Conference Backchannels: Archive of Collected Resource Postings

I am a huge proponent of backchannel learning.  There are many conferences I would love to be able to attend, but my budget can only accommodate one or two each year.  The backchannel is an excellent resource for learning from a conference or event that you are unable to attend in-person.

I find collecting and reviewing backchannel resources to be a valuable learning experience for me, even when I am attending a conference in person.  Sharing these collections on this blog has shown that others find value in the collections as well.

As the number of these posts grows and continue to contribute value to me and others, I have created this post as an ongoing 'archive' and single point of reference to my conference backchannel collected resource posts.  The listing starts with the most recent post and goes backwards chronologically.

Resources Shared at Recent Presentations

I recently had the privilege of speaking at a joint ASTD / SHRM Chapter Meeting. The topic of the evening's discussion was The Importance of Measurement in Learning and Performance.

The discussion covered a brief history of measurement of learning and performance, as well as where measurement may be going in the future.  This blog post collects the resources that I shared as well as other resources that can continue the discussions and learning from the presentation.
