A new year has just begun, but while time passes by our educational system keeps standing still. Your kids are still learning the same way you did 20-30 years ago, because they are still in a classroom with books.

Creating a Learning Ecosystem - Why Blended Learning is Now Inadequate - 0 views
-
Unlike a traditional blended learning environment where those who learn are fed from one source, a learning ecosystem balances those organisms (people) with the environment (organization, culture, tools).
-
what is the difference between blended learning and creating a learning ecosystem? Blended learning takes on the funnel mentality. All knowledge must funnel through the learning department’s people, systems, processes, packages and must be measured in standard ways as it goes through. If it does not route and measure in these ways it is out of our circle of influence. In a learning ecosystem the environment is created so that learning just happens. It is a part of work rather than separate from it. It includes traditional blended learning when appropriate (for each piece does not lose its significance) but the funnel, for the most part, is gone.

Originating in the world of computer-based delivery (CBT) systems, learning objects were depicted as being like lego blocks or atoms, little bits of content that could be put together or organized. Standards bodies have refined the concept of learning objects into a rigorous form and have provided specifications on how to sequence and organize these bits of content into courses and package them for delivery as though they were books or training manuals

In learning, these trends are manifest in what is sometimes called "learner-centered" or "student-centered" design. This is more than just adapting for different learning styles or allowing the user to change the font size and background color; it is the placing of the control of learning itself into the hands of the learner [5].
