The Writers Gateway

This post is in response to the Big Question December 2009 – What did you learn about learning in 2009?

I guess this year I learnt much more than last year. Let me quickly list some highlights here:

• I have written better quality articles.
• I have gained good instructional designing and technical writing skills.
• I learnt microblogging through Twitter.
• The Instructional Designers Community of India was formed this year and I got the opportunity to organize learning sessions . I must say I was able to network with a lot of learning professionals through the community. I also gained a lot from these learning sessions.

This year has also been very special because The Writers Gateway got featured in eLearning Learning and my post got listed in the Top 125 Workplace Elearning Posts .

Also people have come to this blog  and left Thank you messages for the kind of help they found here. This is really exciting and encouraging
