THE LEARNING CIRCUITS BLOG FEBRUARY 27, 2012 What's different about mobile learning? As the doors open to a new era of mobile learning and performance support, it's a good time to step back and think about the new mindset required when designing for mobile. Although a mobile pedagogy will continue to evolve, we already know quite a bit about how people use mobile devices and some of the advantages of mobile learning. That's an old-fashioned and highly collaborative approach. | LEARNING TECHNOLOGY LEARNING MARCH 1, 2012 Collaborative bookmarking in education To continue the series of posts on the theme of internet-based tools for teaching and learning, here is my latest thinking on collaborative bookmarking in education. Firstly, the term I'm using is collaborative bookmarking rather than social bookmarking. This is because I'm trying to put it within a educational context. The emphasis, therefore, is collaboration or co-construction of knowledge and understanding and using an online bookmarking service as part of such a pedagogical design. For example, for social bookmarking tagging is key. The principle is sound so what is the reality. | CLARK QUINN FEBRUARY 29, 2012 MOOC reflections A recent phenomena is the MOOC, Massively Open Online Courses. see two major manifestations: the type I have participated in briefly (mea culpa) as run by George Siemens, Stephen Downes, and co-conspirators, and the type being run by places like Stanford. Each share running large numbers of students, and laudable goals. Each also has flaws, in my mind, which illustrate some issues about education. The Stanford model, as I understand it (and I haven’t taken one), features a rigorous curriculum of content and assessments, in technical fields like AI and programming. | TOPYX SOCIAL LEARNING FEBRUARY 28, 2012 Pros and Cons of Social Media in Education How is social media changing education? Can this apply to corporate training as well? Recently my friends at onlineuniversities.com published this infographic (by Justin Marquis PhD.) about the pros and cons of social media in education that they have asked me to pass on to you. It talks about the types of social media the schools are using, how they are using it and why. Jodi Harrison. | | | | | | | | | -
SPICY LEARNING | FRIDAY, MARCH 2, 2012 5 Tips to make sure e-learning is effective I love Sheldon Cooper! I’m talking about the eccentric genius from the TV sitcom, The Big Bang Theory. He’s a know-it-all and knows it! So, why do I love him? Apart from the fact that he’s funny, it’s the hidden desire to be that know-it-all, to know almost everything there is of any practical worth. Alas, every day I am reminded of how far from this truth I am (and maybe that’s a good thing, but that’s another whole new philosophical debate for another time). Take, for example, the other day when my nephew wanted me to help him with a maths problem. MORE >> -
ONEHUNDREDFORTYWORDS | THURSDAY, MARCH 1, 2012 #LearningStyles Awareness Day – Catering to Interaction Preferences Instead This post is part of #LearningStyles ‘Awareness Day’ , a day of blogging about a very popular — if very unfounded — concept in our industry. . First, it’s kind of intimidating to write about something that a lot of other really smart people are writing about — on the same day, even — and even more so because many great things have been published about learning styles recently that I couldn’t hope to touch in terms of thoroughness. Well… no. It seems to be wildly beyond learner expectations. What do you think? What were your results? MORE >> -
JAY CROSS | MONDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 2012 The Designer’s Toolbox Most of the three dozen people convened by the irrepressible Aaron Silvers for a recent retreat in Sedona, Arizona, would say they’re designers, but not instructional designers. We’re software nerds, change agents, standards developers, experience designers, game developers, and problem solvers. We came together at Up to All of Us to compare notes, find connections, and share the tools of our craft. Sedona is a magic spot in the high desert, about two hours north of Phoenix. Kurt Hanks led a two-day workshop on Paradigm Mapping before the official two-day event kicked off. Personas. MORE >> -
BOZARTHZONE | FRIDAY, MARCH 2, 2012 From Traditional ID to ID 2.0 I have an article in the new issue of ASTD's T+D, "From Traditional Instruction to Instructional Design 2.0". It's excerpted here if you'd like to take look. Some highlights: Social learning is learning with and from others by moving within one’s culture, workplace, and world. It’s often unconscious and unintentional, and it often looks more like solving a problem or working together to make sense of something. Social learning is how most of us learn most things: through living in our cultures and interacting with others there. MORE >> -
