Reinventing the LMS Market - Again | 2015-09-28 | CLOmedia - 0 views

  • here has also been an explosion of written content, published in blogs and articles, all generally easy to find and curate with mobile tools, social media and various products that recommend content. This new digital world now offers a veritable ocean of free or nearly free content, often authored by experts, seasoned professionals, business leaders and well-known academics. It’s not a world most traditional learning management systems, or LMS, were designed to manage.
  • struggle to help employees find, manage and track all the new content on the Internet.
  • learning today is often learner-driven.

  • new LMS might be a video learning portal to which anyone can add links, a content aggregation tool, new open learning platforms, or an IT-developed platform that takes existing IT tools and extends them into knowledge management.

ISTE | 6 project-management tips for PBL - 0 views

  • 1. Make a digital home for projects in a learning management system (LMS). This type of digital organizer is somewhat similar to the tools, such as Microsoft Sharepoint, that PMs use in the work world. For class projects, an LMS can act as a container and organizer that supports team communication and collaboration, the project calendar, assignments, polls, journals or blogs, grading, and other resources and materials. The New Tech Network of PBL-focused schools uses a proprietary LMS called Echo. Another PBL-focused platform to consider is Project Foundry. More general LMSs include Schoology, Edmodo and Google Classroom. Chalkup has a rubric builder built into it. Or, if a minimal project organizer will do, consider constructing a wiki. A simple wiki site such as Google Sites or Wikispaces might be all a class needs.

    first tip is to find a digital home for projects in a LMS but it can be as simple as Google Sites or Wikispaces instead of Schoology or Edmodo or Google Classroom. 2. make sure everyone has anytime, anywhere access 3. set your support structures 4. turn the work over to the workers 5. track student progress and offer guidance when needed 6. learn from your mistakes

    Blog by Ben Werdmuller, one of the creators of Known, a new platform designed to encourage connectivist learning. He explains the platform in this blog and why he created it instead of a LMS such as Blackboard that has terrible usability. This is much lower cost and is open source.

  • Learning is on the move. Mobile, social and informal exchanges of information are enhancing or replacing traditional training and course structures.
  • economic pressure is rewarding the creative repurposing of content freely available on the Web and from original sources.
  • For example, the portal may integrate wiki pages to support threaded discussions on a critical topic, link to user profiles to create expert networks and provide access to electronic performance support to enable just-in-time learning.

  • Imagine the value of assessing learning by correlating:• A decrease in plant accidents with an increase in safety training.• An increase in sales with an increase in sales training and collaboration.• An increase in customer satisfaction scores with an increase in performance support for the call center.

    Although written in 2011, it forecasts nicely how LMSs are being revamped/enhanced/integrated with business performance & business transformation. Really it's about boundary management, too, in terms of formal employer led/sponsored training/learning and what employees may learn and apply on their own.

Future of Education 2020 Summit | Internet Time Blog - 0 views

  • It was troubling to hear one person after another lecture about learning more about how people learn whlle violating most of the principles we already know. Aside from the Push format, problems included no hashtag, no Tweeting, no backchannel, no power outlets, inoperable wi-fi (for me, at least), slow wi-fi at the podium cut several presentations short, weak visuals overall, and no encouragement to network online (although many probably already know one another). I don’t know how someone as astute at Peter Norvig could sit through an entire day of this stuff.
  • I didn’t mention my suspicion that STEM dumbs down education. It’s explicit knowledge. Life’s grand lessons are largely tacit. Besides, isn’t STEM often the algorithmic knowledge that robots are going to being doing in a few years?

  •  
    Amazing post by Jane Hart on how L & D professionals are in two camps: traditional "training" leavened with social interactions, mentors, but they are the gatekeepers of knowledge. The other camp is modern workplace learning practitioners--the radicals leaving LMS and authority-driven content provision for performance driven world.
