Location Isn’t A War Between Two Sides, It’s A Gold Rush For Everyone
Over the course of almost 10 years we’ve seen social get baked into everything from photo sharing to financial tools. Editor’s note : This post was written by Joe Stump , the co-founder of SimpleGeo , a geolocation infrastructure company. While much of the focus in location these days is on the front-end side of things, SimpleGeo focuses on the backend, allowing startups to very easily get started with geolocation.

How Cheap Could Computing Get: Free? NComputing Thinks So
Of course, it'll never get there, as someone has to make a profit for the business to function. If you assume a desktop computer's a big box full of chips, hard drives and other paraphernalia, it's hard to see how to make it cheaper. Unless you go down the virtualization route: NComputing thinks the ultimate cost could be zero. Ncomputing makes powerful

  • Online Learning Course Design
    The Work Literacy online learning course is over and Michele Martin - Deconstructing the Work Literacy Learning Event and Harold Jarche - Post Work Literacy have posted their thoughts around the event. Here are some thoughts on the course and the implications for design of similar kinds of online learning courses. Social Network as Course Platform Like social networks generally, Ning, unfortunately feels a bit scattered. We also have some great Feedback from Participants . I think they've both captured a lot of what worked and could have been changed.

  • eLearning Course Development
    BJ Schone asks a good question in his post - How do you build eLearning courses? I have built our courses using a custom template created using HTML and JavaScript. They stressed that my courses would be difficult to maintain over time (in case I leave the company). My point of view was a little different: They couldn't believe I wasn't using Lectora or another similar authoring product. I

  • Test SCORM Courses with an LMS
    I was just asked by someone about how they could test a course they were creating against a particular Learning Management System (LMS) (in this case Docent 6.5). We are developing a SCORM or AICC compliant course either custom or using an authoring tool . And we run into the same tough situation each time: If there's an integration issue, like the score or completion is not getting set appropriately, we want This is something we run into fairly often. We don't have direct access to a version of the LMS to test on.

  • Course and Courseware Fading - The Future of eLearning
    Two very good recent posts by Jay Cross and Brent Schlenker discuss the Death of Courses. Courses and Courseware are not really dead and will never die out completely. believe that many courses will begin to include different kinds of interation. But, there will still be courses at the end of the day. If you read my blog you know that I've discussed similar themes (see Shift in eLearning from Pure Courseware towards Reference Hybrids and Start with Courseware or With the Other Stuff? ) and I have the same basic feeling that there is definitely a shift going on.

  • Crash Course in Visual Thinking
    Please, tell me that I won't think that's good design by the end of this crash course? Based on my post - VizThink and Visual Thinking - I've received quite a bit of input. If you've not really thought about the connections between visual representations and eLearning, it's likely worth going to the post and reading the comments. If you've ever doubted the value of blogging, this to me has been an exceptional

  • Beyond the course
    Without going into all the thinking (it’s elaborated more in several places, including this white paper ; PDF), the point is that supporting people in performance includes not just courses, but content and job aids, and connections to people.  The social network provides the rest of the support around the courses which really only serve the situation where a major skill-shift change is needed. In the process of thinking through how to support informal learning, I was reminded of a diagram I created several years ago.  I started from an approach based upon philosophy that

The intention of the blog is to open up the conversation around course design and delivery and changing value points in education.

  • How Long Should an eLearning Course Be?
    Interesting question posed in eLearn Magazine article: How Long Should an E-learning Course Be? Interestingly the author chooses to sidestep the question he poses and instead gives a direct answer to a different question (focusing on modules that are parts of a course): What is a good length for a module? In a one-hour course, it's absolutely fine to have two 18-minute modules and one 24-minute module. Through countless hours of instructional design, field testing, and client feedback, I have found that 30 minutes is about the maximum, and less than 15 is too short. The
