Game Element: Freedom

Kapp Notes

We don’t often think of something as abstract as “freedom” as a game element but actually, “freedom” is a large part of games. Games give you the freedom to fail, you can safely do something wrong and then start over again with minimal consequences and almost no longer term negative implications. But games provide more than the freedom to fail.

Designing Learning Like Professionals

Clark Quinn

I’m increasingly realizing that the ways we design and develop content are part of the reason why we’re not getting the respect we deserve. Our brains are arguably the most complex things in the known universe, yet we don’t treat our discipline as the science it is. We need to start combining experience design with learning engineering to really start delivering solutions.

Mobile Learning How to Learn

The Performance Improvement Blog

Delivering information to employees via mobile devices appears to be the latest hot trend in employee learning and development. However, if this delivery method means simply reading classroom training documents on a Web site or downloading a file that is thick with facts and instructions, we will not enhance learning nor help employees contribute to the success of their organizations.

LearnDash

Blended learning is everywhere, so much so that many people don’t even realize that they are taking part in blended learning programs.

In the K-12 space this often means students taking parts of their courses online and continuing coursework (or exercises) in the classroom.

Maslow, Confucius and 3 keys to operate in Dragon land!

Origin Learning

Can Abraham Maslow have made a mistake? His theory of psychological health premised on fulfilling innate human needs in order of priority culminating in self-actualization, is a known fact. But given the speed of change that is currently taking place everywhere, the 3 rd level of human needs based on relations will perhaps need to be re-evaluated. The way the world is advancing is responsible for making people re-think, reconsider, and “unlearn” embedded ideas.

The word art suggests there are no rules. Essentially, storyboarding as an art is the creative process in visualizing a project—in this case an e-learning project.

The Art of Aesthetic eLearning

eLearning Brothers

For over a thousand years, the Japanese have cultivated a unique art form known as bonsai. The object of this art is to strategically prune the branches and roots of a tree or shrub so that it appears to be a normal, mature tree, shrunk to a miniscule size. What a lot of people are unaware of is that these trees are not naturally that small. Most are made from what would be regular-sized trees, artificially kept small through the selective pruning process.

Walk Through Your Syllabus in a Video

TechSmith Camtasia

Walking through the syllabus is a necessary task at the beginning of every class. Students need to know where to find resources, how you’ll be evaluating them, and to hear you set the tone for the learning ahead. But often it takes up a good portion of the first class – valuable time that could be spent learning. Instead of using class time, create a video that explains your syllabus.
