The research described in the article has used Twitter discover the places where students learn. Instead of answering the question “what are you doing?&# , serveral students were asked to share where they were learning. think this is a real nice method of data collection becasue it is real easy to publish tweets at the same time that the action is performed. tools in a very productive way | LEARNING IN A SANDBOX NOVEMBER 19, 2009 New paper on leveraging social learning technologies Over the last time, I’ve been working on the startup of a new research project. I’m doing this together with Robin Yap from Toronto, Canada. We’ve met two years ago during an AHRD conference in Oxford and stayed in touch ever since (off course through the use of web technologies). The research we are working on concerns the issues that we have encountered as (organizational) learning consultants which is the often technology centered focus during implementations of social web technologies. We would appreciate your feedback on this research in progress. | | | | | |
| LEARNING IN A SANDBOX DECEMBER 18, 2009 Employee development and motivation Managers and L&D officers increasingly tell me they need for employees to make themselves responsible for their own learning and development process. One of the ways to help employees to gain insight in their learning process and to make it visible to their managers is by using e-portfolio’s. Especially when you look at e-portfolio’s from a reflective and development perspective. Weblogs can help employees in this process of reflection. For the past couple of weeks i’ve had regular web-meetings with Jeffrey Keefer on this subject. | LEARNING IN A SANDBOX NOVEMBER 4, 2009  Horse assisted coaching This week I’ve participated in a horse assisted coaching session. In this session, the horse is used as reflectional instrument. This experience was absolutely breathtaking for me. Horses are just so pure and they reflect the participant’s (unconscious) behavior in a way that cannot be denied. So how does this work? suspect to be remembering about this for a very long time. | LEARNING IN A SANDBOX NOVEMBER 17, 2009 Cloudworks from a CoP perspective Yesterday i attended the virtual fieldtrip from the CP Square community which was on the Cloudworks initiative. Grainne Conole , as “expedition leader&# gave us a tour around the isle of cloudworks. Yeah, really tropical :), as Cloudworks was described as: “an island for sharing, discussing & finding learning and teaching ideas and designs.&#. The sharing of teaching ideas and designs is the site’s strategy, therefore the site functions as a big hub of lots of emergent CoP’s evolving around the shared interest in teaching and learning design. Aggregating resources. | LEARNING IN A SANDBOX OCTOBER 30, 2009  Open access gains more attention This week, the NWO (the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Researched), reported that they are going to actively promote open access of scientific publications. They want all publications to be available for all public via the internet. One of the arguments for this is that science on universities in Holland is funded with government support and therefore its results belong to the public. | | | | | | | |

LEARNING IN A SANDBOX | MONDAY, DECEMBER 14, 2009  #oeb2009: Relate to business goals for learning to have impact
It has been a week now since I was in Berlin at the Online Educa (#oeb2009). Prior to the conference I said in another post that I would experiment with using Mindmeister as a LIVE online mindmap tool. wanted to experiment with new ways to create notes and instantly share and connect with others through that. Well, in the end, Online Educa didn’t seem to be that online at all. Connections mostly were real slow or not available (eg. when attending a session across the street). Therefore at times I needed to get my little paper-notebook and completed my mindmap back home. Main theme. MORE >> -
LEARNING IN A SANDBOX | THURSDAY, OCTOBER 22, 2009  Leadership in a cartoon
Yesterday i saw this great cartoon on TV in a documentary on the role of humor in communist Russia. We are looking at four different leaders, sitting in the train. When the train stops, they are facing the same problem but come with 4 different solutions. think it shows us in a stricking way the characteristics of these specific leaders, a great way to learn I would say! Also, a great movie to show during workshops about leadership. What you think? Enjoy watching MORE >> -
