The great thing about blogs is that you don't even have to be around, and people still come visiting. I haven't posted in ages (hoping this will start to change as my work-life settles back in), but responses are still coming in to my survey. As of today, 166 instructional designers have responded to the survey: Do You Have a Degree in ID? About 34% of instructional designers have an advanced degree in ID . And 66% of us don't. As reported earlier , there continues to be a wide range of backgrounds for IDers, mostly in the liberal arts. View the latest survey results here.

I am going through one of the CCK08 readings for this week, “Cloudworks: social networking for learning design”. (I would reference the author but I can’t find one on the given materials - only clue is the document title conole_ascilite).

Think about the object as the reason why people affiliate with each specific other and not just anyone... The fallacy is to think that ...

My son, who is a sophomore at Bridgewater State College , texted me Friday. He was fuming about an incident in his Intro to Communications class. The teacher has a strict attendance policy: if you miss more than two classes you have 20% deducted from your final grade. My son attends class once a week for three hours (on a Friday, no less).

The professor told Kenny he would be marked as absent for using the laptop to send an email ...

Part of the discussion is Where Will the Change Come From? and reading the comments on the post: If You Believe It's Broken - How Do You Change Our Industry/Models/etc? is interesting. As is Tom's post: Providing a change model . But, Tom is way off when he says: I found that software developers have a change model in mind for the widespread adoption of Web 2.0 tools. They think it will never happen. Quite the contrary is true. Web 2.0 is having a ...

In a reply to my posting E-learning: An oxymoron? , which discussed Jakob Nielsen's rather negative views on the efficacy of e-learning, Tom Werner of Brandon-Hall brought some interesting research to my attention: The research (Sitzmann et al., 2006, a meta-analysis of 96 studies) refutes Nielsen's point. It's the instructional method, not the delivery medium, that makes the difference. When web-based instruction and classroom instruction that have similar methods (feedback, practice, etc.) are compared, there's little or no difference in outcomes. This is interesting to ...

I was looking through some course materials from a few years back and found these ten rules of thumb for adult learning. They predate the debate on formal/informal learning, so relate mainly to the design of formal training interventions. Anyway, the issues that interest me are: (1) can they be validated by research? (2) do they still apply in practice? (3) are there more relevant/useful rules of thumb out there? All of these require your help.

By and large, the figures coming out of industry surveys in recent times have been kind to e-learning. There's more of it about and a generally positive disposition, at least in the case of employers, to use more of it in future. Naively, I rather supposed that this was a sign that the quality of e-learning was improving and that e-learners were more likely than not to be having positive experiences. That's the theory anyway. In practice, it seems that whenever I find myself in the company of trainers and learners from outside the e-learning community, I hear the same old complaints: boring ...
