Small – when you’re trying to do something at scale. When you have one learning technologist in a department… another in another department… another in another… and there are no natural connections between their working days. It can make dealing with ‘big’ very difficult. Especially when people are stuck for time and resource. So… how to deal with this?Photo Credit: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/47482261@N00/2718111196/">j.hietter</a> via <a href="http://compfight.com">Compfight</a> <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.0/">cc</a>
