Questions to ask SMEs when developing e-Learning Objectives | Instructional Design and Training
Questions to ask SMEs when developing e-Learning Objectives Do you have questions that you find help you get rid of the fluff and get into the real relevance of the learning you are providing? · What will students learn about as a result of taking this course? · First, determine who is the actual (paying) customer, and ask that person what they intend for you to accomplish with the eLearning. That determines not only the learning objectives, but what you need to cover and how · I would have the SME answer a basic question right from the beginning: "Why elearning?" o How is this course relevent to me? o If I go through with this (take the course), what's the benefit to me? · What does success look like to you? · What do you need learners/users to know and be able to do at the end of the learning event? · I often find the subject matter experts find it hard to put what they want people to learn into words. · Focus on the business case, stellar performers (if any) and possible performance gap.

The 10 Web 2.0 Tools/Apps I Use Most As A Teacher, Learner & Leader
Awhile back Larry Ferlazzo wrote about the Web 2.0/Social Media tools that he uses every day. I read Larry’s blog all the time, but what struck me about this post was not the tools that he listed as being useful to him, (even though I use many of them myself), but rather the actual process of identifying the technology he uses each and every day. Not that this is hard work, mind you, it’s just that technology is such a ubiquitous part of my life; the tools/toys I use most often don’t feel like “tools” at all – rather they are almost an extension of who I am: a part of my daily routine so “normal” that I don’t think twice about the important role they play. Of course I start my day with a cup of coffee, my google reader and a personalized web curation app. Doesn’t everyone? And that’s what’s so brilliant about Larry’s post. #1 & #2 Google Reader + Feeddler Pro: In Larry’s post, he says that “RSS is truly a magical service” and he is so right! #5 Twitter: #9 Instagram: Bonus!
In a networked knowledge economy, co-creation is co-evolution
Read this post in: French Our world is changing, so is the way we are thinking about it. The rise of online networks has not only modified our possibilities to connect and exchange knowledge with other people, but also has it given anyone with internet access a new, almost (not yet totally, but for how long?) unalienable, power. From charities to tyrannies, from companies to markets, a lot of this power is shifting to citizens and customers. Paradoxically, the more people gain access to it, the less we can think in terms of mass. To adapt to this change, organizations have to reinvent most of the ways they operate. SD-logic and co-creation of value Service-dominant logic draws a framework in the quest for such an equilibrium. For companies, beyond profit and other measurable benefits (reputation and loyalty for instance), value means knowledge about their customers’ needs, expectations and uses, which drives further development of better products and services, and better engagement.
60 in 60 – 60 Web Tools in 60 Minutes with Brandon Lutz
Flying solo, DEN STAR Brandon Lutz #60in6012 Last year’s P.A.E.C.T. Advocate of the Year, this year’s P.A.E.C.T. Southeast Regional Director, and always a DEN (super) STAR, Brandon Lutz is a legend at PETE&C any year. His name is synonymous with 60 in 60, a presentation that packs an overflowing full house eager to cheer him as he achieves the superman impossible: 60 tools in 60 minutes. Hard to find a faster hour, unless it’s his App Attack: 60 Apps in 60 Minutes. The countdown begins... Brandon began his presentation by noting he has added 50 new since last year because he is always trying to keep his work fresh, timely, and relevant. Prezi: Keynote or PowerPoint is Prezi, a whole new concept in presentation media. Super Simple, Fast, and Fun! Another amazing presentation, the second of two 60in60 presentations in one day!

Edshelf: An Educational App Directory for Teachers
Earlier this month, the education startup incubator ImagineK12 held its second Demo Day, where its latest cohort of startups made their pitches to investors. I pointed to the write-up of Inigral’s Michael Staton in my weekly roundup of ed-tech news, but I realized this past week that I’ve done a particularly lousy job reviewing these latest startups here. I’ve covered Hapara and Instagrok (here and here), but that’s just two out of nine. So I’m resolved to try to cover a few more of these startups over the next few days. And for those keeping score at home, here’s the list from ImagineK12’s first graduating class last fall. Edshelf aims to address problems that I’ve covered here on Hack Education before: there’s a ton of educational content online – websites, apps and the like. When it comes to write-ups of education technology, whose reviews do you trust? Edshelf has a number of direct and indirect competitors.
