    Back in June, I posted about the Three Tiers in the  Content Pyramid, a model I borrowed from Nick Shackleton-Jones of the BBC. The pyramid shows how high-end e-content can integrate with rapid content and user-generated content within an overall strategy working from both the bottom up and the top down: At the eLearning Network's July Showcase, a presentation I attended by Nicola Foster of Information Transfer, made me question whether the boundaries between the three tiers of the pyramid are all that distinct. Nicola's proposition was that, while rapid content development had ...

    The treatment matrix
    Tags: Tag One, Tag Two

    Christine Martell’s post on ASTD today concerns how we, as training natives, might need to adapt to use social learning.  She references Ray Jimenez’s post expressing similar concerns.  Christine asks, What do we do when content is generated by the users? Ray suggests we become trainer-facilitator-network weavers. Is our role shifting to be more of a guide? Creating rich resource pools which learners can dip into as needed?

    At the eLearning Network showcase event in July, I attended an interesting presentation on the use of learning communities made by Carole Bower of Futuremedia. Two aspects of the 'Performance Zone' site that Futuremedia created for private health care provider BUPA particularly caught my attention: LMS widgets: The site provides each user with a personalised home page that can be customised with all sorts of widgets, including RSS feeds, etc. These widgets draw heavily from the learning management system, but do not require the user to log into the LMS.
