The DPG Community has been a cornerstone of our learning experience for several thousand learners over the past four years, so it was nice to reflect on this and what can be learned when setting up communities of practice in our organisations.</p>
<p>We also looked at the news surrounding the press discussions on Facebook's moderation guidelines and joined in on the regular what have you learned this week feature.</p>
<p>Please do share your thoughts on what we discussed using the comments on this page. Do take time to check out more episodes of the regular Good Practice podcast which is available on IOS and Android too. <a href="http://podcast.goodpractice.com/" target="_blank">Find out more here.</a></p>
<p>Here's this week's episode. Once you've had a listen (or whilst you're listening) I'm interested to hear your responses to the questions below....</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><span class="font-size-5">18th and 25th June 2014 - Free 2 Day, Online Event</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span class="font-size-3">We've all probably heard of the big annual L&D and HR Conferences, but how many of you know about the Virtual Learning Show?</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span class="font-size-3">Now in its third year, the events are held twice a year in Summer and Winter. The 2014 Summer Virtual Learning Show is coming up on 18th and 25th June. It's FREE to attend and delivered online meaning that there is no need to travel or take big chunks out of your working week. You can attend as many or as few of the free sessions as you like and there's regular breaks throughout.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Over the weekend, I got chance to catch up with Colin Steed, Chief Executive of the Learning and Performance Institute and also the man behind the event to interview him on what the event is all about, what you'll learn and how you can be a part of it.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The full 30 minute interview is on my podcast channel which you can find at <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.adyhowes.podbean.com" target="_blank">www.adyhowes.podbean.com</a>. Have a listen in (stick it on instead of the radio whilst you're working or if you like pop it on your Smart Phone and have a listen whilst you drive).</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">It would be great to see some of you at the event, which you can register for free at <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.virtuallearningshow.com" target="_blank">www.virtuallearningshow.com</a></span></p>

<p></p></div>Make time for 15 minutes of learning every dayhttps://community.dpgplc.co.uk/blog/make-time-for-15-minutes-of-learning-every-day2013-02-04T15:34:13.000Z2013-02-04T15:34:13.000ZPaul Judgehttps://community.dpgplc.co.uk/members/PaulJudge<div><p>I spent the day at the Learning Skills & Learning Technologies exhibition in London last week and sat in on a number of the free seminars that took place throughout the day. In three out of the five seminars the speaker talked about spending at least 15 minutes learning every day. 15 minutes of learning every day equals over 90 hours of learning every year. That’s a lot of learning!</p>
<p><br><a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/1357122?profile=original" target="_self"><img src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/1357122?profile=original" width="228" class="align-left"></a></p>
<p>This got me thinking about not only the benefits that amount of learning could bring, but also about all the things I could actually do in 15 minutes of my time every day to learn. No matter how busy we are in our jobs we can all make time for 15 minutes of learning. So I started a list:</p>
<ul>
<li>Watch a TED talk <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.ted.com/">www.ted.com</a></li>
<li>Read a blog article (here’s a good one – <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.optimussourcing.com/hints-and-tips/reinforcing-learning-in-the-workplace">Reinforcing Learning in the Workplace</a>)</li>
<li>Watch a YouTube video</li>
<li>Read up about a subject on Wikipedia (why not try this one – <a rel="nofollow" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lifelong_learning">Lifelong Learning</a> )</li>
<li>Listen to a podcast</li>
<li>Read a book, newspaper or trade journal (TJ is a good one –<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.trainingjournal.com/">www.trainingjournal.com</a> )</li>
<li>Talk to a colleague</li>
<li>Complete a module of e-learning</li>
</ul>
<p>Please let me know if you have any more for my list or if there is anything that you would like to share with us?</p>
<p>I’m sure we all do some of the things on my list everyday anyway as we go about our daily tasks and routines and without really thinking about, but I’m going to introduce some more structure around what I spend my 15 minutes of time learning about and make a plan. I will also encourage my colleagues in the office to do the same and at the end of the week when we have our team meeting we can all discuss and share what we have all learnt during the week.</p>
