  1. New Paths in Elearning George Siemens

  2. Why are you using elearning?

  3. Uses for elearning • Strategic advantage • Reduce costs • Rapid learning/development • Increase capacity for performance

  4. Trends • Mobile • Decentralization • Global • New Learning Context • Informal • Continual • Embedded in workplace • Rapid

  5. Impact of Trends • Learning=life line in complex, knowledge environments • Interconnected nature of organization and individual • Systems thinking • Chaos theory • Complexity theory

  6. Where are you succeeding in elearning? • Design

  7. Where are you succeeding in elearning? • Technology

  8. Where are you succeeding in elearning? • Delivery

  9. Where are you succeeding in elearning? • Learner involvement

  10. What’s wrong? • Current elearning approach is not sustainable • Cost of content creation • Content obsolescence • Mismatch – learning environment and real-life learning • Too much information – can’t process under existing models

  11. What’s wrong? • Learning: chaotic, nebulous, aggregation, pattern recognition, distributed cognition, social “continual suspended certainty”, JIT • Our current learning tools: LMS, LCMS: structured, hierarchical, rigid, in advance of need

  12. Centralized vs. Decentralized Complexity requires decentralization

  13. What’s happening? • Which tools are you currently using for learning?

  14. Let’s Build an Airplane… • Knowledge is distributed • Complexity requires aggregation • Aggregation provides whole picture

  15. A new path… • Networks • Connected specialization • Adaptive learning models • Diversity of approaches • Simple, social tools • Learning and KM

  16. The role of content • Is content still king?

  17. Connectivism • Learning as network-creation • Meaning as pattern recognition • Tools aligned to inherent nature of task

  18. Tools: Email Blended F2F Social technologies Distributed Communities Mobile SOSS CMS Networks Let’s get practical Connections to content Connections to people

  19. How can we implement tools and approaches that work?
