| | E-LEARNING ACADEMY FEBRUARY 9, 2013  What is E-Learning? Recently one of my colleagues, and a new LMS end user, had a confusing exchange. The end user was looking for an e-learning course on a topic that my colleague didn’t have available online. The user was adamant that it was online. After some clever questioning, everyone began to realise the user’s perception of the LMS [.].

This evening, while watching The Incredibles, I realized that one of my favorite characters in any movie ever gives the design consultation that most of us need to give a little more often. It hit me right as Mr. Incredible says, “Isn’t that my decision?” ” – a line I had never even noticed before. Let’s watch. This is the essence of design for me. | | | | | | | |

LEARNING WITH E'S | SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 2013  Three things
There are three things we need to know about learning for this generation. The first is that learning needs to be personalised. As I argued in a previous post , learning must be differentiated, because one size does not fit all, and standardised curricula and testing are not fit for purpose in the 21st Century. Personal learning is unique to each learner. The tools and devices students choose, and the pathways they decide to take are in many ways beginning to challenge the synchronised and homogenised approaches we still practice in schools, universities and organisations.

LEARNING WITH E'S | SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 2013  Being Negroponte
'Learning when there is no school' In 1995 I read a little black paperback book that changed my view on the world. The title of the book was ' Being Digital ' and the author was Nicholas Negroponte. Several key elements of Negroponte's book stood out for me and challenged my thinking. Firstly, he talks of a time when all media will be transformed from atoms into bits. This premise, written in the middle of the 90s, looked forwards to a time when newspapers, movies, music, television, photography, and a host of other media would reside exclusively within the digital domain.

VISUAL LOUNGE | SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 2013  What would you do w/ PDF import and Ask3?
This week, we asked our Ask3 users what was important about Ask3 and how satisfied they were with it. Here’s what we peek behind the curtain: We also found out in the survey that their was a strong desire for the ability to import PDF’s. Now, I’m just old enough to know of the trouble that I get in when I assume things. So, help me out! In your opinion, are the desire for better image importing and the ability to import PDFs related? Do they represent different needs and jobs-to-be-done in your class? Would love any and all insights. Thanks in advance! For Educators MORE >> -
