Reposted Interview: The Future of “21st-Century” Training & Development

This links to a Bloomfire interview with Dr. Allen Partridge, eLearning Evangelist at Adobe (man, now that would be a cool business card to hand out, wouldn't it?). He had some interesting things to say about the road ahead with learning communities. In particular, his questions about how to assess learning 2.0 skills are thought-provoking. If communities of practice are to become more central to workers' job requirements, then how will we identify the contributions of the individual in order to assess, reward, correct, etc.?

The nature of free enterprise is that we reach tomorrow's achievements by posing and discussing really good questions today. So for now, Partridge is doing the right thing by asking the right questions.

Come get me, Mother. I'm through.
