| Page 1 of 1 | Previous | Next | DESIGNED FOR LEARNING AUGUST 3, 2010 Top 10 Resources on Instructional Design: Basics and More I recently read a blog post by Janet Clarey highlighting the need to go back to the basics. These 'basics' are different for everyone. But like all subjects and bodies of knowledge, there are a few foundational concepts that have been identified and acknowledged as such. Without knowing and understanding these basics, we can't claim to be successfully practicing our subject - the subject of instructional design. No sooner did I tell Janet that I'd like to contribute to an elearning site on the basics, I encountered a query ( not the first ). Trust me, you will keep coming back to this resource. | DESIGNED FOR LEARNING FEBRUARY 22, 2011 What Children Can Teach Us About Learning I am always inspired by the following quote by Thomas Szasz, an American psychiatrist and academic: "Every act of conscious learning requires the willingness to suffer an injury to one’s self-esteem. That is why young children, before they are aware of their own self-importance, learn so easily; and why older persons, especially if vain or important, cannot learn at all.".

| DESIGNED FOR LEARNING MARCH 20, 2011 Assessing Informal Learning For March the LCBQ is: How do you assess whether your informal learning, social learning, continuous learning, performance support initiatives have the desired impact or achieve the desired results? My response to the question – I think we should assess informal learning but I don't think I want to asses informal learning using the same set of parameters often used for formal learning. Need to. evaluation social networking informal evaluate blended learning assessing assess | DESIGNED FOR LEARNING OCTOBER 31, 2009  Transfer of Learning - Theories and Implications Transfer of learning is the goal of all training and learning interventions. We know that the often the learning context is different from the context of real-life application. However, the training objective is not achieved until the learning transfers from one to context to another. So, what is it that makes learning 'stick' and allows learners to use the learning immediately and in the future? | DESIGNED FOR LEARNING DECEMBER 12, 2011 Why Do We Need to Assess? My Top 5 Reasons A couple of weeks ago, I read an article about why schools in Finland are successful. There There was one sentence in this article that really stuck with me. We prepare children to learn how to learn, not how to take a test.” - Pasi Sahlberg, a former math and physics teacher who is now in Finland’s Ministry of Education and Culture. think this sentence captures the essence of why we should. performance learning assessing assess | DESIGNED FOR LEARNING APRIL 26, 2010 Make it Blended! Blended learning is not a new thing. It is not a radical concept. It is not a new-age way of thinking about learning. As Elliott Masie puts it: “We are, as a species, blended learners.” So, the blend existed much before we understood and (re)defined it. What does blended learning mean? There are many definitions of blended learning. Some focus on the technology (aka Internet) and others focus on the theories to be blended. For yet others, a blend is all about the media – combination of instructor-led and elearning. This can mean also blending methods, techniques or resources and applying them. | | | | | | | |

DESIGNED FOR LEARNING | TUESDAY, JULY 19, 2011 Making Learning Fun!
This month’s LCBQ is “How do you make e-learning fun?” I begin with a quote by British novelist, Arnold Bennett who said, "There can be no knowledge without emotion. We may be aware of a truth, yet until we have felt its force, it is not ours. To the cognition of the brain must be added the experience of the soul." I believe this quote sums up all the reasons why we should include emotions –. engaging fun elearning Design MORE >> -
DESIGNED FOR LEARNING | SATURDAY, MARCH 20, 2010 The Science and Art of Giving and Receiving Feedback
We cannot underestimate the value of feedback. Feedback is an important aspect of building a constructive relationship - personal and professional. It is an invitation to interact. It can help improve our performance and change our behaviour. It can help us become self-aware and also allow us to help others discover themselves. Most of us know and understand the importance of feedback. But when it is time to give or receive it; we are not at our comfortable best. can assure you, it is not easy and it does not come naturally. Remember, feedback is not an annual process!

DESIGNED FOR LEARNING | SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 2010 Online Success - a recipe for learners and facilitators
The benefits of online learning have been long established in the learning industry. To add to the changing learning landscape, technology has helped support and develop online learning environments in ways that were not possible in the past.

DESIGNED FOR LEARNING | WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 19, 2011 Learning Through Stories
My father has told me countless stories and continues to be a good storyteller. Whether it is to share his opinion or advice or just generally talk about his experiences, he has always kept a story ready! First it was us, and now it is his grandchildren.
