Le management pygmalion ou l'art de voir le verre à moitié plein
Par Didier Pitelet. La recherche en psychologie expérimentale souligne que le simple fait de croire dans les potentiels et les qualités d’un sujet améliore ses chances de succès. La psychologie positive apprend à regarder la singularité d’une personne à travers ses forces, à lui donner des feedbacks, mais sans jamais figer ce qui est identifié. Plus...

Blackboard Patents the LMS

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Lanny Arvan[Edit][Delete]: Current Thinking On LMS, Lanny on Learning Technology [Edit][Delete] July 6, 2006
Good article on the current state of the learning management system (LMS), perhaps best summarized by the author: "The LMS is an environment for managing course logistics and for promoting learning. Changes in IT that we're all observing can threaten and ultimately defeat the LMS, if LMS vendors don't adapt appropriately to that changing environment. There are some fairly straightforward changes that need to be made on the convenience front that will make information housed in the LMS accessible by student when using their cell phones, which is their preferred mobile device".

Learner Identity Management Framework
By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Unattributed[Edit][Delete]: Learner Identity Management Framework, AICTEC [Edit][Delete] June 14, 2006
The topic of personal identity - and therefore, learner identity (though not everyone considers the latter to be a subset of the former, which is a problem) continues to increase in importance in educational technology circles. This is, to my mind, a symptom of the reality that learners are affiliated less and less with a particular institution, which is a good thing. But what will a Learner Identity Management Framework (LIMF) look like? I have some concerns with this report tabled in Australia. For example, it calls for "A Trust Scheme" that "involves establishing ground-rules such that the owners of information can be confident that any data they transfer will be handled appropriately by the recipient." Come on. More...
Time Management Strategies for Online Teaching
By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Min Shi, Curtis J. Bonk and Richard J. Magjuka[Edit][Delete]: Time Management Strategies for Online Teaching, International Journal of Instructional Technology and Distance Learning [Edit][Delete]International Journal of Instructional Technology and Distance Learning [Edit][Delete] March 5, 2006
The authors consider the need for different time management strategies on the part of online instructors. Probably the best advice offered is to use the tools that are available - a little time spent learning how a tool is best used can save a lot of time in the long run. I would probably have added a section on sharing the workload, both with students (who can to a large degree answer each others' questions and moderate their own forums) and with colleagues (who can share notes, references and other resources).

Leadership&Management
By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Gene Bellinger[Edit][Delete]: Leadership&Management, Systems Thinking [Edit][Delete] March 5, 2006
My view (and I've expressed it often in my organization, which makes me really popular) is, as described in this short article, that "management [is] a supportive function rather than a directive function... management [is] a service providing function offering training, development, coaching, mentoring, and the like, rather than performing the traditional planning, organizing, directing and controlling functions." Thanks Rod for the link. More...
