eLearn Magazine has published an interesting piece: Lifelong-Learning Support by M-learning: Example Scenarios. Among other things it argues: Norris & Soloway argue that handhelds should support project-based learning in context, that is, using the handheld as an integral part of a learning activity; most of all: ongoing assessment and possible feedback [19]. Converse to the [...]

The Otter Group has published a 1.6 MB PDF document on Podcasting for learning. The 12 page document includes some background about podcasting, examples of use and hints on how to do it. (Via elearnspace.)

E-Learning Queen writes about the Podcast Theory Gap: Online learners seem to prefer using audio and web-based information in ways that counter what researchers recommend. Although instructional designers do not often like to mention this, the fact is, it is the rare learner who will sit at a computer and willingly watch a 20 or [...]

Blackboard has published a white paper on the Networked Learning Environment. The publication date is shown as October 2004 but I don’t recall seeing it or hearing of it previously. Perhaps that’s just my failing memory. The paper echoes ideas that are being heard elsewhere. The general flavour is indicated by this paragraph from the [...]

The pages [...]

EdNA’s The Communicator email newsletter reports on a review about eLearning for youth: An extensive review of literature and information relating to the application of e-learning for youth within the context of vocational education and training (VET) has been released by the 2005 Australian Flexible Learning Framework (2005 Framework). The environmental scan research paper was [...]

Stephen Downes answers “Yes!” in a piece that builds on his earlier post where he asked “Is online learning a distinct paradigm?” The core of his argument is about the nature of knowledge and related theories of learning. He takes apart the behaviourist and constructivist ends of the familiar spectrum. These few paragraphs provide some [...]

Jay Cross has posted a link to a Breeze presentation of a conference session about A Workflow Learning Pattern Language. It’s 34 minutes worth checking out. His essential message is about the convergence of work and learning but he talks about a variety of ideas including augmented learners, the imbalance between high costs for formal [...]
