The Role Emotions Play in the Change Process

http://emotionsandthechangeprocess.blogspot.com/ The importance of appreciating and understanding the emotional responses to change is fundamental in helping employees deal with the change and the commitment needed to move forward influentially and positively (Bridges, 2009 ). Research suggests that adjusting the timing and content of the information communicated promotes acceptance of change as employees' experience of emotions evolves in association with the change (Liu & Perrewe, 2005). Effective communication contributes to employees perceived sense of control during change and allows for richer information sharing. It also gives employees the ability to foresee and make sense of the future.

PicMonkey - Photo Editing Made of Win

I am surprised how often academic colleagues argue that there are no quality standards for e-learning. Well, hello, I’m sorry, but there are and some of them are damned good. However, I was surprised to find while doing some research for a client that there is no single source where one can go to compare different quality standards for e-learning. So I’m starting a list here, and would appreciate it if readers could direct me to ones that I may have missed.

E-learning quality assurance standards, organizations and research

http://www.tagoras.com/2011/12/19/association-education-predications-2012/ To wrap up 2011 and tee things up for 2012, I reached out to a number of colleagues at associations, learning technology firms, and other consulting firms across the sector to get their predictions (things they think will happen) and wishes (things they think ought to happen) in association education in 2012. In the first part of what follows, I have tried to weave all of the input into a cohesive narrative that spans five major themes: Following this narrative, I provide the full input from each person who participated. There is a great deal of good insight here – all of which merits careful consideration if not action.

Continuing Education - Lifelong Learning Market Predictions for 2012 — Tagoras

http://usergeneratededucation.wordpress.com/2012/03/03/experiential-mobile-learning-activities-presentation/ I am presenting workshops on Experiential Mobile Learning Activities at the Digital Media Literacy Conference 2012 and the Mobile Learning Experience 2012. What follows is the slide deck from and a description of my presentation. This interactive, experiential BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) workshop has its foundation in two guiding principles: (1) Building a sense of community in the classroom helps address the whole learner including achievement and academic success, and (2) Mobile devices are extensions of young people. As such, they should be leveraged in the classroom. Young people are connecting with one another through technology in unprecedented ways. Computers, wi-fi networks, and smart phones allow young people 24/7 access to technology and to one another.

Mobile and Embedded Delivery

Now it's easier than ever to deliver assessments to multiple different types of devices, or to create learning and assessment mash-ups by embedding quizzes or surveys within wikis, blogs and web pages. Questionmark's auto-sensing, auto-sizing delivery features take the guesswork out of blended delivery, enabling you to author an assessment once , schedule it once and then deliver it in as many different ways as they like. When delivering an assessment, Perception v5 auto-senses the participant’s device and browser, then delivers the assessment formatted appropriately for the device/browser’s requirements. https://www.questionmark.com/us/perception/Pages/delivery-auto-sense.aspx?gclid=COywgduYgK8CFWcZQgodfVcz0g
What is Mobile Learning? Take a look around and chances are you’ll see a mobile device. Phones, iPods, tablets, laptops, netbooks, iPads, and USB drives seem to be everywhere. Combine these ever-present gadgets with educational and productivity uses and you’ve got mobile learning . Mobile learning can happen anywhere: in a classroom, at the dining room table, on a bus, in front of a science exhibit, at the zoo…anywhere! Portability is not as important as the ability of the learner to connect, communicate, collaborate, and create using tools that are readily at hand. http://mobile2012.org/mobile-learning/

Creating your own e-learning? You will need a great tool to support you and the good news is that there many to choose from. However, before you start looking at the authoring tools you should consider: These tools use Powerpoint as the authoring environment but allows you to add interactivity and assessments; and to publish your content packaged ready to track in a learning management system. These are very easy to use as most people are familiar with Powerpoint. http://www.kineo.com/authoring-tools/rapid-e-learning-authoring-tools.html

More face-to-face communications – some participants felt that they relied too heavily on email, not recognizing the importance of a personal approach.

Skilling up

E-learning provides some exciting new possibilities for the training department, but to really take advantage of these will, in most cases, require a radical review of available competencies and an up-skilling programme aimed at the principle job roles of e-learning manager, developer and e-tutor. In this article, Clive Shepherd looks at the skills needed to make e-learning a success, at the issues involved in bringing these skills in-house, and at the opportunities currently available in the UK for training in e-learning skills. In many ways, as far as trainers are concerned, e-learning is just ‘more of the same’ - the same mountain of training needs, the same demanding learners, the same inadequate budget and the same impossible time constraints. What’s changed is a promise. The promise that, by making use of computers and networks to assist us in managing and delivering our training, we could meet a higher proportion of these needs, more quickly and more cost-effectively.
