I ❤ Learning, I ❤ Technology, and my name is Dan. All views are my own (or the author who I have shared).

Hey @msft_events! The upcoming #AITour in Paris hosted by @nvidia and yourselves... Is it English or French speaking? Mon français n’est pas bon pour cet événement. J’apprends (lentement)... merci, @duolingo.

Bit of a change this year, heading to @HRTechUK for a few days! Good talks so far around how #HRTech can help the #skills agenda in the workplace.

Once I stood in a community centre with transparencies and handouts, now I look after the technology that enables 200,000 retail colleagues to do their best. The scale has changed, but my passion to learn, ability to adjust and curiosity to ask questions has not #ELNelection2020

[LearnTechDan Megson (He/Him) @LearnTechDan]

Having worked with @TechNerdCat over the last two years, I can safely say she has my vote for #eLNelection2020 for a director position for @elearningnetwk - an amazing candidate who has fresh yet realistic ideas across the spectrum of #EdTech and #LearnTech.

[Cat Appleton @TechNerdCat]

I'm standing in the #eLNelection2020 full members of the @elearningnetwk can vote and I'd love your support

[LearnTechDan Megson (He/Him) @LearnTechDan]

@Kallidus Thanks @Kallidus! Looking forward to joining you!

[LearnTechDan Megson (He/Him) @LearnTechDan]

Delighted to be joining @Kallidus as Commercial Product Manager at the end of November! I can’t wait to join the team and help the organisation further develop its award-winning solutions.

@MrMiNiKi @mattwatson01 @TechNerdCat So many stories and anecdotes. But I'd summarise as "Don't let learning block the objectives of the organisation", "Don't let learning become a friction point", and "Don't let your learning solutions compete with organic learning - you'll lose."

I thought I’d explain what happened today because I’m absolutely exhausted and tbh I think a light needs to be shone on this. Especially given so many people like me seem to experience the same thing.

[LearnTechDan Megson (He/Him) @LearnTechDan]

@mentormullarkey It gets better... in the article it calls out it's actually a bidding war between #Deadpool and Mac from It's #alwayssunny In Philadelphia.

[LearnTechDan Megson (He/Him) @LearnTechDan]

Today is #OnlineLearningDay - I first experienced digital learning (it was pre-online) at 14 doing an NVQ at @StBedesScience that was created by @Thomas_Telford and sold on a CD-ROM (pre-DVD) to complete at school/home. Now I work in digital learning.

Not ‘new’ pedagogical concepts, but the appropriate existing pedagogical concepts. Remote digital learning is not new. It’s the bedrock of the largest university in the U.K. and has been for some time.

Probably the most interesting article I've read in the last year - nothing overly new, but extremely well... https://t.co/RVepRF5g3z

Great webinar shared by @nicemediauk - I couldn't make this one due to team commitments, so really great to grab the playback!

So no Tesco, because halal chicken. No Sainsbury’s, because no racism.
No Lidl and Aldi, because brexit.
Where are the racist going to shop now? 🤣 #BoycottSainsburys

The reversal on return to UK primary schools is another example of this government's on-the-hoof policy making:

1) Set a target
2) Announce it
3) Meet opposition
4) Maintain target will be met
5) Meet complexity
6) Talk to the people who know
7) Adjust/reverse/fudge

8) Repeat

⚠️ Is @googlechrome about to kill your elearning? ⚠️

Chrome v.80 and v.83 doesn't support (or support by default) some key calls to your LMS. Thanks to @TechNerdCat for flagging, and @SAP who have shared a great KB article on the problem.

@TechNerdCat @sainsburyarch @mattwatson01 I think it's a heat exchanger for HVAC and refrigeration. The duct it's attached to is similar to old plant rooms and the lagging on the pipes at the back looks like HVAC/refrigeration piping. Delta made refrigeration components for retail cabinets back in the day.

[LearnTechDan Megson (He/Him) @LearnTechDan]

@TechNerdCat @sainsburyarch Ummm... My money is on refrigeration plant. Way before my time, but Delta used to make refrigeration equipment and I see some telltale pipes lurking in the background.

[LearnTechDan Megson (He/Him) @LearnTechDan]

@mattwatson01 @sainsburyarch @TechNerdCat Hmmmm... I wonder if any of the old FM Engineers are still knocking about...
