The model is based on a large degree of self motivation and is reliant on learners being able to manage both their own learning and able to develop their own support networks. This is a pretty big limitation.

not sure I agree with it being a limitation, but rather a focus on learning.

One of the less successful experiments seems to be attempts to integrate VLEs, especially Moodle, within MOOCs.(was My experience with LAK11)

Once configured, the system is then able to generate stories at scale without any further human intervention.

anyone else have a problem with this?

-
For any pool of data, there are always going to be multiple stakeholders, and they should each be receiving their own targeted messaging.
-
But the last mile has to be the Story; the Story that communicates what is happening in the world, and what needs to be done to fix the problems and exploit the opportunities that analysis exposes
-
Data alone isn't the answer. In fact, from a business perspective, the data is still part of problem. Insight is the answer, which is derived from the data.

Can also probably use Diigo to do something similar (e.g., via public sticky notes). Always wonder if that's rude though...you don't give the Moodling person (who might not be using Diigo or the annotation tool) the oppt to respond.
Nuts and Bolts: How to Evaluate e-Learning by Jane Bozarth : Learning Solutions Magazine - 3 views
-
The linearity and causality implied within the taxonomy (for instance, the assumption that passing a test at Level 2 will result in improved job performance at Level 3) masks the reality of transferring training into measurable results. Many factors enable — or hinder — the transfer of training to on-the-job behavior change, including support from supervisors, rewards for improved performance, culture of the work unit, issues with procedures and paperwork, and political concerns
-
Robert Brinkerhoff takes a systems view of evaluation of training, believing it should focus on sustained performance rather than attempting to isolate the training effort:

as I attempted to raise during LAK11, intent is critical. If LAK is primarily accountability driven, then more complex outcomes available IF questioning of data is deeper, may be missed (or ignored/buried/not sought)

Among other things, the system will report such factors as research expenditures, publications, teaching evaluations, and external support.

myschool is already developing into such a site. Insightful LAK, with holistic intention, not narow agendas, is preferable. Metrics, data, inclusions and questions need bipartisan support IF education is to be apolitical.
