IRRODL call for papers: Technology Enhanced Information Retrieval for Online Learning
The International Review of Research in Open and Distance Learning is planning a Special Issue on Technology Enhanced Information Retrieval for Online Learning ( http://maiga.athabascau.ca/editors/IRRODL-Special_Issue-2012-IR.html ) Online learning has been developed for over decades and has become an important tool for education. Many tutors design web-based teaching materials and share them in the learning management systems. Learners develop knowledge from those materials, tutor supports, and the collaborations with other learners in distance in the online learning environment and platforms.
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.

Freakonomics: What Went Wrong? » American Scientist
The nonfiction publishing phenomenon known as Freakonomics has passed its sixth anniversary. 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. The faces of Freakonomics are Steven D.

Is Design Thinking Missing From ADDIE?: The eLearning Coach
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. Design thinking acquires and synthesizes information in order to generate creative, human-centered solutions.

Her notes from Mike Sharples’s presentation really struck a chord with some of the work and writing I’ve been doing on mobile learning , particularly as I have been considering situated cognition, authentic learning, and constructing knowledge in situ.

En la última década del siglo XX se asiste a una propuesta de cambio curricular en la enseñanza de la probabilidad en todos los niveles educativos. En los diseños curriculares, no sólo en España, sino en otros países, se sugiere iniciar esta enseñanza a una edad más temprana e introducir la probabilidad en su acepción frecuencial. La metodología recomendada está basada en la experimentación y simulación de experimentos aleatorios. Así, por ejemplo, en los estándares del NCTM se indica que los estudiantes deben explorar mediante situaciones y de forma activa, los modelos de probabilidad. “Laboratorio básico de Azar, Probabilidad y Combinatoria” (Primer Premio a Materiales Educativos _ITE_2010. España) hace posible esta metodología.
