Clarifications: Glow, VLEs, School filtering
The original quote was lifted and, I believe, altered for Friday's Times Education piece , originally from an interview which coasted onto the subject of Glow and its Virtual Learning Environment. learning styles. Glow offers a VLE, with the summative assessment element hugely stripped back, reflecting Scotland's world renowned work in Assessment for Learning , but it Whether through over-zealous editing, poor transferal of interview material from me, over compression of complex arguments or the fact that newspapers feel they can only put online what little will fit in the paper edition (and in the case of the TESS, put even less online than in the paper edition), I feel moved to clarify some of the remarks attributed to me .

The Changing Face of Learning - It's Here!
I have just finished writing the report for a very interesting study aimed at a reconceptualising a large organization's Training Division into a Learning Division, and exploring what that might mean for its structure, task orientation, skill sets, and correlated processes and policies. My report had a number of suggestions which were very much informed by all that I am seeing and experiencing in my work with various organizations and teams, and hearing in related communities of practice, about the changing face of learning. It was a fascinating exercise in both retrofitting and growing new functionality in the division, all the while maintaining ongoing delivery to support the institution's goals and objectives.

iLust? Changing the game
the possibility of running meaningful learning games is a real opportunity. With network connectivity, it can be social as well; in addition to the internet browser there are also already dedicated FaceBook and LinkedIn apps for the iPhone.
The ability to use the device not just for consumption, but for creation, is where we start turning this from an entertainment & learning platform into a productivity platform. Yesterday, in case you’ve been living under a rock, Apple released their take on the tablet computer, the iPad . Steve Jobs has been quoted

Facebook as a Learning Platform
He points us to a Fortune Magazine article that describes a Stanford class being offered by BJ Fogg that studies Facebook as a platform: "Facebook is the most convenient and respectable way to feel connected to friends, get updated on existing friends, find new people, build relationships and express identities." Facebook is a pretty simple application with fairly standard social network functionality. Facebook seems to be coming up everywhere the past few weeks. The most recent, which finally got me to post, was a Stephen Downes post - I'm Majoring in Facebook, How about

Communities / Social Networking and LMS Merger
Mzinga is a merger of KnowledgePlanet (an LMS provider and also the maker of the eLearning simulation tool - Firefly) and Shared Insights - a community / business social networking software company. This merger points to another direction - combination of LMS capability + community / social networking. The description of their offerings seem still mostly separate (communities Update 12/7/07 - Great comments from David Wilkins (see below) including: user-generated content is going to change eLearning; anyone who thinks otherwise or who is not yet planning for the shift is going to be left wondering what the heck happened in just a few years.

Social Pheromones and X-Reality
I have believed for a while that the killer apps for new interactive, immersive, visual interfaces will be virtual meetings, and distance learning. Everything else being equal, physical meetings and classroom learning are much preferred over their virtual and distance counterparts. So, the real research question is not which are better, virtual or physical meetings, distance or classroom learning. The MIT Media Lab is launching a new research initiative - X-Reality . Broadly speaking, X-Reality will focus on the integration between the virtual and real worlds

A closer look at using a social media platform ...
The last 2 weekends I have included a couple of short presentations that I have been producing to help organisations (business and education) understand the concept of social learning and how a social media/learning platform could help them. Part 1 was called The future of E-Learning is Social Learning , and Part 2 was Using Elgg as a Social Learning Platform . Since that time I have been asked by a number of people to provide a closer look at how a social media platform can help with providing, in particular, formal learnng but also how it can be used more widely for informal learning and collaboration.

The culture of social learning
Understanding Corporate Twitter , a post from an employee of EMC, got me thinking about the role of corporate culture in implementing the social learning platforms I’ve been calling learnscapes .
Social learning platforms are more a reflection of the people who use them, sprinkled with a corporate culture and the ability to make good connections.
Traditional training programs are a reflection of their designers, authors, and instructors. We have an extended core of “social people” at EMC.
