This is interesting to me, because I've long thought that method and medium are often confused as concepts when the pros and cons of technology-assisted learning are being argued. As Tom Werner reminds us, it is the choice of method that determines the effectiveness of an intervention, not whether that method is implemented face-to-face, over a telephone, through the printed page ...

It seems like with the emergence of Web 2.0 technologies, there has been a resurgence of the Media/Method debate. Just a quick recap of the debate to catch-up those unfamiliar with the debate... In the 1980's and 1990's, Richard Clark and Robert Kozma wrote a series of papers debating whether or not media influences learning. Clark posited that media does not influence learning under any conditions, and Kozma was claiming that media does influence learning as an active ... into the delivery methods.

Any suggestions on the best tools and techniques to use for attendees at upcoming sessions to take notes collaboratively? Has anyone done this successfully? I'm wondering about this both for 75-90 minute presentations and day long courses.

Jay Cross got me straight on fraudulent information concerning the effectiveness of learning methods. Will Thalheimer who has a great blog with research-based commentary on learning and performance got some mails out on this topic and ... those mails surely got me gasping for air.

Some of those circulating statistics turn out to be myths linked to professional names like Glasser and others. The first post in which ...

It has been a while since I added a blogpost, but it was quite hectic the last two weeks. mLearn08 started which resulted in a lot of extra knowledge. I would have blogged live from the venue, but the hotel's infrastructure could not cope with all of the participants logging into their wireless. So all of my notes and movies on mLearn08 will be posted in the next few days and weeks. Because I did not have the opportunity to live blog, I got thinking about possible ways to provide feedback of a conference. This resulted in some ideas going from simple text, to synthesizing papers I found ...

Jay Cross has posted some further reflections on the Hole in the Wall project that was presented in a keynote speech by Sugata Mitra at Online Educa Berlin two weeks ago. Although the Hole in the Wall has been going for at least 7 years and has been deployed (as Sugata told me privately) extensively not only in various locations within India but also in Africa and Cambodia, confirming the potentially universal application of the results, the deeper findings of the ongoing experiment only came home to me in Berlin, which -- incidentally and somewhat ironically -- perhaps reveals that ...

Honest to goodness, someone please respond to me so we can have an open conversation about this. Here is what I see. There is a journal, Field Methods , with an editor -  H.

Now someone from the journal PLEASE explain to me, what benefits you and/or your customers derives from you having this relationship with this publisher?!

He emphasizes that the media should be fairly easy to choose once the methods are selected. However, too often, people will choose their media first before they’ve given any thought to instructional design and the methods they should employ. This is where blended learning can backfire.

I'm excited about the presentation I'm creating for ASTD 2008 in San Diego. However, as part of putting it together, I was searching for a comic that I know I saw years ago where people were making fun of an executive that had his assistant print out his emails and dictated his responses. Does anyone know where I would find such a comic or something like that? Or any ideas on searching for such a thing? I've tried various things on Google Images with little luck. BTW, the point I'm highlighting is how changes in technologies and/or methods can cause previous methods to become out of ...
