How often do you feel like you understand something until someone asks you to tell them more about it? When teachers and learners want to convey information quickly there’s always a temptation to rely on definitions and a sampling of big picture ideas to help the learner hit the ground running. But Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman had his own methodology for mastering new concepts.

Virtual classroom platforms now include a plethora of tools meant to encourage learner participation. We have whiteboards , breakout rooms , polls , text-based chat. Including them appropriately in our programs positively impacts our modern learners’ experiences. One modern learning challenge we face though, is the type of engagement these tools generate: is it interaction or collaboration?

Instructional design is a growing field given the amount of online courses we are seeing today. It is becoming increasingly more important that we create learning experiences that “work”, and this is becoming more difficult each passing year as courses compete for the learner’s attention. Instructional designers are tasked with finding the best way to teach new information to a target audience.

At Kineo we’ve been considering how collaborative learning can be incorporated into our social strategy. But before we can do that we first need to define collaborative learning. Is it just a synonym for social learning or does it have its own unique identity? Does the nature of time play a role? For example, is social learning synchronous and collaborative learning asynchronous?

Inspite of being a paid learning management system , Blackboard rocks the boat when it comes to a number of organizations it holds under the belt for larger FTE’s (full-time employees.).

As of April 2017, Moodle has 101,869,024 runs in 235 countries.

Over the past year I have worked with Proteion , a health organization in the south of the Netherlands. They have 3500 employees and a large part of their work is care for people with dementia. What made it so much fun to work with Proteion is that people occasionally started talking in the Limburg dialect. I could understand it reasonably it and always gave me a feeling of being abroad, maybe even the feeling of my work in Latin America and Africa :).

When you hear the word “negotiation,” you probably think of some high-stakes situation involving SWAT teams, dangerous criminals, and tense conversations through megaphones. Negotiation skills certainly come into play in those instances, but they are also very useful when it comes to smaller concerns, like business deals, customer service, asking for a raise, or even haggling for a good price at a market.
