L&D Connect I’m starting with the negative first… -ve: The energy use we don’t see and it’s impact on the planet 🌎 from data centres +ve: I can work from mostly anywhere, significantly broadened my network and projects I work on - reach #LDinsight

Sharon Green L&D Connect Did you know it saves a significant amount of energy when we switch our cameras off on Zoom etc? And do we really need to record and store that meeting/webinar? #LDinsight What do our meetings cost in CO2?

Russell clements Sharon Green Yup - see the work of Dr Itiel Dror on how tech is making us more stupid. Our brains are shrinking as a result #LDinsight

Good morning, and welcome to this week's #LDInsight chat. Breaking from the norm, we will not be discussing a topic related to L&D and OD as we have done for nearly 7 years. Instead we have something else about this chat we'd like to discuss.

We've reached a point with the weekly #LDInsight chat where we think it's time to stop this chat. It's not a decision we've come to lightly. The volunteers who run the chat have been discussing this for some weeks now.

It's not for a lack of topics, or for a lack of desire. But it is a commitment from our volunteers. This is likely to be the last #LDinsight chat. But we wanted the community to have a chance to have your say about this decision.

And for clarity, we're not stopping L&D Connect. We're just not sure what it needs to continue to be, and there's been no discussion on where it goes. But, #LDInsight chat itself is what we're discussing. We'll still likely run events of different sorts.

Thanks for being part of #LDInsight chat over the years. We've seen many volunteers step in and step away as needed. Looking back, we've had a good run in keeping the chat active since about 2016. Big appreciation and gratitude to all who've been involved.

And that's it for now. We appreciate your commitment to coming to the chat each week. Take care and be well. #LDInsight
