Added Value of Networking for Today's Students | Growing "Knowledge Workers" with Socia... - 0 views

  •  
    The kind of skills students are developing on social networking sites, says Greenhow, are the very same 21st century skills that educators have identified as important for the next generation of knowledge workers - empathy, appreciation for diversity of viewpoints, and an ability to multitask and collaborate with peers on complex projects. ~Weblogg-ed

    However, creating mashups requires skills that are out of the reach of non-programmers. In this paper, we describe how the end-user programming approach might enable non-programmers to make mashups.

      Tools wie z.B Diigo können informelles Lernen aus zwei Perspektiven unterstützen: a) wenn man einen Text gefunden hat und durcharbeitet, kann man seine Gedanken strukturieren und mit existierendem Wissen in Bezug bringen. Durch die Annotationen is es weiterverarbeitbar (Mashup) und auch besser wiederfindbar (tagging). b) Durch die Annotationen und Meta Informationen und den Sharing-Mechanismus profitieren auch andere informelle Lerner davon. Sie können die annotierten Texte als Basis verwenden und ergänzen. Das fördert kollaboratives informelles Lernen

      Web 2.0 Technologien fördern die Bereitschaft und die Qualität vom informellen Lernen, weil man weniger Hürden hat, "hochwertiges" Lernen zu betreiben. Am Beispiel Diigo.com: Anstatt einen gefundenen Artikel ausdrucken zu müssen, und mit textmarker usw zu bearbeiten, kann man das vorteilhafter direkt im Browser machen. Man hat auch dann die vorteile des Sharings und Wiederfindens (tagging).

      Das eigentliche Wissen steckt in den Köpfen der Menschen. Man kann es am besten nur in Gesprächen teilen. Direkte Gespräche sind aus mehreren Gründen nicht immer möglich: * räumliche Distanz * der Zeitaufwand neben der Arbeit ist zu hoch * man geht ja nicht zu den "richtigen" Leuten (die, die das Wissen gebrauchen könnten; diese kennt man u.U. ja auch garnicht) und erzählt denen die neusten Erkenntnisse. Mit Tools, wie Diigo ist es möglich, die eigentliche Lernqualität und -effizienz (aufgrund des Reflektieren und in Bezugsetzen mit existierendem Wissen) zu verbessern und sein Wissen mit anderen zu teilen. Man stellt es im Prinzip in ein Repository und ggf. findet es jemand und kann es nutzen. Im Unternehmen sollte man dafür sorgen, dass es Mechanismen gibt, Wissen zu speichern (z.B. wie bei Diigo über Gruppen und Sharing-Mechanismen) und dass sich Leute für bestimmte Bereiche registrieren können (RSS-Feeds für tags / themen, Gruppen, usw.)

      Diigo ist ein Mashup in dem Sinne, weil man (über das Web Frontend) Chunks von Informationen (Highlights, notes, usw.) zusammenbringen kann zu einer Lerneinheit. Der Vorteil ist, dass man das normalweise mühsam und zeitaufwändig manuell über copy&paste in Dokumente machen müsste, die zusätzlich auch nicht für andere verfügbar wären (und keine Web 2.0 Konzepte wie tagging usw. nutzen würden)
  • Most learning doesn't occur during formal training programs. It happens through processes not structured or sponsored by an employer or a school. Informal learning is the term I use to describe what happens the rest of the time.
  • To truly understand the learning in your organization you might want to recognize the informal learning already taking place and put in practices to cultivate and capture more of what people learn. This includes strategies for improving learning opportunities for everyone and tactics for managing and sharing what you know.

      Informelles lernen wird unbewusst das ganze Leben lang durchgeführt. Ziel ist es jetzt, die Erkenntnisse (das Wissen), das beim informellen Lernen gelernt wird, so abzuspeichern, damit man es besser wieder finden kann, darauf aufbauen kann, und es anderen zur Verfügung stellen kann. Im Unternehmen soll Informelles Lernen unterstützt werden, damit Leute gegenseitig lernen.

  • Often, the most valuable learning takes place serendipitously, by random chance.

