Rethinking e-Learning by Clark N. Quinn. “The opportunity we now have is to use technology to move from an event-based learning model that we know to be ineffective, to a more distributed and contextualized environment that elegantly spans the continuum from formal learning to performance support. And this is not science fiction – we have the tools we need now. Even if we didn’t, we should be preparing our thinking for this capability.” For all the sophistication of our technology, our view of learning has not really changed. In an era of semantic Web, augmented reality, virtual worlds, and more, we are still talking about courses! But in business, our goals are not learning, our goals are improving performance.
And courses, particularly the “event” model for courses, are one of the worst ways to go about achieving learning for performance! We need to review recent advances in technology to ascertain the new capabilities they can provide for learning, and then we can revisit how people think and perform. Technologies Semantic Web. Fundamentals of Social Media Support for Learning by Pam Boiros. “Social media can increase employee participation in learning, especially if the programs have a significant element of self-directed learning. Learners are more likely to stay engaged and complete their program of study if they are able to reach out to peers involved in the same program or get help on a particular topic. Face-to-face or virtual-group interaction at key points in the program, such as a kick-off or achievement of a milestone, helps enhance user engagement.” 2011 proved to be the year of high interest in the use of social media, from Facebook and Twitter, YouTube and Diigo, to Tumblr and Scoop.it, and other online networking services to support learning, as well as through similar services behind the firewall.
Industry conferences and organizations were abuzz on the topic. However, while many learning professionals are interested in social media for learning, relatively few organizations have begun to implement it. Social learning is a three- legged stool Table 1. Reporting & Analysis of Mobile Learning: Is It Worth It? by Skip Marshall. “Mobile learning is here to stay. There doesn’t appear to be an end in sight as smartphones and tablet devices become more and more pervasive. Through continual evaluation and analysis, mobile learning strategies will become an effective component of any learning strategy.”
Technology allows us to do some amazing things with learning. Today, everyone wants to mobilize his or her content. It’s almost impossible to attend a learning and performance event without feeling inundated with presentations on mobile strategy, or the latest in mobile authoring solutions. The challenge remains … is the effort worth it? What are you tracking? To begin with, you have to determine what information you will need to track. Informal and/or social-based learning is rapidly becoming a mainstay of all learning activities. How do you track it? Tracking learning events has long been measured around AICC and SCORM standards. The first step is to review your authoring solution.
How are you evaluating it? Book Review: The Mobile Academy, by Clark N. Quinn by Bill Brandon. “Business has already discovered that it is essential to have a clear strategy for accommodating mobile. Universities, where the implementation of these technologies is more complex and challenging, have an even greater need for a plan and a system to keep up with rapid changes in the mobile field. In my opinion, Clark Quinn has provided an excellent foundation for creating such a strategic plan.” Clark Quinn has just published another book on mLearning, his second this year. The latest work, The Mobile Academy: mLearning for Higher Education, is intended as a guide to strategy and implementation of mobile learning for administrators, instructional support staff, and faculty.
As such, it is direct, to the point, and extremely practical. Research and thinking In the Foreword, John C. What’s in the book? In this very concise book, Clark Quinn has packed an amazing amount of information. Why this book? Bibliographic information. Learning Solutions Magazine: Home. Why You Need a Mobile Learning Strategy by Bill Brandon. “Mobile learning is a transformative opportunity. It is not necessarily disruptive, but it does represent a significant means of augmenting formal training.” This column is for two different groups of readers. Those in the first group believe they don't need a strategy for mobile learning, possibly because they don't anticipate ever needing to deliver content through mobile devices.
Those in the second group have decided that they will use mobile technology if, when, and where appropriate, but they haven't thought about a strategy to do so, possibly because they think such a strategy would be redundant to their current eLearning strategy. There are at least two problems with these responses to mLearning.
First, not having a strategy for mobile learning is itself a strategy. Seeing the handwriting on the wall On May 18, 2011, The eLearning Guild released a new Research Report, Mobile Learning: Landscape and Trends, authored by Clark Quinn. Figuring out what to do. Définition mobile learning.
