		<title>How can we get our employees to learn?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I hear this question, I&#8217;m dumbfounded.  The fact is, people are learning all the time! In fact, you can&#8217;t get them to stop learning. When they chat with their co-workers, they learn something about them, and are adjusting their opinions about them, including how best to work with them. A lot of this is [...]]]></description>

		<title>What&#8217;s workplace task support?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In my About page, I mention that workplace task support is one of my interests. What I mean by that is anything that helps someone get their job done in an efficient and effective manner.

		<title>Too long gone</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I really don&#8217;t like blog posts about not blogging. I don&#8217;t like them because they&#8217;re a bad sign in a blog &#8212; you&#8217;ll see a post about trying to blog more often, then a few blog posts, then a long pause, rinse and repeat until the blog peters out.

		<description><![CDATA[really discussions, that is. I&#8217;m taking an online learning course now, at a good university.  This mode of learning combines two of my favorite things: learning &#38; techy stuff. I&#8217;ve been busy putting pdfs on my Kindle2, annotating and highlighting like crazy. I also like discussion boards &#8212; a great way of having an asynchronous [...]]]></description>

		<title>Games and Simulations for Learning</title>
		<description><![CDATA[That&#8217;s the name of the course I&#8217;ll be teaching this semester at UB. It&#8217;s brand-new, so it doesn&#8217;t have a description yet. I think games are a great way to learn, but you have to design them carefully, especially if you want to do something more sophisticated than a &#8220;Jeopardy&#8221; type of memorization. I abhor [...]]]></description>
