elearninglearning Updates

By
The elearninglearning site managed by Tony Karrer has come a long way in the last one year. It plays a significant role in bringing together some of the best elearning blogs on the Internet, thanks to Tony's efforts. My blog too came a long way after getting listed, as it was one of the most exciting and encouraging achievements for me. I'm really late to post this announcement, but the site now has a new look and some new options as well:
  • A new feed that is just the "Best of" which are basically the hot lists and other similar supporting items.
  • You can of course also subscribe to a "Full feed" of the site.
  • There is also an email subscription option at the top right of the page.
  • A blogpost describes how people can participate in the site.
Some interesting topics from Tony are:
I wish Tony good luck and I hope a lot more enthusiastic bloggers get listed on elearninglearning.

Big Question: OMG I'm Stuck!!

By
This months Big Question is about Stuck?Getting Unstuck? Stuck, is exactly how I feel, and the reason I started blogging and connecting with people. My blog becomes a forum to get my ideas out. So there's the problem and the solution right there! But come on now, don't we all feel stuck at different points in our work or even personal life? Well, being stuck is very much a reality as anything else, and I've felt this way many times before. Each place I worked posed different kinds of challenges, but to get to the point, here we're talking about being stuck in your organization with a lot of great ideas about how to improve things around you and the service you deliver to the customer. There are several reasons why one gets 'stuck' so to say: Your organization is just very happy doing what they always have been doing as it earns them money anyway. Your team members, who drive a lot of the initiatives because they've been around longer than you, just don'...

Of Android, Mobile Games and Learning Experiences

By
I never thought I'll write about learning games and mobile learning until I bought my Android. People have asked me, why Android phone? My answer has been that I love Android as it is breaking new ground for mobile computing and open technologies. Android is versatile as it is not limited only to mobile phones, but it can be installed on various devices. Android gives developers the opportunity to leverage their development skills, while also building an exciting and active community, just as ground breaking as Java. Just thought of adding this: "When technologies don't restrain you, they enable you to innovate." I truly believe open technologies are the future! I couldn't have written this post without experiencing the real thing. I had set aside to buy my Android (Nexus S) after some expenses were out of the way. But my 5 year old Nokia gave in and I had no other choice but to buy my Nexus immediately. I am extremely happy. Having the power of a smartphone ,...

Kirkpatrick Four Level Evaluation Model?

By
Donald Kirkpatrick coined this model in 1975 and it could most probably be outdated. He talks about the four levels of evaluation of a course: Level1: Reaction- Observe and record learner reaction to a training. Level2: Learning- The extent to which learners change attitudes, increase knowledge, and/or increase skills. Level3: Behavior- The extent to which change in behavior occurs on the job. Level4: Results- The final outcomes that occur as a result of training. I find this interesting though not surprising as the levels seem to be quite obvious. The model says you need to use 2-3 tools to evaluate each level and you need to define the measurement at the beginning of every project. The figure gives a matrix of the measurement required at each level. Another thing he says is if you don't get past level 2, you aren't using Kirkpatrick. Also he claims that using this model will cause a minimum wastage in your training investment. I would like to try this out whe...
