STOATLY DIFFERENT OCTOBER 25, 2011 The Ubiquity of Informal Learning: Beyond the 70/20/10 Model This post first appeared at Learning Solutions Magazine. So I’ve had a bit of a bugbear for a while and I’m starting to feel that I’m not alone. It’s 70/20/10, the oft-quoted model from which we derive that the majority of learning happens from on the job experience, as opposed to learning from peers or in a formal learning environment. That’s not to say that I think the importance we give to informal learning is wrong, far from it. It is more that I think we’ve got the wrong model at the heart of the movement. Where’s the research? Learning Styles “seemed to fit.” was doing it wrong. | TAKE AN E-LEARNING BREAK OCTOBER 25, 2011 View and show PPTs on iPAD via free app SlideSharkis a free app that allows mobile professionals & educators to view and showPowerPoint ® presentations on the iPad ®. If you're an iPad user, you may have noticed that there isn't a PowerPoint orMicrosoft ® Office app for viewingPowerPoint files available in the App Store. In their absence, mobileprofessionals & educators have had to come up with "workarounds"that end up falling short. With SlideShark, you can easily and reliably convert PowerPoint into ahigh fidelity iPad-optimized format that keeps animations, fonts, colors, andgraphics intact. | CLARK QUINN OCTOBER 25, 2011  Thinking Strategy, Pt.1 I’ve been involved in a lot of strategic thinking lately, both for clients and workshops (e.g. my mobile strategy workshop at DevLearn next week), and so it’s forced me to reflect on what strategy is. I’ve previously talked about the technology components of an elearning strategy, and how they tie together, but I’ve need to take another cut at it. It goes further, of course. | ELEARNING BROTHERS OCTOBER 25, 2011  Show PowerPoint on the iPad for Free SlideShark is a great (free) way to view PowerPoint presentations on the iPad. All you need to do is upload your PPT to a secure online account and they’ll convert it. You then use the SlideShark app to download and view your new presentation. All fonts and graphics are retained. Colors remain the same. Your animations still work. You can also swipe up to reveal a list of your slides. | | | | | | | |

IGNATIA WEBS | TUESDAY, OCTOBER 25, 2011  Steven Verjans shows a structured #PLE at #studiedagVlhora
Personal Learning Environments (PLE) have been hot news for a couple of years now. And with the proliferation of all things social media, they have become a highly personalized and very functional application for any knowledge worker. PLE will enable you to work more focused, keep an overview of all the information that comprises your knowledge and be able to share with others whenever needed. My PLE is not very well structured to say the least, in fact chaos is my middle name when it comes to PLE. Luckily, I met Steven Verjans earlier this week during the Vlhora studiedag. MORE >> -
GOOD PRACTICE | TUESDAY, OCTOBER 25, 2011  The Learning Explosion – Nigel Paine
I’ve known Nigel for about ten years and love the clarity of his thinking on learning so I recently asked him to record a video for an ASTD UK event to set the scene on the future of learning. This is what he came up with and it’s worth ten minutes of your time to watch Nigel place learning at the heart of the 21st century organisation, but only if it is focused on behaviours. He argues, this will lead to an explosion of learning that will have a profound impact on productivity and organisational performance. couldn’t agree more. MORE >> -
IGNATIA WEBS | TUESDAY, OCTOBER 25, 2011  Stephen @Downes at Flemish parliament talking about free learning
Stephen Downes is one of the key knowledge persons in my learning network. He has a wonderful information harvester ( gRSShopper , which I am going to integrate as soon as I get it running - almost there and I will gladly share it once it is up and running). Stephen sticks to the principle of open / free learning and. he builds his own path in life (a very tough path to walk on). To me Stephen Downes is to learning what Henry Rollins is to music, they simply to their thing and if you don't like. so what. Great spirit. And it was enlightening. well, strange beliefs make good dreamers. MORE >> -
DONT WASTE YOUR TIME | TUESDAY, OCTOBER 25, 2011  eBook and eReaders (Infographic) #eBook #eReader
I really ought to find somewhere else to publish all these posts and ideas on eBooks, but considering I think they are a ‘considerable’ part of the future of eLearning then they’ll stay here for the moment. This infographic is, like most are, based on facts and figures from the US but still holds some interesting numbers, if you look for them: 7% shift towards using an eReader between 2010 and 2011. in 6 will use or buy an eReader in the next 6 months (that’s an estimated 53 million Units for an estimated 312 million Americans ).

ICS LEARNING GROUP | TUESDAY, OCTOBER 25, 2011 Flash Player 11 System Requirements and Debugging
As we continue to work with the latest Flash Player (11.x) and it’s new “Stage3D” features, moving toward even more interactive eLearning content, a couple things we’ve found we want to share: Despite some suggestions that Flash Player 11 only works with DirectX 10 and above, and thus may not work on XP systems, FP11 does indeed work just fine under Windows XP and the last supported version of Dx for that OS (“9.0c”, or v.9.29.1974). However, in order to allow Flash Player 11 to access your GPU, you must have fairly recent video card drivers that support DirectX 9c, at minimum. MORE >>
