Over the summer I've been working on some research for the E-Learning Guild's upcoming 360º Report on e-Learning 2.0. My particular focus has been on understanding the needs of today's new breed of learners and the implications that this will have for workplace learning. My piece will be published by the Guild in the next few weeks, so I will keep you posted ...
However, one of the features of today's new learner that is becoming evident is that they are multi-taskers, so it was interesting to just come across an article in Learning Circuits Magazine that looks at how you deliver material "in a way that appeals to a busy, distracted, overwhelmed, and often multitasking audience".
Personally, I think it is going to need much more than new ways of presenting material to these individuals, but ensuring that they are in fact part of the whole content creation and sharing process themselves, but this is certainly a great start to thinking about this issue, and one of a few articles I've seen considering this subject.
