Knowledge Overload

Quote: "Coping with the deluge of information is a major challenge for students, scholars, librarians and the general public. After all, with thousands of online newspapers, blogs, and academic journals, Google Books digitizing millions of titles, massive amounts of information coming online each day, major innovations in content management, and the ubiquitous impact of e-mail, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and other new technologies, we find ourselves awash in petabytes of information of widely varying quality."

- we find ourselves awash in petabytes of information of widely varying quality.
- traditional ways of disseminating knowledge have grown well beyond our capacity to assimilate information
- 4 more annotations...
- - Now, the profound growth of scholarly output has made it a formidable challenge to try to stay current, forcing many of us to retreat into narrow fields of inquiry,
  - So, in our haste to prepare ourselves for Academe 2.0, let’s recognize that the old analogue academe has already overwhelmed our capacity to gather, read and assimilate the research, analysis and collected wisdom of our age
  - we are researching without having an impact, speaking without being heard and writing without being read.
  - Can we not elevate the scholarship of synthesis and interpretation back to the highest rank of professional inquiry, recognizing the remarkable talent needed to bring together in a readily digestible form the accumulated insights of thousands of scholars?
EBSCOhost: What Can Coaches Do for You?

coaching on 2009-03-01
- Today, most coaching is about developing the capabilities of high-potential performers.
- 1. Develop high potentials or facilitate transition 48%
  
  2. Act as a sounding board 26%
  
  3. Address derailing behavior 12%
- 3 more annotations...
- - s the business environment becomes more complex, they will increasingly turn to coaches for help in understanding how to act. The kind of coaches I am talking about will do more than influence behaviors; they will be an essential part of the leader's learning process, providing knowledge, opinions, and judgment in critical areas. These coaches will be retired CEOs or other experts from universities, think tanks, and government.
  - ALL COACHES RECOGNIZE that they should be making you more competent and self-reliant. If the coaching relationship isn't doing that, it's very likely that you're becoming overly dependent.
  - survey respondents see little connection between formal training as a psychologist and business insight – which, in my experience as a trainer of coaches, is the most important factor in successful coaching.

- recent improvements in technology and increasing bandwidth capabilities have led to the growing popularity of synchronous e-learning
- Asynchronous e-learning, commonly facilitated by media such as e-mail and discussion boards
- 18 more annotations...
- - even when participants cannot be online at the same time.
  - flexible e-learning.
  - more time refining their contributions, which are generally considered more thoughtful compared to synchronous communication.⁷
  - videoconferencing and chat,
  - Synchronous e-learning
  - more social and avoid frustration by asking and answering questions in real time
  - lmost every sentence in the asynchronous discussions of the smaller group, and a vast majority of sentences in the larger group, were classified as content-related
  - smaller to the larger class, it seems difficult to get asynchronous discussions going with few participants,
  - theorizes that asynchronous communication increases a person’s ability to process information
  - 60 percent of the sentences related to content
  - a third of the sentences related to planning of tasks
  - limited by time
  - predicts that synchronous communication increases motivation
  - more like talking
  - more acceptable to exchange social support and discuss less “complex” issues
  - A downside revealed in the interviews is that the focus is often on quantity rather than quality—that is, trying to write something quickly because “someone else will say what I was going to say.”
  - Thus, synchronous e-learning increases arousal and motivation, while asynchronous e-learning increases the ability to process information.
  - many learners enroll in online courses because of their asynchronous nature, which needs to be taken into account

Web 2.0 Storytelling: Emergence of a New Genre | EDUCAUSE CONNECT

Today, with digital networks and social media, this pattern is changing. Stories now are open-ended, branching, hyperlinked, cross-media, participatory, exploratory, and unpredictable. And they are told in new ways: Web 2.0 storytelling picks up these new types of stories and runs with them, accelerating the pace of creation and participation while revealing new directions for narratives to flow.
