CLIVE ON LEARNING JULY 19, 2011 Knowing where to look is more valuable than knowing what According to an article in last Saturday's Guardian , research conducted at Columbia University and reported in Science Magazine shows just how much people have come to rely on the internet as 'an external memory source that we can access at any time'. In one experiment, participants were given pieces of information to type into a computer. Half were told the computer would retain the information and the other half were told it would be erased. Only those in the latter group attempted to memorise the material. The emphasis has shifted from knowing 'what' to knowing 'where to find it'. | SOCIAL LEARNING BLOG JULY 19, 2011  eLearning and Fun: Two Words Not Normally Seen Together Over at the Learning Circuits blog, the big question for July is “How do you make eLearning fun?&# They are not asking for much there, are they? It depends on the topic, the audience, the organization and a myriad of other considerations. If you are creating an eLearning course on interpersonal skills, then sure, it can and probably should be fun. Wrong, wrong and wrong. | DESIGNED FOR LEARNING JULY 19, 2011 Making Learning Fun! This month’s LCBQ is “How do you make e-learning fun?” I begin with a quote by British novelist, Arnold Bennett who said, "There can be no knowledge without emotion. We may be aware of a truth, yet until we have felt its force, it is not ours. To the cognition of the brain must be added the experience of the soul." I believe this quote sums up all the reasons why we should include emotions –. engaging fun elearning Design | MINDFLASH JULY 19, 2011  Create Your Own Twitter-Powered Personal Learning Network Sometimes creative ideas hide in the darkness, and we, as designers, can fall into a routine of producing the same types of designs that we always do, using the same formula, and the same process. This leads to ho-hum programs. Sometimes we need to inject something into the mix to get new ideas flowing. Last week, I was designing a class for new leaders. High bar to clear, I know.

ELEARNING ACUPUNCTURE | TUESDAY, JULY 19, 2011  Three ‘MUST HAVE” best practices in teaching online courses
If you came to read this posting to find a definitive list of best practices in teaching online courses, then please accept my apology. will not be compiling the large golden list of best practices in online teaching. Why you might ask? Well – because there is no definitive list.

Please describe one thing the instructor did that hindered your success in this course. That demonstrates how critical this item is to students. MORE >> -

The YouTube vid below provides an example as to information being provided at point of ‘assumed need’ to a specified individual.

LEARNING WITH E'S | TUESDAY, JULY 19, 2011  Breaking down fences
Seth Godin's blog is always good value, but his post today is quite profound. He writes about his avid reading of the entire collection of one library's science fiction stock during his high school days and concludes that "Expertise is a posture as much as it is a volume of knowledge". Expertise does not come easily. It takes hard work and a lot of tenacity to become expert at anything, whether it is sport, music, art or and other realm of knowledge or skill. Godin urges us to 'go deep' and to read everything we can on our chosen subject, and on the surface, this seems a no brainer. MORE >> -
