Modernize Corporate Training: The Enterprise Learning Framework | - 0 views

  • In the mid 1990s we entered what I call the “blended and informal learning” era.  Organizations realized that “e-learning” was not as all-powerful as we once imagined, and the concepts of blended learning began.   Many companies actually “reopened” and “reinvested” in their classroom programs again.  I wrote The Blended Learning Book in 2004 and it continues to be highly relevant today.   As organizations adopted more and more blended learning concepts and the internet became more widely available, we realized that the many of original concepts of e-learning (replacing instructor led training) were incorrect:  what we really needed to do was create a “new” learning experience on the web, one which included both formal (structured) programs as well as a wide variety of informal (unstructured) forms of content.  
  • Google, of course, forced this evolution upon us.  Employees and young workers, used to “googling” any problem they wanted to solve, no longer wanted to sit through long, formal online programs unless they were very entertaining.  Today, in fact, according to Basex research published in May of this year, 28% of all employee work is wasted by people multi-tasking between email, google, and various other forms of “informal learning.”  The same research also found that the average employee visits 45 websites every day!

  • This pattern of behavior (and availability of technology), of course, has been further enhanced by the availability of social networking, which led us to the fourth phase shown above.  Today’s employee has access to formal training, overwhelming amounts of other information, and actual human beings online.  Adding this all together, the corporate learning landscape has undergone a dramatic change.  Now, when someone needs to “learn” something, we must consider the various ways they can gain these skills or information:  they can go to a class, they can take an online course, they can look up support information on the web, they can read a book, or they can find someone who knows what to do and get help.  And we, as L&D professionals, must “formalize” this informal learning environment and make sure we align our investments toward talent management and the needs to build deep levels of skill.
  • This shift has created tremendous challenges for the corporate training department.  Our research shows that 68% of knowledge workers now feel that their biggest learning problem is an “overwhelming volume of information.”   This information exists in many formats, it is often out of date, and they are not sure how to find what they need.  In some sense the need for “formal” training is greater than ever (you can make sure you get the right information presented in the right way).  Yet in fact, now corporate training professionals must grapple with a whole new set of issues:  how do I create a complete “learning environment” (not a learning program) which supports this new world of formal and informal learning?
  • And the shift has impacted our profession as well.  Our research members now tell us that the biggest help they need is not in developing new content, but rather building the organizational learning culture and understanding the new skills and disciplines they need to be effective.
  • As you can see, the framework is multi-faceted.   If you would like to walk through it in detail, I encourage you to read our in-depth whitepaper.  Briefly, the framework has six main areas:   Learning Programs (the solution-oriented training solutions you deliver), Audiences and Problems (a clear segmentation of your audiences and their specific needs), Learning Approaches (the four ways in which learning solutions are developed and delivered), Learning Disciplines (the things you as an L&D professional must now know to stay current in this area), Tools & Technology (the vast array of technology you can rely on to build and deliver these solutions),  and Learning Culture (the underlying business processes, management processes, and talent management programs which support enterprise learning).

About GlobalCampus | GlobalCampus - 0 views

  • What is GlobalCampus? GlobalCampus connects young people with universities around the world to help them find the best opportunities for their future, wherever located.
  • How does it work? GlobalCampus is an online community: students and institutions can create a profile and connect. Student profiles work like CVs. Students can indicate the schools they have attended, their personal achievements, their aspirations and their preferred destinations to study. They can also add sample works and videos to present themselves and their interests. University profiles are generated directly by a university’s community - staff, faculty, current students and alumni. They feature both subjective information, like articles and presentation videos, and objective information, like admission requirements and course synopses. On GlobalCampus students can express their talent to receive offers from universities around the world, while universities can communicate their best assets to tudents in any country.
  • What are the next steps? We are now working on adding scholarship providers, so that once registered a student will know also where there are funds available for her. (Did you know that every year hundreds of millions of dollars worth of scholarships go unclaimed? Thousands of people are eligible to receive financial aid to study somewhere in the world right now, but they simply don’t know about it. We would like to change that).

  • What inspires GlobalCampus? GlobalCampus is a social enterprise built with the primary objective of helping people around the world find their best opportunities for education. We like the idea that you can help social change from grassroots through self-sustaining businesses, such as Grameen Bank . At a recent meeting with our CEO in L.A. for the global conference on education (NAFSA) Dr. Yunus, founder of Grameen bank and Nobel Peace prize winner, had encouraging words about GlobalCampus.

  • Welcome on our wiki. Internet is one center of our academic life. We search papers on the web, find the latest academic news and progress, we get in touch with Labs and professors we are interested in… However, we believe the potential of internet in promoting open education and research has not yet fully explored. Many possibilities that will greatly facilitate our research and enhance collaboration are there, but we still need to truly put them in action. Our aim is to help students anywhere in the world by being a central point of information about the use of Open Source [web] tools to assist education and research. Our project is open. We warmly welcome any motivated participant. Let's change the future together.

Social Learning Networks | Twine - 0 views

  •  
    Social Learning Networks to Change the World. Learning is a social process, it occurs not as a response to teaching, but rather as a result of a social environment that fosters learning. Knowledge is situated in the social context of its acquisition and use. People acquire the skills they use at work informally - talking, observing others, trial-and-error, and simply working with people in the social construction of knowledge ... knowledge co-evolves with the knower and not as an outside, objective representation - Francisco Varela. A journey through theory, methods, praxis and resources - dialogical learning, collective intelligence, learning circles, learning networks, learning communities, communities of practice, learning organizations, learning regions, expansive learning, situated learning, action learning, participatory action learning, social learning and change, connectivism, e-learning, learning 2.0, social network learning platforms, open and flexible models of learning, media strategies, and more.

  • Chief among our insights was that "the network as platform" means far more than just offering old applications via the network ("software as a service"); it means building applications that literally get better the more people use them, harnessing network effects not only to acquire users, but also to learn from them and build on their contributions.

  • All of a sudden, we’re not using search via a keyboard and a stilted search grammar, we’re talking to and with the Web. It’s getting smart enough to understand some things (such as where we are) without us having to tell it explicitly. And that’s just the beginning.
  • But it’s important to realize that machine learning techniques apply to far more than just sensor data.
  • information shadows
  • geotagging
  • The smartphone revolution has moved the Web from our desks to our pockets. Collective intelligence applications are no longer being driven solely by humans typing on keyboards but, increasingly, by sensors.
  • With more users and sensors feeding more applications and platforms, developers are able to tackle serious real-world problems.
  • The Web is no longer a collection of static pages of HTML that describe something in the world. Increasingly, the Web is the world – everything and everyone in the world casts an "information shadow," an aura of data which, when captured and processed intelligently, offers extraordinary opportunity and mind bending implications.
  • It’s easy to forget that only 15 years ago, email was as fragmented as social networking is today, with hundreds of incompatible email systems joined by fragile and congested gateways. One of those systems – internet RFC 822 email – became the gold standard for interchange.
  • They thus turn what at first appeared to be unstructured into structured data.
