Wow–already June.

I’ve been invited (thanks Martin) to sit on a panel at this year’s Microlearning conference. I’ll be chatting with Ajit Jaokar and Roger Fischer. Ajit’s keynote is entitled “The future of mobile data and Mobile Web 2.0 and the impact on information and learning”. Should be an interesting discussion!

Microlearning 2007 is taking place June 21-22 in Innsbruck.

The Microlearning Conferences are about new forms of learning emerging in the microcontent-based digital media environments.

Microcontent is the kind of (very) small pieces (quite) loosely joined that emerged in the last five years, in the Web as well as in the mobile/cellular sphere. As “microcontent”is breaking free from macro-sized silos to form new, much more loosely coupled formats and structures, old forms of e-learning, of knowledge management, and of information acquisition must fail.

Four thematic focal points will be approached at this year’s event from the micro-perspective:

• Mobile Web 2.0: Possible uses for education, knowledge and information
• Micro-environments: Transformations of knowledge through digital microcontent & Web 2.0 micromedia
• Classroom Without Walls: The impact of micromedia and micolearning on courses, learners and teachers
• Corporate (Micro-)Learning for the “Information Workplace 2.0″: How learning, training and knowledge aquisition must change
