NEU: Google Apps for Education

Sharing information and ideas is vital to learning. So imagine how valuable it would be if your entire campus community shared a set of powerful, easy-to-use and integrated communication and collaboration services. With Google Apps for Education, you can offer all of your students innovative email, instant messaging, and calendaring, all for free.* You can select any combination of our available services (see below), and customize them with your school’s logo, color scheme and content. You can manage your users through an easy web-based console or use our available APIs to integrate the services into your existing systems — and it’s all hosted by Google, so there’s no hardware or software for you to install or maintain.

What you should learn

Clark Quinn, learnlets: “There’s some interesting lists going around about what you should learn. Stephen Downes has created a list (in reply to Guy Kawasaki’s list), and not surprisingly it’s really good. I was interested in how it compared to the list I created for my ‘learning wisdom’ talk back in November. Stephen’s is more personal (ie what a learner should take ownership of), where mine was more curricular, but there are enough similarities to see why I resonated with it …” Lnk zu Stephen Downes!

e-learning 2.0 - how Web technologies are shaping education

“Much has been written on Read/WriteWeb (and elsewhere) about the effect that web technologies are having on commerce, media, and business in general. But outside of the ‘edublogosphere’, there’s been little coverage of the impact it is having on education. Teachers are starting to explore the potential of blogs, media-sharing services and other social software - which, although not designed specifically for e-learning, can be used to empower students and create exciting new learning …”

The business environment of informal learning

learning is not some new option to toy with. Rather, it’s a response to a new world of business, a new contract with workers, a new definition of knowledge, and an incredible philosophy and technological conglomerate known as the internet. Here’s a view from a non-training silo.

“I’m fascinated by Enterprise 2.0. It’s what has kept my life going for the past five years as I’ve learned to get out of the way of a control IT environment and start creating environments that enable people to work collaboratively,” says J.P. Rangaswami, former global CIO at investment bank Dresdner Kleinwort in London, in this interview with Optimize magazine …

Nano-Learning: Miniaturization of Design

Sechs Monate alter Artikel von Elliot Masie, still going strong: ” …I am a nano-learner. What does that mean? Each day, I learn several things in small chunks. Really small chunks. A 90-second conversation with an expert triggers a huge “a-ha.” A few moments concentrating on learning how something works leads to a new micro-skill. What’s more, I am not that unusual. Most people acquire most of their knowledge in smaller pieces …”

E-Learning Zeitschrift

Die “Zeitschrift für E-Learning - Lernkultur und Bildungstechnologie” ist die einzige deutschsprachige wissenschaftliche und referierte (Papier-) Zeitschrift für E-Learning. Sie erscheint ab Mitte 2006 4x/Jahr.
Mit dieser Zeitschrift wollen wir nicht nur den wissenschaftlichen Diskurs in der e-Learning Community fördern sondern gleichzeitig auch eine Brücke zwischen WissenschaftlerInnen und PraktikerInnen des E-Learnings aufbauen. Ziel ist es ein Forum für zukunftsorientieretes Lehren und Lernen aufzubauen.

Corporate Learning Forum

A worldwide knowledge exchange for corporate training, organizational development and institutional learning professionals.

What’s wrong with idea generation

wasn’t sure whether to title this post as a question or a statement. There’s clearly a lot of effort going into idea generation in many businesses, and it seems quite a lot of that work is wasted or not put to good use. I think there are several reasons why we fail fairly consistently at idea generation:

- Brainstorms are often run with poor framing or context
- Facilitation of a brainstorm requires different skills than managing other meetings
- Too few people are involved in ideation
- The teams don’t believe the ideas will we acted on
- There’s poor communication throughout …

E-Learning 2.0 - Buzzword oder ernstzunehmende Entwicklung?

Seit gut einem Jahr geistert ein neuer Begriff durch die Weiterbildungslandschaft, der bei einigen auf Bewunderung und bei anderen auf Verwunderung stößt: “E-Learning 2.0″. Bewunderung findet er beim “harten Kern” der E-Learning-Szene, der vorwiegend aus Wissenschaftlern, Bildungsverantwortlichen und Entwicklerfirmen besteht, die sich intensiv mit neuen Entwicklungen der E-Learning-Branche beschäftigen. Verwunderung hinterlässt er hingegen bei denjenigen, die den Begriff hier und da aufschnappen konnten, ohne weiterführende Informationen darüber zu erhalten, was E-Learning 2.0 konkret bedeutet.
