Special note from Ken Sinclair: The December issue is Automated Buildings’ AHRExpo 2015 Chicago preview. Editorial excerpt: “Our December theme ‘Creating your Collaboration’ started with my puzzling with the process of how industry knowledge gets past on. AHRExpo is the annual event where we present our free education sessions to the industry. This is our 16th year of presenting these sessions and hosting the third annual Connection Community Collaboratory meeting. Online Collaboration is how today’s education occurs.
Education is not an affair of “telling and being told” but an active process; I am a poor presenter but a good connector of concepts and resources for the active process. As a connector of concepts and resources I need to be questioned by those seeking knowledge to be of use. My value is not the knowledge that I can share, but the knowledge I can connect folks to so they can self-teach themselves their way. I am but a catalyst in the process of learning.
I am still struggling with the best way to transfer the industry dumps of information to incoming practitioners of our industry. We came to call this “The Dinosaur Dump” when we dropped 20 to 30 years of industry experience on some poor incoming practitioners who did not even ask one question…..smile.” Read complete editorial!
