The Ideal Length for All Online Content - 1 views

  •  
    "I dug around and found some answers for the ideal lengths of tweets and titles and everything in between. Many of these could have been answered with "it depends," but where's the fun in that? Solid research exists to show the value of writing, tweeting, and posting at certain lengths. We can learn a lot from scientific social media guidelines like these. Here's the best of what I found."

A Brief History of the Power of Pull - HBR - 0 views

  • mechanism by which this shift in power from institutions to individuals would take place. We now know that mechanism is pull.
  • Pull allows each of us to find and access people and resources when we need them, while attracting to us the people and resources that are relevant and valuable
  • Employers that fail to provide sufficient professional development opportunities for their employees. These companies will lose their most talented workers to more magnetic organizations that provide better chances for learning and growth.

  • As each of us votes with our feet and allies ourselves with new generations of institutions, we’ll abandon the old ones, leaving them to drift into obsolescence and setting in motion a reshaping of broad arenas of economic and civic life.
  • communities of practice to drive learning and performance improvement. Once again, deep personal relationships were a key to driving capability building. In addition to those essential relationships, it’s key that members of this community represent diverse backgrounds–critical for the creative tension that often arises from confronting different points of view. We’ve found through our years of research and writing that this mix greatly increases the potential for innovation.

    Wonderful explanation of the power of pull and its exploration in books written by John Hagel III, John Seely Brown (Social Life of Information author among many other foundational books), and Lang Davison (former director of Deloitte Center for the Edge and editor-in-chief of the McKinsey Quarterly). Endorses community of practice and "socially embedded practice in driving knowledge creation and performance improvement." From April 9, 2010

What All Flourishing Creative Environments Need - The Curious Creative - 0 views

  • CHOICE, RESPONSIBILITY and RESPECT
  • Why does your desk have wheels? Think of those wheels as a symbolic reminder that you should always be considering where you could move yourself to be more valuable. But also think of those wheels as literal wheels, because that’s what they are, and you’ll be able to actually move your desk with them.
  •  
    Love this blog post by Tom Barrett that cites Valve Corporation, an American video creation company that encourages innovation--uses the metaphor of desks with wheels to enable people to use their "open allocation" time to do the most important work and contribute the most--similar to the law of two feet

Privacy Versus The 'Tyranny Of The Algorithm' - 0 views

  • A recent study looked at more than 500,000 tweets about depression, took 4,000 tweets that mentioned a diagnosis or medication, and followed those Twitter users in order to create an app that predicts suicide. This use of tweets crosses a line, Peel said. "This is far more intrusive" than standard data-gathering from social media.
  • Medical data is also valuable to criminals
  • Criminals are after electronic medical records, as well as prescriptions and insurance information to pay for their own medical expenses or to acquire prescription drugs illegally.

  • But emerging and evolving tools give us the opportunity to engage with our learners in new ways, to help move us toward making workplace learning more a process and less an event. Consider where you have needs to extend the reach of a course, or stay in touch with alumni or people in particular work areas or job categories. Look for staff whose schedules, locations, and job titles keep them from live experiences, and see if you can identify ways to include them. Chances are there are easy ways of solving a problem, enriching conversations, and making L&D’s work more visible and valuable.

Using an ESN for social learning (upcoming social online workshop) | Learning in the So... - 0 views

  • This is not a traditional course, where I provide all the content and then test you on it! It is a social experience hosted in a private Yammer group, where each week you are invited to work on a practical activity and then share your thoughts and your work with the rest of the group. Nothing is compulsory, but you will find that the more you “work out loud” with the other participants, the more you will get out of the workshop. Even showing “raw” examples of your work is valuable for others to see, it doesn’t have to be a perfect product. And of course, it is also helpful to comment on each others work as well as consider how their ideas might work within your own organisation. You will probably want to commit a couple of hours a week for this workshop, but once again it is up to you how much time you devote to it, and also when you do the work.

  • Those platforms that don’t help participants to learn faster and faster as they work together will tend to be marginalized over time, especially once learning platforms become more prevalent. And this also applies to the participants. If we choose to participate on platforms that are not explicitly driven to accelerate learning, we’ll learn at a slower rate than participants who choose to spend their time on learning platforms.
  • But, the fourth category of platform offers a second level of network effect, one that is uniquely associated with that platform.
  • If you only have one fax machine, it has negative value – you paid money for it and it does nothing.
  • The more fax machines that are connected, the more valuable each fax machine becomes.
  • What if each fax machine acquired more features and functions as it connected with more fax machines? What if its features multiplied at a faster rate as more fax machines joined the network? N
  • That’s the potential of learning platforms.
