...Having read your articles about the below shifts <br />“learning as an event” --> “just-in-time” learning, <br />Pure Courseware --> Reference Hybrids <br /><br />I am confused about how to solve the problem of scattered research ? For example pure courseware would be very effective in delivery using asynchronous techniques but how would you put to gether material similar to that with widely scattered data ?James @ online phdhttp://onlinephduk.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22055982.post-88942765936769897602010-05-04T03:42:27.159-07:002010-05-04T03:42:27.159-07:00Hi,

A cunning consultant could put one together that would allow customization to fit different business needs.<br /><br />I don't know anything about those types of simulations, my realm is in virtual worlds as a communication channel. Using them to create activity areas to spark discussions with peers and/or teachers.<br /><br />Scripted simulations can work very well in virtual worlds. A photography course comes to mind in which the learner had to set up backgrounds, lighting, and a camera for different types of shots. The lights had menu driven selections for colour, intensity, spread and could also be moved in the studio. The camera had a menu driven selection for lenses, film speed, aperture and shutter. Scripts would check settings and positions and report back to the learner and SLOODLE their progress.subquarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11702449163382824605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22055982.post-53543271621293224442010-04-21T16:49:31.379-07:002010-04-21T16:49:31.379-07:00Doesn't it seem like there's a great Mgmt ...Doesn't it seem like there's a great Mgmt 101 simulation waiting to be done?Tony Karrerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15408035995182843336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22055982.post-58975479004716211962010-04-21T12:57:28.169-07:002010-04-21T12:57:28.169-07:00Learning as an event.

But we do need labels to be able to move conversations forward (for example, it is much faster to say the wheel fell off rather than the round object allowing my car to roll fell off).<br /><br />It's hard to move forward though when we keep coming back and renaming the wheel!<br /><br />The "event" ideally would be when the learner is ready as that is when they learn most easily. Something about when the student is ready . . . unless the teacher's wheel fell off.<br /><br />Just a pet peeve of mine. <br /><br />The leading edge of good teaching has not hanged in thousands of years. Content that is relevant to the user and an engaging teacher equals good teaching, regardless of the technology.<br /><br />There are, however, very compelling experiences that can be achieved with technology that enhance learning and help it get through to more people.<br /><br />As for blockbusters, old story lines work best. Take World of Warcraft, it's huge but then, making war, conquering, and so on are some of our oldest stories.subquarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11702449163382824605noreply@blogger.com
