It fits somewhat with the suggestion that informal scanning is the norm for SMEs as compared to Large Enterprises. Martin - I definitely would like to see what you find! 2008-06-23T18:40:56.344+02:00 2008-06-23T18:40:56.344+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=DocTK&conv=1452572&comment_id=28004003 Tony Karrer test 2008-06-23T14:23:04.377+02:00 2008-06-23T14:23:04.377+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=DocTK&conv=1452572&comment_id=27545930 Tony Karrer As I'm thinking about this ... 1. We probably should be trying to convince people that additional scanning makes sense, but ... 2. I'm much more focused on making desired scanning behavior better, more efficient, etc. This is also making me step back and ask the question - Why is the person scanning in the first place? 2008-06-21T16:43:01.430+02:00 2008-06-21T16:43:01.430+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=DocTK&conv=1452572&comment_id=27544948 Tony Karrer Okay - so I need to find a term other than Scan which means - activities that keep you abreast of a topic, field, etc. This is not a directed search - although I could certainly define a pattern that is periodically (there's a time element here) searching for information (information inflow) and capturing it as a post or via social bookmarking (some kind of processing - often minimal). The purpose is to learn, stay up-to-speed, but is not trying to solve a specific problem. Does anyone particularly like "Monitor", "Continuous Learning" or something else? Of course, maybe a lot of this is moot ... Dave - you've somewhat captured my worry here. Showing someone how to use RSS doesn't do any good if they don't care about the information. Having it pile up in an RSS reader doesn't do them any good. Martin - in looking at Small Business behavior - is scanning important to them? 2008-06-21T16:36:45.762+02:00 2008-06-21T16:36:45.762+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=DocTK&conv=1452572&comment_id=27526105 Tony Karrer I picked up the term from various folks in the PKM space. I believe the word is used a bit like "scanning the horizon" ... but I hear your concern on the preconception that we are talking about scanning in a similar context to skimming. I'm open to other terms for these types of tasks. Suggestions? 2008-06-20T18:00:20.207+02:00 2008-06-20T18:00:20.207+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=DocTK&conv=1452572&comment_id=27526022 Tony Karrer Virginia - in my terminology "monitor" is part of "scanning". But I like how you are differentiating different parts of scanning activities and really different methods, skills, etc. Do you really think that most "monitor" to stay abreast of trends? My sense is more in line with Nancy. 2008-06-20T17:30:29.265+02:00 2008-06-20T17:30:29.265+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=DocTK&conv=1452572&comment_id=27525968 Tony Karrer What I hear is that scanning is like exercise, eating right, vitamins, etc. It's good for you, but you probably don't do it. Time is primary reason not to - but likely you are making choices all the time about relative importance. Is that fair? Do we try to change that attitude? Nancy - do you try to change that attitude? 2008-06-20T17:06:58.739+02:00 2008-06-20T17:06:58.739+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=DocTK&conv=1426255&comment_id=27161505 Tony Karrer Quick thought - post some of the deeper thoughts around group theory that relate to the concepts in the presentation. (and link again) ... Likely there's value in what you are discussing ... especially if you relate it back to the presentation. 2008-06-09T15:16:55.121+02:00 2008-06-09T15:16:55.121+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=DocTK&conv=1425130&comment_id=27151347 tony.karrer Wow, a lot of work to leave a short comment. Very good stuff here Dave. I like the visual representation and the examples as well as where they are applied. 2008-06-08T19:27:21.728+02:00 2008-06-08T19:27:21.728+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=DocTK&conv=1419947&comment_id=27080225 Tony Karrer Jeffrey - I think I should apologize to you. I totally missed an opportunity to arrange to grab dinner together on Mon evening. I'm not sure what I was thinking - why didn't I connect the dots. Could have got Buckeye Beth to go with (maybe). Maybe have invited people who wanted to talk more about implications of Web 2.0 on corporate learning. Hmm ... okay enough venting via comments in your blog. 2008-06-05T01:57:13.760+02:00 2008-06-05T01:57:13.760+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=DocTK&conv=1419940&comment_id=27079836 Tony Karrer Thanks for live blogging. Some random thoughts from your notes: 1. eHarmony - the founders of eHa2rmony didn't have any data on gay marriage and given their Christian roots I don't think (but not sure) believed in it. Without the data, they would never have included it. A family member of mine that is gay and I have had a couple of interesting discussions around that topic. Okay, I'm way off topic. 2. Not using it appropriately - ouch - man did I mis-speak on that. I meant to say that I could find opportunities to accomplish things in other ways. Although if I was talking about Google search - maybe I said inappropriately - but I still would have preferred to say better. Wow, I'm surprised I said that. Shoot. 3. Curious if I will get you to use LinkedIn more ... you actually seem (given Twitter use) to be someone who would use LinkedIn. Send me a link request and get into the eLearningGuild group. Opens up more people. Then when you have an expertise need likely you can find a few interesting conversations. Just a thought. 4. Good suggestion on having more screen shots in the slides - interesting that I was limited to X number of pages (the number that I had). It's a no win situation. If your handout is different than your presentation - people scream bloody murder. So, you learn not to put stuff like screen shots in there. But maybe next time I'll do that. Good input. FYI - The slides are available - so no need for a camera. Chris captured the sentiment exactly. If I only had another 60 minutes we could have had a pretty interesting discussion about the implications. Tough to do in that audience. I probably sound defensive in these comments ... but really it's me thinking through what I did right / wrong and what I'll change. Good news is that given the dysfunctional teams presentation - I feel like arguing is acceptable. :) If you have further thoughts, I'm all ears. 2008-06-05T01:45:47.313+02:00 2008-06-05T01:45:47.313+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=DocTK&conv=1028189&comment_id=20077284 Tony Karrer Great to hear. Can you create a page with the Tutorials, Videos, Tips so we can see what you used? 2007-10-05T16:00:00.132+02:00 2007-10-05T16:00:00.132+02:00
