"Anyone who makes a distinction between games and learning doesn't know the first thing about either"Then...I hustled over the session talking about video, MPEG4, Flash video, etc. That is where I discovered the golden nugget I had been looking: Corporate YouTube! On2 Flix has a server engine product that allows you to create a web app for users to upload video clips...it then compresses the video to flash video...just like YouTube. Hopefully this "YouTube" style compression and user-generated video content system will not bog down corporate bandwidth.
Training is an event. Learning is a process. Technology supports both. Improving workplace performance is the goal.

eLearnDevCon Tuesday update - Games, Corporate YouTube
After giving my Wikis and Learning presentation (coming soon to a podcast near you.) I floated around the sessions poking my head in and out. I stopped off at the Games for learning session and was impressed with the content. At least the content I was there for. One thing I would like to add for those of you new to my blog and/or attending the conference is Raph Koster's book... A Theory of Fun. This is a fabulous book with so much learning theory in it that it should required reading at all EdTech schools. And I love sharing this quote from Marshal Mcluhan:

You're doing awesome blog coverage of this event. Very informative and useful - thanks!
That corporate YouTube clone is very interesting. I'm going to have to check that one out - it might fill a need that popped up recently...
