Elearning makes sense economically and logistically It is the cheapest way to get a clear, consistent message to the most people in the least amount of time. For those of us working with clients in IT or healthcare, what better way to educate workers on the use of technology than to use technology to do the job? We've been using elearning to train workers across all industries in some skills, particularly manufacturing line workers in processes or transactional workers in soft skills. But this trend is accelerating and spreading beyond line workers and manufacturing workers on the floor, and now reaches to the upper echelons of the corporate hierarchy. Today, we are using many elearning modalities to educate, inform and transform at all levels of the organization - webinars, online courses, videos, e-modules, pdfs, list servs - the list goes on and on and on. Any type of computer-based learning from your laptop, your iPad or your smart phone, anything you can grab from the web, download, participate in virtually, log onto or phone into, is elearning. As one particular case in point, healthcare workers in all phases of the industry from surgeons to receptionists are being asked to change their work processes to seamlessly incorporate the use of information technology to provide better patient care. It only makes sense that one of the ways to migrate these workers to the effective use of technology is to also educate them using those same tools.

Trends in Learning Technologies to Watch in 2013 Social/Informal Learning, Mobile Learning, Video - these three items have been "hot" for several years now, both in education and the corporate sector. Many are excited about them but the adoption of them has been slower than predicted. Barriers include cost, technology issues still not resolved, confusion about the differences between formal and informal learning, design factors, cultural factors, concerns about security, etc. http://elearningindustry.com/subjects/general/item/423-trends-learning-technologies-2013

I am preparing a presentation on the future of e-learning for HE education. Any suggestions on best technologies? What do you think will be here in 5 years and has a good pedagogical basis? David Goodman said: What does the future learning technologies look like for the northerm hemisphere vs the southern? West vs East? rich vs poor? A polticial question - does everyone wish that others have an improved learning experience? Education is an economic, job unemployment, citizen compliance, conformance, etc. issue. Having left my soapbox of babble - I would like to see a visual, immersive board that is haptic and responsive to my learning whims. My learning world will change as I touch a topic, reference, picture, sound, etc - that may all be related or not.I would like to become a hologram sitting in a virtual environment listening and seeing Homer with discussions going on with many others who debate him on his philosophy as it pertains to us today. Dreaming is OK with me.

Teach Students How to Be Their Own Teachers! As I write these words, hundreds of non-profits and entrepreneurs are busy in their studies or garages, developing new educational resources designed to reach large numbers of students across the global village. Those resources-- and their accessibility, will make it possible for kids to teach themselves. Whether is design married to technology, or brilliant teachers reaching the minds and souls of their students, those things gain power when they are made accessible through cloud technology. Now a Multitude of Educators Can Reach Millions of Students The cloud brings students to the teachers, but it also brings teachers to the students. More teachers can reach out to students than ever before. And the students can now learn from a multitude of teachers and mentors, not only in the classroom, but everywhere that they go. For the first time in history, cloud technology makes learning truly accessible to students--not only in the classroom, but also just about everywhere else on the planet.

vAcademia is a virtual world for education. Here you can learn, here you can teach. vAcademia has everything you need for effective classes and lectures: convenient classrooms, interactive whiteboards with presentation tools, text and audio communication, and web camera support. The key advantage of vAcademia over other worlds is its option to record classes. This advantage is based on an original technological feature - 3D recording, which allows creating a new type of content that comprise both space and time. This type of content can be called 'virtcast' - a 3D recording of activities in virtual reality or a series of such recordings.

A friend of mine has a kid with special needs. So he asked "how can I help my children learn?" "What the eLearning Industry is doing for children with special needs?" These were taught questions and as you can understand I begun the research. While I begun my research I saw the TCEA. What is the TCEA. The TCEA (Texas Computer Education Association) is dedicated to the improvement of teaching and learning through the use of computers and technology. Nice mission statement I can say. The awesome thing about TCEA was the iPad Apps and Resources for Teachers, where I found an amazing list with iPad Apps for children with special needs.
