Experience with New Tools and Infrastructures of Research: An Exploratory Study of Distance From, and Attitudes Toward, e‐Research - Prometheus - Volume 27, Issue 3. E‐Research initiatives have been launched around the world, but have they captured the imagination of researchers across the disciplines?
This paper reports on a web‐based survey designed to gauge awareness of and support for e‐Research initiatives. Early adoption and interest in e‐Research practices represent a wide range of methodological traditions, but those most interested in e‐Research tend to be among a cohort of more recent graduates of doctoral programmes. However, greater certainty and support is driven largely by proximity to e‐Research. This finding reinforces the value of efforts to engage more social scientists and other researchers in e‐Research, such as through demonstrations, training or other ways of providing hands‐on involvement. Doctoral and early career training might be the most fruitful arenas for engagement.

The original book, which used ideas from statistics and economics to explore real-world problems, was an instant bestseller. By 2011, it had sold more than four million copies worldwide, and it has sprouted a franchise, which includes a bestselling sequel, SuperFreakonomics; an occasional column in the New York Times Magazine; a popular blog; and a documentary film. The word “freakonomics” has come to stand for a light-hearted and contrarian, yet rigorous and quantitative, way of looking at the world. #Change11 Human Learning. Like Button for Twitter. Is Design Thinking Missing From ADDIE? SumoMe Even though a crucial part of our jobs involve design, the prevailing instructional design models are based on systems thinking.
Systems thinking promotes an analytical or engineering type of mindset. But we also need an approach to help us synthesize, innovate and create.

Curating Information & Making Sense of Data Is a Key Skill for the Future [Research] UNESCO Launches Global Portal to Track Open Access. Image via Wikipedia The United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has launched a Global Open Access Portal (GOAP).
GOAP is an interesting website, designed to summarize the current status of open access to scientific information, especially from a regional and country-specific perspective. Key features include what UNESCO calls “critical assessments of major barriers to OA in each country; key organizations engaged in OA; and funding and deposit mandates.” UNESCO is clearly using the portal to promote OA, especially in developing countries, but most of the information is factual, not polemical. It might well be useful for market research purposes. The content appears to be more encyclopedic than journalistic, and there is a lot of it. There is however a certain amount of pro-OA rhetoric. There is also a listing of major OA repositories, categorized by what GOAP calls thematic areas, which are basically disciplines, including Arts and Humanities. Winning Student Presentation at CAC.

If 10 CLOs were asked how best to increase the value of learning, almost all would say the same thing: Increase the amount of learning transfer in the workplace. However, if the same CLOs were asked about their own learning transfer success, they likely will express disappointment. The lack of learning transfer has been a long-standing issue in the learning community, and research on how to increase it is both complex and contradictory.
If CLOs followed typical advice, they could add hundreds of components to their learning programs, put an undue burden on learners, managers and training professionals and more than double the investment they make in each skill development effort, not to mention ruin their budgets. The Rule of Three: Practical and Effective There is a less costly approach to increase the desired learning transfer. The learning cycle and the power of asynchronous learning activities. When grappling with the concept of learning I often talk about the importance of reflection.
However, another key concept is asynchronicity (I’m not entirely sure that’s a word). I’ve reflected on this previously withinAsynchronous = Time and Space Learning. In that post I talked about how learning is more likely to occur when given time and space. I wanted to tease this out a bit more in relation to learning itself.

It's even more fun when you've mislaid the control and are virtually helpless without it.

Clive on Learning. Today at 7pm, Michael Allen, Julie Dirksen, Clark Quinn and Will Thalheimer, backed by a raft of other well-respected thinkers and practitioners in the field of workplace learning technologies will be launching the Serious eLearning Manifesto. This campaign is the result of many years of discussions, lamentations and grumblings about the state of e-learning.
It's time to do something about the problem before e-learning is discarded as a good idea that, in spite of 30 years of our best efforts, somehow never got to fulfil its potential. As usual, because this terminology means such different things to different people, I must clarify what sort of e-learning we're talking about here: the problem is with interactive, self-study materials accessed on a computer. We're not talking webinars, virtual classrooms, online video, social learning and all those other good things. OpenSimulator: School Quick Start Guide.

" La enseñanza de criterios y su defensa nunca consiste en su mera colocación ante la mente y en exponerlos tan claros corno sea posible. Se da por supuesto que los criterios tienen también una eficacia causal máxima. Esto hace muy difícil distinguir entre la fuerza lógica y el efecto material de un argumento.
Al igual que un perrillo amaestrado obedecerá a su amo sin importar lo confuso que él mismo esté, y sin importarte cuán urgente sea la necesidad de adoptar nuevos esquemas de conducta, del mismo modo un racionalista amaestrado será obediente a la imagen mental de su amo, se conformará a los criterios de argumentación que ha aprendido, se adherirá a esos criterios sin importar la confusión en la que se encuentre, y será completamente incapaz de darse cuenta de que aquello que él considera como la “voz de la razón” no es sino un post-efecto causal del entrenamiento que ha recibido.

Quick Look: The Top 10 tech trends for 2012. MITx – Continuing Education online? Social business and enterprise usage: The lessons. Can Social Media Really Facilitate Learning? Social Media, it just trips off of the tongue doesn’t it? But what do we mean exactly by social media? Isn’t all media, by definition, social, in as much that it is intended for groups of people to consume, to inform to educate, persuade and convince? Now that may be the case but the two words now form an indissociable colocation, that encompasses the likes of Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, YouTube, and Linked-in to name but a few. The jury is still out on whether, in fact, these new technologies of the web 2.0 (or maybe web 3.0) generation can actually bring about any meaningful learning, but there are many that will defend to the death the notion that social media does just that.
