Now that I have participated in a mooc, I am naturally qualified to dispense expert advice about them. Lol! Seriously though, one aspect of moocs that I think requires urgent attention is the sense that many participants feel of being overwhelmed. This was certainly the case for some in the EDCMOOC , and I fear I was too dismissive of the issue in my previous blog post.

Donald Taylor recently published an article titled ‘ What does ‘LMS’ mean today ?’. In it Donald posited something I’ve been advocating for years. It is this. Learning can only be managed by the individual in whose head the learning is occurring. Of course external factors – such as other people (especially your manager and your team), technology, prevailing culture, general ‘environmental’ factors, and a range of different elements – can support, facilitate, encourage, and help your learning oc

This is because I recently had to go through the process of understanding what salary you pay someone who is an e-learning developer. It turns out that it varies dramatically depending on who you ask. This is because everyone has a different idea of what e-learning is and what it takes to develop it.

In thinking about the coherent organization , a couple of realizations occurred to me. One is about how those layers actually are replicated at different levels. The other is how those levels need to be aligned in the organization to the overall vision. For one, those work teams can be at any level. There will be work teams at the level that the work gets done, but there’ll also be work teams at the management and even executive levels.

In thinking about how organizations can ‘learn’, it strikes me that everyone needs to be simultaneously learning and teaching. How does that happen? I think it can be scaffolded, but it may also be an inherent trait. A number of us are talking more about working out loud: Jane Bozarth and Harold Jarche talk about ‘narrating your work’, while I go on about ‘thinking out loud’ and ‘learning out loud’ The point is capitalizing on the benefits that

To create an online course that engages and informs, you must remember that there are 3 important parts to a course. First comes the Introduction – where you introduce yourself and set the tone for the course. The second is the Instruction – here you present course overview and lay down detailed objectives and tasks to learners. Last but not the least, is the Conclusion – this is the time when you provide performance analysis and ask for learner feedback.
