Why mobile learning is the future of workplace learning [infographic by UpsideLearning; as found on wiredacademic.com]
From DSC:
Here’s a portion of the infographic that I want to highlight — look at how many streams of content are flowing by (perfect for building one’s own learning ecosystem!)

I would add augmented reality-based apps
to the on-demand and embedded areas as well…

THIS is what it could look like if students OWNED their own learning and could pursue their own passions! — A powerful piece! Well worth your time if you are involved with — or concerned about — education in any way, shape, or form.
The video starts off with this troubling/deep assertion by a student (which I’m sure varies in actuality across the board):
From DSC:
A few radical — but powerful ideas — to help students OWN their own learning (something that they will need for the rest of their lives):
A couple of questions kept running through the back of my mind:
With that said, this is a very powerful piece — well worth your time to check out.

From DSC:
As I mentioned the other day…perhaps helping folks build their own learning ecosystems — based upon one’s gifts/abilities/passions — should be an objective for teachers, professors, instructional designers, trainers, and consultants alike. No matter whether we’re talking K-12, higher ed, or corporate training, these ever-changing networks/tools/strategies will help keep us marketable and able to contribute in a variety of areas to society.
Thanks again Jay for sharing this information/these slides with us!

Why are organizations wringing their hands over informal learning instead of doing something about it? — from internettime.com by Jay Cross

Learning industry should pay more attention to:
Less is more — from Harold Jarche
Excerpts:
If you were to sum up the psychology of learning in three words, it would be ‘less is more’. – Donald Clark
In FrogDesign’s presentation on Design is Hacking How we Learn, slide #27 clearly shows where the emphasis of our learning efforts should be, and where organizations should place the most support and resources: practice.

From DSC:
In the corporate world, my thought is to provide the training as to where and how employees can get/stay in the know — especially by encouraging the use and ownership of blogs, social media, and developing/leveraging their personal learning networks. But also to provide the infrastructure and tools — the plumbing if you will — to allow for people to quickly connect with each other and to easily share information with each other (i.e. to develop their own learning ecosystems). Formal classes won’t cut it. As Harold and other members of the Internet Alliance have long been saying, it’s about informal learning. (Speaking of his Internet Alliance colleagues, Charles Jennings recently discussed how the pace of change is affecting the corporate world big time; and, just as in higher ed, being able to adapt is key to staying relevant.)
As a relevant aside…my issue with my Master’s Program in Instructional Design for Online Learning was that there was too much emphasis on theory and not enough emphasis on practice.

What caught my eye here was the use of scenarios and using those scenarios to help define/create/plan for our future.

I continue to watch this space as the foundations are being put into place for what I’m calling, “Learning from the Living [Class] Room.”
