I think what we are missing here (and excuse me if it is mentioned) is motivation for people to learn. I think we have to answer 1 question:

Is the task I need to complete too hard and in that case can I assimulate some new skills to achieve said task?

I think what then follows, especially since the introduction of online learning, is a…[Read more]

After reflecting on the topic and the situation I am experiencing at the moment I believe the learning machine was something that was probably the result of the type of educational philosophy prominent at that time.

On the educational continuum you have behaviorism, a teacher centric approach, and a philosophy that critics argue that the…[Read more]

I have experienced working in the T&L department for 7 years. I’ve had over 17 years experience from coaching kids in a swimming pool and on the cricket field to implementing (or attempting to ) a blended approach

Did you contribute to the strategy, if so, in what capacity?

Very little. We as a company already used an online system to replace…[Read more]

Hi Guy

If I understand you correctly you are pointing out that flipping a classroom needs to also deliver better results which comes back to setting “higher” pedagogy objectives?

I agree that using technology to allow learners to assimilate the content, whilst creating PLN’s is a big advantage of a TEL. I think an important thing to also…[Read more]

Hi mdvfunes (sorry for calling you directly by the name)

Thanks for getting back to me and your response is very appreciated. I am working hard at trying to open the minds of people to a new way to the way we do currently do it. We have started on a blended learning approach making use of self paced learning via online modules that are both…[Read more]

Hi James

I think you have a point, although if you look at the latest developments in VLEs and LMSs they are incorporating a lot more functions so that people can maintain their PLNs, even after the course has finished. I’ve seen LMSs have moved passed tracking to actually saying “Hey Jim, your product sales for this product over the last 4…[Read more]

I think you are right, I saw something the other day that was nicely written: Teaching/Training should be about making your students think that they got to the answer on their own.

I think tasks are a great way of achieving that.

Hi Grant

thanks for the response. To answer your question I have searched high and low for a model that attempts to explain the learning process. The one I personally buy into is Blooms Taxonomy and then you flip it.

What was originally:
Remember – Understand – Apply === in class
Analyse – evaluate – create === out of class (typically as…[Read more]

For me to answer this activity I wanted to explain my situation. I work for a construction company that is invested heavily into training. We touch on a blended learning approach and I am currently trying to inspire my colleagues into changing what we do so that in the next crisis the first department that is hit isn’t the Training and D…[Read more]

Thanks Paul for the group, my work commitments have had me busy and have left me with little time to reflect. I understand your point of view and if I may I wanted to (since we are talking about theory) link a theory that is used heavily in gamification. The model is here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mihaly_Csikszentmihalyi), in short,…[Read more]

 Hi Paul,
Yes I work in the construction sector.
I’ve spent the last 7 years implementing eLearning into the company and I am now looking into increasing the use of technology for learning further. I’ve looked at Tablets and other technology, what I’ve always said is that it is not just about incorporating technology, there has to be a pedagog…[Read more]

Having watched the webinar recording and still trying to get my head around the course, I see there are a wide variety of people from all walks of backgrounds taking part. The difficulty is that we all have reasons for taking part and you may eventually end up by not getting the answer(s) you are looking for. MOOC is a great way to learn,…[Read more]
