This post first appeared at Learning Solutions Magazine. So I’ve had a bit of a bugbear for a while and I’m starting to feel that I’m not alone. It’s 70/20/10, the oft-quoted model from which we derive that the majority of learning happens from on the job experience, as opposed to learning from peers or in a formal learning environment. Where’s the research? was doing it wrong. | STOATLY DIFFERENT APRIL 15, 2011 How can Social Learning scale massively? Lesson from World of Warcraft… The former is more concerned with meaningful relationships which we build with other people and how they help to provide the context for our learning. Of course, you don’t want to get together to take on a challenge and find some other group already in the dungeon (how often does that happen at work), so each challenge has the ability to provide a unique instance of itself for your group. Much fuss is made of class-size effects in schools, but I often get blank stares when I talk about the dangers of putting 10,000 people together in an online learning environment. | | | | | |
| STOATLY DIFFERENT JANUARY 16, 2012  My top learning technology conferences of 2011 I know a number of bigger providers who suggest that, perhaps more than anything, their appearance at this show is an exercise in big swinging dicks with the other providers. Not that big and a fair number of tools orientated providers. Curatr at Learning Technology. Last year I hit the road a fair bit and attended a number of industry conferences around the world. | STOATLY DIFFERENT MARCH 15, 2010 Managing the Social Learning Mess: Auto-curating content Curators also go beyond these functions and use learning objects to tell us a story, providing deeper insight into what would otherwise be just a collection of ‘things’. Let us suppose that we’ve created a social approach to online learning, where-by our users not only take content from our Learning Environment, but actively add content to it as a part of their participation. One of the biggest problems facing those tasked with administrating such a platform is going to be information overload. What is required is a method of ‘Curating’ the content that your learners contribute. | STOATLY DIFFERENT SEPTEMBER 16, 2009 A response to Blake Lapthorn, acting on behalf of PowWow Water Finally your letter lists 13 anonymous users and tells me that I should provide you with the IP addresses of those individuals, under threat of further action. Please note for context purposes that the below blog is the full transcript of a letter I have today sent in reply to correspondance received from Blake Lapthorn Solicitors, acting on behalf of PowWow Water. Blake Lapthorn requested that their letter should not be published and I respect this decision. Reference: PowWow Water Blog. FOR PUBLICATION. Dear Sirs. Firstly allow me to correct a small issue with your correspondence. | STOATLY DIFFERENT NOVEMBER 12, 2009 Your organisations next Facebook policy Currently, in order to get close to any of the benefits that a website like Facebook could provide your company, you first have to jump over all of the associated ‘risks’ that get thrown at you. So then let’s look to embrace the opportunity that providing access to Facebook will give us. If at any time during your working day you find yourself with a free moment, it is company policy that you MUST logon to your favourite social network and have a play about. Do this until more work arrives. No exceptions. It’s a mindset, one of a previous generation. This sucks. | | | | | | | |
