About This Site

Thank you for visiting. I try to write a few times each week on topics related to learning in the workplace, predominantly social learning (since most learning is social). Inspiration for writing usually comes from one encounter or another that starts me thinking and synthesizing new thoughts, merging the new with prior knowledge.

My posts are intended to be easy to read and follow, but often this comes at the cost of less detail. Where appropriate, I’ll include reference to other, often longer posts, for those who want that additional detail. If ever you find you need more information, please don’t hesitate to ask or post a reply.

My post topics will vary with what I’ve found interesting, but I’ll try to stick with the theme of this site as much as possible: workplace learning.

About Me

For almost fifteen years, I’ve been developing learning strategies, educational products, and instructional designs for the Learning Systems Center of The Aerospace Institute, the educational division of The Aerospace Corporation. I also facilitate learning public speaking and communication skills in the classroom and increasingly online using social media.

I earned my Ph.D. from Wesleyan University in Middletown, Connecticut, and my B.S. from the University of California at Riverside.

All views expressed are my own and not those of my employer.

As always, thanks for visiting! @tomspiglanin
