CLIVE ON LEARNING APRIL 19, 2012 Why face-to-face should be for special occasions Like most people, I listen to quite a bit of music, but only very occasionally do I go to a live gig or concert; I watch a considerable amount of drama (most of it mysteries and thrillers I’m afraid), but this is on TV, only very rarely at the theatre; and I watch my fair share of sport, mostly on TV but (here’s where I break the pattern), also quite regularly at the Amex stadium in Brighton. The live events I have attended in my life are, in many cases, peak moments of high emotional engagement that I will never forget. The rest is just passing the time enjoyably. | THE LEARNING CIRCUITS BLOG APRIL 19, 2012 Creating a Measurement Model In the first two posts in this series, we discussed the value of data and the process for using the theory of change model for learning design. This week, we’ll walk through creating a measurement model for a fictional company, Acme Donuts. As you work through the learning initiative design process, the key challenge is to balance strategy with tactics: Connecting specific actions that accomplish high level goals. The Theory of Change model, which starts with broad goals and asks you to work backwards to specific actions, forces you to make the connections between each step clear. Acme, Inc. | ELEARNING 24-7 APRIL 19, 2012 E-Learning 101 This post is dedicated to my father, Frank J. Weiss, who passed away on 4-7-12. He often found it difficult to explain to others what I did and more importantly, what is e-learning. Isn’t wasn’t because he wasn’t smart – he was. Part of the reason was, he wasn’t tech savvy although he was willing to take it for a drive. think a lot of people in our space are like my Dad. Wake Up! The reality of e-learning is that ambiguity still plays a big role in the space. The challenges are two-fold. New systems, terms and information. The end result? The main term. Systems. | IGNATIA WEBS APRIL 19, 2012  #ict4d challenges to deliver sustainable #mLearning in developing regions In a previous post I linked to a presentation by John Traxler , focusing on the discrepancy between current mLearning projects constructed by the mLearning research community that are often lacking rigorous evaluation and sustainable options, and the mobile corporate world pushing for scalable, sustainable mobile projects that are based on pragmatic, transparent facts. and so on. | | | | | | | |

TOPYX SOCIAL LEARNING | THURSDAY, APRIL 19, 2012  25 Good #Hashtags to Know

Hashtags, or known as ‘#’, are used in tweets to help group relevant information together.

GEORGE SIEMENS | THURSDAY, APRIL 19, 2012  Remaking education in the image of our desires
The current generation of students will witness the remaking of our education system. Change is happening on many fronts: economic, technological, paradigmatic, social, and the natural cycles of change that occur in complex social/technical systems. People have attempted to define change principles: Christensen’s disruptive innovation , Schumpeter’s creative destruction , Kuhn’s revolution structures , Paul A. David’s model of long systemic change , and (my personal favorite) Carlota Perez’ techno-economic revolutions. Education faces enormous pressure. Many (most?) MORE >> -
 Using social media for onboarding
Last year, I looked at new hire practices and found some interesting methods: Ensuring new hires understand the shadow or informal part of the organization through the use of tools such as network maps (Jon Katzenbach, Senior Partner of Booz & Company, author of The Wisdom of Teams). Pairing with another worker or even tripling with two experienced workers and getting to work immediately, in order to reduce formal training (Menlo Innovations).
