#1 - "Self-Directed Learning" Increases
Due to economic pressures, companies are going to reduce training budgets to a point where it doesn't make sense to create content on marginal topics. Instead, we will call this "self-directed learning" and will do our best to support the workforce to learn it on their own with minimal guidance and support.

LBCC is Now on Twitter!
"What is this 'Twitter' thing I have been hearing about?" is a question I have been asked a lot in recent months. The ironic thing is, even while I try to answer that question, I am still asking it of myself. Twitter may best be described as a casual mix of the best features of an email, blog and instant messaging tool, with many of the benefits and few of the negative of each.
When I first started my personal Twitter account (believe me, you don't want to see it) a few months ago, it instantly occurred to me that Twitter is one of those things that you immediately "get" or "don't get" right off the bat.
Twitter submissions have a 140 character limit, so you will need to economize your thoughts, and you will never have a huge amount to read from comments of people you "follow." Wait a minute, what does it mean to "follow" someone on Twitter? I could explain here, or you could get more of a hands-on feel for Twitter by visiting Linn-Benton Community College's Twitter page.
Enjoy, and Tweet away!
