>1. Results of Survey: Learning at Our Desks: Here is an executive summary
>of our recent Learning Decisions Newsletter research on the ability (and
>preference) of learners to learn at their desks. There were 2,474 responses
>from learning and training professionals during the week of May 15, 2000:
>
>Where would you ideally want to take an important e-Learning event?
>47% - At my desk
>20% - In a learning center or conference room
>21% - At home
>
>When would you most likely take an e-Learning offering at your desk?
>16% - Before work
>17% - After work
>16% - At lunch
>29% - During work
>2% - On my days off
>
>How would you describe your ability to concentrate when you take an
>e-Learning offering at your desk?
>15% - Easy to concentrate
>35% - Fairly easy to concentrate
>35% - A bit distracting
>15% - Very distracting
>
>Activities that make it make it difficult to concentrate on e-Learning:
>33% - Phone calls
>15% - E-mail Checking
>43% - Interruptions from colleagues stopping by
>3% - Ridicule from unsupportive colleagues
>7% - Consequences from unsupportive manager
>
>As you can see, there was a 50 - 50 split in folks that could easily
>concentrate at their desks during normal work hours. For complete data
>reports and our analysis, including multi-tasking research results,

>2. High Speed Learning in Hotels? I am in Chicago this morning and noticed
>that this is the third hotel in a row that has high speed internet access in
>my room. For only $9 a night, I have hooked up my laptop to a DSL high
>speed connection. This broadband access is rapidly becoming a norm in
>business level hotels. It will create a new ability for travelers to hook
>up for high-speed access to e-Learning experiences. Interestingly, the home
>page that pops up when you start to use these optional services do not
>include a LEARNING option, alongside SHOP and DINE menu choices. That will
>change in the next few months. We will also see major organizations make
>deals to have VPN services, allowing travelers to work behind their
>corporate firewalls. For an example of one of these providers see
>http://www.cais.com (It is ironic to write this note, as I started a
>national effort to have modem ports put into hotels in July 1986. Back
>then, you had to move the bed and open the wall plate to install a phone
>line for your 300 baud modem.)

>3. Tom Peters (TechLearn Keynoter) Video Streamable As a ramp up to
>TechLearn 2000, we are providing content segments from our major keynote and
>special session speakers. Here is a two hour video seminar from Tom Peters
