The corporate training industry is undergoing some major changes.

From E-Learning to We-Learning

Over last few months we have been involved in many discussions with organizations about the tremendous needs to build, manage, and formalize their social and collaborative learning programs. This is being driven by many factors: the slowing economy, the "always-connected" nature of the workforce, and the explosion of social software tools and platforms now available.

In many ways, this transition is very similar to the last "big thing" to hit corporate training - the "e-learning" era. The word "e-learning" started in 1998 and we went through a radical change in thinking about training over the next 10 years. Science. B.O.I.N.C projects. Environmental Science. On iTunes U.

How Virtual Reality Meets Real Life Learning With Mobile Games

(Rosenfeld Media/Flickr) The buzz around games and learning has mostly focused on how educators can learn from game structure to create engaging learning experiences. Or else, educators are experimenting with video games meant to help students practice academic skills. Less attention has been paid to a niche of mobile gaming seeking to bridge the gap between the screen and the real world — pervasive gaming. “Most games are not automatically motivating,” said Benjamin Stokes, postdoctoral scholar at the University of California, Berkeley School of Information and co-founder of Games for Change. Giving students the opportunity to make meaningful choices isn’t at the center of every classroom, especially when it comes to civics.

In these situated games, students play a game on mobile devices that also requires them to interact with the real world. Related. How to Teach Math as a Social Activity. SA resources.

The school constitutes the “epicentre” of formal comprehensive education. Most processes and educational models start there and revolve around the work carried out within its walls. Naturally, the same applies for activities involving the IBSE model, generally acknowledged as one of the most effective teaching approaches;2 the students start their acquaintance with inquiry-based learning at school, with the help of their teachers. Therefore, schoolbased work on the IBSE constitutes the cornerstone upon which any further activities can be built.

Solid, engaging, well designed and time-tested practices are of the utmost importance for the successful implementation of the IBSE at schools and beyond. In the pages that follow, a series of case studies will be presented, which will form the basic pool of reference for the training activities that will follow (WP5). Daphnia.