  • Formal learning includes the hierarchically structured school system that runs from primary school through the university and organized school-like programs created in business for technical and professional training. Informal learning describes a lifelong process whereby individuals acquire attitudes, values, skills and knowledge from daily experience and the educative influences and resources in his or her environment, from family and neighbors, from work and play, from the market place, the library and the mass media. Intentional learning is the process whereby an individual aims to learn something and goes about achieving that objective. Accidental learning happens when in everyday activities an individual learns something that he or she had not intended or expected.

      there is far more potential with informal accidental learning than any other single type of learning
  • reading journals or magazines, reading book(s), talking with experts, talking with peers, email or other written correspondence, and through a coach or mentor.

      result of a survey, "What is your favorite way to learn outside of formal programs?"
  • "Still think learning means school? Expand your definition of learning to include conversations with your peers and your children, from books, articles, informal networks, Internet searching, television, and what you learn through trial and error. Use everything that happens in your world as a resource to learn more now." Learn More Now, Informally. Marcia L. Conner, May 2005.

What is Informal Learning? - Informal Learning Blog - 0 views

  • People acquire the skills they use at work informally — talking, observing others, trial-and-error, and simply working with people in the know.

      activities of knowledge workers
  • Informal learning is the unofficial, unscheduled, impromptu way most people learn to do their jobs. Informal learning is like riding a bicycle: the rider chooses the destination and the route.

  • Formal learning is like riding a bus: the driver decides where the bus is going;
  • Mature learners, typically a company’s top performers, never show up for the bus. They want pointers that enable them to do things for themselves.
  • Informal learning is a profit strategy. Companies use it to: Improve knowledge worker productivity 20% - 30% Increase sales by Google-izing product knowledge Generate fresh ideas and increase innovation Transform an organization from near-bankruptcy to record profits Reduce stress, absenteeism, and healthcare costs Invest development resources where they will have the most impact Increase professionalism and professional growth Cut costs and improve responsiveness with self-service learning
  • Many a knowledge worker will tell you, “I love to learn but I hate to be trained.”
  • Knowledge workers thrive when given the freedom to decide how they will do what they’re asked to do.
  • Images+words communicate twice as much as words alone. Pictures translate across cultures, education levels, and age groups.
  • This informal, spontaneous, vernacular knowledge sharing is not just for surfers. Imagine having an in-house learning and information environment as rich as the internet. You’d have blogs and search and syndication and podcasts and more. You’d also have a platform just about everyone knows how to use. Some companies are already doing this
  • As work and learning become one, good learning and good work merge to become a single activity.
  • Formal learning takes place in classrooms; informal learning happens in learnscapes.

  • Workers who know more get more accomplished. People who are well connected make greater contributions. The workers who create the most value are those who know the right people, the right stuff and the right things to do.

      Benefits of informal learning
  • At work we learn more in the break room than in the classroom.
  • observing others, asking the person in the next cubicle, calling the help desk, trial and error and simply working with people in the know.

  • Informal learning is effective because it is personal. The individual calls the shots. The learner is responsible. It’s real. How different from formal learning, which is imposed by someone else. Workers are pulled to informal learning; formal learning is pushed at them.
  • Many learners today are not self-directed—they are waiting for directions. It’s time to tell them that the rules have changed. It’s in their self-interest to become proactive learning opportunists.
    • Sebastian Weber
       
      requirements for informal learning
  • Ineffective negative reinforcement. Unmotivated learners. Learner disengagement, unrewarded curiosity, spurned creativity. Training instead of learning. Focus on fixing the individual rather than optimizing the team.
    • Sebastian Weber
       
      Disadvantages of formal learning
  • Provide time for informal learning on the job. Create useful, peer-rated FAQs and knowledge bases. Provide places for workers to congregate and learn. Supplement self-directed learning with mentors and experts. Set up help desks 24x7 for informal inquiries. Build networks, blogs, Wikis and knowledge bases to facilitate discovery. Use smart tech to make it easier to collaborate and network. Encourage cross-functional gatherings.
