Some thoughts I lobbed in another forum (lightly edited): Mark Warschauer, in his great book Learning in the Cloud (which has nothing to do with ‘the cloud’), pointed out that there are only 3 things wrong with public education: the curricula, the pedagogy, and the way they use tech; other than that they’re fine.

appropriate examples: that show the concepts being applied in context. Branching scenarios are powerful approximations to this by showing consequences in context but with limited replay, and so are constructivist and problem-based learning pedagogies. contextualized practice: learning across contexts that support transfer.

With humorous examples he covered the elements of systems thinking and why it means we need to switch pedagogies to a constructivist approach. Derek Cabrera opened the second day of the AECT conference with an insightful talk about systems thinking and the implications for education.

When talking about the Serious eLearning Manifesto , for example, we’re talking about principles that should be embedded in your learning design approach. If we take the analogy from regular science and engineering, we are talking about taking the research from the learning sciences, and applying it to the design of solutions.

There are a number of carefully detailed examples that help learners understand the business need and the outcomes as well as the design. They similarly develop a series of useful ‘use cases’ (they term them “archetypes”), and place them in context. Overall, it’s a well thought out characterization of the space.

There are similarities, for example both are great conferences. There were few people who aren’t reasonably on top of tech for learning, at least conceptually, and more aware of online pedagogy. There were more exhibits around simulations and virtual worlds, for example. There are a lot of differences! social).

And we’ve known it for decades (just because MOOCs are new doesn’t mean their pedagogies are): clear models, annotated examples, and most importantly deep and meaningful practice focused on significant skill shifts (let alone addressing the emotional side of the equation). We know what leads to effective learning outcomes.

He’s got pragmatic advices there, and lots of examples to help illustrate the possibilities. It needs to be carefully planned, well designed, and undertaken with a careful balance of game, pedagogy, and simulation.” ” Exactly! There are some interesting additional chapters.

The DemoFest was almost too big this year, so many examples that it’s hard to start looking at them as you want to be fair and see all but it’s just too monumental. I also talked about trying to change the pedagogy of elearning in the Wadhwani Foundation , the approach we’re taking and the challenges we face.

When we have this formal situation, we often do the information, example, practice routine, that’s been shown to work. However, newer pedagogies, where we put meaningful tasks up front, and organize the learning around it, making it structurally closer to the more natural learning model, is proving valuable.

So, for example, despite my time trying to improve my learning, there’s still room for improvement and I welcome any assistance I can get. Going beyond just the notion of the system, I believe that we need to start thinking more broadly about our curricula, pedagogy, and more.

Instructional design has established that the correct order of elements is introduction - concept - example - practice (and feedback) - summary. In this case, before you present the concept, you present either an example (a case-study) or a problem. I note that UNext/Cardean had a similar nav structure at one time.

For example trying to debug problems between hardware device and network service provider, and if you’re trying to provide a total customer experience, the old “it’s the other guy’s fault&# just isn’t going to cut it.

Engagement: an emotional ‘hook’ A clear pedagogy: info (models & examples), modeling, checking for understanding. He goes on to point out the major steps of DI (in my words): Have clear learning objectives: what should the learner be able to do ? Clear success criteria (which to me is part of 1). Guided practice.
