VLE evolving – DLE, ILE, VILE, IDLE, FIDDLE and PIDDLE
The concept of the VLE is evolving or being replaced. It makes sense to some to rename the VLE to demonstrate how the VLE is evolving and how it is been used. The Devolved Learning Environment DLE is a way of taking a VLE and devolving it to the learners who then have more control over the environment, how they use the environment and what they use the environment for. Devolving the learning environment empowers the learner and allows them to take more control over their learning within an institutionally provided learning environment. This is of course different to a PLE, a Personal Learning Environment would not be provided by the institution, whereas the DLE would be. In a VLE such as Moodle devolving the LE to a DLE can be done easily with roles. The Virtualised Individualised Learning Environment VILE is a variation of the ILE. So is your VLE evolving into a PIDDLE?
How To Increase Learning Transfer
SumoMe When you are about to get surgery or your airplane is preparing for take off, don’t you desperately hope the surgeon or pilot had training that transfers to the real world? With that same passion, we should try to ensure the training we design and develop is transferable to the workplace or to authentic life situations. Learning transfer refers to acquiring knowledge or skills in one context that enhances a person’s performance in another context. According to educational researchers, a person must be sufficiently engaged in a learning experience in order to correct, modify and refine his or her existing knowledge structures to promote transfer of learning. 1. Reflection strategies encourage people to expand on what they are learning and to identify where they have deficiencies in order to correct them. To implement this approach, instruct learners to study in a meaningful way so they monitor their comprehension of the content. 2. 3. 4. 5. Conclusion References: Colin, Kaija.

Alamo A La Mode
Alamo A La Mode March 14th, 2011 at 05:03 I always liked twitter as a social network, mostly because unlike facebook or myspace, it seemed ad-free, and never seemed to want to eat all of your data like an over stimulated census taker. Being ad free – and apparently sans business model – it also felt a little bit like a public service. Twitter was a system designed to facilitate random communications and free international messaging without asking anything from you at all. On Friday however, Twitter decided to change. These silos, often the University repository or some such institutional system, are railed against for their fixed nature, difficulty of use and lack of services for building around. Twitter is “commercialising”, it isn’t lifting up a drawbridge, merely giving itself border controls whereas before it was happy with user freedoms. As no real alternative exists to twitter, it seems unlikely that this change will affect it’s user base. Or do they? cczpl
Assessments
Marcia Conner Assessments I developed the following assessments for various books and organizations. Many were originally published in Learn More Now (Wiley, 2004), which also contains assessments on observation and collaboration styles. Learning Styles Assessment This easy to use inventory can help you assess your own approach to learning and how you take in information. Motivation Styles Assessment This straightforward assessment can help you determine what drives you to action and what’s the reason behind why you want to learn. Direction Style Assessment This short checklist can help you identify if you prefer to learn from the big-picture or in a more detailed way. Engagement Style Assessment This simple quiz can help you determine how you prefer to engage with others when you learn. From Creating a Learning Culture: Strategy, Technology, and Practice (Cambridge University Press, 2004) I developed this assessment for the Online University Consortium photo credit: Joan M.Mas, Communication

Lou Mcgill's answer to E-learning: What are the best e-learning tools in medicine
Learning Styles - Learning skills from MindTools.com
Have you ever tried to learn something fairly simple, yet failed to grasp the key ideas? Or tried to teach people and found that some were overwhelmed or confused by something quite basic? If so, you may have experienced a clash of learning styles: your learning preferences and those of your instructor or audience may not have been aligned. Once you know your own natural learning preference, you can work on expanding the way you learn, so that you can learn in other ways, not just in your preferred style. By understanding learning styles, you can learn to create an environment in which everyone can learn from you, not just those who use your preferred style. Click here to view a transcript of this video. What's Your Learning Style? One of the most widely used models of learning styles is The Index of Learning Styles™ developed by Dr Richard Felder and Barbara Soloman in the late 1980s, and based on a learning styles model developed by Dr Felder and Linda Silverman.

e-learning - elearning model framework distance education blended learning
There are numerous names for open, flexible and distributed learning activities, including E-Learning, Web-Based Learning (WBL), Web-Based Instruction (WBI), Web-Based Training (WBT), Internet-Based Training (IBT), Distributed Learning (DL), Advanced Distributed Learning (ADL), Distance Learning, Online Learning (OL), Mobile Learning (or m-Learning) or Nomadic Learning, Remote Learning, Off-site Learning, a-Learning (anytime, anyplace, anywhere learning), etc. Design, development, implementation and evaluation of open, flexible and distributed learning systems require thoughtful analysis and investigation of how to use the attributes and resources of the Internet and digital technologies in concert with instructional design principles and issues important to various dimensions of online learning environments. After reflecting on various factors important to open, flexible and distributed learning environments, I developed A Framework for E-learning.

You are an expert in your field. The management is very impressed with your skills and wants you to share it with others. You have been asked to give a talk to your fellow colleagues or anyone else in the company who is interested in the subject. The day of the presentation comes. The speaker before you has now finished and it is your turn to present. There is also a voice in your head that constantly says, “don’t screw this up, don’t mess this up, you have got only one chance…” Two minutes into the presentation, you suddenly feel you cannot remember what you need to say next. You chocked…
