Rapid Instructional Design for Accelerated Learning

Dashe & Thomson

Created in the military during World War II, the Instructional Systems Design (ISD) model has dominated curriculum design for the last 40 years. It is still taught in universities and by most train-the-trainer firms. However, according to Dave Meier, in The Accelerated Learning Handbook , the ISD model is “too slow, cumbersome, stiff, linear, and emotionally dull…to get the job done today.

High Touch vs. High Tech

The Performance Improvement Blog

Technology is putting up barriers to the kind of deep listening that helps two people learn from each other. This is especially true in healthcare. Medical patients, often nervous, scared, and in pain, are comforted by the personal caring and touch of their doctors, yet technology (and time pressure) is getting in the way of that relationship. Abraham Verghese, Stanford University physician and best-selling author, argues that the tendency today is for doctors to order tests before or in lieu of

I will remember Steve Jobs 2005 Commencement Address

Jane Hart

Steve Jobs died yesterday, 5 October, and the blogosphere is full of tributes today to him. For me one of the most influential things he did was his commencement speech to Stanford University in 2005. I’ve forwarded the link to many people over the years, and I know it has impacted many others too. In fact it’s been viewed on YouTube over 6 million times.

Motivation & Gamification

Clark Quinn

The initial Learning 3.0 conference (well-done, Phillip, Julie, & Leah) was held in conjunction with The Motivation Show, a large conference (dwarfing our little group) and Expo on incentive and recognition programs. And it’s thought-provoking. First, you have to know that while I understand sales commissions and rewards, because they *work*, I don’t like them.

Dev Corner - Relocating Your TFS Workspace Data

TechSmith Camtasia

I recently needed to move my local TFS source tree to a secondary drive, and for the most part, it worked quite well. First, the process I used was: Copy (do not move) the TFS folder -- or whatever you called it -- to pathtonewTFS. In Visual Studio, navigate to your Source Control Explorer view and open the "Manage Workspaces" dialog (via Workspace combo > Workspaces.).

Cases in custom content development - 1

Clive on Learning

I have been developing a set of cases to use at a workshop I am running next Thursday in Munich. They are designed to bring out a wide range of issues related to the development of custom e-learning content. I want participants to be aware of the sorts of problems that all too frequently occur, but also the difficulties with coming up with a process that suits all stakeholders and all requirements.

"Nuts and Bolts" for Practitioners

bozarthzone

Many of you likely know that for the past couple of years I've been writing a monthly column, "Nuts & Bolts", for the eLearning Guild's Learning Solutions Magazine. It's meant to help an audience largely made up of folks who may have found their way to eLearning and instructional design via less-than-formal means. I find that writing this often satisfies my bloggin' urge (and find that people often refer to these columns as "posts").

You can't get a cloud in your hand

Clive on Learning

With iCloud appearing on the horizon, I was reminded yesterday of just how vulnerable you become when you trust all your data to a third party to store for you online. I made a simple change to my Blogger template and pressed Save. Some bug in Google's software then rendered my blog as a complete dog's dinner of code. My instinct was to revert to the previous version and put this down to experience.

bozarthzone

I was delighted that the eLearning Guild invited me to write up the results of their ongoing "Social Media for Learning" report. The 2011 version is now available to Guild members.

Reflecting on the Apple Experience

Corporate eLearning Strategies and Development

I decided to take a break and sit outside the Apple store at the Biltmore in Phoenix today. I sit here with an iPhone 4 in my hands. I effortlessly swipe my thumb across the screen looking for the right icon. It's beautiful. Every pixel. Every icon. I simply marvel at this little device every day. I find the new Blogger icon and launch the app. The app opens.

Gen Y: A Driving Force Behind the Gig Economy?

Mindflash

When the parents of so-called Gen Y (aka the Millennials) graduated from college or high school, they knew exactly what to do: Get a job. Their employers may have changed periodically as they climbed the proverbially career ladder, but the basic concept that adults had full-time jobs with single employers over periods of years was pretty much a given.

Slightly dangerous

Learning with e's

Barcelona is the most dangerous city in Europe. That is the assessment of well known author and TV producer Manuel Castells who resides in the city for part of each year. As I dined with him and his wife Emma last night at the upmarket La Camarga restaurant, he told me they had recently been attacked and robbed near to their home. Two burly men in leather jackets roared up on motorcycles and accosted them.
