1. On-Line Learning Cheating? Webcam Monitors!
2. Role-Based Learning Focus Grows.
3. Learning & Pandemic Readiness at Learning 2007.
1. On-Line Learning Cheating? Webcam Monitors! As on-line education grows, colleges and other institutions are looking for ways to monitor cheating during "distant exams". A new device is being deployed that includes a 360-degree camera, motion and sound detection software as well as biometric verification, including fingerprint verification. If there is a person prompting the student, if they make a cell phone call or even if their performance suddenly spikes, these are all warnings to the system. A proctor can later review the tapes to see if the student broke the exam rules during the test.
Other colleges are avoiding test-based assessments and using random telephone interviews with students to review and verify their project-based assessments. Check out the article from CNN at http://www.masieweb.com/onlinecheat
2. Role-Based Learning Focus Grows: I recently returned from a trip that took me to Israel, London and the Netherlands. In each region, there was a marked increased focus on "Role-Based Learning". Organizations are more focused on roles than jobs, as roles can and do change rapidly. The key in learning development is to align the content and competencies to these changing roles.
3. Learning & Pandemic Readiness Exercise at Learning 2007: One of the interesting learning options at Learning 2007 will be a Pandemic Readiness Exercise. In a nutshell, how can the learning function in your organization prepare for a massive crisis like a Pandemic? What capabilities can be created to provide "readiness" for an organization to respond to a Pandemic? You will have the option of participating in a high-intensity simulation exercise that will highlight the key elements that a learning function can play in Pandemic Readiness Planning. Actual Pandemic plans and officers will be a part of this exercise. A number of organizations participating in Learning 2007 (Oct 21 to 24 - Orlando) are bringing their Pandemic planning groups to the event.
