referred to supporting the activities that we find in natural learning, for both formal and informal learning.  In thinking about it (and borrowing heavily from some slides by Jay Cross ), I discerned (read: worked hard to fit :) 7 C’s of learning that characterize how we learn before schooling extinguishes the love of learning: Crash : our commitment means we make mistakes, and learn from them. Yesterday I talked about the seeding, feeding, and weeding necessary to develop a self-sustaining network. I

Seed, feed, & weed
In my presentation yesterday, I was talking about how to get informal learning going.  Jay Cross talks about the learnscape , while I term it the performance ecosystem. Overall, it taps into our natural learning, where we experiment, reflect, converse, mimic, collaborate, and more.  As many have noted, it’s about moving from a notion of being a builder, handcrafting (or mass-producing) solutions, to being a facilitator, nurturing the community to develop it’s own capabilities.  The point, however, is from the point of the view of the learner, all

Facilitating Learning
In last night’s #lrnchat on instructional design,there was some discussion of the term ‘learning facilitator’ versus ‘trainer’ (which now I can’t find!?!), It leads me to think about what is learning, and why we are arguing that the new role in the organization will be for learning facilitation, not for ‘instruction’ or ‘training’. and it got me wondering.  I’ve also been thinking about a set of talks I may be giving, and how to break them up.

  • The Reality of Virtual Learning
    Presented to the Defense Learning Academy, Cornwall, Ontario, January 30, 2008. I’m looking at a particular slice of online learning, not the whole field of online learning, obviously. But my background is in philosophy and as a philosopher I’ve learned over time to look at reality in different perspectives and in different lights.
