  • such as the images posted above. Artifacts can include a blog post, an image, a video, a podcast, a live performance
  • basically anything that allows an individual to express how they’ve come to understand something
  • 2. They are a sensegiving tool.

      Sensegiving (coherence expression) tools
  • These artifacts serve two roles
  • 1. They reflect the sensemaking activity that the individual has experienced
  • how he came to understand the relationship between different entities
  • Through joint processes of sensemaking and wayfinding – see presentation below – learners begin exploring and negotiating the domain of knowledge. In the process, they produce artifacts
  • When learners are transparent in their learning through the production and sharing of artifacts, they teach others
  • Sensemaking artifacts are valuable in that
  • “if we designed education today, what would it look like?”
  • Would it look like our existing classrooms?
  • Textbooks? Libraries? Or would it look more like the internet?
  • What roles would teachers play? Or learners?
  • What would “teaching” look like
  • our current education system?
  • digital technologies change how people relate to each other and how information is created and shared
  • These trends influence the power structures in classroom or online settings
  • on the learner:
  • power change
  • requiring both educators and institutions to rethink what they do for her and what she can do for herself
  • Sensemaking artifacts reflect this power shift
  • learners can self-organize and guide each other, rather than simply walking established knowledge paths created by educators and designers
  • Each artifacts serves to “re-centre” the conversation around the sensemaking actions of learners
  • In this regard,
  • sensemaking artifacts are in competition with the planned curriculum (learning content)
  • sensemaking artifacts are another node in the learning model that distributes control and power away from the institution and the teacher and moves it (power/control) into the networks formed by students.

    Magnífica referencia, relativa al proceso de generación de significado y la forma de alcanzarlo. Relación estrecha con el proceso PKM (harold Jarche; 'seek-sense-share'), así como del modelo cynefin de David Snowden). Muy interesante la inclusión de una presentación slideshare de Georges Siemens, relativa al tema, y que provoca el posting que se referencia (en el contexto del curso MOOC sobre 'learning analytics)

Coaching informal learning « Learning Journal - 0 views

  • what is needed for an informal learning strategy to be effective in the workplace
  • Motivation for learning. >  A culture that provides access to other people who support learning in a wide variety of ways >  Easy access to materials that support learning >  Skills in utilizing electronic tools to manage learning. 
  • I think I’ve landed on another important ingredient… a learning coach
  • ...9 more annotations...
  • Informal learning - by definition – requires a learner to set his or her own goals and to monitor progress toward those goals.
  • So the next step in the learning process is for the learner to come up with some kind of strategy for learning
  • A good coach pushes a learner to set challenging goals and to define clear strategies for meeting them.
  • A good coach sometimes teaches and often provides feedback on progress.  A good coach asks tough questions to help a learner reflect on and apply learning.  And a good coach applauds progress and takes some pride in the coachee’s accomplishments.
  • Who are these coaches?
  •  For workplace learning
  • the coach-learner relationship
  • we are all responsible for our own learning, including finding (or being) our own learning coach.
  • I hope I can be both a better learning coach and a better self-directed learner.

Learnlets » Formalizing informal learning? - 0 views

  • The Entreprise Collaborative has a new question, asking whether we can formalize informal learning.  I have to say, I don’t get the question.  That is, I understand what they’re asking, and like the response they give, but I really think it’s the wrong question. To me, it’s not about formalizing informal learning so much as explicitly supporting it versus ignoring it. 
  • To me, it is more a matter of providing infrastructure to support informal learning, and facilitating informal learning as well.
  • When I talk about providing infrastructure, I’m talking about putting in place tools that can be used for informal learning. 
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • One is optimizing the tool use, and the other is facilitating the associated skills
  • the facilitation of that informal learning.  I see two roles.
  • The second role is to develop individual ability to use the tools for learning, both independently and socially.  To repeat a regular refrain, don’t assume the ability of learners to be effective self- and social-learners.  There are specific meta-cognitive skills that should be made explicit, promoted, and supported.
  • In the process of facilitating, you may find opportunities to add value by taking some information and formalizing it

  • Even the mainstream training field is realizing that reduced layers of bureaucracy mean decision-making gets pushed down the organization chart. This
  • is the message of the AMA in the promotional video – Critical Thinking: Not just a C-suite skill.  However, wirearchy takes this one important step further by advocating a two-way flow of power and authority. In both cases, the need for critical thinking is evident.
  • A personal knowledge management process can help to develop critical thinking skills, where sense-making includes observing, studying, challenging (especially one’s assumptions), and evaluating. Developing these skills takes practice, appropriate feedback and an environment that supports critical thinking.
  • ...15 more annotations...
  • Several web tools can be used to develop critical thinking skills; the foundation of PKM:
  • Wirearchy as the organizational framework, coupled with active personal knowledge management processes, is a step in that direction
  • how important an open source framework is as we move more of our computing to the cloud
  • issues on how Ning treats its customers, users and their data.
  • While Ning may be free, it is not open source, and the company can make changes at will, just like Facebook, Google or Twitter may do.
  • I advise my clients that they should consider how important their data is to them before using software as a service (SaaS). Can the data be easily exported? With social bookmarks, it is easy to export and import OPML files from one platform to another. It is also simple to export from WordPress.com SaaS to your own open source hosted version
  • With Ning, Facebook and many others, there is no such export function
  • So what is the alternative to Ning?
  • For large enterprise projects I have used Drupal as a community management platform and it works well, though it requires solid technical support.
  • Elgg, an open source social networking platform that attracted me because of its unique underlying mode
  • The key differentiator of Elgg is that the individual is the centre of all the action
  • This is real user control
  • The Elgg platform has matured in the past six years and has a strong community and a solid product (v. 1.7).
  • One major advantage of Elgg will be the ability to take your data and have it hosted elsewhere.
  • Supporting communities like Elgg and Drupal means that we can have more control over our use of web technologies. As business and education move to the web and the cloud, open-source platforms will help to ensure that some corporate board doesn’t decide our future for us.

Creating Value from Social Learning - 0 views

  • Social learning — namely, the use of social media in the workplace to foster learning, collaboration, networking, knowledge sharing, and communications — has taken on a kind of religious fervor among learning practitioners during the past couple years. 
  • And not without good reason: It often creates more powerful and enduring learning experiences; it helps people establish and leverage social connections to accelerate the distribution and sharing of experiences, content and guidance; and it allows learners to be more productive, learn faster and work smarter.
  • Value Creation from social learning is more likely to take place when the business context and the learning ecosystem are “optimal.
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • The Business Context: What sort of influencers in the business context will encourage and help maintain an optimal learning ecosystem?
  • The (Learning) Ecosystem: What sort of influencers in the learning ecosystem will create an effective social learning system?
  • Value Creation: What sort of value creation comes from an optimal business context and learning ecosystem?
  • How “healthy” is your business context and learning ecosystem ? Is social learning creating value in your organization ? Would you like to assess the influencers of social learning and determine how to create more value?
  • a diagnostic tool
  • The diagnostic tool kit has two parts.  The first part is an online survey that captures information about the business context.  Each organization participating in the study is required to complete one business context survey.  The second part is an online survey for employees. 
  • All responses are anonymous and results are not traceable back to individuals.
