Looking back at Learning Technologies 2010 — from Hans de Zwart

“A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of attending the 2010 Learning Technologies Exhibition in London. In many ways this event is very similar to the Online Educa in Berlin (e.g. most Berlin exhibitors were in London too and the conferences shared a keynote speaker). There are two main differences: Learning Technologies seems to draw a slightly less international crowd and it focuses more on the world of corporate learning. In this post I want to capture the people I met and the technologies that I looked at. What caught my eye?”

  • Mobile Learning, Social Media and Serious Gaming
  • Technology Companies versus Content Development Companies
  • Learning as a Managed Service
  • Moodle Everywhere?
  • Wisdom Architects
  • …and more

    The World Is Open – Now, WE ALL LEARN with Web Technology — from ELI

    The World Is Open – Now, WE ALL LEARN with Web Technology — from ELI

    In this session, Curtis J. Bonk, Professor for Instructional Systems Technology at Indiana University System, offers an intriguing look at 10 technology trends that he calls educational openers. When combined, the first letter of each opener spells the acronym WE ALL LEARN. This model helps make sense of the role of various technologies in open education and participatory environments, including e-books, podcasts, streamed videos, open courseware, online learning portals, social networking tools like Facebook and Ning, YouTube videos, wikis, and virtual worlds (emphasis DSC). Clearly, technology-based learning continues to open new learning pathways for all the connected learners of this planet. At the same time, thousands of organizations and individuals are sharing their course materials, expertise, and instructional ideas globally, thereby expanding learning opportunities and resources even further. As this occurs, members of the media, politicians, educators, students, parents, and others are asking important questions about the quality of such contents.

    “Unwired work: Fail” — from Janet Clarey

    On 02/16/2010, in internet, relationships, social learning / networks, social media, by Daniel Christian

    Quotes below from Janet Clarey’s posting entitled, “Unwired work: Fail”

    Based on my very limited experiment, the social web is most valuable for me for the following:

    • comparative analysis of digital content
    • real-time communication in online networks
    • time-sensitive digital tasks
    • linkage between and among people
    • greater reach (work with more people)
    • collaboration
    • development of relationships
    • self-education

    I can’t imagine what work would be like without the social web. I wouldn’t be writing this and you wouldn’t be reading this. I wouldn’t know many people who work in the e-learning industry. I wouldn’t be as far ahead in my thinking. It’s like playing up a level in sports. Where else could you connect directly with great minds in the field? It would be hard to do that even at a conference. Being a virtual web worker, I’d be pretty lonely and isolated too without the social web. My job wouldn’t be as fun and I’d be without some great relationships. Humorous, casual, frustrated, or even personal exchanges are the building blocks of relationships.
