    By Sara Sutton Fell, CEO of FlexJobs.com. Her take on the status of Job Boards today. She has 3 observations: Boards have changed, job postings haven't and need to be updated; big box job boards focus on volume, smaller niche job boards on a refined pool of potential applicants; ATS/RMS keep candidates and hiring managers apart. New technologies such as gaming used by Marriott may erase this.

    This paper written by George Siemens in 2008 on Learning in Networks raises issues very similar to those we are raising in our discussion at CPSquare. This paper also has implications for how the Women's Learning Studio is launched into practice in its discussion of teacher as learning atelier, concierge, etc. Google Scholar, Scopus, and open access journals offer increased access to academic resources; an extension to more informal approaches such as regular internet search and Wikipedia. Social software (blogs, wikis, social bookmarking, instant messaging, Skype, Ning) provide opportunities for learners to create, dialogue about, and disseminate information. But what becomes of the teacher? How do the practices of the educator change in networked environments, where information is readily accessible? How do we design learning when learners may adopt multiple paths and approaches to content and curriculum? How can we achieve centralized learning aims in decentralized environments? This paper will explore the shifting role of educators in networked learning, with particular emphasis on curatorial, atelier, concierge, and networked roles of educators, in order to assist learners in forming diverse personal learning networks for deep understanding of complex fields.

  • Networking will matter even more for job hunters. Employee referrals, job search engines and company career sites have caught up with job boards as employer's top picks for interviewing and hiring new workers. That means job hunters are better off working their online or real-life connections to find an in at a company they want to work for rather than scouring job board listings. When you apply or submit a résumé, include all the keywords that describe your skills and experiences, since companies that use applicant-tracking software match them against job descriptions.
  • The popularity of online video has led to companies switching how they offer training and career development, replacing in-person classes with on-demand curriculum that people can tune in when it suits their schedules, including on their phones.
  • Accenture is one company that has reconfigured learning and development to lean less on campus-based classes and more on on-demand, customized training on topics employees can choose based on their interests, not necessarily something their boss wants them to learn. I

  • NPTimes foresees a surge in new training programs and certification opportunities, as well as nonprofits moving towards offering education to the general public to generate revenue.
  • Separate tasks that can legitimately be delegated to competent volunteers as their only role
  • Volunteers, however, can be advocates. They can speak out and be heard in more effective ways because (most of the time) they do not personally benefit from the outcome.
  • Marching and public protest are core activist tactics. But, the true potential for volunteerism is that many people are looking for how they can have a voice and affect decisions to come.

What if August were also Women's e-Quality month? or Women's Webquality Month? August 26 is Women's Equality Day . . . something to think about for next year? Wonder which women's organizations might bite and support such an event.

    Very interesting experiment to allow six months of MOOC work to be used in admissions to MIT instead of transcripts of performance from schools that are unknown/untested. If MIT will allow MOOC accomplishment to satisfy entry-credentialing, what about employers?

  • About two million people a day now use Slack, mainly to chat with others at work. On Tuesday, the company is unveiling a couple of initiatives that will add new capabilities to the system. The first is an app store that will let developers of business software more easily plug their programs into Slack. Together with its investors, the company is also creating an $80 million fund to invest in apps that can be integrated with Slack.

  • They propose a model in which students gain first-exposure learning prior to class and focus on the processing part of learning (synthesizing, analyzing, problem-solving, etc.) in class.
  • To ensure that students do the preparation necessary for productive class time, Walvoord and Anderson propose an assignment-based model in which students produce work (writing, problems, etc.) prior to class. The students receive productive feedback through the processing activities that occur during class, reducing the need for the instructor to provide extensive written feedback on the students’ work. Walvoord and Anderson describe examples of how this approach has been implemented in history, physics, and biology classes, suggesting its broad applicability.

  • Since his inauguration, the Justice Department has reversed the previous administration’s efforts to uphold voting rights, served as an impediment to police reform, and weighed in against same-sex rights. It’s an agenda breathtaking in its scope.
  • Many Trump supporters believe themselves to be losing their country, something that leads them to prefer a social milieu more consistent with days gone by — one in which primarily white, middle- and upper-class, heterosexual, native-born men reigned supreme.
  • Moreover, in 2016, in Fisher v. University of Texas at Austin, the Supreme Court ruled that for the sake of diversity, race can be one of many criteria used by a college as part of a more holistic means of evaluating applicants.
