John talks to Dr. Jane Bozarth, Director of Research at The
Learning Guild, about how the rise of digital technology is
changing expectations about the sort of skills and qualifications a
learning professional should have in the 21st Century – and about
her own, long career in learning.
That career includes numerous books, work as a columnist for
Learning Solutions Magazine, and a long-standing position as
E-Learning Co-ordinator for the US state of North Carolina. More
than all that, Jane has always been a fount of no-nonsense,
practical advice for learning professionals, and there's plenty to
be found in this interview.
