Inappropriate usage?

Clark Quinn

A few days ago, my colleague Jay Cross wrote a post on plagiarism , dealing with the fact that some of his work (even an example of some of our collaborative work) was being used without attribution. He preceded me in the use of Creative Commons licensing, but from his example (and Harold Jarche), I placed a BY – NC – SA license in the side bar.

Top 10 Tools for Learning

Clark Quinn

Among the many things my colleague Jane Hard does for our community is to compile the Top 100 Tools for learning each year. I think it’s a very interesting exercise, showing how we ourselves learn, and the fact that it’s been going on for a number of years provides interesting insight. Here are my tools, in no particular order: WordPress is how I host and write this Learnlets blog, thinking out loud.

Learning Design isn’t for the wimpy

Clark Quinn

I’ve had my head down on a major project, a bunch of upcoming speaking engagements, some writing I’ve agreed to do, and…(hence the relative paucity of blog posts). That project, however, has been interesting for a variety of reasons, and one really is worth sharing: ID isn’t easy. We’ve been given some content, and it’s not just about being good little IDs and taking what they give us and designing instruction from it.

Transcending Experience Design

Clark Quinn

Last week’s #lrnchat touched on an important topic, experience design. I’ve talked about this before , but it’s worth taking several different cuts through it. The one I want to pursue here is the notion of transformative experience design. A number of years ago, now, Pine & Gilmore released a book talking about an Experience Economy.

Mobile tradeoffs

Clark Quinn

A mobile solution is not about the right answer, it’s about the right answer for you. You need to understand the tradeoffs involved in deciding how you’re going to go about creating a mobile solution. Case in point: what’s your development platform? It’s easy to say “we need to develop an app” (aka ‘there’s an app for that’).
