Corporate E-Learning

Corporate E-Learning
A project completed for a course in educational technology, this website looks at "key issues to explore before committing to computer mediated instruction" in a corporate context.

Long-Life Learning Communities Based on PBL Courses

Long-Life Learning Communities Based on PBL Courses
There was once a time when I thought that online learning communities needed to be carefully structured in order to function.

Networks and Netwars: The Future of Terror, Crime, and Militancy

Networks and Netwars: The Future of Terror, Crime, and Militancy
Forget that this book is about terrorism, war, and political insurgency. Read it instead as a discussion of two different types of organization: the centralized hierarchy and the distributed network. Anything that can be organized - a system for creating and selling learning objects, the organization of an educational system, the campaign to reduce (or increase) advertising in schools, an online classroom - can be viewed as one of these two types of organization.
