Take part in e-Learning Survey: To Buy or To Build

We have entered the ‘Second Wave’ of e-Learning and have a much greater understanding of how e-Learning can benefit us and organisations. Gone are the days when we thought on-line training was the panacea and we enter an era of business games, m-Learning and self-authoring.
What role should e-Learning play in the ‘new world’? 'To Buy or To Build' is an industry-wide survey by Bourne Training to help us understand what you think of e-Learning today and how you use it. It will take you less than 10 minutes to complete and covers three main areas:

- The relevance and benefits of e-Learning in your organisation
- Outsourcing development and self-authoring
- e-Learning in the future

The results and analysis will be published during January 2007 after the survey closes at the end of December 2006.

Against All Odds: Inside Statistics

Despite its rather daunting title, this series of instructional videos offers a way for teachers and students alike to enter the world of statistics with confidence. Originally produced by the Consortium for Mathematics and Its Applications, this 26-part series is hosted by Teresa M. Amabile. Intended for a wide range of students, each episode lasts for approximately 30 minutes. Visitors to this site can view the episodes, and they may wish to move around from such topics as distributions, time series, and the ever-popular significance tests. Users will need to sign up to view each program, but this process is offered at no charge. From The Scout Report, Copyright Internet Scout Project 1994-2006.

Stanford offering distance learning


Some of Stanford University's most diligent students are never in class — or even in the same time zone.
These foreign students, earning a master's degree in engineering through a program available entirely online, concede that they miss the sports, the sunshine and the easy camaraderie of fellow Cardinal.
But they gain an education — and a competitive edge in the workplace — not available in their home countries.

Actual applications rather than theories


To enhance the institution-wide adoption of ICT in learning and teaching, the University of Leicester has opened an E-Zoo, a very colourful and likeable way to invite teachers to join the eLearning world. Gilly Salmon, Professor of E-learning & Learning Technologies at the University’s Beyond Distance Research Alliance, was interviewed by CHECKpoint eLearning.

Microsoft Launches Distance Learning Initiative

Microsoft launched on Nov. 14 its Microsoft Official Distance Learning initiative (MODL), a blended learning program that uses Microsoft Office Live Meeting to conduct MCT-led classes, which students then reinforce with self-paced homework assignments and scenario exercises.

According to MODL Innovations Product Manager Wendy Johnson, MODL is a more productive and convenient alternative to previous learning program models, which typically cram lessons into a mere five days, and require students to leave their offices for the classroom.

Info overload distracts professors from reading


Sarah Schmidt, The Ottawa Citizen.

Pointing to the time-compressed "wired-to-the-world campus," the majority of university professors report they skim sources for useful bits of information and don't read as deeply and reflectively as they once did.
The survey of faculty from across the country, conducted by Carleton University's Heather Menzies and York University's Janice Newson, suggests about the same number -- two-thirds -- also aren't reading as thoughtfully as they would like.

Paper on the Microsoft study is online

Just to let you know that paper on the Microsoft study is online:
Efimova, L. & Grudin, J. (2007). Crossing boundaries: A case study of employee blogging. Proceedings of the Fortieth Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS-40). Los Alamitos: IEEE Press.
Abstract.

Editors, email, and instant messaging were first widely used by students who later brought knowledge of their uses and effective practices into workplaces. Weblogs may make such a transition more quickly. We present a study of emergent blogging practices in a corporate setting. We attended meetings, read email, documents, and weblogs, and interviewed 38 people—bloggers, infrastructure administrators, attorneys, public relations specialists, and executives. We found an experimental, rapidly-evolving terrain marked by growing sophistication about balancing personal, team, and corporate incentives and issues.

Tired of text-driven e-learning for teaching higher-level skills?

Why is so much e-learning for teaching soft skills often text-based? Perhaps it’s because technology-based soft skills simulations can be difficult and costly to create.
