LISZEN Reflections on Learning Design Process Models 1 | Simon Cross Over the last month, Rebecca Galley, Paul Mundin and I have been reflecting on a range of our recent meetings and project related activities (including meeting with colleagues from Birmingham City and Gloucestershire, with our external partners, and OU colleagues). This post shares some of this ‘reflection-in-progress’ and as such uses languages familiar to those exploring new structures for curriculum/learning design processes. Here are two different draft representations to help communicate our interpretation of recent work. I think it important that such models seek to weave together the less formal practices and processes (such as design activities) with more formal and necessary demands: If you click on the images an enlarged version should load. By way of explanation, these representations were the outcome of our thinking about a range of questions. Does a business case, or any related business approval stage, need any pedagogic information or design? Like this: Like Loading...

Here are the Top 100 Tools for Learning 2015 Over 2,000 learning professionals from around the world from both education and enterprises contributed to the 9th Annual Survey of Learning Tools. Very many thanks to all those who took the time to complete the online form, write a blog post, send me an email or tweet me their selection. I have now compiled the Top 100 Tools for Learning 2015, updated the Top 100 Tools for Learning website and prepared a slideset, which I have hosted on Slideshare and embedded below. For the 7th year running Twitter is the No 1 tool on the list, although this year it is very closely followed by YouTube, and once again, the list is dominated by free online tools and services. What trends have you noticed on the list this year?

100 Helpful Web Tools for Every Kind of Learner For those unfamiliar with the term, a learning style is a way in which an individual approaches learning. Many people understand material much better when it is presented in one format, for example a lab experiment, than when it is presented in another, like an audio presentation. Determining how you best learn and using materials that cater to this style can be a great way to make school and the entire process of acquiring new information easier and much more intuitive. Here are some great tools that you can use to <a href=">cater to your individual learning style, no matter what that is. Visual Learners Visual learners learn through seeing and retain more information when it's presented in the form of pictures, diagrams, visual presentations, textbooks, handouts and videos. Auditory Learners Auditory learners do best in classes where listening is a main concern. Kinesthetic Learners Kinesthetic learners do best when they interact and touch things.

There’s one list that you want to avoid during your GRE test prep and on GRE Test Day, however, and that’s the “GRE Naughty List.” 1. The GRE test makers aren’t trying to be grinches when they put an unidentified, unscored “extra” quantitative or verbal section on the GRE. However, one of the biggest mistakes GRE test takers make is forgetting to account for the extra time and stamina required by the unscored section. 2. There are several reasons why you shouldn’t try to guess the difficulty levels, or your emerging GRE score, while taking the test:

Frame check sequence Structure of an Ethernet packet, including the FCS that terminates the Ethernet frame.[1] The FCS provides error detection only. Error recovery must be performed through separate means. Ethernet, for example, specifies that a damaged frame should be discarded and does not specify any action to cause the frame to be retransmitted. Other protocols, notably the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), can notice the data loss and initiate retransmission and error recovery.[2] Overview[edit] All frames and the bits, bytes, and fields contained within them, are susceptible to errors from a variety of sources. The FCS is often transmitted in such a way that the receiver can compute a running sum over the entire frame, together with the trailing FCS, expecting to see a fixed result (such as zero) when it is correct. Internet protocol suite protocols tend to use checksums.[5] detailled structure of an Ethernet Frame See also[edit] References[edit]
