ROUNDTABLE
DISCUSSION TOPICS
We use
roundtable discussions to cover general company news updates and topics
that haven't made it onto the formal agenda. Often, roundtable time

-
Craig Hall (USAA): Lead discussion of processes and metrics for
a training organization.
- Mike
Dickinson (The Scooter Store): LMS issues - especially around
Click2Learn's Aspen system, and SCORM standards.
- Jane
Mahoney (MasterCard): LMS "reselection" process; alternatives
to LearningSpace?
- Russ
Sharp (Bank of Montreal): Outsourcing Learning Administration
(Exult) and related LMS (Docent) issues.
- Mike
Dickinson (The Scooter Store) and Stan Malcolm: Lead discussion
of "Informal Learning" and Training's role in it. See
Article
and White
Paper as orientation.
