Ask participants to list three interesting things about themselves. Two must be lies and one must be true. Childhood Dream. Three words. | | | | | | |
| JOITSKE HULSEBOSCH ELEARNING APRIL 6, 2012 Introducting social media in organisations to improve the learning function is more difficult than you may think. For some time now, I have an evaluation report of an organization that has experience with the introduction of social media (like wikis and blog) in the organization since 2009. The report is very interesting, because it shows that the actual practice of changing habits in organisations is very hard! They allowed me to blog about it and I think it has some valuable lessons like shape such a process as a real change trajectory (I'm personally convinced about this). The design of the project The initiative for the project came from the Research and Development department. enterprise2.0 | JOITSKE HULSEBOSCH ELEARNING AUGUST 30, 2012  Engaging course alumni using Facebook: the case of Ruforum The group began in 2009 through a need to track and engage alumni. It's been a bit quiet on this blog because I had a nice long summer holiday - with a trip to Cambodja with my family which was wonderful. We visited friends, rode tuktuks, bicycles and elephants and visited the famous temples around Siem Reap. Here you see us on the boat in Bangkok. RUFORUM has done this using Facebook. | JOITSKE HULSEBOSCH ELEARNING JUNE 15, 2009 Are your community's lurkers healthy lurkers? I facilitated a teleconference with Mirjam Neelen for CPsquare. Mirjam is doing a thesis on this topic and shared her literature research with us. It struck me how much more you dive into a topic if you have to facilitate it, you suddenly feel more responsible and really invest in the topic. I've blogged about lurking before , investigating whether lurking in online forums is a sort of legitimate peripheral participation that leads to people learning about the practices of a community of practice. What did I learn about lurking? First, most of all recognized that lurking can be very positive. | JOITSKE HULSEBOSCH ELEARNING JUNE 7, 2009  Follow the instructions or think for yourself? I found this cartoon on the blog of Marnix Catteeuw. If you can't read the text, you can go to his blog. It was originally posted on the xkcd blog. fell into the same trap when I was trying to locate a physiotherapist with google maps. thought it was handy that you can locate them on the map immediately. discovered later that the good old fat yellow pages had many more referrals than google maps. | | | | | | | |

 Any tool can do, culture matters
I'm writing blogging tips for a book we're writing and one of the tips is to create a rhythm of posting. had a good blogging rhythm but now I seem to loose it! So I need tips how to keep your rhythm. All the holidays in the Netherlands starting from queen's day on 30 april are definitely fun, but don't help me to keep into any rhythm. But let's try to stick to a weekly rhythm and blogging about a past experience still lingering in my head. What's really important is creating a culture of exchange. Or sometimes people have selected a tool and want to know how to tweek it. What was the example? MORE >> -
 Tips for facilitators in Ning
I've been exploring Ning a little further than I did and compared it to other forums like socialgo, collectivex and grou.ps. Gro.ups is open source, has a lot of similar functionalities to ning (and more- you can upload files easily) and is also without advertisements (for free!). The advantage of ning is that it is slightly more attractive in look and feel. Besides it is getting very popular. If people already worked with ning before, it might reduce the learning curve in learning your way around. few tips for ning administrators: 1. Public or private? Hosting on your own domain. If you pay 4.95 MORE >> - Grown up digital
I read the book 'Grown up digital' by Don Tapscott. was curious to understand more about the generational differences. I've definitely not grown up digital; I almost missed the introduction of digital technologies because I was living in a village in Mali that did not even have telephone or electricity. Often when I mention generational differences, people start whiping the issue under the carpet by refering to their grandma who is 86 and skypes with her daughter in Australia. So I do think there are differences. The Tapscott kids are not examplary for a whole generation. and what do I do??). MORE >> -
JOITSKE HULSEBOSCH ELEARNING | WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 21, 2009 Wiki as repository for a virtual community
Through a comment on a blogpost by Nancy White I found this article about a virtual community using a discussion list (listserv) in combination with a wiki. The wiki serves as a collaborative repository. You can access the article here if you want to read it in full. I've been advising a community where using an online discussion forum where few people had experience with a wiki. We started a wiki to put knowledge products together. So I'm a little jealous that the community in this article has such an active wiki process. But it does provide a clear picture of what's possible! MORE >> -
JOITSKE HULSEBOSCH ELEARNING | WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 21, 2009  Joitske Hulsebosch eLearning - Untitled Article
Via Nancy White I found his funny video talking about blogs versus wikis. It matches well with my previous post about an online community using a mailing list, with a wiki as a repository. Because I have experiences with an online community using a mailing list, teleconferences and a weblog as a repository. It could have been a wiki too. The choice between the two probably depends on personal preferences and experiences (do members have more experiences/habits of reading weblogs or working with wikis?). In the video, wikis are shown as more democratic. That might be a consideration too. MORE >>
