New Blog: Workplace Learning Today
By Richard Nantel | August 14, 2008
This week, Brandon Hall Research analysts Janet Clarey, Tom Werner, Gary Woodill, and I launched a new group blog: Workplace Learning Today. The purpose of this blog is to provide readers with a daily summary of news, events, commentary, and research on all aspects of workplace learning.
I’m pleased to be collaborating with such a smart group on this project. Each analyst has his or her individual areas of interest which I think will quickly come through in our postings:
- Janet Clarey has an extensive background working in training departments. She’s been in the training trenches and knows the challenges learning professionals face. She’s wonderfully entertaining and our most popular blogger. Her posts are read by hundreds daily.
- Tom Werner has been diving very deeply into Second Life and other virtual worlds for the last few months. Consequently, I pretty much expect to have his avatar show up at our Innovations in Learning Conference while the real Tom stays home and drinks wine. Expect quite a few posts about virtual worlds from Tom until he finds his next big thing.
- Gary Woodill is our resident futurist. Gary is only rarely present, preferring to spend most of his time walking his three poodles in the year 2020. Gary looks at a PowerPoint and can’t help thinking it would be better as a hologram. (Unfortunately, he refuses to disclose what the stock market will be at next year. Selfish!)
- As for me, my interests fall more in the areas of science, technology, talent management, and the nature of work. I’ll do my best to spice up posts on topics that might appear to be dull at first glance.
I hope you enjoy this new resource.

Great idea Richard. Is this a stream of all the 4 blogs or will there be more then that? I’m asking as I’ve got you all on my blog reader so adding this blog would be duplicating for me - unless of course there is added value!

The workplace Learning Today blog contains original material. We won’t be duplicating posts from our personal blogs on this new one.
BTW, Kristina, I picked up “The Back of the Napkin” yesterday based on your review.

Yesterday has come a site about techila makes her clothes fall off . Why such sites become? I understand nothing.
