Innovation @ Learning Technologies 2006?
I visited the London Learning Technologies exhibition last week to continue my relentless sniffing for innovation and of course to network to find out what's really going on in the UK industry these days...
Here's some of what I noticed:
Chocolate Innovation - free flowing chocolate for guest dipping.
The 'Winner' of this supplier's putting contest gets a chance at a 5 day IT project management workshop (click on image to read fine print) That's a prize? Insomniacs were lining up. The days of the 5 day epic cram it all in and you're certified workshops are over, guys. At least they should be.
Now here's real innovation - streaming video to 3G phones on an open platform ready for emerging broadcast standards from Datmedia. Want to synch your corporate slides with videos, add chat/discussion, rip to portable devices, look no further.
Other standouts were our friends at Giunti Labs with the world's foremost Mobile Learning Content Management System, with clients on wearable computers, phones, PDAs, BlackBerrys and soon handheld gaming devices, and Learning Guide - still a great perfomance support tool that's easy to implement for instant system and process support online. How about a mobile version, guys?? ;-)
We didn't see much else pushing the envelope and making a difference. Did you?
