    The debate on good content, relevant content, legacy content, and futuristic content will be never-ending. Content relevance and usefulness are two pivotal aspects defining the presence or absence of an effective learning outcome. Let's see how this content comes alive.

    Top 10 Free Content Curation Tools for Teachers Finding educational content in the web is no big deal- but managing it, is. Educational content curation is the art - rather than the act - of sorting out the vast amounts of educational content on the web and organizing them around a specific educational topic in a coherent way. http://elearningindustry.com/top-10-free-content-curation-tools-for-teachers

    Stuck in inflexible pages, much of today's learning material remains trapped in traditional formal vehicles like eLearning courses or presentations. As a result, learning content - and the time and effort that goes into it -is often poorly leveraged. But it doesn't have to be that way.

  • The process began three weeks ago with the course authors drafting and sharing for comment,  a proposed syllabus (using Google docs). In order to maintain consistency each ‘module’ consists of an introduction, 12-15 ‘screens’ of content, a summary, a multiple choice quiz and a list of resources for further exploration. The design model also insists that modules are not cross linked to allow for modular use as learning objects. The Google docs spreadsheet module was employed so the content, and especially the learning outcome of each ‘screen’ is articulated by the author and vetted by the ‘ expert consultant and other members of the development team. Each module is designed to take 60-90 minutes of end user time to complete. Fortunately, Epigeum technicians and media experts will actually create the screens which  (I understand) will make liberal use of video, animation and other multimedia resources. The modules are formatted to meet IMS content packaging standard so that they can ‘eaten up’ and delivered by a variety of LMS (OK make that VLEs, in the UK) delivery systems.

  • 63.6% for the 2002-2003 period. Completion rates for the same courses offered in seminar format (either through synchronous technologies or face-to-face) averaged 86.9% over the same period (Athabasca University, 2003, p.12).
  • Nor do we know how to create and structure collaborative activities within independent study courses so that desirable characteristics of both collaboration and learner pacing can be retained. Further, we know little about demographics, learning styles, attitudes, or lifestyles of students who are more likely to appreciate and participate in collaborative activities at a distance.
  • Face-to-face interviews
  • ...29 more annotations...
  • We also posted invitations on 17 applicable listservs for non-AU faculty to participate in telephone interviews about the topic.
  • Twenty-nine respondents were interviewed by telephone, two sent their replies via email, and one participated through an online audio conference with the help of a translator.

  • cooperative learning, which is somewhere in between, in the spectrum of learning, individual and collaborative learning. Cooperative learning, in my opinion, is to work with others, but you are not really dependent upon their input to complete your assignment or to progress in your studies. You cooperate with other students when they are there, and they can have some input into what you are learning, but you are not really dependent upon them.

      implementation
  • I would write the task in slightly different ways. In individual learning, I would say, ‘Write down your thoughts on this and submit it to your teacher as an email.’ If I wrote it as a cooperative assignment, I would say something like this, ‘Discuss this with a colleague or a peer student. Using this discussion as a background, you should submit your assignment as an email to your teacher.’ If I should write it as the third alternative, collaborative learning, I would say something like this, ‘Contact a peer student and write the assignment together, and submit it as something you have written together to your teacher in an email.’

  • The respondent suggested that interaction need not be student-to-student within a particular course to be beneficial, but could consist of employee-employee or employee-employer interaction. Another respondent noted that a community necessary for lifelong learning has to exist outside of a single structure, stating: “Why should people want to be part of a community? I am not sure that course-based learning, unpaced or paced, is compelling enough to engage the learner in that context because the course is not the thing they are there for - the community is bigger than that.

    Adaptive learning is an innovative personalized learning methodology that uses algorithms, confidence-based assessments, and competency mapping in training and learning. Confidence-based assessments have become popular because they quickly assess the learner's understanding and provide the required remediation immediately. In an adaptive learning course, learners receive the same content, but with a different approach. Content is provided to them based on their confidence level for a topic. The ultimate goal is to help learners achieve mastery over the subject and to save their learning time.

  • Had a core group of either paid or highly motivated contributors • Members workplaces shared much common structural characteristics – similar job requirements, organization etc. • Strong norms of collective behaviour: Members shared common social codes and ‘best practices’ • Trust, affiliation and other affective characteristics were nourished • The network had means to collectively censure inappropriate behaviour • The NOP used an appropriate set of distributed tools to effectively accomplish these goals.
  • ou just start to blog, read blogs and comment on blogs with content related to education and/or learning. But it can be a lonely world if nobody reads your posts. Thus, an aspiring edublogger needs to develop the set of network relationships such that their posts are read and responded to – in essence becoming a full member of the NoP. This is perhaps best accomplished by reading the blogs of others, commenting on them, noting the Blog role listings of other edubloggers that favorite authors are following, reading and responding to and gradually moving into the existing flow. Then, through immersion into the network (caused mostly by allocating  time to read, and  talent to originate and respond) the Edublogger  learns what content is appreciated, commented on and that leads to ongoing discourse

    "A concept map is a way of representing relations between ideas, images or words, in the same way that a sentence diagram represents the grammar of a sentence, a road map represents the locations of highways and towns, and a circuit diagram represents the workings of an electrical appliance. In a concept map, each word or phrase is connected to another and linked back to the original idea, word or phrase. Concept maps are a way to develop logical thinking and study skills, by revealing connections and helping students see how individual ideas form a larger whole.[2] Concept maps were developed to enhance meaningful learning in the sciences. A well made concept map grows within a context frame defined by an explicit "focus question," while a mind map often has only branches radiating out from a central picture. There is research evidence that knowledge is stored in the brain in the form of productions that act on declarative memory content which is also referred to as chunks or propositions [3][4]. Because concept maps are constructed to reflect organization of the declarative memory system, they facilitate sense-making and meaningful learning on the part of individuals who make concept maps and those who use them."

    When it comes to the efficacy of learning, other than course content and instructional design elements, what matters a lot is learner motivation. Well, you cannot control the learners' motivation but you can influence their levels of motivation for sure. You can either motivate the learners to learn or entirely kill their interest. As a learning experience designer, your influence is unlikely to be neutral. In this article, we will look at motivational design and specifically the ARCS model of motivational design.
