TED Conversations was designed and built from the ground up to foster meaningful conversation among the global community who watch, share and discuss TEDTalks.

PLNs were discussed quite a bit at the 2012 ascilite conference. Interesting to think of own PLN as a 'space' for learning.

MOOCs were a major discussion item at the ascilite 2012 conference - http://www.ascilite2012.org/home

July 30-August 1 = a free, online program of webinars, activities, resources, and discussions focused on the transformative elements of MOOCs-connectedness, scale, data, and new models-and IT's role.

Discusses 'learning measurement'. It includes a Course Review Template aimed at measuring how performance focussed the course is. Also, his link to a previous article (The Five failures) is worth a read.

Recognizing the failures of traditional Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL) initiatives to achieve performance improvement, we need to rethink how we design new TEL models that can respond to the learning requirements of the 21st century and mirror the characteristics of knowledge and learning which are fundamentally personal, social, distributed, ubiquitous, flexible, dynamic, and complex in nature. In this paper, we discuss the 3P learning model; a vision of learning characterized by the convergence of lifelong, informal, and personalized learning within a social context. The 3P learning model encompasses three core elements: Personalization, Participation, and Knowledge-Pull. We then present the social software supported learning framework as a framework that illustrates the 3P learning model in action, based on Web 2.0 concepts and social software technologies.
