If I could design a social learning platform...

My design approach would be to integrate a Personal Learning Environment (PLE) into an Online Community (OC) that would enable inquiry-driven learners to explore pre-defined learning paths, or create paths themselves while building a network with others who share their interests. The platform would seek to bridge the divide between online and real-space learning by incorporating offline projects, and could eventually translate into a new model of digital/physical integrated learning space - one that could be modularized and deployed anywhere in the world. Sanna Malinen notes, "As the user base of online communities can be global, they are likely to involve a blending of cultures." Like the BoxSchool! I call the platform Bamboo. Why? Because bamboo is an excellent natural scaffolding material, and it’s still used to build skyscrapers today. Bamboo scaffolding is being used in China and Hong Kong instead of steel for several reasons. Bamboo actually has a greater tensile st...

Is Authentic Instruction a Key Element to Successful Online Learning?

Our development as teachers consists of a process of self-awareness and acceptance, coming to see that we cannot be all things the Good Teacher is expected to be, and understanding that who we are as human beings is at the core of becoming an authentic teacher. -- Patricia Cranton What the late Patricia Cranton, a key contributor to the development of transformative learning theory (and a Teachers College professor), is describing is a journey of personal discovery that directly impacts the relationship between teachers and students. The result is a re-negotiation of the power balance within the learning environment and a recognition that the classroom, real or virtual, is a supportive, communal learning space where everyone can contribute and unique knowledge can be constructed through these social exchanges. This type of supportive environment, as Lee et al. (2011) describes, is a key element in the optimization of studen...

Are There Limits to the Affordances of Online Learning?

Have you ever used online learning to achieve your potential and realize your own capacities? Even with almost 20 years of experience in corporate training design and consultation, particularly in eLearning, I can't say that I have personally utilized online learning to achieve a long-term learning goal focused on self-improvement or self-advancement that was self-initiated. For example, I recently assumed the role of product owner in Dell's Education Services department. This week, a group of us are attending online, synchronous certification training, but this was a business requirement. So while it does represent a self-advancement opportunity, it wasn't one that I was internally motivated to pursue. Yet, I consider myself an avid online learner. Much of that comes in the form of just-in-time learning to address a particular short-term goal. I've watched YouTube videos to repair our dishwasher and stop our car from honking continuously after I replaced the battery,...
