Learning solutions now!

“And the actual nature of 21st century learners is resistant to learning options that are delayed and removed from the here and now. They are self-directed, adaptive, and collaborative in their approach to learning.”

“Digital media literacy continues its rise in importance as a key skill in every discipline andprofession.”

“The challenge is exacerbated by the fact that digital technologies morph and change quickly at a rate that generally outpaces curriculum development.”

Grow dynamic learners

“ This unpredictable unrelenting, and unforgiving environment of change requires organisations to cultivate dynamic learners – learners who know how to be rapid, adaptive, and collaborative in how they learn, unlearn and relearn.” Conrad Gottfredson

“Today already 47% of business technology users at North American and European companies report using one or more website(s) to do parts of their jobs that are not sanctioned by their IT department. We expect this number to grow to close to 60% in 2011 as frustrated workers work around IT to self-provision technology.”

ANALYSING BEST PRACTICE STRATEGIES

Page 30: Elearning innovation  - Presentation at the Vocational Education Summit

Learning management systems: Questions to ponder

• Are they inert/stagnant?• Are they locked down for the life of the course? • Can the teacher edit content easily & quickly -

anytime? • Do they engage the learner? Can the learners

connect?• Can students access and retain content after

they complete the course?

Page 31: Elearning innovation  - Presentation at the Vocational Education Summit

Analysing Best practice• Accessibility anywhere, anytime, any tool• Connection between fellow learners and facilitator/s• Real time and asynchronous• Ease of use• Bandwidth friendly• Variety• Engagement of the learner• When learner wants it!• Having fun, laughter social• Access to all learners – varying abilities• Developing ‘dynamic learners ‘ giving them skills to learn on

the run and in the future

Measuring success?

Jane Hart suggests • “measured by moving from an LMS to

social and collaboration tools/platforms”• “Defining objectives and how well

individuals meet those objectives.”Source: The Future of Learning is Social
