#DevLearn retrospective: Start dreaming about the future of eLearning

Challenge to Learn

This year more than ever DevLearn addressed the future of eLearning. The message from the keynote by John Landau was that imagination precedes the technique. The stories in movies like Titanic and Avatar were impossible to realize with the techniques available at the time the stories were written. So they created the techniques in order to be able to create the movies.

This morning I stumbled upon an excellent report ‘ Learning & Education in the Networked Society ’ on the Thinking Ahead section of Ericsson’s website.

I particularly liked some of the thoughts expressed in the video which I reproduce below (may not be the exact words though).

Want to help someone learn? Have them assume a role.

Note: Some of these thoughts are based on a paper by John Rice, a school technology director in Texas. John has spent several years researching instructional gaming and his doctoral dissertation focuses on predictors for student success in educational video games. Since 2007, he has chronicled research in the field on his blog at edugamesresearch.com , presented at major conferences on the topic, and has written several intriguing papers including the paper “Assessing Higher Order Thinking

Experience, the API

Clark Quinn

Last week I was on a panel about the API previously known as Tin Can at #DevLearn, and some thoughts crystallized. Touted as the successor to SCORM, it’s ridiculously simple: Subject Verb Object: e.g. “I did this”, such as ‘John Doe read Engaging Learning’ but also ‘Jane Doe took this picture’ And this has interesting implications.

The Four Stages of Mobile Maturity

Upside Learning

After posing some questions about what constitutes a mobile learning ecosystem , I’ve continued working towards a model that can describe a mobile learning ecosystem, a task far harder than initially imagined. As has been discussed endlessly on our blog before, the future of learning is mobile. One interesting aspect I’ve noticed from my research is that organizations move on an evolutionary path as they mature in their adoption of mobile technologies that impact learning significantly.

Philanthropy, Learning, and Change-Making

The Performance Improvement Blog

The recent U.S. election reminded us on a daily basis of all the serious problems we face as a nation.

It’s just not that simple. As Baldoni writes in his Forbes blog post , “Post-Election: Now What?

Five key questions when buying e-learning

From the Coleface

For many years I’ve designed practical e-learning to help explain the tricky technical intricacies of CPD topics to accountants. I thought I’d flip this around to invest some time demystifying the tricky technical intricacies of e-learning for accountants. The difference between good e-learning and bad e-learning often comes down to decisions made early in the purchasing process so this means knowing what questions to ask (and what the replies really mean).
