First Time Visitor's Guide « Experiencing E-Learning - 0 views

  • Building Engaging Learning Experiences through Instructional Design and E-Learning I’m an instructional designer developing online learning, so that’s primarily what I write about. Instructional Design: This is what I do all day, and I’m always trying to learn how to do it better. Higher Ed: The courses I create are graduate courses, so I’m interested in higher education. K-12 Education: The participants in those courses are mostly K-12 educators, so I’m interested in what’s important to my audience too. Corporate E-Learning: Even though I’m in education, I know I can learn a lot from corporate e-learning. Besides, I’m employed by a for-profit company. Lifelong Learning: It didn’t start out to be a goal for my blog, but I’ve discovered that these tools help my own lifelong learning. I write about my discoveries: what works, what doesn’t, what I’m thinking. Technology: I write about technology, especially as it overlaps with any of the above areas. Bookmarks: The Daily Bookmarks Posts are resources I find interesting or useful. You can view and search the complete list of bookmarks on Diigo or del.icio.us. On my Post Series and Recurring Themes page, I’ve collected some popular topics. This includes my liveblogged posts from the TCC 2008 conference and my series on instructional design careers. The top posts in the sidebar to the right are another great place to start reading. If you want to learn more about me, check out my bio.

How Web-Savvy Edupunks Are Transforming American Higher Education - 0 views

  •  
    The architects of education 2.0 predict that traditional universities that cling to the string-quartet model will find themselves on the wrong side of history, alongside newspaper chains and record stores. "If universities can't find the will to innovate and adapt to changes in the world around them," professor David Wiley of Brigham Young University has written, "universities will be irrelevant by 2020."
