Due to inclement weather, Robin's CSTD Presentation is postponed for March 15.

Read Robin's Blog on the Next Generation Organisational Certification Programme, Web 2.0 Tools and Organisational Change and Transformational Models.

Any important meeting or initiative, we need to have a good prep. That's what we've been doing this afternoon at the ANSI pre-ISO delegate prep meeting. When in Berlin, its good to have good wiener schnitzel so check out Leibniz Klause at Leibniz Strasse - location chosen by Dr. Doug Lynch. Great choice to warm our aching backs and weary jet lagged bodies after a day long trip.

UPDATE: More ISO photos here

We found this session to be very valuable especially to those individuals needing further understanding of social tagging. Harvard University Libraries presented last week Social Tagging @ Harvard: A Del.ici.ous Alternative or Passing Flickr?. You can read more about this at their blog. Click below or here for video part 1 & 2.

Jeffrey and Robin will be presenting a paper on Critical Thinking at the Adult Education Research Conference in Halifax at Mount Saint Vincent University on June 6-9. If you'd like to meet us please email us to setup an appointment.

Down under, we're on our way... !

Robin is of the panelists for the ibstpi (International Board of Standards for Training, Performance, and Instruction) sessions in Australia in June, specifically June 18 in Brisbane, June 22 in Sydney, and June 25 in Melbourne.

This highly interactive session will focus on training competencies that ibstpi has built through the years, specifically Training Manager Competencies, Instructor Competencies, Instructor Designer Competencies and our latest book, the Evaluator Competencies.

If you happen to be in the area and would like further details, please email us at robinyap [at] phroneticinternational[dot]com

Robin will be discussing the value of assessor competencies based on the work that ibstpi just completed. He is joined by Dr. John O'Connor and Dr. Darlene Russ-Eft in this session at the Academy of Human Resources Development Conference in Oxford UK.

Jeffrey will be speaking on the topic of Transforming Learning Theories into Learning Games with Robin at the same conference.
