The content committee will facilitate a card-sorting exercise at our upcoming all-staff retreat. Have a taxonomy horror story? 3) Content—this committee is both backwards-looking (performing an audit of our current content) and forward-looking (sculpting a new content strategy).

A conversational panel or keynote does some blending of learning modalities – it includes some content-delivery and structured small group and full group conversations. There is a lead facilitator – in the panel or keynote model – it’s the Oprah with the mic. How did that relate to the learning objectives?

Early in the life of this blog, I stumbled into a taxonomy of how social platforms work that I call the hierarchy of participation.
