Knowledge, Learning, Community
Here's another item from the RSS-less Learning Circuits magazine. Carliner's three trends are:
- A More Responsive E-Learning ("The use of systems to provide helpful advice during learning and to facilitate interpersonal communication is also likely to increase in the coming years.")
- E-Learning by Assignment ("David Merrill agrees... observes that much of that content in the workplace-both informal and formal-will be developed by subject matter experts, whom he labels 'instructional-designers-by-assignment.')
- E-Learning as a Way of Life ("e-learning will become part of the standard repertoire of all learning groups and most learning professionals, and will regularly be offered as one of the choices for presenting content. ")
The predictions are a bit incongruous; the first and third make sense but the second appears to be out of place. Via Tom Werner.
