type tools in Learning Management Systems against the philosophy that corporate and commercial is evil of the edupunkers. The questions she raises are: Is the edupunk ideology saying that the use of social media in commercial learning management systems is an assault on the very philosophy of learning 2.0?

Will Thalheimer was touting a ‘learning follow-on’ solution, a mechanism to continue to reactivate knowledge after a learning experience. That doesn’t characterize many of our learning outcomes. One used mobile technology to provide reminders and access to content. design meta-learning mobile'

At the end of the day, you want your systems tied together in the back end, providing a unified environment for performance for the individual. I recall (but not the link, mea culpa) a recent post or article talking about the lack of R&D investment in the learning space (let me add, the performance space overall).

On a recent conversation with some Up to All of Us colleagues, I was reminded about my ‘ reimagining learning ‘ model. The conversation was about fractals and learning, and how most tools (e.g. the LMS) don’t reflect the conversational nature of learning.

The prevailing attitude of this extreme view is that the Enterprise Social Network is the natural successor to the LMS, and it’s going to come from operations or IT rather than L&D. So Don’s provided, to me, a good point on why we might still want L&D (well, P&D really ;) in the organization.

For Inside Learning & Technologies 50th edition, a number of us were asked to provide reflections on what has changed over the past 15 years. An associated focus is building a meaningful infrastructure (hint: one all-singing all-dancing LMS is not the answer).

We’ve become self-deluded that an LMS and a rapid elearning tool means you’re doing something worthwhile, when it’s profoundly wrong. What technologies will have the greatest impact on learning in the next decade? What will learning look like in the year 2024? L&D needs a revolution.

It’s highly plausible that we’ll have expanded the performance ecosystem to be location independent, and be providing the 4C’s in ways that allow powerful access, sharing, and collaboration. Virtual worlds will also be more prevalent, though not ubiquitous. Semantics, however, are likely to still be nebulous.

Our first move was, of course, to purchase an LMS. A good LMS is like a fine automobile, with lots of capabilities to handle all conditions. We found out that some years ago a competency modeling exercise had been done, so we were able to populate the LMS with the roles, and the associated competencies.

And the instructor reviews the reviews, and provides feedback. I think this represents an integration of a wide spread of desirable features in a learning experience. And, as yet, there’s no LMS that’s going to track the artefact creation across courses and support all aspects of this.

Dave Wilkins , who I admire, has taken up the argument for the LMS in a long post , after a suite of posts (including mine ). I earlier made two points: one is that the LMS can be valuable if it has all the features. Or if you need the LMS features as part of a larger federated suite. And if you want an integrated suite.

But didn’t have a viable business case for me to care (I’m not a candidate for your LMS, for instance ;). It had 6 channels, and a plug for earphones (also provided). I tend to think that infusing learning science is more likely to be a problem in their elearning. (So, Even on the same stage!

The intention is to provide insight into many ways much of instructional design fails, and some pointers to avoid the problems. While that’s a good default, it doesn’t have to be that way, and there are times when it makes sense to provide other approaches or even self-navigation. Previous Series Post. Show Me, Let Me).

For instance, rapid elearning tools make it easy to take PPTs and PDFs, add a quiz, and toss the resulting knowledge test and dump over to the LMS to lead to no impact on the organization. For our readers who haven’t heard of the spacing effect, it is one of the most robust findings in the learning research. Oh, the horror!

I was pinged on LinkedIn by someone who used the entrée of hearing me speak in next week’s Learning Solutions conference to begin discussing LMS capabilities. Hint: they provide one.) I’m not saying the LMS is a bad tool for what it does. However, can an LMS be a full solution?

For one, I like to ask myself “what would my ideal learning situation be?”. For me, that would be having a personal mentor traveling with me, looking at my tasks, providing both support in the moment, and developing me slowly over time. I also talked about this model as Layered Learning. Stop and ask yourself that.

And she nicely lays out learning science and motivation research as practical implications. While she’s more focused on developing complex products with interfaces that remove barriers like cognitive load, and provide incremental capability, this applies to learning as well.
