It's taking me a while to get back on track with regular blogging after an almost 4 months hiatus. Robert McCloskey Someone hailing from a culture that extols/practices collectivism might be more willing to see the commonalities in a forum thread discussion and respond to those, drawing together the collective ideas of the participants.

In this blog post, I am going to discuss why I think MOOCs are here to stay, and the impact they are likely to have on workplace learning and the way we learn. Creative and complex work requires dialogue and exchange of ideas. We can love it or hate it, but we can’t ignore it. Nor can we go back to a world where MOOCs didn’t exist.

IMHO, a MOOC is an evolving and dynamic learning and collaboration ecosystem that may encompass more than one technical platform and various modes of learning from short, byte-sized videos and e-learning capsules to user-generated content in the form of reference links, blog posts, discussion threads, and much more.

Rangaswami , in his blog The Confused of Calcutta , describes it thus: When a human curates, she does three things. The key here is to remember that each content piece is a social object around which conversations will evolve, further content will be generated and ideas surface. She selects something (or things) from a larger group.

The fundamental characteristics of individuals who formed these communities were their willingness to share their thoughts, view their ideas, express half-baked opinions and begin conversations - in short, working out loud or "showing their work". I blogged about Getting Started with Working Out Loud. Is there fear of ridicule?

Why Mobile Learning The strongest Value Proposition for mobile learning comes from connecting people with ideas, information, and each other—anytime, anywhere! and other collaboration tools like Wikis and blogging, will ensure that the need for “always-connected” mobile devices will continue to grow.

I was introduced to the work, ideas and blogs of most of the speakers via Twitter. I jotted these down as they occurred to me and have copied them here. Without edits. I wouldn't be attending this conference if it weren't for social media. What I have learned in the last 3 years have been completely via social media.

Brainstorming, adding to ideas, just randomly throwing ideas around such that one blends with another, and then thrashing them all out to come up with that gold nugget cannot happen if everyone involved is not in the same room. It's a great discussion topic and there is already a very thoughtful comment posted.

While this has been a momentous career shift for me, I may not have written a blog post on it except for the learning. As I mulled over these rather shocking, almost blasphemous, aspects of Agile, I thought it would be a good idea to pen down my thoughts and put them forth for inspection and feedback.

Working out loud ranges from specific, objective-driven collaboration (as in the case within project teams) to just sharing of thoughts and ideas with the wider social networks. SlideShare : Presentations are a great medium for visually capturing complex thoughts and ideas. When is it most useful to use SlideShare?

I have spent the last couple of months reading--reading and reflecting, scribbling random ideas in my tattered moleskine but not really blogging. My thoughts felt more scattered than usual.and I wondered if it had to do with the books I was reading.

And the scary part of "cherry picking" ideas and creating mash-ups from these were driven home once again. We are also wired to listen to and pick up those bits and pieces that are in synch with our ideas. I was reading Why “Talk” Culture Ruins Everything by Hugh McGuire this morning.

Distillation : Distillation is the act of curating information into a more simplistic format where onlythe most important or relevant ideas are shared. However, aggregation can be infused with greater depth as described in IsContent Curation the New Black … manyof the world's top websites and blogs are largely curation-based.
