Jumping on the bandwagon of new technologies: what's wrong with that?
- New technlogies tend to creat new learning locations rather than new learning opportunities
- Learning on new technologies often replicate the model of classromm-based instruction, at least at the outset
- Shouldn't we be starting with the learning, and then think about the technologies available - old and new?
- many-way participative environment
- anytime
- anywhere
- on the internet
- enraces user-generated content
- may include nlogs, wiki's, blog/vodcasts, social networking, twitter, ...
- non linear structure
Rapid e-learning: Why?
- Required in 3 weeks or less
- short, focused e-learning; modules 10-20 minutes
- Busy learners
- Frequent updates
- Rate of change increasing
Managing & updating should be quick and easy with no technical skills to change text or images by using old fashioned XML. This allows fast updating, no authoring tool required.
Typical learning structure
- engagement,
- product knowledge,
- stories and applications
- real-life scenarios,
- assessment,
- keep it real and practical.
