This distinction is important. Combat-Readiness. High Potential. | AARON SILVERS NOVEMBER 17, 2011 Steer into the Fear I’ve had a remarkable couple of weeks starting with DevLearn 2011. I’ve had the opportunity to dwell at length with my heroes in the eLearning community. The response from hundreds of attendees at DevLearn to the causes I’ve championed, namely the revolution needed in learning technologies, has been humbling and validating as it became clear that not only do so many get what I’ve been talking about with things like Activity Streams, but that the organization I’ve come to represent is truly on the path to meeting the needs of the broader community. I’m scared. | | | | | | | AARON SILVERS OCTOBER 23, 2011 Takeaways from #SketchCamp Chicago Earlier last week, I found out that there was a SketchCamp hitting Chicago. It was $25 for the day at a local design shop, GravityTank , and it was a good investment of my time (and money). chase after opportunities to draw and use other tools in the toolbelt after a very good (but very packed) two months of work behind the computer and on the phone for The Learning Registry. What I Learned. | AARON SILVERS SEPTEMBER 12, 2010 SCORM Versions, Supported vs. Employed This chart compares two sets of results from the ADL User Community Survey.

Companies like SAP and Oracle have offered such end-to-end solutions for years now, and the largest supply chain organizations in the world have already bought-in. Supply chain organizations concern themselves with sourcing products from all over the world to get anywhere else in the world.

AARON SILVERS | THURSDAY, DECEMBER 29, 2011 Learning Registry Plugfest 2 A few weeks ago, the second Learning Registry Plugfest took place at the National Science Digital Library (NSDL) headquarters in Boulder, Colorado. Over the course of two days the community gathered together, worked across organizations (and technologies) and surfaced some critically important questions and ideas the will drive the next wave of development for the Learning Registry (@learningreg).

AARON SILVERS | MONDAY, OCTOBER 18, 2010 Design, Empathy and Community "This is Service Design Thinking" by geschenkt. I’ve been playing with this notion in my head over the last couple of weeks that while it’s clear that there are digital literacy skills needed, there seems to be little progress made on what those literacy skills look like. I spent the day at the Chicago Children’s Museum thinking about this, watching my 6- and 2-year-olds run around, play, build, destroy, invent, pretend, etc. took lots of pictures with my iPhone and a variety of apps to do more than capture a stock picture with the iPhone. do it, too.

AARON SILVERS | MONDAY, JULY 2, 2012 July Fourth (#JFDid) Nine years ago on Wednesday, I received a phone call that changed my life. was laid off two months after my eLearning startup folded in 2003, mostly because our clients went to SCORM LMSs and we couldn’t figure out how to adopt. On the Fourth of July, 2003, I got a call asking if I’d be interested in working on SCORM for the US Department of Defense. went for it, and that put me on the path I’m on today. It’s nine years later, and after an action-packed 2012 thus far, I feel REALLY good. Welcome to the catch-up post. It’s been a really excellent six months. MORE >> -
AARON SILVERS | MONDAY, JANUARY 3, 2011 How can e-Learning, or computer based training, be more effective? [Quora] The question expanded was the following: “Most of the people that I’ve met are not happy with eLearning / CBT applications. The only time an employee goes online is when something is mandated for appraisal, and that’s true especially for IT/Software companies. Any guesses why? How can eLearning, something that has been touted as a saviour, be really made somewhat and/or more effective?” ” In my opinion, E-Learning, as a means for making educational resources accessible to learners, is still ripe with promise. ” This distinction is important.

AARON SILVERS | TUESDAY, MARCH 19, 2013 How Unconferences Work Over the past year with two gatherings for Up to All of Us , we’ve continued to make the time in each excursion to build a common language we can all speak which helps set the expectations that we’re here to make ideas better and shared… not to cut them down. One can argue a lot about how to make ideas actionable and the filtering that inevitably comes from that — that’s not what our time together is for.
