100+ Free Online Learning Sites | Online Education Courses Note: Free learning opportunities have skyrocketed in recent years. I actually wrote this post some years ago – before Khan Academy, MOOCs, and all sorts of other options came along. It’s past due for an update. I’ll be working on one soon, so if you have resources you would like to see added here – or updates/perspectives on the ones already listed – please be sure to comment or contact me. I’ve been a fan of open education for some time and recently have been intrigued by the revival of the “free” business model debate by Chris Anderson and Kevin Kelly, among others. So, conflating the two, I decided to undertake what turned into a “pulling a thread on a sweater” exercise and see how much free learning I could find on the Web relatively quickly.

Next, I made an effort to categorize things in a relatively logical way below and even to start a key of sorts: The list follows. Topical Areas Dance
Alan See » Chief Marketing Officer » 3 Tips for Building a Social Media Lifelong Learning Environment Has rational ignorance impacted your organization’s social media activity yet?

More than likely, your organization started its social media journey with great excitement and a willingness to invest and learn. The concept of rational ignorance, while popping up on a daily basis for most of us, is particularly consequential to a social media strategy because the social media ecosystem is still evolving at a rapid pace.

Questo lavoro nasce da un vissuto personale, in quanto quarantenne che in un momento di crisi lavorativa, non trovando lavoro, ha deciso di iscriversi all'università come investimento per i prossimi venti anni; ne è seguita la percezione di non essere l'unica ad avere la sensazione che ci fosse qualcosa di anomalo nel mercato del lavoro attuale, che porta tendenzialmente ad escludere i quarantenni e oltre dalla maggior parte di possibilità lavorative: in qualunque ambito si parli di lavoro, si parla solo di giovani.

4 items re: heutagogy and lifelong learning Heutagogy and lifelong learning: A review of heutagogical practice and self-determined learning – from IRRODL. Vol 13, No 1 (2012) by Lisa Marie Blaschke Abstract Heutagogy, a form of self-determined learning with practices and principles rooted in andragogy, has recently resurfaced as a learning approach after a decade of limited attention. In a heutagogical approach to teaching and learning, learners are highly autonomous and self-determined and emphasis is placed on development of learner capacity and capability with the goal of producing learners who are well-prepared for the complexities of today’s workplace. The approach has been proposed as a theory for applying to emerging technologies in distance education and for guiding distance education practice and the ways in which distance educators develop and deliver instruction using newer technologies such as social media.

Adult Education – Continuing Education – International Dimensions – Or: What Are the General Characteristics and the Common Core of Adult and Continuing Education? There is general agreement that adult education (AE) has an international dimension, but how does AE today respond to this challenge? What is the relationship between theory and practice, given the international developments in this field, and what are the implications of the need for AE to work internationally? The author, who will already be familiar to many of our readers, addresses these questions. Prof. Joachim Knoll is Professor Emeritus of Adult Education at the Ruhr-Universität Bochum. Modern adult education has developed far beyond its origins, when it was not recognised as an integral part of the overall educational system. The Adult Education System In the Federal Republic of Germany, the adult education system is integrated into the school and post-school education system as a so-called fourth pillar of the system. Coordination between the components of the system is partly imposed by law. Structural Issues Content-related Issues International Issues 1.
