Learning in an Always-Connected World
People are more connected than ever, communicating and receiving information increasingly in non-traditional ways. The typical 21-year-old has sent or received 250,000 instant messages and spent an average of 3,500 hours online.

Before we can develop learning for mobile phones, however, we must be aware of the issues - and opportunities - inherent in their diversity of hardware and software platforms.

The fiscal 2011 budget proposal identifies several high-priority goals for the Office of Personnel Management over the next two years. Those goals include recruiting and hiring a top-notch federal workforce, implementing a human resources dashboard to gauge employee satisfaction, expanding telework programs, and implementing new wellness programs -- all of which are of extreme importance because of coming projected retirements.
