Microlearning: The e-Learning method taking off around the world<\/strong><\/a> — from educators.co.nz by Catherine Knowles<\/p>\n

Excerpt:<\/em><\/p>\n

Technology is disrupting traditional learning bringing new methods and tools into educational institutions and businesses.<\/p>\n

Microlearning, for instance, has displayed great potential for growth, according to Association Learning + Technology 2016 – a report published by Tagoras and sponsored by YM Learning.<\/p>\n

The report looks at the use of technology to enable and enhance learning in the continuing education and professional development market and provides insight into how the role technology plays in learning has and will evolve.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In fact, among five emerging types of learning (microlearning, massive open online courses (MOOCs), flipped classes, gamified learning, and microcredentials), microlearning shows the highest rate of adoption \u2013 and arguably the greatest potential for growth.<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Podcasting is perfect for people with big ideas. Here’s how to do it<\/a><\/strong> — from by Todd Landman
\nSurprisingly few academics have learned how to podcast \u2013 but it\u2019s a great way to reach a wider audience<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Excerpt:<\/em><\/p>\n

In the face of conflict in the Middle East, the flow of refugees to Europe and the violence associated with Islamic State and other militants, there has never been a more important time to talk about human rights. And talk about them is what I do \u2013 not in a lecture hall or at conferences with academics, but in a podcast series. Let me explain why.<\/p>\n

I have worked as a political scientist for 25 years, focusing on human rights problems such as the struggle for citizenship rights in Latin America and the relationship between inequality and human rights violations.<\/p>\n

I am part of a wide network of people dedicated to producing sound evidence on human rights, and my work has been communicated through articles, books and reports. But I am limited in my ability to reach the people I would most like to engage and influence \u2013 those who do not have an academic understanding of human rights but might benefit from finding out about it.<\/p>\n

There is a new breed of academic who understands this and is committed to bridging the gap between academia and the real world.<\/strong> <\/span>Many blog, actively seek media coverage of their research and appear on radio and television to shed light on the issues of the day.<\/p>\n
