Reflections on the Knowledge Society » Intro to Pearson’s OpenClass Last night, I followed a short webinar by Pearson introducing their cloud-based OpenClass learning management system (LMS). At first sight it looked good, lean and easy. The webinar used Cisco’s webex, but was painful because audio could only be received via a telephone call-in, which, from countries other than the US frankly isn’t economic. Anyhow, back to OpenClass. In total, the platform looks and feels like a mix between Twitter and Google Docs, embedded in a Moodle-style organisation structure. However, I did not get a clear response on enterprise functionalities. My impression was that the tool, or at least the webinar demo, was very much geared toward individual teachers deciding to hop into the cloud with their classes. Another obstacle which only got mentioned at the sidelines, was that in order to use OpenClass, the institution would have to have a Google EduApps account. OpenClass could be a longer term game changer if hosting courses in the cloud becomes a trend.
Instructional Design Models & Theories | Instructional Design Central Instructional Design Models and Methods "Models, like myths and metaphors, help us to make sense of our world. Whether derived from whim or from serious research, a model offers its user a means of comprehending an otherwise incomprehensible problem. An instructional design model gives structure and meaning to an I.D. problem, enabling the would-be designer to negotiate her design task with a semblance of conscious understanding. Review and compare various instructional design models and methods below: Merrill's First Principles of Instruction ADDIE Model Dick and Carey Model Kemp's Instructional Design Model Gagné's Nine Events of Instruction Bloom's Learning Taxonomy Kirkpatrick's 4 Levels of Training Evaluation Cathy Moore's Action Mapping Merrill's First Principles of Instruction ADDIE Model The ADDIE instructional design model is the generic process traditionally used by instructional designers and training developers.

The eLearning Guild: Community & Resources for eLearning Professionals Authoring Tools- The DevLearn Experience Last week, I attended DevLearn. I readily admit that I was unsure what to expect. I knew that its core audience would be instructional designers and e-learning developers. I suspected that the expo would feature a large quantity of rapid content authoring tools. I wasn’t disappointed. From products that ranged from the latest versions of RCATs to new vendors in the space, including text to speech. I was enthralled. Anyone for Avatars? Everywhere you looked, someone was incorporating avatar characters. While most people were oohing and awwing over Articulate’s Storyline, virtually no one was checking out Sh! Not only was it doing the new “avatar” experience, similar to Storyline, but when you recorded your audio, they claimed it would synch up to the character’s lips – that is right, real synchronization. In the demo at their booth, they readily showed numerous avatars, and it would have been very cool to see the true synch experience – something that Storyline cannot do. Collaborative Review
An Outline For Creating An Instructional Design Document An eLearning course is developed through the combined efforts of Instructional Designers, learning designers, multimedia developers, technology experts, Subject Matter Experts, and project managers. When you have so many stakeholders involved, how do you ensure that the project stays on course and does not lose its focus? What is the single document that binds all the people involved to work toward a common goal? That document is called the Instructional Design Document (IDD). The Instructional Design Document functions as a single reference point that guides multiple stakeholders as they perform their individual tasks related to developing an eLearning course. What Does An Instructional Design Document Do? The Instructional Design Document provides a framework that guides all key individuals involved in the eLearning development process. An Instructional Design Document answers questions such as: What is the purpose of the course? Why Is The Instructional Design Document Important? 1. 2. 3.
The Battle For Openness In The LMS Market Last year it seemed like every new LMS company was trying to position itself as the “Facebook” of online learning. Then Facebook started to make everyone angry (or bored, or both), and we saw that idea dry up pretty quick (well, for the most part). The new catch phrase battle seems to be heating up over the words “open” and “free.” Many people have examined the concepts of open and free to see where various companies stack up. Pearson is lifting the veil a bit more by releasing some screen shots of their OpenClass platform (although, anyone that has been reading this site for a while or attended one of my presentations with Harriet knows that mock-ups and screen shots of ideas are pretty easy to come by). What we have shaping up here is basically a “Googlized” Blackboard with probably a healthy portion of Apple-esque eas-ability of use thrown in. But it still only really brings us into the 1990s. It might end up being very easy. Open as in open source code.
untitled January 15, 2014 Learning from stories is an effective and powerful tool for learning design, because stories allow us to learn from the experience of others without having to face personal consequences. To paraphrase Fast Company writer Drake Baer, stories “let you demo other peoples’ minds in the comfy confines of your own.” In Using Stories for Learning: Answers to Five Key Questions, Karl Kapp, author of The Gamification of Learning and Instruction: Game-based Methods and Strategies for Training and Education, explores why stories are so valuable for learning, describes how to match learning objectives to four powerful learning story types, and offers guidance on how to compose learning stories. He examines the elements of a good story and provides a storytelling worksheet to make designing your own learning stories easier.

ADDIE Does More Than Classrooms One of the misconceptions of ISD is that it was created to only build classroom training environments.Yet, one of the old Army manuals (1984) that is used for training ISD shows the above options for training. It also notes that options 1, 2, or 3 should be used in lieu of classroom training if it can adequately perform the job. Thus, classroom training should normally be the last option if there is more than one viable option. This is because classroom training is normally one of the more expensive options. The five options are shown below with a few notes about them: Just as training designed for the classroom, the other options also need to follow the five phases of ISD to ensure they do what the are supposed to do. Analyzing the various settings and media to determine if it is the most approximate method. The manual also gives some guidelines for selecting the correct training setting: In addition, think blended learning. Related Posts: ADDIE Backwards Planning Model
Tout sur la pédagogie 3.01 | Stéphane Côté Le parcours de Stéphane Côté en est un où une certaine effervescence l’entoure concernant la pédagogie. Si vous l’avez déjà rencontré en personne, vous avez tout de suite remarqué son emballement quasi enfantin lorsqu’il parle de l’enseignement. En effet, il cherche, découvre, évalue, mesure l’impact de ses idées qui se tissent autour d’une approche non conventionnelle qu’il décide d’intituler la pédagogie 3.0. En 2012 il quitte son poste de conseiller pédagogique en TIC qu’il occupait depuis plus de quatre ans pour aller lui-même mettre à l’épreuve cette vision de la pédagogie actualisée afin de voir, si oui ou non, il y a matière à partager et à déployer… À son atterrissage dans la réalité d’une classe, il remarque qu’il avait oublié la pression du temps et ses effets néfastes sur la réflexion. Définition de la pédagogie 3.0 : Contrairement à une méthode, la pédagogie 3.0 est une approche complète qui englobe : Maintenant, d’où provient la nomenclature de la pédagogie 3.0? Au plaisir,
Seven Top Authoring Tools by Joe Ganci “You choose the tools you need depending on the instructional design you need to implement, the venues to which you need to deliver, your budget and schedule, and other factors. I hope this table helps you to reach your eLearning goals.” Recently The eLearning Guild published a research report written by yours truly, entitled Rapid eLearning Authoring: Top Tools, in which I analyzed the results of the continuous surveys to which thousands of Guild members respond. The results proved enlightening. Following the publication of that report, I thought it would make sense to take the seven tools that survey respondents reported using the most and compare their features for you. However, it’s important to note that not all apples are the same: two applications may claim that they allow you to create quizzes, but one may let you create much more powerful quizzes than the other. The top-seven tools that people reported using, in order of most use to least, are: The table appears below. Best use:
