E-learning has rarely, if ever, been called a weapon of mass collaboration but if the cap fits wear it.
Donald Clark, board member of UFI LearnDirect and blogger extraordinaire, cites Audit Commission statistics that show that local authority spending on training per annum is over £500m and two thirds of this spend is duplicated.
Shocking statistics in today’s environment of efficiency savings and frugality.
It seems the opportunity for collaboration is massive.
Donald is speaking at the Public Sector Learning Conference on 20th May where he will build on what he sees is the big opportunity and quick win for public sector organisations.
Donald will be outlining why he feels sharing, self-publishing, search and social-networking will shape the 21st Century and how, in the middle of the current financial difficulties, lies opportunity.
Other speakers at Public Sector Learning – Fresh ideas for tomorrow’s people include:
Ben Page, MD, Ipos MORI
Major Roy Evans, British Army
Charles Jennings, Duntroon Associates
Henry Stewart, Chief Executive, Happy Computers

Wow - what a great line-up we have for our conference - looking forward to seeing everyone there
Going to be a great event. Looking forward to seeing Major Roy again - I thought he was amazing last time I saw him speak (that is not to say that i am not looking forward to all the others)
It sound great, I wish I could be there but am working at the moment in Bulgaria and cant get away. Is there some way of getting the text of the presentations after the event? I would be very grateful
