Gary Pultland used this wonderful video in his talk in Sydney today, illustrating the on the job learning and maybe the makeshift nature of using new technology. At least that's what I think about when watching it. EDS took a smart risk in using it to show how their staff are responsive, adabtable etc. Nasty people will say it illustrates last minute patchups done by programmers. Whatever: it looks like any really lively classroom to me. The passengers generally look please withe getting to their destination.
Gary's talk covered a huge range of opportunities and challenges, then right at the end, one person said, "What about the potential for 3D worlds in learning, like Second Life." Which made me thing, typical, just when you start to get a handle on the business, someone introduces a wild card of unknown potential into your lap (to mix a few metaphors), but get used to it. Keep building your plane!
