I'm honored...

Tony Karrer says I "exemplify smart blogging as a personal learning mechanism"... plus, he list some great blogs that I didn't know about, which will promptly go into my RSS reader.  The sad thing is, it's been a month and a half since my last post... and I actually got two response to my previous post, which I didn't know about.  The reason for the delay, is quite simply - work.  We're currently rolling out a big new program, with multiple course modules.  Actually, we had already finished it... but the boss didn't like them, and we had to re-make all of the modules.
 
In response to the comments from my last post (if anyone is still reading), I'm looking for stats to show my bosses that eLearning 2.0 (or whatever) is the way to go.  Maybe a study that shows how learning retention is increased when the student becomes a "creator" in the learning process. Or something else along those lines.  I wish I could be more specific, but the problem is - I'm not exactly sure what I'm looking for.  Since my last entry, I haven't really had a chance to even think about it again.
 
Well... time to get back to work.  And thanks to Tony Karrer for the mention!

I'm about half way through "The Business Case for E-Learning" by Thomas M Kelly and Nader A Nanjiani. It explores how Cisco System has evaluated its e-Learning systems and the enormous benefits they have brought to productivity. Might be a good read for your research!

I'm interested to know why the boss 'didn't like 'em' - was it for a valid reason or personal whimsy?

And why wasn't it signed off before development was completed?

You deserve the honor!

We believe there is a new paradigm in private education. I work to provide accessible tutoring to people whose kids need practice and cannot afford a mentor. My own mentor has written a well-regarded supplemental book for Algebra I and II called Using calculators and computers. While technology works in the classroom to engage his students in excellence in education, technology is ever-evolving. Our model reflects this growth. Our classroom is 3-dimensional in new and exciting ways.
