Changing mental models from training to learning by Brigitte Jordan

Some food for thought from Brigitte Jordan

“Changing mental models and paradigms from a focus on training to a focus on learning involves a series of moves:

from individual learner		to learners in social settings
from individual skills		to the practices of a team or COP
from process orientation		to practice orientation
from didactic teaching		to activity-based learning
from linear thinking		to systems thinking
from school-based learning		to learning as a life activity
from one-shot learning		to continuous adaptation
from curriculum		to total learning environment
from top-down information dissemination		to lateral networks + peer communication
from product focus		to customer focus
from design from fantasy		to design from work practice
from requirements analysis		to work practice analysis
from implementation as delivery		to implementation as growing the practice
from providing training		to providing learning resources
from what employers want		to what frontline practitioners need”

Really interesting reflections from Mark re learning technologies 2010

I’m still reflecting but an initial  message that has stayed with me;

“Think big, start small, move fast”    Mark Oelhert

85+ resources social media and links

 

Lots of useful links and resources here

“a good starting point for finding the information and people that will help you make the transition into a ’21st century learning environment”

Trying to control PLEs?

I listened to this presentation about responsive open learning environments (ROLE project) at WOLCE.

The presentation and aims of the ROLE project seem to suggest that informal learning, personal learning environments and people can be controlled.

Yes it’s important to measure performance but for me, trying to capture and control the journeys, environments and learning of individuals is not the best way to do this.

Any thoughts?
