I received the following question via the Google Talk widget on my blog: “I saw the ad for the Multi-Generational report you did. I like the alternative viewpoint that maybe the multi-generational thing isn’t a big deal as it is being discussed at all the industry trade shows. I am not yet buying into the idea that we need to create Facebook, SecondLife, learner-driven content (e.g., wiki, texting) type learning simply because the younger generation learns that way.” That last part - basically the idea that we need to use “2.0″ tools and technologies ...

I promised I would get back to providing some more results from the search results for "Distinguished Engineering Lecture Series" ... it just took me a while!  However, at this point I've added everything to the Engineering Learning Wiki and it's search engine for seminars. If your desire is for computer science lectures to monitor what's happening in this field: Computer Science at Columbia Computer Science at the University of Illinois For something quite different, link to this series sponsored by Nokia on how Cyber-physical computer systems (CPS) interact ...

Image by ____federico____ via Flickr Jim and I met earlier this year.  He is doing his doctoral dissertation by creating a case study examining the use of wikis and podcasts for training and performance improvement within an organization.  The company he was working with changed leadership and decided not to participate in the research.  In fact, their commitment to using Web 2.0 tools was in question.  (Boo!) From Jim’s email: I am looking for help in locating a potential company to participate in a case study.  Although I had been targeting both wikis and podcasts, I can ...

Brandon Hall Research is the type of company where you own your ideas. That means when you have an idea, it’s your to implement. I seem to have settled in to all things ’social media’ after embracing social networks, blogging, microblogging, wikis, and presence technologies. As a result, I ended up not getting enough 2.0 action myself but rather working with other people to establish their own blogs, wikis, Twitter accounts, social networks, and wikis, etc. Truly a gratifying experience. How nice to run across some photos and videos of what was an awesome week it was.

Avoiding the 5 Most Common Mistakes in Using Blogs with Students The 5 mistakes outlined in this article are 1. “Ineffective contextualization” (not thinking about the best way to use blogs, usually self-reflection) 2. “Unclear Learning Outcomes” 3. “Misuse of the environment” (treating blogs like wikis or discussion forums) 4. “Illusive grading practices” (lacking clear rubrics) 5. “Inadequate time allocation” (both for students to write and instructors to grade and give feedback) tags: e-learning, education, blog, writing ...

Saw a post by Matthew Franz - where he tells us - I don't get e-learning 2.0 - and it made me wonder if Franz is a training specialist - who's not looking at more than training as a model for learning. Here's what he said:I just don't get why folks are trying to lump in wikis, blogs, rss, etc. as "e-learning."RSS, Blog, Wikis, etc. are fundamental workplace tools in the same way that other tools (office applications, web applications, the Internet etc.) are also tools, but ... discussion.) But when you come out and essentially say that there's nothing that interesting about Wikis, Blogs ...

Socialtext 3.0 came out today and geez did Twitter light up. I checked out the site and watched the 60 second video and then went to blip.tv and watched the other videos and yeah, more impressed than when I started. According to the site, Socialtext 3.0 is comprised of three parts: Socialtext People - Social networking for the enterprise Socialtext Workspace - Group-editable wiki for easy, flexible, enterprise-wide              ... , Facebook, Wikis and more all rolled up in a nice, neat appliance that I can just install behind my firewall - a ...

Here is one I just started fooling around with on PicoWiki. If I could take a picture of this running on my iPhone with my iPhone I would- I'm just not that limber. The phone display though is nice and readable and the updates pipe through to the Web side quickly.

So most of what I'm covering here has probably already been covered by the indefatigable Jane Knight, but I'll risk redundancy and give it a shot. TiddlyBackPack: I've been a fan of TiddlyWiki for a while and guess I just didn't make the leap to thinking about putting it on a USB drive. My issue though revolves around updates. Say I use this send out a manual, a great use for a wiki, then I have static copies of a wiki...I guess it'd be good for organically growing a collection of information but it really does pull out the collaboration aspect of wiki-dom doesn't it?

Ever have the need to know how to do something in Adobe Acrobat, Dreamweaver, Fireworks, Flash, Illustrator, Photoshop and a host of other tools? Then link to Adobe's Video Center for free, high quality eLearning / simulations. In order to insure crisp graphics, make certain you put your browser into the full screen mode with at least 1024x768 screen resolution. Given the inclusion of Dreamweaver and Flash, I will add the content to the Engineering Learning Wiki engineering design tools and software sections.
