| STOATLY DIFFERENT OCTOBER 11, 2009 Working Towards a Shared View of Quality One major issue that faces the E-Learning industry as we look to grow and consolidate is the issue of Quality. Ask two E-learning professionals for what amounts to “Quality” E-learning and you will probably get two very different responses. Broadly speaking, there are two views on Quality. The first is pedagogical. If a piece of E-Learning is pedagogically sound then some would argue the presentation of this information, so long as it’s usable, is largely irrelevant to the measure of Quality. Of course they would, it is at the heart of any universities core competence to know pedagogy. | STOATLY DIFFERENT NOVEMBER 12, 2009 Harnessing the Tipping Point to embed E-Learning in your organisation Embedding E-learning into your organisation is not just a technical problem, far from it. At its heart it’s a process of change; specifically a behavioural change in the way employees train and learn. Changing the behaviour of workers in your organisation is a notoriously difficult task. But it is a challenge you must be willing to take on if you really wish to evolve your company into one which embraces an E-learning culture. My MBA dissertation centred on the concept of the Tipping Point and behavioural change. Influencing the Influencers. Sticking the Message. Rewarding the Behaviour. | STOATLY DIFFERENT NOVEMBER 12, 2009 Your organisations next Facebook policy If at any time during your working day you find yourself with a free moment, it is company policy that you MUST logon to your favourite social network and have a play about. Do this until more work arrives. No exceptions. I’m getting increasingly frustrated by the attitudes of a wide-range of people when it comes to accessing websites like Facebook at work. Forgive me for incessantly saying Facebook – interchange it for your favourite social network if it makes you feel better – but it is the most popular. It’s a mindset, one of a previous generation. This sucks. Stop evaluating Web 2.0 | STOATLY DIFFERENT DECEMBER 15, 2009 A first crack at my abstract for ALT-C submission This year will be the first one which I aim to hit both conferences and journals in anger. ALT-C is a good place to start, not least because the closing deadline is soon! The theme of this years conference is “Into something rich and strange&# – making sense of the sea change. can’t help but feel that the whole nautical metaphor is somewhat let down by being held in Nottingham, but you can’t have it all! What I do have however is the results of a project that has been running for just over a year near, A.C.E. the Adaptive Case Engine. So what do you think? | | | | | | | |

STOATLY DIFFERENT | SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 2009 Put the Hammer down: The bottom line on why you should leave E-learning to the experts. | Ben Betts is.
It doesn’t seem to matter how many years tick by in this industry, by far and away the most common phone call I get is from companies looking to run E-learning pilots, or prototypes, or anything else in the “just getting started” framework. It’s not a criticism of the clients, far from it; I’m delighted to be the person who helps to mould the minds of newcomers to the E-learning genre, call me anytime! But doesn’t it strike you as odd, in an industry that’s now 15 years old, that everyone else is still getting started? This is quite a range. So: (94.5 hrs mean development time] / 7.5 MORE >>
