 * What is the largest and most successful training and education provider in the world (and in your town)?


 * Google
 * Youtube
 * Wikipedia


 * But they don't provide training and education!


 * Well no, not yet. But they do facilitate a lot of learning that should be recognised as training and education


 * Workplace learning
 * Flexible learning
 * Informal learning
 * Just in time learning
 * Mobile learning
 * Inquiry learning
 * Constructivist learning
 * Contructionist learning
 * Distance learning
 * Open learning
 * Networked learning
 * Face to face learning


 * So Google, Youtube and Wikipedia can facilitate all kinds of learning on any conceivable topic. Is the training and education sector taking advantage of this?


 * 1) Free wireless Internet everywhere
 * 2) Change IP policy
 * 3) Get content on Google, Youtube and Wikipedia
 * 4) Engage with socially constructed media
 * 5) Streamline assessment
 * 6) Make learning free (charge for education if you must)
 * 7) Use Free and Open Source Software and standards
