Many
of you have encouraged me to get more prolific with the
book summaries. You say:
* "I want to try it before I buy it..."
* "I don't have time for the whole book but I want
to stay informed..."
New
4-page Book Summary:
Leading E-Learning by William Horton
Well
here's a summary for Leading E-Learning, which is
the first book in ASTD's e-learning series. The author,
William Horton, knows his stuff and is quite in demand on
the seminar circuit these days.
This
book is packed with interesting details which means my simple
summary really doesn't do it justice. It provides a good
e-learning overview to those who are trying to introduce
e-learning in their organization.

Finally,
on a personal note...
Thanks
for all the well wishes and restaurant recommendations before
my trip to Rome. Jet lag hit me harder than I expected but
the trip was great. Amazing history, amazing art, amazing
people, and amazing food.
I stood in the spot where the Catholic Church tried Galileo
in 1633 for his heretical teachings that the Earth revolves
around the sun. Made me think about our modern day efforts
at change management and the reluctance of many to see what
new technologies are clearly showing.
Here's
to living and learning,
