5 Nonprofit Technology Trends to Watch in 2014 - 0 views

  •  
    From Nonprofit Tech for Good blog, 1/11/14 Interesting to see how this list meshes with the list from 2015 from the business and not for profit side. Top of the list is mobilizing online communications and fundraising campaigns. Although not free and costly to small not for profits, social media and responsive designs for websites, blogs, and e-newsletters will become common. Flat design - making sure everything is optimal for mobile is crucial. Donate buttons on social media sites. Google Wallet will be integrated into Google+ pages. Already on YouTube Channels that participate in YouTube's nonprofit program. Live reporting on social media of org events, maturation of mobile fundraising apps, and increased employment opportunities in new media jobs in the nonprofit sector are the other 2014 trends.

    article written by Jason Forsythe for participating advertisers in the NYT, 2004.

Learning Matters: Learning Can Be a Slippery Slope - ETR - 0 views

  • There are three key concepts to put in place once you believe in and acknowledge that “the Dip” is real. Learners must go through the Dip for true learning to take place. In other words, this is part of a normal change process. Both trainers and learners need to own it, embrace it and plan for it. Change is a process, not an event. We have all heard this one before, but do we apply it appropriately? (Hint: Those of you using the PowerPoint osmosis technique, or using a one-time only event to promote learning—stop it!) Learners can survive the Dip. To survive the Dip (or chasm, as the case may be), here are three very important steps learners must consider: Expect it. Name it. Build in support.

A Family-Friendly Policy That's Friendliest to Male Professors - The New York Times - 0 views

  • They have advanced the careers of male economists, often at women’s expense
  • The central problem is that employment policies that are gender-neutral on paper may not be gender-neutral in effect.
  • Succeed within seven years and you have a job for life. Fall short, and you’re fired.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • The policies led to a 19 percentage-point rise in the probability that a male economist would earn tenure at his first job. In contrast, women’s chances of gaining tenure fell by 22 percentage points. Before the arrival of tenure extension, a little less than 30 percent of both women and men at these institutions gained tenure at their first jobs. The decline for women is therefore very large.
  • They found that men who took parental leave used the extra year to publish their research, amassing impressive publication records. But there was no parallel rise in the output of female economists.
  • ng birth is not a gender-neutral event,” recalling that during her pregnancy, “I threw up every day.” She argued, “Policies that are neutral in the eyes of a lawyer are not neutral in fact.”
  • Better policies could help economics — not to mention the sciences and other fields — look like less of a boys’ club.
  • Three female economists have shown that the tools of economics — which enable a careful assessment of incentives and constraints informed by real-world data — suggest that a more nuanced policy would lead to better outcomes. It leaves me wondering how many other policy mistakes we could avoid, if only we had more female economists.

The InnovationLab: Exploring the Possibility of Self-Directed Learning | Connected Lear... - 2 views

  •  
    rationale and components for WL Studio?
  •  
    This is phenomenal. Thank you. YES! If we begin with the components of Notice, Dream, Connect and Do, we are well on our way to a viable leadership project.What have we noticed, what do we dream, what other connections can we make, what will we do about what we noticed? I have noticed that, like the young woman on the video, many do not know where their passions lie. I have noticed that women (and men) experience horrible events in their professional lives and they have little support. I have noticed we have so many directions in which we can go, and it would be helpful for us to find a direction that suits us.

    Even if you've never purchased Mifeprex, the abortion pill that turns 10 years old this week, you've seen the logo. At a yoga studio, in the supermarket's natural foods aisle, or even at a charity event, the silhouette of a dancing woman has become the marker of a product designed for women.

Make Cycles - CLMOOC 2015 - 0 views

  • On Monday, Make Cycle leaders will publish a Newsletter announcing the theme of the cycle and sharing some related ideas and resources. Make Cycle leaders will then plan and facilitate a Make with Me live broadcast event on Tuesday evening which will be archived for later viewing. Make Cycle leaders will host a Twitter chat on Thursday evening to support reflection and discussion. All chats will also be archived. Then a second Newsletter toward the end of the week will prompt the community to reflect on their creations, highlight some of what’s been seen and made, and surface connections to the Connected Learning principles. Make Cycles are open-ended invitations. When in doubt, make, play, connect and learn in community.

Show Your Work: The Payoffs of Working and Learning Out Loud - the Learning and Skills ... - 0 views

  •  
    Upcoming workshop by Jane Bozarth on working out loud, December 19, 2014, online. When you ask, What does learning look like? no one answers, Someone talking in front of a room. We learn by doing, and by telling what we're doing, and by watching others do things, and by showing others how we did something. Narrating work can solve so many problems for both organizations and individuals, from capturing tacit knowledge, to easing transitions when workers depart, to reducing duplication of effort, to further enabling informal and social learning. What does it look like, and how can Training & Development (T&D) help it happen?

Employee Training Isn't What It Used To Be - IBM - The Atlantic Sponsor Content - 0 views

  • In Axonify’s platform, assessment and training are directly tied together. Because many employees use Axonify regularly, the platform is able to constantly track employee knowledge and intelligently provide the information needed to close an employee’s individual knowledge gap, says Leaman. The app also leverages learning research to optimize retention by repeating the questions in specific time intervals. Even after an employee “graduates” out of a specific topic, the questions will still be revisited about seven months later to help lock in the knowledge.
  • Tin Can, on the other hand allows companies and employees to record more common learning events: attending a session at a conference, say, or researching and writing a company blog post. “Companies are starting to recognize how employees actually learn and allowing them to do it the way they wish to, rather than forcing them into a draconian system,” Martin says.

  • IBM has found that employees learn and retain more when they’re working socially.
