New Blog

I set up another blog that is capturing some of my thoughts and research on elearning. I think you will find some of the posts interesting especially when it comes to collaborative learning

Learning and Social Networking

I think one of the key changes we need to consider over the next season as we develop new ways of enhancing learning is to recognize how learning happens naturally outside of the classroom. Bob Carlton fired me over a link which is a discussion with Danah Boyd. Here is the blurb about her:

boyd, a Ph.D. candidate at the University of California, Berkeley's School of Information, explores how young people negotiate the presentation of self in online mediated contexts. Her research focuses on how this young audience engages with "digital publics" - connected social spaces such as MySpace, LiveJournal, Xanga and YouTube.

Course Design

I have justed added another category into the blog under eLearning. I think that we need to consider some more of the options and learn the trends with this as it is being reformed via some of the influence of social networks. There is a very interesting article on Tong Karrer's blog about course design that highlights the common mistakes of what is happening at the moment within many of the eLearning solutions.
