E-Learn Magazine Predictions for 2009
Lisa Neal, Editor-in-Chief, eLearn Magazine, informed me that eLearn Magazine's Predictions for 2009 came out last week (including one I made). See: http://www.elearnmag.org/subpage.cfm?section=articles&article=72-1. Lisa encourages you and your friends and colleagues to read and add to the predictions, and include a link on your website or blog.
In addition, eLearn Magazine is looking for new columnists; so let Lisa know if you are interested in writing a column (under 1,000 words) or submitting a new article.
Ok, I am back from a very successful E-Learn 2008 Conference in Las Vegas. I actually got home a few days ago, but it has taken a little while to catch my breath. We set attendance records with more than 1,000 attendees. We had a highly engaging and rewarding preconference symposium on e-learning in Asia with 12 participants from 12 countries. We will turn that into a special journal issue on e-learning in Asia during the next few months and perhaps a print on demand book. We also had many excellent keynote and invited addresses. What a week it was! If you unfortunately missed the conference, one of the fantastic keynote speakers at the E-Learn 2008 Conference last week in Las Vegas was Dr. Roy Pea from Stanford University. I have… Continue reading
Language Translation Capacity added to E-Learn Blog
Participants in the E-Learn 2008 Blog can now view postings in quite a few languages. You simply enter the Blog off the E-Learn 2008 Las Vegas home page and then click on the Translate Blog link below the blue Resource Links button. I read through the Spanish translation and it was quite accurate…E-Learn Keynote and Invited Speakers Introduced Using…..
All E-Learn 2008 Keynote and Invited speakers were asked to respond to the following questions in an effort 1) to give attendees insights into their perspectives and histories on technology and 2) to avoid reading brief bios readily available to E-Learn participants via other resources: a. When was the first time you used a computer? b. Do you ever purposefully try to stay away from technology? If yes, what do you do? (e.g., technology free weekends) c. Can you name a couple of unique ways that technology has affected your personal or professional life in a positive way? (e.g., online Flickr account, mobile learning, etc.) d. If you hadGot Twitter?
Got Twitter? I don’t mean only in “do you have a twitter account?”. That’s the easy part. I’m referring to whether you’ve wrapped your mind around what twitter is and why it’s getting so much attention.
Twitter is best seen as a tool for staying in touch with, and aware of, others. (for a more advanced exploration of the utility of twitter see: social grooming). Or you might find this short video overview of Twitter useful.
How do you get started?
- Set up an account
- Find some people to engage with (or in Twitter language, friends). E-Learn 2008’s Twitter profile is here. My profile is here. Feel free to post your

E-Learning Asia Day Pre-Conference Symposium is a Go!
The E-Learn Asia Day Pre-Conference Symposium was initiated with enthusiastic welcoming remarks by Curtis Bonk and Gary Marks. The first speaker, Dr. Okhwa Lee from Korea, spoke on different types mentoring based on her survey data that indicate the important role that mentoring plays in the academic success and personal satisfaction of online students. The preferred methods of receiving mentorship were via monitoring the mentoring homepage, via telephone and through chatting. As we know, Generation Y does not rely on e-mail as you. And she found that out.
Okhwa (Dr. Lee) has a pulse on many e-learning happenings in Korea. It showed. You should definitely meet her at this conference…
Getting ready for E-Learn
E-Learn 2008 is shaping up to a great learning experience for conference attendees and presenters. A quick look through the conference program reveals a good blend of theory, practice, research, and technology. Congrats to organizers! One of the more substantial trends in education - and history may well render this the most substantial development in over the last century - is a growing shift to openness within education. Keynote and invited speaker addresses in this years conference will be speaking to this topic. It is, much like attention to global warming, a quiet revolution that has no clear centre, yet promises to substantially reorganize society and education in particular. This topic was a recent focus in an online course I'm co-facilitating. What is openness? What are open educational resources? What about… Continue readingInterview with Dr. Ellen Wagner, E-Learn 2008 Keynote Speaker
