\n Last week, I ran across 2 postings that involved companies creating their own platforms and methods of educating and training\u00a0folks — especially for their own industry and their own business needs.\u00a0<\/strong> They were:<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

A relevant aside\/excerpt from Learning TRENDS by Elliott Masie – October 10, 2014\u00a0 | #851 – Updates on Learning, Business & Technology<\/em><\/p>\n

  1. Stephen Colbert – “Appointment TV” – Carol Burnett Perspective: Last night, a fun convergence happened between the Stephen Colbert TV Show, Learning, Carol Burnnett and Appointment TV.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    As you may know, MASIE Productions is co-producing Love Letters – Starring Carol Burnett starting tomorrow on Broadway. She was interviewed on the Colbert TV Show and asked about the change in how people watch and consume media and content.<\/p>\n

    Stephen Colbert noted that when her show was on decades ago, she had 50 million viewers each week for the Carol Burnett Show. Carol noted:<\/p>\n

    * Every Saturday night there were these shows on in row: Archie Bunker, MASH, Mary Tyler Moore, Bob Newhart, Carol Burnett<\/p>\n

    * She joked that, back then – in 1967 – “There was only 1 channel on TV” – though there were only a few \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

    * But, she said that the difference was that it was “APPOINTMENT TELEVISION” – People made a plan, to sit together with family and friends, and watch a show together – as others did at the same time around the country.<\/p>\n

    I loved her phrase “APPOINTMENT TELEVISION”.\u00a0 In relates directly to Learning.\u00a0 Much of what we did, for decades, was “APPOINTMENT TRAINING” – a parallel to the same trend in the workplace.\u00a0 But, now the shift is towards many – many – more options – and viewer\/learner freedom to choose when, what, how long and how often.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
