John Bell
Sorry so late in responding... My name is John Bell, and I have been with Cisco since 1998. I was responsible for organizing and encouraging most of the Cisco presence in the Extreme session this week; we are excited to be participating. My roles at Cisco have placed me around e-learning and learning infrastructure during most of my time here.
I am part of an operational team at Cisco serving our field sales organization, and my current focus leans towards learning infrastructure; LMS, LCMS, collaboration tools, learning portals, content hosting and services, and the like.
My interest is as an operational strategist for one of Cisco's learning portals, known as Sales University. During the next fiscal year we will focus on analysis and roadmap evolution in the area of "Informal Learning" (as described by Jay Cross), which would include a number of the items on the Extreme Agenda, particularly those dealing with communities and collaboration, in my case most notably...
*Wikis for Learning **
*Simulation-Based Learning
*PodCasts and Video PodCasts
*Mobile Learning
*Performance Support and Embedded Learning
*Collaboration Techniques **
*Device-based Learning
*Continuous Presence and Coaching **
*Google-focused Learning
*Peer-based On-Boarding and Development **
One of my primary goals with our Informal Learning project is to begin evolving our capabilities in Sales University to exploit this whole concept of "user-driven value" that goes along with many of these collaborative tools and approaches. No longer is it completely about how many features and functions your solution might offer; in this new world, it seems that much of a solution's value can be derived by usage and participation, and we want to assure that we are well positioned to capitalize on that phenomenon, and maximize learning outcomes for our learners.
FYI, Cisco is taking a very strong stance in support of many of the web 2.0 capabilities that are now evolving; wiki's, blogs, RSS, virtual worlds, etc. All tying in as a component of our 'human network' focus.
This presents a very nice synergy to where Cisco is heading as a company.
Looking forward to a great week! Oh, and by the way, I am probably an intermediate on most of these topics.
