I look forward to the NTEN NTC (Nonprofit Technology Network's conference) every year. It's in Washington, DC March 17-19, although I'll be arriving in DC on the 16th for an NTEN Board Meeting. In fact, this year we have NTEN Organization membership so there will be four of us at the conference. I love it.

As a trainer and facilitator who works with nonprofit organizations and staffers, you have to be obsessed with learning theory to design and deliver effective instruction, have productive meetings, or embark on your own self-directed learning path. I often incorporate sticky notes and often have to rearrange the furniture.

The NTEN project is an excellent learning laboratory for reflection and learning about this topic.

Make sure that your software's private messages facilitate a private response within the community itself. As silly as this sound, these messages are very effective at fostering community participation.
