TONY KARRER MARCH 5, 2008 Personal Learning Tools and Technologies I just saw a post by George Siemens discussing evolution of PLE concept and pointed me to two posts by Chris Lott based on his initial question - "What does your PLE look like?" - Tired of PLE Flak and I'm not interested in the PLE which then pointed me to a bunch of other posts as well - on the PLE and An audit on where stand with PLEs. Unfortunately, Chris got some flak based on his initial question. The problem is that the question is somewhat complex to answer for any individual and so not something to be done lightly. It's easy to list a set of tools. But, that doesn't get you very far. | CLARK QUINN SEPTEMBER 22, 2008 Examples of eLearning 2.0 During my presentation last Thursday that was an introduction to eLearning 2.0 as part of an online event for the eLearningGuild, I mentioned a few common ways that I've seen eLearning 2.0 approaches. In the past, I've only had a few people respond, but this time, there were so many responses I couldn't really read them and present. One thing I really like about the list is how tactical they are. always suggest people shouldn't try to come up with a big eLearning 2.0 strategy and worry about culture change, but should instead look for tactical implementations that just make sense. | CLIVE ON LEARNING AUGUST 28, 2008 Learning styles don't exist The debate was already red hot before this video by Professor Daniel T Willingham from the University of Virginia (brought to my attention by Stephen Downes ) added fuel to the fire. On the one side are the learning and development romantics, all voodoo and crystals, holding firm to their pseudo-psychological beliefs. On the other, the cold, clinical and calculating rationalists, trying to make sense of the multitude of interacting variables that impact on teaching and learning by resorting to the ultimate killjoy that is science. You can guess which side I'm on. | JAY CROSS'S INFORMAL LEARNING DECEMBER 17, 2008 Learning for the 21st Century Unprecedented changes in the role of the worker, the nature of business, the pace of innovation, the importance of intangibles, the explosion of information, and the shift from a manufacturing to a service economy have rendered traditional corporate learning obsolete. Jay Cross exposes the inadequacies of traditional learning and discusses a new paradigm for learning in the 21st Century. WHAT IS LEARNING? Learning is the process of figuring out how the world works. Learning develops new capacities, skills, values, understanding, and preferences. Organisms only stop learning when they die. | | | | | | | | | -

E-LEARNING PROVOCATEUR | SATURDAY, DECEMBER 27, 2008 Connectivism and the modern learner Recently, I read a blog article about connectivism by Debora Gallo. Soon after, I attended a presentation about m-learning by Jan Herrington, in which she too mentioned connectivism. This got me thinking… I don’t know anything about connectivism! So after several hours of unenlightened googling, I decided to bite the bullet, go back to first principles and read George Siemens’ seminal paper, Connectivism: A Learning Theory for the Digital Age. Theoretical foundations. According to Chaos Theory , everything is connected, as illustrated so eloquently by the Butterfly Effect. MORE >> -
ELEARNING ACUPUNCTURE | FRIDAY, MARCH 7, 2008 Nursing Simulation in Second Life If you want to be a nurse then you need to go to school. Many schools are using technological tools to delivery nursing education; especially in the area of nursing simulations. came across one particularly interesting example of this just today. John Miller, a Nursing Professor, at Tacoma Community College in Washington is spearheading a nursing simulation hosted within Second Life. He’s also working in collaboration with the nursing school at nearby Centralia Community College. Scenarios can be simulated which reproduce life-threatening conditions in a safe ‘virtual’ environment. Yikes! MORE >>
