Announcing the Informal Unworkshop

Blogs, Wikis, and Web Tools for Learning

Unworkshop?

Unworkshops are hybrid group learning experiences in which participants take responsibility for their own learning. Since people learn by doing, hands-on practice and real-world application are center stage. An unworkshop is a combination of scheduled webinars and self-paced activities. Recordings of every session are available for review. Unworkshop activities come in small chunks to accommodate tight calendars. Coaches are at the ready to help you overcome obstacles. Unworkshops challenge you to engage in “hard fun.”  When you earn a Certificate of Completion, you’re invited to join a vibrant alumni community. Unworkshops will challenge the way you think about how your employees learn..

The Feburary 2006 Unworkshop

The last two weeks of February will see the inaugural unworkshop on using internet tools to deliver corporate learning. We will explore how blogs, wikis, RSS, and mash-ups can support informal learning. Our unworkshop coach, Dave Lee, who maintains the Learning Circuits Blog, will conduct individual coaching sessions with each participant and advise you while you are with us.

The good news about paricipating in a Beta unworkshop is that you can expect a lot of handholding, I will deliver every webinar live, and you get bragging rights for helping shape up the program. On the downside, you can expect a few first-time glitches, and we may have six or seven sessions instead of five (and up to six weeks instead of two and a half.) Please submit the information below if you’d like to join us. If you’d rather come aboard after our maiden voyage, click the "Contact me later" button below.

Price for participating in this unworkshop is $300.
