424 - Patents by Google, YOU Publishing and Learning Implications
December 18, 2006
Learning TRENDS by Elliott Masie - Dec 18, 2006.
#424 - Updates on Learning, Business & Technology.
53,295 Readers - http://www.masie.com - The MASIE Center.
Host of LMS 2007 - April 12 & 13 - Las Vegas, NV, USA.
1. Patent Search Activity - Check Out Google!
2. Time's Person of the Year - YOU - Content Implications.
3. Extreme Learning LAB - 12 Spaces Left.
1. Patent Search Activity - Check Out Google! I've been quite concerned about some "iffy" patents in the learning area. A new tool from Google has made it much easier (and cheaper) to explore the strange world of granted
patents: Google Patents Online.
Check out this service at http://www.google.com/patents
Then, add phrases like learning, e-Learning, instructional design, curriculum and learning management
You'll see a host of interesting and, at times, "defensive" patents.
Time's Person of the Year - YOU - Content Implications: Time Magazine has designated "YOU Publishing" as the Person of the Year. The growth of MySpace, Facebook, YouTube, Blogs and Wikis are at the center of this focus. As content is more easily created and disseminated by YOU, we will see increasing opportunities and challenges in the learning world:
* Learning Systems (LMS, LCMS and Content Management) will need to deal with a much larger and more informal range of content - rapidly and widely published.
* Dynamic Content continues the shift from Read-Only to Read/Write/Change/Improve/Comment. Instructional designers will need to adapt their models to cope with content that will evolve beyond their control.
* Social Networks & Learning: We are just beginning to explore the impacts of social networks on how learners will contextualize and internalize information and knowledge.
* YOU Content and Compliance Lawyers: How will legal folks who live in the land of Compliance cope with content published by YOU?
3. Extreme Learning LAB - 12 Spaces Left: Start the New Year with a 3-day, very intensive Lab and Seminar that I teach a few times a year. Our Extreme Learning LAB will take place in Saratoga Springs on January 17-19. We only have a dozen seats left in this learning experience that addresses Mobile Learning, Rapid Development, Informal Learning, PodCasting, Gaming and Simulations. Info at http://www.masie.com
