And then how do you as the provider of the learning gauge its success both in user engagment and value to the user. Technology is the delivery medium - the learning is the item that defines the success and the learning should stand on its own before the delivery medium is applied.

]]> Comment on UK Government IT projects: maybe it’s not the IT that’s the problem by Architela http://www.architela.com/blog/uk-government-it-projects-maybe-its-not-the-it-thats-the-problem/comment-page-1/#comment-427 Architela Fri, 06 Aug 2010 14:04:47 +0000 http://www.architela.com/blog/?p=185#comment-427 Well, Graham, I've not found a solution either. I get the occasional letter telling me to finish my registration, but it's just too much bother emailing someone to find out where the face-to-face sessions are (in the right district) and then having no incentive to travel there anyway, even if I could find the time.

I have not written to my local PCT (yet) but once more they seem to be offering drop-in sessions which also form the mobile registration office. These are infrequent (only one left for me to attend in August!) and by the nature of it often involve travel. I get the compromises around providing a mobile service and soem credit that they tried and I suspect these were poorly attended. However, the fundamental process is flawed and why not use their regular PCT offices or local GP surgeries to call into? After all, the GP surgery knows me and they could have a simple process to verify that the right ID has been seen?!? Box more clever please and I hope reforms mean that more pragmatic and common sense approaches make this far more efficient. Integrated and clever solutions please. Sorry to rant on your blog and I also find myself expressing my dismay at something that should be good and easy to use.

]]> Comment on Why our online discussion didn’t work by @Bear_Faced http://www.architela.com/blog/why-our-online-discussion-didn%e2%80%99t-work/comment-page-1/#comment-424 @Bear_Faced Tue, 03 Aug 2010 17:53:23 +0000 http://www.architela.com/blog/?p=281#comment-424 This is a really good article. Today I sent a colleague some pdfs via email. He then emails me to tell me he will travel 40 miles of more from Corby to Leicester tomorrow to discuss them. At the same time I know he is a member in at least 3 groove workspaces with me. Even when there are just two people, if one still ain't thinking right about IT yet then surely all is lost. At least for this business generation now. Perhaps the lean mean bright young things snapping at our heals will click so to speak about online collaboration and teamworking. But then again... perhaps there is something about face to face that will always make travelling 50 miles worthwhile? This is a really good article. Today I sent a colleague some pdfs via email.
