I have found that in learning one tool, it gives me enough background knowledge to make it is easier to pick up and learn a new tool on my own. Therefore, in training for e-learning, curriculum decision makers need to pick a tool that can provide relevant practice that can extend beyond that specific tool to others.Lea Ann Turnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05935497682264916942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10313978.post-22880993426113051862010-06-30T14:14:55.991-07:002010-06-30T14:14:55.991-07:00Great post.

If you need soft skills training such as leadership skills, negotiating or business communication skills or need to learn the latest in Cisco or Microsoft certifications I found a great non-profit that has been providing online education to adult jobseekers in 60 IT certifications in (Microsoft,Cisco, Oracle, Sun, A+, Net+, Security+ etc.) and Business (including Project Management certification) at www.nefuniversity.org. Try their sample courses to find out how easy the courses are to use and the quality of the courseware. Then you will find out yourself why these courses are the best value available.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196584924400926985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10313978.post-64513331658270074232010-06-27T07:19:22.785-07:002010-06-27T07:19:22.785-07:00My post's comments regarding HTML5 and Flash o...My post's comments regarding HTML5 and Flash opened some discussion so I want to expand on my opinion in the following post. <a href="http://minutebio.com/blog/2010/06/26/what-i-would-like-to-say-about-html5-and-flash/" rel="nofollow">What I Would Like to Say About HTML5 and Flash</a>Jeff Goldmanhttp://www.minutebio.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10313978.post-53213857768270375452010-06-23T01:45:51.193-07:002010-06-23T01:45:51.193-07:00A view from Clive ShepherdA view from <a href="http://clive-shepherd.blogspot.com/2010/06/big-question-what-tools-should-we-learn.html" rel="nofollow">Clive Shepherd</a>Clive Shepherdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02798059102416534284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10313978.post-67283935370526607002010-06-08T11:43:34.709-07:002010-06-08T11:43:34.709-07:00Tony,
This is a great question because it begs an...Tony,<br /><br />This is a great question because it begs an answer to an even bigger question: What role will we be playing in 2015? I think if we can answer that question, the question about which tools we will need to learn will be more apparent.<br /><br />My sense is that by 2015 we will be in the role of Mentors and Coaches to the people who are learning. The role of 'gatekeepers of the knowledge' will be greatly diminished. <br /><br />We will be called upon to provide solutions to organizational problems that can be solved or resolved by teaching new knowledge or know-how. The tools we will need are new skills for mentoring and coaching more than learning any new technology.<br /><br />Being able to provide a clear ROI will also be part of our job description. ROI analytics and spreadsheets that exist today, will be the tools we will need to learn in whatever version they evolve to in 2015. <br /><br />Measurement will be much more longitudinal and we will be involved with the learner from the starting line (the initial program - online course - class) and then act as the downstream point-of-contact. Those tools exist today - e.g. smartphones, 1:1 web conferencing. I wonder how many of us use them today as part of our programs? <br /><br />We also will need to know and be be adept with Social Media and Social Networking tools and technology. I think that we will rapidly move to Learning 2.0, which will include whatever Social Media and Social Networking is prevalent in 2015. So the added tools to learn would story boarding website design for learning websites / portals, podcasting, video production, using virtual instruction tools such as WebEx.<br /><br />Again, I believe it's the answer to what role we will be playing in 2015 that will determine what tools we need to learn. And I also believe that determining that role is up to us between now and then.David Grebowhttp://www.knowledgestar.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10313978.post-63268804848117835262010-06-07T12:45:45.966-07:002010-06-07T12:45:45.966-07:00What tools should we learn?

We should teach problem solving and algorithm construction, not Java or ActionScript or... whatever. (There is a slight exception here. If you go to work for Sun, say, they're going to expect you to programme in Java, so their specific induction programme will have Java programming, but the general course should still be in the more general skill.)<br /><br />Similarly, we should teach tools for rapidly learning and developing assessment routines and use cases for various new tools that people offer to us rather than teaching "This is how you use blogger" or "This is how you use WordPress."<br /><br />I'm sure people will want to be able to practise those skills with some real code and some real tools but if it's well structured training you should be able to deliver the core concepts as platform, tool and language agnostic, and either offer your current favourite language with clear indicators that it is just your current favourite not "the best" or allow people to develop a range of programming language skills in parallel to let them deliver their algorithm converted into working code in a number of languages.<br /><br />Similarly for tools - once they've got the techniques to assess them, you can just tell them to go practise on 1, 20, 100 new tools and make their recommendations that way. That's far easier these days.Eloisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00645110245532917138noreply@blogger.com
