The ecological learning design framework development is something what i consider the main work of my last period besides participating in the development of the iCamp intervention model in elearning2.0. Here are the slides of the ecological learning framework: ...Tags: We have in Tallinn University nice tradition to re-elect researcher positions every 4 years. My position is now recruited and part of getting it back it is to give a report of my last period work.

They can use them for learning, playful activities, marketing and other ways. As Recent month i have been trying to write together with Mauri Kaipainen about the “Narrative ecology” course results. In principle, we come up with some theoretical baseline how writing narratives happens in new hybrid ecosystems, and how it may be represented ontologically and used for detecting more about the new standards of writing stories in Web 2.0. Finally

The paper introduces a new approach to writing narratives in virtual learning communities of the social Web 2.0 I have struggled in formulating the narrative swarming in hybrid ecosystem as a participatory design experiment. It can be it is not yet simple enough for the intended book , but i feel i cannot cut away much more too. It is hard to present visual

It gives some input to the model of ecosystems (learning ecology) . Ecology of social search for learning resources Vourikari 2005) introduced a system to harness the social perspectives in learning where the learner could choose from whom to take recommendations (friend or algorithm). Koper Koper (2005) used indirect social interaction in choosing a Few days ago Hans Põldoja told me that Riina Vuorikari has been using the ecology concept in her social retrieval studies. Specifically it shows that the reuse of traces that users leave to ecosystem is not so prevalent

The 7th Framework project Intelligent Learning Extended Organization ( IntelLEO ) was launched in february 2009. Effective Learning and Knowledge Building is boundary crossing Knowledge METHODS AND SERVICES RELATED TO COLLABORATIVE LEARNING AND KM IN INTELLEO Since then we have been working with the first deliverables. It is now clear that the team has a lot of Web 2.0

In a Learning 2.0 world, where learning and performance solutions take on a wider variety of forms and where churn happens at a much more rapid pace, what new skills and knowledge are required for learning professionals? learning professional (or any learner, for that fact. What the heck IS a learning This month’s “Big Question” from Tony Karrer jolted me out of my sun-gardening-induced blogging lethargy to reply to this question: My friends and colleagues already nailed most of what I would write (see links below) , addressing the full range

After posting my 4 Meta Skills for Learning Professionals in response to Tony’s July “Big Question,” he commented: was hoping that you would provide insight into the core skills and knowledge around communities and networks that learning professionals should have? What’s the 5 minute and 60 minute learning piece that all knowledge workers should have to go through so they will be better at this? It is hard to let some Tony Karrer disappointment persist. Nancy - I was super excited when I saw that you had posted on the topic.

  It’s funny how we all associate Google with learning , rather than just s earching. But searching and learning are not one and the same. Consider After hours of related search I’m not learning much, relative to the time I put in. Why haven’t more people tried to create learning For specific information, I can see why: a single result for Oxfordian theory , for example, satisfies my needs pretty well. Not bad for a time investment of a few seconds.

This morning at the ungodly hour of 4:30 am PDT (GMT -7) I shared some of my ideas about connecting the formal learning in universities to the wider, networked world to a group of learning professionals at Tartu University, in Estonia. This was part of School - From Teaching Institution to Learning Space which took place April 02 - 03, 2009 at the Estonian University of Life Sciences conference centre (Kreutzwaldi 1A, Tartu), Estonia.  During the conference you could watch the conference online http://video.ut.ee . First, there is always the challenge of plopping

For a good number of years, both Knowledge Management and Learning have always been associated with one another and overlapping quite a bit. Plenty of organisations are eventually using terms like Learning & Knowledge to refer to that process of knowledge sharing and collaborating; and, in a way, with the emergence of social software within the corporate environment, I am sure we will be seeing both disciplines come together even more! To that extent, and in order to spark further conversations on the topic, while I get to finalise my thoughts on that very same subject, I thought I would share with you folks a couple of interesting links over here, rather quick, to perhaps come back to it at a later time.
