Sprout Labs is embarking on building a new program that is based around an instructional design approach called worked example. This blog is partly for the subject matter experts (SMEs) that are working that project but I thought other people might find it useful as well.
A roadmap for Glasshouse development in 2016 and features we’re adding to support the 70:20:10 learning model.
It’s the time of year for forecasts and predictions. But instead of adding to them, Sprout Labs is releasing our Learning While Working Manifesto.
In an earlier stage of my work life I was a full-time creative (now it's just a part-time activity). One of my roles during this time was as a freelance contemporary art curator.
Content curation is the process of collecting and organising content in a meaningful way. In the case of learning, content might be from either inside or outside the organisation. One of my favourite examples of content curation is Stephen Downes’ OLDaily.
Unfortunately, eLearning has become associated with self-paced linear modules that are often slide-based information dumps with a quiz at the end. But eLearning could be so much more. Learning technologies offer possibilities for powerful social and peer learning, spaced learning over time, and personalised adaptive learning.
In last week's webinar I found myself getting tongue tied about whether 70:20:10 is a framework, a model or a concept. Should I really have been worried about the difference? Maybe I'm just being too academic. This post is me sorting out my own thinking about this.
Content curation was one of the buzz terms at the recent Melbourne Learning Cafe Unconference. The basic premise of content curation for learning is that all the information a learner needs exists on intranets or on the wider internet BUT it is hard to find.
This is a ‘working out loud’ blog post about some work we’re doing with spaced learning. Most learning people have seen this graph.
I’m sure we’ve all personally experienced times when if it isn’t used, learning is quickly forgotten.
An LMS is often seen as a core building block to enable digital learning. Recently I've been questioning this focus on the LMS as the core of a digital learning strategy. LMSs are everything that is wrong with eLearning.
