  • Something I am trying to get a handle on in my dissertation has to do with communication (and communication formats) that are imposed on a group/team and those in which groups or teams are able to develop their own forms and forms of communication. What I found is that a team might have “hidden” communication, withholding from some, developing different spaces and different &nbsp;levels of access to various members, depending on the task. Where would that come into your framework? Harold Jarche , on February 11th, 2010 at 19:32 Said: Good question.

    An earlier blog by Harold Jarche referring to Lillie Efimova's work. Note how structure/goal oriented moves over to informal/opportunity-driven network with personal drivers taking over. Perhaps most MCNC groups reside in the opportunity-driven, informal networking place--not so much coordination but cooperation keeps them together, weakly? Has an impact also on facilitator's role.

    Blog post about her company/community, Powerful Learning Practice, on the blog Connected Educators, posted Dec 18 2011.

    Many of the ideas here -- specifically those around engagement and various assessments/measures of success -- seem akin to KPI's own findings. Interesting project and interview.

Investigations of e-learning patterns : context factors, problems, and solutions - 0 views

  •  
    By Christian Kohls (Knowledge Media Research Center, Germany); Joachim Wedeknd (Knowledge Media Research Center, Germany), Hershey, PA: Information Science Reference. 2011. Design patterns have become popular in the domains of architecture, software design, human computer interaction, Web 2.0, organizational structures, and pedagogy as a way to communicate practical knowledge. Patterns capture proven solutions for recurrent problems with respect to fitting context. This publication addresses both e-learning practitioners and researchers, using an accessible language to communicate sophisticated knowledge and important research methods and results.

Harold Jarche » Increased complexity needs simplified design - 0 views

  • As Jay has said, informal learning is a better approach for more complex environments. Given the above, here are some guidelines for what informal learning development could look like: Spend less time on design and more on ongoing evaluation to allow emergent practices to be developed. Build learning resources so that they can be easily changed or modified by anyone (allow for a hacker mentality) Allow everything to be connected, so that the work environment is the learning environment (but look for safe places to fail) There is no clearly defined start or finish so enable connections from multiple access points. Information is no longer scarce and our connections are now many. If an organizational informal learning effort lets people connect more easily and communicate more effectively, then it will have a chance of success. Connecting &amp; Communicating are central roles for organizational leaders whose workplaces are becoming more complex, either in terms of evolving practices, changing markets or advances in technology. Enabling the integration of collaborative learning with work is a more flexible model than designing courses that are outdated as soon as they’re published.

    This is a good intro/rationale to have people work in a supportive, online setting to get a sense of what it is like to work on something meaningful without resorting to a workshop or lecture about the benefits of communities of practice.

Teaching at Nottingham: Staff perspectives on practice from across the University - 0 views

  •  
    Published by the University of Nottingham (UK). This site is a "continually updated collection of peer-reviewed academic development resources...[ranging from] "2-5 minute videos [to] 500-1000 word texts...." There are a variety of entry points to access the materials, ranging from discipline areas (on this page) to themes (see Teaching & Learning themes at the top). I also like the Guest editor block (this page, lower left), where a faculty member writes a brief editorial and selects resources of interest.
