Innovations in Online Learning: Moving Beyond No Significant Difference

Innovations in Online Learning: Moving Beyond No Significant Difference
"Leaders of the old paradigm community have a tremendous amount of time and energy invested in using the old rules," writes the author. ""The problem with applying old solutions to new problems in the world of online learning is that these applications tend to produce results that are 'as good as' what we have done before..." I think the findings in this paper are significant, echoing and supporting similar trends reflected elsewhere. More...

GeoLearning Integrates PrimeLearning.com?s Library of Online Business Skills Training Courses

'The Future of Ideas': Protecting the Old With Copyright Law

'The Future of Ideas': Protecting the Old With Copyright Law
The New York Times meets Lawrence Lessig. This review of 'The Future of Ideas' is a bit less than kind, characterizing Lessig as an idealist and his book as a manifesto, or, more accurately, what would be a manifesto if only it were "short, rousing and to the point." While the reviewer seems to admit that Lessig has a point - that copyright lawyers are stifling innovation and creativity on the internet - he seems to feel that the book misses its mark. More...

Microsoft Device to Bridge TV, PC

KM and Human Nature

KM and Human Nature
I ask you, when's the last time you saw a water cooler in an office? Much less people standing around the water cooler exchanging tacit knowledge? OK, how about in organizations like mine, where the bulk of the staff is in an office 1000 miles away? Or even on the typical universitry campus where most of the people you work with are on another floor or in another building. More...
