Ave Rio, Chief Learning Officer, 2017/11/29
So here's something else being ruined. According to this article, "The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has given Grovo a registered trademark on 'microlearning.'" Actually, according to a comment, Grovo is merely trying to register the trademark, and hasn't yet been successful. More...

Buzzword Decoder: Kirkpatrick Levels of Evaluation

Buzzword Decoder: Kirkpatrick Levels of Evaluation
Pamela Hogle, Learning Solutions, 2017/11/29
You'll hear this quite a bit especially in corporrate learning, where it is common currency. At one of my recent project locations it's simply referred to as assessment 'levels'. The Kirkpatrick scale describes different levels of assessment, from Level 1 (reaction, for example, student surveys at the end of a class), Level 2 (learning), Level 3 (behaviour, "are employees doing things differently at work"), and Level 4 (results).

Can Learning Really Happen With Crowdsourcing?
Roy Saunderson, Training, 2017/11/28

Free White Paper - Cracking The Mobile Learning Code: xAPI And Cmi5
Steven Westmoreland, eLearning Industry, 2017/11/28
I downloaded this so you don't have to. My advice?
