The Learning Circuits Blog Big Question of the Month for May is “What will workplace learning technology look like in 2015?&# This is a tough question for me, because I tend to see what could be the workplace tech if we really took advantage of the opportunities. Smartphones are on the rise, and new portable devices (e.g.

Ostensibly about Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR), it ended up being much more about VR. However, there were some interesting learnings for me, and I thought I’d share them. On the Vive, I tried a game where you shot arrows at attackers. First, I had a very strong visceral exposure to VR.

As a fan of comics and animations (read: cartoons) in learning, I was pleased to see a small mention of comics in a twitter discussion (triggered by this post ). So, first, machinima are animations made by using characters in 3D virtual worlds or computer games. And of course social learning adds value in and of itself.

Karl Kapp’s written another book, this time on gamification , and I certainly liked his previous book with Tony O’Driscoll on Virtual Worlds. ” I liked his chapter 2, as it does a good job of exploring the elements of games (though it’s not quite as categorical as I’d like ;). ” Exactly!

Marcia Conner & Tony Bingham’s book The New Social Learning is, quite simply, a must-read if you are in either responsible for learning in, or running, a business. If you’ve followed this blog at all, you know that social learning is the key to competitiveness and survival.

How do you systematically design learning experiences that effectively engage the learner? Based upon years of deep investigation into learning & instruction theories and design processes, and practical experience in designing games, I wrote Engaging Learning: Designing e-Learning Simulation Games.

The eLearning Guild is celebrating it’s 10th year, and is using the opportunity to reflect on what learning will look like 10 years from now. How has learning changed in the last 10 years (from the perspective of the learner)? What is the most significant change technology has made to organizational learning in the past decade?

I’d done this before for virtual worlds , and it only seems right to do the same for mobile learning. On top of that, we can have ubiquitous connectivity, we can connect to sensors that can recognize the world (e.g. So using interactive content could be mobile games. cameras) and our context (e.g.

I like ASTD; they offer a valuable service to the industry in education, including reports, webinars, very good conferences (despite occasional hiccups, *cough* learning styles *cough*) that I happily speak at and even have served on a program committee for. Virtual worlds start out as producer-generated content, web 1.0.

Last week I was at the excellent-as-always DevLearn , and this week I attended the Virtual School Symposium (VSS; for the first time). Both are about online learning, but the former is in the corporate world, and the latter is in the K12 world. There were more exhibits around simulations and virtual worlds, for example.

What I really wanted was to be empowered, and the best metaphor for total power I can imagine is having the ability to bring things into being, to have questions answered, to control the world with mere gestures and commands. We can truly bring any information, any person (at least virtually), anywhere we want. Because you have it.

We used to have SMEs give workshops, and those were attended, so we’ve purchased virtual presentation software to allow our SMEs to present online. Right now games are hot, and we found that one of our loading dock personnel was a talented game designer. Our responsibility ends at formal learning. Wikis and blogs?

The first volume is really about assessing needs, and design, and it includes behavioral task analysis and cognitive task analysis, and even talkes about engagement strategies in simulation and gaming, video gaming. Overall, there seems to be no awareness of the whole thrust of social and informal learning.

Perhaps inspired by Apple’s focus on Augmented Reality (AR), I thought I’d take a stab at conveying the types of things that could be done to support both learning and performance. It would be dependent on what I want to learn. I took a sample of some of my photos and marked them up. that interact with it, and how.

Many years ago, I read of some work being done by Valerie Shute and Jeffrey Bonar that I later got a chance to actually play a (very small) role in (and even later got to work with Valerie, definitely world-class talent). Subsequent to that, I got involved again in games for learning. social), particular types of clues (e.g.
