Is fun a waste of time in online learning? ID Live this week with co-hosts: Joni Dunlap (University of Colorado, Denver); Robert Squires (University of Montana); Mary Engstrom (University of Montana); Cammy Bean (Kineo) The use of the word fun is dangerous in education – people perceive it’s about entertainment and not learning.

On our weekly twitter learning fest, #lrnchat , I regularly identify myself as a learning experience design strategist.  First, I think it is important to stop thinking about content, and start thinking about learning experience.  When you think about creating learning experiences, you are talking about design.

Koreen Olbrish of Tandem Learning has a post about using games to assess learning , and she addresses both opportunities and problems. So let’s assume there are success metrics built into the game and those metrics align with what your learning objectives are. Why aren’t they doing that now?
 

The Best from the eLearning Learning Community

There are really TWO categories of learning objectives based on their purpose.  One type of learning objective is for internal use—the design team, client and subject matter expert. If designers would write different learning objectives for each category, the world would be a better place. Thanks!
In fact, when designing a course, most of us make quite sure we incorporate Gagne’s instruction event #2: (inform learners of objectives) right away. Gagne says we should inform learners of the objectives to create a level of expectation for the learning. Do learners really need learning objectives?!
It’s now time to operationalize the Reusable Learning Object based approach I’ve been discussing over the last few weeks. Structuring a Learning Object-Based E-Learning Course (Pt 9) is a post from: E-Learning Curve Blog.
Last time, I introduced Cisco's approach to managing learning objects through the Reusable Information Objects/Reusable Learning Objects (RIO/RLO)approach. Cisco Learning Objects described. Learning Project Lifecycle 7 is a post from: E-Learning Curve Blog.
One of the NSF funded organizations, Wisc-Online has created a large database of online, multimedia learning objects on dozens of topics. These objects can be used by other organizations. Currently they have 2093 objects online and about 90 under development.
You can add pictures or sounds to flashcards or with a Java applet, you can record sounds right into flashcards, which also is great for language learning. Social Learning Objects One of the most powerful capabilities is how easy it is to grab existing content and modify it for your purposes.
This time, in Re-use Revisted , he wonders whether the idea that learning objects can be reusable is just a myth - sounds good on paper, doesn't work that way in practice. He asks whether anyone else out there ever finds they can re-use their learning objects. Norman Lamont is frustrated again. Good question.
Which objective are you more likely to fund? Learning objectives are wimpy. typical learning objective focuses on what each person supposedly needs to know, ignoring whether this knowledge will actually lead to useful action. Many people start their design by writing learning objectives. Pop quiz!
Cammy Beans Learning Visions Musings on eLearning, instructional design and other training stuff. Learning objectives clarify exactly what it is youre trying to teach. Vicki states as the first benefit of learning objectives: "Learners can focus more easily on what is important to their actual workplace performance."
