1. Gamers Solve Decade Old Enzyme Puzzle in 10 Days! Scientists from Washington University have been struggling for the past decade to decipher the complex structure of an enzyme that exhibits AIDS-like behavior, and which might hold a critical role in building a cure for the disease. Gamers playing spatial game Foldit have managed to collectively determine the enzyme’s structure in ten days.

This has great implications for the role of gaming and “crowd inventing”! Now, let’s apply this to our learning design models.
2. My Global Trip to Asia and Middle East Scheduled: I will be spending a month on a global learning trip - including stops in Singapore, Beijing, Manila and Dubai - starting on November 15th. If you or your colleagues are in those locations, please send me a note. As always, it would be fun to meet and dialogue with peers from around the world. Send a note to masie2@masie.com
I look forward to connecting with you and your global colleagues.
3. 167 Learning Sessions and Activities: In just 3 weeks, we will be wrapping up Learning 2013 in Orlando.
