2. Labeling Content That is Open - Methods Please?
1. The “iPad” - Spotlighted as “Game Changer” Learning Award! The iPad will receive this award at Learning 2011 as a powerful “Game Changer” in the field of learning, knowledge, collaboration and performance.
“Apple’s iPad has put a spotlight on evolving “affordances” for learning, teaching, knowledge access and collaborating by introducing the most widely used Tablet computing device. From the power of a personal “second screen”, to the provocative shift to multi-touch image/data manipulation, to the form factor of thin and affordable learning apps, we are tracking wide and deep innovations triggered by the iPad. In the coming years, this shift will continue with new content, collaboration and performance supporting applications for tablets and other mobile devices. Thanks, iPad, for getting this started!” said Elliott Masie, host of Learning 2011.
We are also honored that Antonia Galindo, Director of Apple Sales Training, will both accept the award at Learning 2011 and engage in a keynote dialogue focused on Global Learning. Details about the iPad Award at Learning 2011 and more at http://www.learning2011.com/ipad
In addition, every participant will have an opportunity to help develop a series of Learning Apps, demonstrating new design models for leveraging tablet devices for learning, knowledge access, collaboration and organizational readiness. For example, we will brainstorm Learning Apps that could be used for onboarding, leadership development, relocation, performance reviews, compliance requirements and other key workplace events.
2. Labeling Content That is Open - Methods Please? When your organization places learning content or other content (documents, video, pdf’s, elearning modules) in the “open”, how do you label or explain the rights of use? For example, if your company had a great video on safety or compliance and wanted to share it with the larger community - how would you label or indicate that it was free for use - and whether people had the right to re-distribute, link, charge or edit? Do you use a standard like Creative Commons, a modified copyright statement or other means? Could you please send me a note ASAP to emasie@masie.com
As content is shared more widely and freely, methods of accurately labeling rights and restrictions are ever more important. The MASIE Center will be highlighting this in coming months and I could really use feedback from our TRENDS Readers.
Yours in learning,
