World of Learning Feedback

I'm working on writing an article for the Learning Events team that produce the World of Learning conference, highlighting the value of Podcasting (we produced the first UK conference podcast for their delegates), and mobile learning which we showcased in our booth and gave away a Gizmondo in our prize drawing. I asked the drawing winner Dave Spinks of ITV for a quote on what he thought, having had a few months to play with it and here's what he had to say:

Of course Ron, I enjoyed meeting the people on your stand as you were all so enthusiastic, and have some really interesting stuff that really challenges me to think about the ways I currently deliver training within ITV and how potentially it could deliver greater impact to a wider range of people.

Making use of podcasting technology was a great idea; I found it of great use and gave a value added feel to the whole conference. I am racking my brains to think of ways we could exploit this technology.

The Gizmondo is a fantastic machine, I have played with all its functionality, and it certainly is so much more than a games machine.

The WOL event in general was very good; some of the seminars were quite similar, although I had done the rounds this year with HRD and Harrogate. However in general there was some great speakers and insightful information - certainly WOL, for me, was about opening my eyes to things like the podcast, Giz, Blogging, using GPS and the next level of online learning. Although I am still not entirely 100% sure of next steps - time for the reflector bin me to get to work!!!!

Glad we were able to bring fresh ideas to the conference that are still having an impact!
