  • with Pearson being the lead runner to date
  • To be effective in the long term, large LMS companies will need to pull more and more of the education experience under their umbrella. Why? Well, technology is getting complex. Very complex. Which means that decisions makers are motivated
  • Google+
  • to platform the educational sector
  • Pearson and Google
  • Open Class:
  • Today Pearson, the publishing and learning technology group, has joined the software giant Google to launch OpenClass, a free LMS that combines standard course-management tools with advanced social networking and community-building, and an open architecture that allows instructors to import whatever material they want, from e-books to YouTube videos.
  • Blackboard acquired Elluminate and Wimba:
  • appear to be making in-roads in this space with

  • Why buy an LMS when you can buy the educational process?
  • Whoever has the platform sets the rules and controls the game.
  • Diversity will be pushed to the margins and Ellul’s fears will be realized in education as they have been realized in much of society.

    Con motivo del anuncio por parte de Pearson y Google, de la puesta en marcha de la nueva plataforma 'Open Class', excelente reflexión de G. Siemens acerca de la carrera abierta en el sector de la educación, por parte de las grandes empresas de LMS, tal como ya sucedió con Blackboard y su reciente compra de Elluminate y Wimba. ¿A qué se debe ésto?. A la complejidad de la tecnología actual, y a la necesidad en general de adoptar plataformas de convergencia (Social Media, Cloud computing, intranets, etc) y ,en particular la necesidad por parte de los responsables de las instituciones educativas, de propuestas que integren en una sola plataforma el propio 'proceso educacional', con el consiguiente peligro, tal como ha sucedido en otros ámbitos, pues 'quien posee la plataforma define las reglas y controla el juego' (tendencia hacia una centralización en red, tal como ya sucede con Google/Android, Amazon, Facebook, etc). En síntesis, tendencia hacia la centralización en red frente a topologías distribuidas, desplazando la diversidad fuera del 'sistema' y evidenciando los miedos a la tecnología en el sector de la educación (en todo su espectro o niveles) tal como ya ha sucedido en muchas partes de la sociedad. Gratis vs open source.

A Transition Path to the Future - Social Media In Learning - 0 views

  • moving towards a more collaborative approach to learning and working in an organisation- and one which supports the big picture of "learning", rather than the tiny, 20% of learning, that takes place in classrooms or online courses.

      Exactamente lo que estamos proponiendo para el eAprendiz (gestión de su PLM, como soporte de su ecosistema de desarrollo personal: PKM + REA + RCI + eportfolio + blog + RSs + BPC + ...), de trabajo y aprendizaje en RED.
  • Although many L&D professionals understand the reality of today's workplace and the need to take a more 21st century approach to "learning" than simply creating courses and workshops and using a command and control system to manage learners, what is stopping them is knowing HOW to move forward.

  • I'm not suggesting that in every case, you should junk your LMS completely
  • but you certainly need to take an honest look at whether it is delivering what you need in the workplace today.
  • A subsequent step in the Transition Path involves identifying a new 21st century collaboration platform that will underpin learning and working in your organisation. 
  • My Internet Time Alliance colleague, Harold Jarche, has written a follow up posting
  • further steps in the Transition Path
  • supporting and managing the transition process in terms of implementaton of the new system, and the new skills and mindset required.

Ple Conference - 0 views

  • Personal Learning Environments (PLE) include the tools, communities, and services that constitute the individual educational platforms learners use to direct their own learning and pursue educational goals. The idea of the PLE represents a shift away from the model in which students consume information through independent channels such as the library, a textbook, or an LMS, moving instead to a model where students draw connections from a growing matrix of resources that they select and organize. Because they emphasize relationships, PLEs can promote authentic learning by incorporating expert feedback into learning activities and resources. A PLE also puts students in charge of their own learning processes, challenging them to reflect on the tools and resources that help them learn best. By design, a PLE is created from self-direction, and therefore the responsibility for organization—and thereby for learning—rests with the learner. (7 things you should know about Personal Learning Environments, Educause 2009).
