1. Martin Bean - Open University, Open MOOCs - Keynote at Learning 2013!
We are honored to announce that Martin Bean, the Vice Chancellor of the Open University in the UK and a major innovator in the field of MOOCs, will be a keynoter at Learning 2013.
Martin has been a pioneer in the world of learning for decades and is only the 4th person to lead the very influential Open University in the UK. He will be honored by us at Learning 2013 (Nov 3 to 6, 2013) and I will interview him about the role of Open learning, including MOOC’s (Massive Open Online Courses). He has launched Futurelearn in the UK, to promote highly scalable MOOC’s.
In addition to Martin Bean, keynoters include Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton, Actor George Takei, Journalist Jane Pauley (on Boomers) and several others.

2. Google and Bing Impacts on Learning and Design?
A major conversation has kicked up in the elementary and secondary school world about the impact that search engines like Google and Bing have on educational design and even needed competencies.
If our learners can look something up, how does that change our design model? What is the impact of search on the need or desire to memorize content? How are the skills and competencies for a role defined when key content is available via search? And, what is the impact of dynamic search on content forms like books?
I would like to ask our Learning Trends readers for thoughts about the impact of Google/Bing on the learning and design process. Send me a few thoughts to emasie@masie.com and I will post a summary in the weeks ahead.
Yours in learning,
