E-LEARNING PROVOCATEUR FEBRUARY 3, 2013  The equation for change Guns don’t kill people. People do. It’s a well-worn saying that Americans in particular know only too well. And of course it’s technically correct. don’t fear a gun on the table, but I do fear someone might pick it up and pull the trigger. That’s why I don’t want a gun on the table. Like most extremism, however, it’s an absurd construct. branding? profit? | JAY CROSS FEBRUARY 3, 2013  danah boyd on teens and 21st century work danah boyd opened ASTD TechKnowledge 2013 with a keynote on teenagers, networks, and work in the 21st century. danah has been studying teenagers for a decade. She reminds me of Temple Grandin, the autistic horse whisperer who looks at the world from the animals’ perspective. boyd is an anthropologist who knows teenagers better than they know themselves. Organizations. Computers were slow. agree. | | GEORGE SIEMENS FEBRUARY 3, 2013 Negating the learner in the learning process Yesterday, a Coursera course was closed after the first week of delivery. 40,000 students were left somewhat confused. posted a few thoughts on this on our xeducation site. The interesting stuff is in the comments and that’s what I’d like to emphasize here. Sarah Pravitra states: Wish they could at least have left the forums open for a limited period so we could have grabbed our group members, found a new tribe home elsewhere to keep talking and working together and been able to share [o]ur whereabouts with other groups. have never worked so hard in my life. Up till 4am every night. | | | | | | | |

I CAME, I SAW, I LEARNED | SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 2013 Quiz Design: Recognizing Types of Learning
by Jennie Ruby Many of us start writing a quiz when we are sitting in front of our quiz-making software, and the software asks us whether we want a multiple-choice question or a true/false. We then go on instinct to make up a question that we feel relates to the topic just covered in the training. But this method, although it will arrive at a functional quiz that our learner can click through, may not be accurately doing what a quiz should do. And what should a quiz do?

 Learning subverts business entropy
When Harold Jarche says work is learning and learning is the work , I think he’s suggesting that for a business to thrive, it must place learning at the heart of everything it does. Purposeful learning. Learning that is not “training” as we have visioned it up till now. Any training that is disconnected from the people is not sufficient. Learning that is not about the work is not sufficient. Real 21st century learning must change how we think, behave and interact with each other, as well as what we know. It must be relevant to purpose, activity and relationships. SocialBusiness SocialLearning MORE >> -

MOODLE JOURNAL | SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 2013  BETT Show 2013
Made my way to the BETT show and first time at Excel center for me anyway, even bumped into a couple of people I knew there, had a catch-up, always good. great deal to see in a day, and I was impressed by the turn out of resources particularly for robotics and science, very impressive, very encouraging. For my own part working as I do with the Moodle, it was a little disappointing to see only one stand promoting the vle, though there were other vle systems on offer, so competition is good right. Bye for now and please feel free to comment on the show MORE >> -
