transfer training

shared by Sharla Lair on 06 Apr 12 - No Cached
  • Notwithstanding the complexities of training, it is indisputable that the true success of training is represented in the learner’s ability to demonstrate what has been learned.
  • Overall learner satisfaction is greater if the training is relevant to the job. In alignment with this idea is the importance goal setting (Gist et al. 1990). Relevant goals intensify the learner’s interest in the tasks at hand, which results in persistence from the learner to reach the goal (Gist et al. 1990).
  • new research has shown peer support as being significantly influential on effects of transfer (Burke & Hutchins, 2008). Peer collaboration, networking, and the sharing of ideas relating to the content can act as support for skill transfer in trainees (Hawley and Barnard, 2005)

  • Provide support for transfer throughout the duration of the transfer process and not solely at specific time phases.
  • Further, incorporate assessment of transfer from trainee, trainer, and the organization’s perspective.

    Good tips on learning transfer. Teach for transfer!

    It is amazing what some libraries lend anymore. There is a library in Missouri that lends cake pans. I have seen some libraries lend power tools, guitars and more!

    Yeah, I've heard of cake pans and tools. Janine actually mentioned that some libraries check out seeds a week or two ago. I think checking out seeds makes more sense. Not to say tools aren't great, but when I think of libraries I think I them sharing and preserving *information*. Seeds are essentially just little packets of information encoded in DNA.
  • Sharla Lair on 28 Mar 12
     
    Especially if the seeds are heirloom. It is a form of curation, if you like. ;)

    This is starting to sound like a science fiction story just waiting to be written.
  • anonymous on 30 Mar 12
     
    I agree about curation. Since we're talking about science fiction now - which inevitably becomes science fact, in the not so distant future we will have desktop biological printers capable of "printing" a seed. Then libraries won't need to keep seed stores, they can just print any seed on demand if they have the DNA on file. Edit: Of course, that just means the e-resource vendors of the future will have another thing to try to license...

    First, I want to see the bib record for the dog (would things like leashes and crates be attached records?). Secondly, I'm sort of reminded of this: http://humanlibrary.org/

    "When not in circulation, the dogs will be kept in a shared exercise area, where they most commonly play poker together." - Well played.
  • Scott Peterson on 27 Apr 12
     
    Lastly, Harvard is also lending dogs now at one of their libraries. This is one of several experiments in lending things other than books (everything from tools to people) but I still question the relevance:

    I was going test out diigo with some Unprofessional Development, but, honestly, the idea of being brave enough fail ambitiously is actually rather inspiring. So, uh, the art of Sparky's - what we should all aspire to sometimes?

    Ambitiously failing is better than cautiously succeeding, as long as it doesn't involve mad scientist stuff.

Forget SOPA, You Should Be Worried About This Cybersecurity Bill | Techdirt - 0 views

cybersecurity

shared by anonymous on 03 Apr 12 - No Cached
  • However, the bill goes much further, permitting ISPs to funnel private communications and related information back to the government without adequate privacy protections and controls. The bill does not specify which agencies ISPs could disclose customer data to, but the structure and incentives in the bill raise a very real possibility that the National Security Agency or the DOD’s Cybercommand would be the primary recipient.
  • And what comes through loud and clear is that the Rogers-Ruppersberger CISPA bill will allow for much greater information sharing of companies sending private communication data to the government -- including the NSA, who has been trying very, very hard to get this data, not for cybersecurity reasons, but to spy on people.

      This is so true. I remember back in the old days of COIN (Columbia Online Information Network). COIN was an ISP that the public library ran. It was free for anyone to use, but if you wanted a decent connection or access to email you had to pay. It was in the days before www. Anyway it was so cool and the perfect example of how libraries were quick to jump on the new tech. I remember seeing the metal and smoked glass cabinet full of modems on the second floor of the old library building out where everyone could see and marvel at it. It had a big sign hanging from the ceiling "COIN".
  • The State of America’s Libraries Report for 2011 notes that library visitation per capita and circulation per capita have both increased in the past 10 years.
  • “In general, libraries embraced the internet right away,” says Raphael. “And not just to provide computers for patrons. They recognized that it became a new tool for librarians.”
  • Scott Peterson on 26 Jul 12
     
    A positive four part blog entry about how libraries are evolving to meet new needs, strengthen communities during bad economic times, and are centers for sharing. Overall I think this article is the most realistic one I've read in some time. It still acknowledges that libraries are doing more with less, and that perceptions of libraries are slow to change.

    Interesting-- this is a very simple sharing site with a Yahoo! Answers/ message board (at least that's what old people who came of age in the 90s like me call it) sort of feel, but I like it. It's straightforward and easy to navigate.

  • Data curation is defined as “the active and ongoing management of data through its lifecycle of interest and usefulness to scholarship, science, and education.” (GSLIS) The volume of scientific data is growing exponentially across all scientific disciplines. This phenomenon has been termed the “data deluge.” The data deluge is now a fundamental characteristic of e-science and “big science,” especially in disciplines such as physics, astronomy, and earth and atmospheric sciences. Moreover, stakeholders are beginning to recognize the value in sharing data assets with each other and in curation of data for re-use over the long term. Competent information professionals are needed to curate this data for future research and education requirements.
  • Jennifer Parsons on 14 Jun 12
     
    After the opening keynote at our conference, this seemed relevant.  I think the need for data curation will become more and more relevant as we move to a paperless society.  Though, given the challenges of what to preserve and how, that day may be long in coming.

      Does this mean that you can set a preference to fill local holds first? I don't really understand these checkin modifiers...
