Agile Design: An Ethos for Creating Learning Platforms
"Software design and related practices and methods have had a significant influence over the Instructional Design field. For example, ADDIE, Dick and Carey, and Rapid Prototyping are heavily influenced by software development methodologies"
21 Things That Will Become Obsolete in Education by 2020
"Last night I read and posted the clip on '21 Things That Became Obsolete in the Last Decade'. Well, just for kicks, I put together my own list of '21 Things That Will Become Obsolete in Education by 2020'."
Examples of Facilitating Collaborative Work and Learning
"The design of both programs is, to an extent, a reflection of how client work is pushing our employees and work groups to collaborate with one another in new ways. At the same time, employees are giving us signals that they want to have the freedom to pursue their own professional interests. "
Children who use technology are 'better writers'
"Our research results are conclusive - the more forms of communications children use the stronger their core literary skills."
Here, There, & Everywhere
"Electronic portfolios can follow a student beyond graduation into careers and other life pursuits-- but not if the university can't guarantee access, or if the data won't transfer from one system to another. A look at how ePortfolios can be true repositories of lifelong learning."
Online Learning: More Than Technical Savvy
"... the introduction of online experiences for students should be consciously engineered to best capitalize on their readiness for independent learning, and that the progression into the online learning environment be intentionally built into the undergraduate curriculum rather than simply offering students an open menu of face-to-face, hybrid, or fully online courses."
Teaching Teachers to Use Blended Learning
"Pedagogically, CSU Interact supports a social constructivist approach to e-learning, which suggests that learning is a social process and that students construct meaning from their own experiences."
LMS or SNS?
"To survive, LMS vendors will need to transform their offerings on the social network model of Facebook. ELGG is an excellent alternative to an LMS, but most organizations are not yet willing to accept a network-centric tool as an alternative to Moodle."
Epsilen : Epsilen ePortfolio
"Fully integrated into the eLearning environment, this innovative module lets educators and students store a wide array of materials to showcase performance and progress—an ever-changing collection of multimedia artifacts, course-created materials, blogs, discussions and wikis.
Faculty can meet students in their digital world and profoundly change the way they teach. Students can take their complete ePortfolio with them upon graduation and add to it indefinitely during further education and throughout their career. "

5 Ways We're Diminishing Learning by Assuming Face-to-Face Instruction Is Best
"Recent studies have shown that using online technology and creating communities of learning through digital connections has proved to be more useful to learning than most face-to-face encounters. So making the assumption that face-to-face is more effective can become prohibitive for our students."
Confidence Based Learning May Reduce The Time It Takes To Learn
According to confidence-based learning, the best time to learn is immediately after a test when doubt and misinformation have been exposed. If confidence-based learning is incorporated into courseware-builder, the speed of learning can be increased dramatically--by as much as 50% or even more.
Why am I doing this?
"Teachers who resist integrating technology do so partly because they see limited value added. In addition -- as they are learning -- they see time and energy lost, and they anticipate frustration when things don't go smoothly. They ask, "Why bother?" It's a valid question. "
Could Google Wave Replace Course-Management Systems?
"Google argues that its new Google Wave system could replace e-mail by blending instant messaging, wikis, and image and document sharing into one seamless communication interface. But some college professors and administrators are more excited about Wave's potential to be a course-management-system killer."
