One of the two posts opened with this statement: “The appetite of our employees is not the same therefore, we must not provide them the same bland food (for thought).” Most importantly, the definition for Engaging is “A program journey can be spaced enough that combats forgetting curve.” ” That is spacing!

The claim was that if you trusted to human sensing, you’d be only able to track what’s become common knowledge, and that doesn’t provide the necessary competitive advantage. And I’m thinking that market analytics aren’t going to find the new, because by definition no one knows that to look for yet.

How is this definitional? Provide social connection tools. You’re providing decent advice (er, mostly ), but doing so through a myth-perpetuating framing. Secretly social : (wth?) they share, but with control. As do most astute folks beyond high school. Diverse : er, yes, so’s the whole US. Include them.

I finished with a 3 hour strategy session where I walked people through each element of the ecosystem (as I cut it), giving them examples, providing self-assessment, and items to add to their strategy for that element. It’s definitely time for thoughts on strategy. Useful feedback. . Here’s to a growing trend!

A group project could provide a documented solution, or a concept-expression video or performance. Still, I’m trying to carry it to more places, and help provide ways to think anew about instruction and formal education. But that’s definitely not where I’m going right now. No digital tech involved.

This book provides a nice complement to Julie’s, focusing on straight facts about how we process the world. There are some really definitive books that people who design for people need to have read or have to hand. While it’s written for UI designers mostly, it’s extremely relevant to learning design as well.

However, such questions don’t ask learners to identify definitions or the like (simple recognition), but instead put learners in contextual situations. When you do so, you can provide an immersive experience. It would minimize the likelihood of guessing, and provide a richer basis for diagnosis and feedback.

Video (as opposed to animation or images or graphics, and similar to photos) is about showing how things happen in situ (I note that this is my distinction, and they may well include animation in their definition of video, caveat emptor ). Performance support is about providing a cognitive augment. So, mobile is a platform.

The point, of course, is that all these reasons not to change provide a significant barrier to success.

Getting the models is hard when the resources provided don’t include that information. Avoiding presenting just knowledge and definitions is hard work. I’m trying hard to avoid arbitrary categorizations, and find the principles that drove those categorizations. Note that all this is not easy.

His definition sounded like alternate reality, as in alternate reality games. At core, to me, it’s about providing either deep practice or information at the ‘teachable moment’ Both are doable and valuable. And I could be wrong. Another aspect is of interest to me, too. And these could be learning experiences too.

This suggests that we should be looking much more at contextual performance support and providing models, saving formal learning for cases when we really need a significant shift in our understanding and how that plays out in practice. We need bottom-up contributions and support, not top-down imposition of policies and rigid definitions.

The transparency provides real value in developing trust among the constituencies.

There’s been a lot of talk about microlearning of late – definitions , calls for clarity , value propositions, etc – and I have to say that I’m afraid some of it (not what I’ve linked to) is a wee bit facile. When do you provide more practice, versus another example, versus a different model?

It’s worth breaking down the problems, both to sensitize you to the potential problems, and provide some guidance about what’s right.

I don’t think this is my definitive answer, but it’s worth wrestling with (learning out loud and all that). When we’ve got that capability, we have a market to provide more meaningful experiences to learners. This is something I’ve been thinking about, and some thoughts coalesced as I answered.

I think Ruth Clark’s provides a great service in presenting what the research says on elearning, starting with her highly recommended book eLearning and the Science of Instruction. What’s more insidious, as Koreen Olbrish points out in her comment, is that the definition of learning is open. The evidence is there.

In performance support, this is a huge opportunity: providing location specific information (about this device, or this client), or event-based support (providing a quick reference sheet for a negotiation, having a reflection session afterward). Contextualization, on the other hand, is much more specific.

In thinking about the benefits of adding social to formal learning for a presentation I’ll be giving, I realized that the main reason to extend social activities into formal learning is for the additional processing it provides. While there is processing individually, social interaction provides more opportunities.

That is, some studies showed positive effects, and some showed negative, but across the body of studies suitably rigorous to be worth evaluating, there was no evidence that trying to adapt learning to learner characteristics had a definitive impact. Then, if the learner has trouble with that approach, provide help.

I think that, before we completely abandon the LMS (and that’s not necessarily what they advocate), we should examine the key capabilities an LMS provides and determine whether that role can be taken up elsewhere or how it can manifest in the broader system.

While the for-profit schools are providing competition to drive more market-focused courses, the time taken to get a program approved, and an institution accredited, provide barriers to being truly market-driven.
