I work in health and have great trouble sometimes trying to get the staff to engage in any kind of learning activity other than the 'here you are, learn it'. The whole idea of learning is soemthing you don't just do at work is one that I'm looking at in relation to trying to engage with people who put up lots of barriers to learning.

Some of my best and most relevant learning for work has been outside work. Fiction writing classes, reading...all sorts of fiction, non-fiction, and everything in between, traveling around the world, long grueling hikes, hanging out with non-techie friends and family members who have totally different perspectives about the role of technology on life and work, hanging out with little children! I just never realized it was all part of my "integrated and interconnected ecology." Hi Jas – I love this post! Some of my best and most relevant learning for work has been outside work.

Yes I agree it can not all be solved with technology, it is far more complex. For instance, <a href="http://engineerswithoutfears.blogspot.com/2008/02/life-based-learning-should-my-circus.html" rel="nofollow">how much do people want to share with their employer or other colleagues?</a> Some people may better prefer to have standard training "thrown at them." Some employers may prefer to dictate training content. However an employer of choice, I believe, will promote the development of the individual, promote forward thinking, foster personal growth and encourage learning as a style of working, not quite so distinct as a function.

It's fascinating and really exciting how Web 2.0 is changing the idea of learning. I believe that in the future the focus of a lot of organizations during the hiring process is going to be on finding individuals who are tech-savvy and self-directed enough to learn a lot on their own. Thing is, a technocentric view of this isn't enough and I think it's the simple part of the jigsaw puzzle. Optimizing the human aspect getting it to fit together with former is the real huge challenge. Hi wonderwebby, thanks for the lovely post and cool links.
