Taking a Closer Look with 1DayLater
Although I like feeling organized, I don’t want to spend ages learning how to use software, and one thing that really frustrates me is unintuitive systems with poor usability. This year, in an effort to get a better grip on the ways I generate income, I’ve been looking for a free, simple app that will allow me to track my income easily. I

Presentation of the Self on the Web
Consequently, I have learned to distinguish between friendliness and intimacy.
However, currently I have third year university students learning about podcasting, and, as part of their course assignments, they have to podcast. Joan Vinall-Cox, PhD Social Media & Learnin I have been, as they say, “active on the web” since the late nineties, and have really enjoyed the social aspects of it since at least 2005, earlier if you count social bookmarking.

3 Places to Discover New and Relevant Content
Web workers are a busy group, and it can be too easy to get buried in our work while rarely surfacing to keep up with the latest news, trends and other information that we should be learning. You pick any topic that you want to learn about, and it provides real-time updates on the most recent content in your topic. While I love my RSS reader and check it frequently, RSS readers have limitations. They are best for keeping up with information that you have added to your reader because you know you want to read it.

Learning and micro-blogging
I’m presenting on Twitter and its uses for education and learning later today, as I noted in my last post. That may make Twitter, like blogs, best suited for personal learning environments (PLE) in academia, so that learners can use it for several courses and connect to their non-academic networks as well. Tags: Learning Technolog During the past few weeks I’ve been looking at my own uses of Twitter and compiling a list of resources on the subject. There are lots of how-to presentations on Twitter, and I would recommend the CommonCraft videos (available in

Rethinking Learning Styles
I’ve pointed out the problems with learning styles in the past, but I want to rethink them with you, as we took quite a positive out of them in a unique way. This was back in 99-2000, when I led a project developing an intelligently adaptive learning system (Intellectricity ™; inspired by Joe Miller ’s vision of a system that respected who you were as a learner). To do this, I looked long and The system took a unique approach, adapting on the basis of who you were as a learner instead of your demonstrated domain knowledge (though it did that, too, though not like an intelligent tutoring system ).

On Directed and Flow Learning Goals
Tony Karrer has an interesting post on the issue of learning goals. Directed Learning Goals – specific focus
Flow Learning Goals – nonspecific, exploratory
He goes on to argue that 1) people tend to fall into one of these two camps in terms of how they approach their own learning and 2) formal learning seems to more effectively support people with directed He's noticed that there seem to be two types of goals:
Says Tony of informal learning: Unlike formal learning, informal learning is generally not going to

The Learning Age
This isn’t the Information Age, it’s the Learning Age; and the quicker people get their heads around that, the better - Prof Stephen Heppell
This is a quote from a short video on the future of learning which asks the key question, What do we want to do? (with There is little doubt that we need systemic change to prepare for the Learning Age, the signals are everywhere and the conversations are getting louder. with all of this networked information technology).
Here’s an example: I recently met with some people in a large organization who are working

Learning 2.0
If you read some of the predictions for 2009 that were compiled by Lisa Neal Gualtieri at eLearn Magazine, you may have noticed that people foresee a resurgence of informal learning, especially in new, e-mediated forms. While I agree that many people have developed some savvy with really cool tools, using those tools for learning is a different skill set. But let’s be cautious. At the top of the eLearn Mag list, Alison Rosset predicts “More technology, but not necessarily more sense about how to use it.”

Guerrilla Learning
Kerri defines guerrilla art as "any anonymous work, including but not limited to graffiti, signage, performance, additions and decorations) installed, performed or attached in public spaces, with the distinct purpose of affecting the world in a creative or thought-provoking way." Reading through it got me thinking about how some of the exercises could be adapted to support learning. It seems to me that we're often too serious and structured and Kerri's guerrilla techniques add an element of fun and subversiveness that could make learning more appealing. A few weeks ago I bought Kerri Smith's Guerilla Art Kit.

Social media and self-directed learning
I found Jane Hart’s post on social media FOR learning most thought-provoking:
IOL – Intra-Organisational Learning – how social media tools can be used to keep the organisation up to date and up to speed on strategic and other internal initiatives
FSL – Formal Structured Learning - how educators (teachers, trainers, learning designers) as well as students can use social media within education and training – for courses, classes, workshops I have decided to categorise the use of social media in the following 5 different ways:

Social learning is real
Once again, I’m learning from my colleagues, as yesterday I realized how important self-direction is in enabling social learning. Now I’m picking up on Jay’s post on Social Learning Gets Real and see how it connects to Jane’s observations. Jay has described several aspects of the future of social learning (below) and they map to the matrix (farther down) I created based on Jane’s five types of social learning. As Jay says:
In the past, we’ve focused on individuals but work is performed by groups.

4 Meta Skills for Learning Professionals
In a Learning 2.0 world, where learning and performance solutions take on a wider variety of forms and where churn happens at a much more rapid pace, what new skills and knowledge are required for learning professionals?
