New web guide E-learning Review of 2012 | Elearning Market 2012 saw some significant developments, which all point to the growing maturity of the elearning market. Our monthly market updates covered the key developments. Growing investment in elearning In January of this year we predicted that businesses would increasingly turn to elearning in order to: Ensure compliance Improve operating margins Respond quickly to changes Enable global reach Grow their business In June we highlighted some interesting research by Cardiff School of Social Sciences, Cardiff University and the LLAKES Centre, Institute of Education, University of London, which found contrary to more pessimistic expectations that employers did not significantly reduce training expenditure per employee in a recession. This was reinforced by research by Opinionmatters for Skillsoft, which found that 93% of companies in the UK planned to either maintain or increase their training budgets over the next 12 months.

Panorama des médias sociaux 2012 (The english version of this article is here: Social Media Landscape 2012) Il y a quelques années une analyste disait que dans cinq ans, les médias sociaux seront comme l’air (omniprésents). Nous sommes en 2012 et les médias sociaux n’ont jamais occupé une place aussi importante sur le web, à tel point que l’on en vient à se demander dans quelle mesure il est encore pertinent de dissocier les médias sociaux et le web. Pourtant, si l’on s’en tient à la définition que j’ai donnée (“Les médias sociaux désignent un ensemble de services permettant de développer des conversations et des interactions sociales sur internet ou en situation de mobilité”), il existe bien une différence entre un site web classique et les médias sociaux, surtout si l’on étudie de plus près les différents types de médias sociaux. J’insiste sur le fait que c’est bien un panorama des médias sociaux, et non des réseaux sociaux, car je croise encore beaucoup trop d’interlocuteurs qui confondent les deux.

Top Ed-Tech Trends of 2012: The Battle to Open Textbooks Part 6 of my Top Ed-Tech Trends of 2012 series Digital Textbooks When I looked at the most significant trends in educational technology last year, I opted to write about the “Digital Library” in lieu of digital textbooks. And truth be told, it would be quite easy for me to make the same argument again in 2012: despite all the hype about “revolutionizing” the textbook, faculty and students are still slow to adopt digital versions. (Not to mention, sorry, but textbooks, yuck.) In May, the Book Industry Study Group released the results of “a first ever survey of college faculty perceptions toward classroom materials” that found that most professors (88%) still prefer (and assign) the printed versions of textbooks and other class materials. Digital textbook provider Coursesmart issued a press release the same month with (not surprisingly) a sunnier view on adoption and usage. (Answer: it's Apple.) Apple and the Digital Textbook Counter-Revolution Open Textbooks Pearson’s Project Blue Sky.

MediasSociaux.fr - Toute l'actualité des plateformes sociales (blogs, wikis, réseaux sociaux, microblog…) et du Social Business (marketing + CRM + commerce) MediasSociaux.fr Twitter unveils a new homepage for people who aren't signed in Twitter spent the past year trying to convince skeptics that its relatively slow progress in attracting new users doesn't matter, because its reach is actually much larger. Millions of people who don't have Twitter accounts still see tweets every month, and Twitter said it was planning new efforts to convert them into active users. That effort starts today with the rollout of a new homepage for people who aren't signed into the service. More than 500 million people visit Twitter each month who aren't signed in, and of those, 125 million come directly to Twitter.com. Until now, unless you were there to sign up for an account, that page has been a dead end. Beginning today, though, people who aren't signed in will see a curated collection of timelines designed to show off popular parts of the Twitterverse. Cute animals, business news, and tech The idea is that you can now visit Twitter to check out real-time news and conversations even if you never plan on creating an account.

The 33 Best Educational Technology Blogs for 2012 EduBlog Awards were announced a few days ago and unfortunately Educational Technology and Mobile Learning did not win but was among the finalists. I must admit that I did not even know my blog was among the finalists till today or else I would have been promoting my nomination just like what the other finalists and winners did.This month has been the busiest month in my entire life, everything just got piled up on me , my Master exams, work, working on my blog template, preparing ebooks to publish here later on and the list goes on. One of the things I like about this Edublog Award nominations is that they feature great blogs you might not even have heard of before . This is a good opportunity for you get to know new blogs and follow or subscribe to them.
