Hate to post again around better conferences but two things: 1. I just saw a fantastic post - Do We Need NECC that discusses a lot of the same issues. And there are some fantastic comments/trackbacks there. 2. On the original post - better conferences - there's been a call for moving this to a Wiki. I'm not really sure what the Wiki would look like, but it seems that there's an opportunity to have something along the lines of a Conference Patterns wiki.

It was great to see Mike Clayton in July’s issue of TJ putting the spotlight on Mehrabian’s 7-38-55 rule of communication – this has to be one of the most misquoted pieces of research in the world of L&D. The common fallacy is that the research is saying that only 7% of the impact of a presentation is down to the words, and that the visual and the vocal represent 55% and 38% of the message respectively.

Cammy Beans Learning Visions Musings on eLearning, instructional design and other training stuff. Monday, July 02, 2007 The Gin System As Ive been trying to sort out the role of FaceBook lately, I cant help but wonder "wheres the content?" It seems to me that FaceBook is a great networking tool. You can point people to outside links, but I havent yet seen a great way to include content.

I'm preparing some future presentations and articles. One thing I've really struggled with in past is how to get across the power of writing a blog as a tool that forces you to learning, especially to synthesize knowledge. In the past, I've used the analogy of the challenge during school of writing and how it forces you to really understand something.

Many thanks to Seb Schmoller , who alerted me to the fact that the link I provided to Prime Minister Gordon Brown's blog (see Blogging Gordon ) was in fact a hoax. It looks quite convincing until you start reading the postings, which I obviously didn't do. There is a downside to skim reading it seems.

Two situations recently have got me thinking about e-learning authoring tools. Firstly, I've been doing some more work on the script for The 30-minute masters which, if you remember, aims to teach the essentials of instructional design to subject matter experts in no more than 30 minutes. With the script now 1/3 complete and with a session agreed at the eLearning Guild's DevLearn 2007 in San Jose in November, my mind is turning to how I can convert this script into a half-decent piece of e-learn

Stephen Lahanas recently started a new topic on the Learning Circuits Blog Discussion Wiki. His topic is Capability-Based Content which he describes as: Capability based content is developed specifically with capability assimilation as its primary expectation outcome. This directly contradicts the majority of learning content developed today using traditional assessment-based outcome paradigms.

I'm sat here in a computer suite at the University of Plymouth with a bunch of my colleagues, all trying to get our heads around the new MicroSoft SharePoint software which will be unleashed upon our unsuspecting students in the Autumn term. Cry havoc, and let slip the dogs of war! Sighs, head scratching, bemused faces, more sighing, an 'arghh' and an occasional 'hooray', as something actually works for someone.

Awesome for the visual learner in you! I also recommend the Pregnancy Timeline. History of the Internet would be better with images. Which leads me to my most concerning observation.no collaborative creation of time lines.hhmm. Did I miss something? Certainly its not that hard to allow users to keep their time lines as locked or "open" for shared editing.

Just discovered another online tool in its preview release phase called SecondBrain. I'm waiting for an invitation to test it out. The introduction movie shows quite a few features that look promising. It looks like social networking meets PLE (Personal Learning Enviroment). This app and other new tools such as MyLifeBrand drive home the reality for me that we really are developing a sense of "self" online that is both directly and indirectly shaping our FirstBrain and FirstLife "self".
