Understanding E-Learning 2.0 By Tony Karrer

Artículo recientito…de Tony Karrer, autor del blog eLearning Technology

Location: Los Angeles, California, United States

Dr. Tony Karrer is CEO/CTO of TechEmpower, a software, web and eLearning development firm based in Los Angeles, and is considered one of the top technologists in e-Learning and Performance Support.

A consistent pattern in our response to new technologies is we simultaneously overestimate the short-term impact and underestimate the long-term impact.

—Roy Amara of the Institute for the Future

There are some very interesting changes going on in the world of e-learning that seem to have crept up on practitioners. In a recent presentation of what is being referred to as E-Learning 2.0, I received perhaps the best comment from someone in the audience: «I’ve never heard of most of this before. This stuff is freaking me out.»

The point of this article is not to dive into great detail about these trends, but rather to inform workplace learning professionals about the possibilities. And, it’s likely that as you become more mindful of E-Learning 2.0 concepts and technologies, the experience will be similar to shopping for a particular car—you’ll suddenly notice it everywhere.

Base Trends

eLearning Technology: Wikis – Public vs. Controlled – Why There’s No eLearning Wiki

Name:Tony Karrer

Location:Los Angeles, California, United States

I received an email asking me if I knew of any Wikis that provided information on eLearning concepts. First, let me say that I really like getting questions. But, has anyone noticed that blogs don’t provide a means of asking questions that are not specific to a particular post? Thus, folks must send me email which is fine, but it means that people who read my blog can’t post answers. I guess I could create a «Questions» post where questions could be added in the comment. Does that make sense?

Okay, onto the question … the short answer is «None that I know» … there’s not really a place where you can find a Wiki that covers eLearning concepts. eLearning Technology: Wikis – Public vs. Controlled – Why There’s No eLearning Wiki(leer más…)
