There's a tremendous amount of content that has already been created.   What role does content curation play in learning strategy?  What are some of the important functions of a content curator?  What are the ethics of sharing content created by someone else?   Margot Bloomstein presented on this topic at SXSW 2011.  Her presentation starts creating a structure for content creation and discusses how to add value during the process.   I hope it will start a discussion at E-Learning Council on this learning function.

CommLab India is hosting a free webinar on September 15th at 10AM EDT on the blending of E-Learning with Instructor Led Training for a current, effective learning solution. The webinar will discuss: 

• What are typical training goals?
• What is blended learning? What are the benefits of combining ILTs with your eLearning initiatives?
• What are some of the considerations that drive your framework for the design of a blended solution?
• How do you plan for a blended solution?
• What are a few best practices for putting together the perfect blend?

Join your fellow E-Learning Council members for a night of food, drink, fun, and networking at Beale Street Tavern on historic East 6th.
