If Joe wanted to attend a virtual conference or a meetup, he could do so with ease; however, if he wanted to host a virtual conference or create a meetup venue, that was beyond him. To me it’s simple: Second Life failed to accommodate Average Joe. And so Second Life sailed off the edge of the virtual world.

Host a charging kiosk. I realise this might be pricey, but if you want your audience to use the Internet, this is a big juicy carrot. And if you do offer free Wi-Fi, for crying out loud inform everyone of the access details. Even the most ardent of tweeters can’t do much with a dead device.

Both the ILE and the FLE can be hosted on the same platform, but I think the front end of each needs to be demarcated in order to psychologically separate the “learning&# from its administration. In contrast, the FLE will contain administrative tools such as enrolment lists, formal assessments, grades and transcripts.

I had in mind an Informal Learning Environment which would host the bulk of the content and enable peer-to-peer knowledge sharing. I argued in favour of providing all the necessary learning resources to the target audience in an open, structured format. This is constructivist design.

With the bulk of the content hosted elsewhere, it doesn’t need to be shovelled into the course. Freed from the burden of training everything , we can now focus our attention on what should be trained. Furthermore, these building blocks enable change in the nature of the training.

Instead of pushing out yet another course, I’m more inclined to host content on a mobile-friendly platform like an intranet or a wiki that the learner can access, browse and search via their device of choice – including a smartphone. Mindset #2 – Pull.

Michael defines “cloud computing&# as: …common business applications, platforms or infrastructure that are hosted on the internet (i.e. Podcast hosts.

Most of it is hosted elsewhere, but through judicious networking we assume it as our own. For example, “this website contains full-text copies of the legislation that governs the financial services industry&# ; “this wiki hosts our product information&# ; “this news feed informs you of our daily interest rates&#.

It doesn’t host content itself, but rather points you in the right direction. As an L&D professional, my concern was: if someone wants to learn something, where do they start? The answer is IQ. Essentially, IQ is a site that centralises learning resources for staff.

The site may host some of those resources and point to others that exist elsewhere. Occupying a place on the continuum somewhere between a VLE and a PLE, an ILE is an informal learning environment that a facilitator manages on behalf of a group of learners.
