Take it from working with staff to working with the community
Originally for staff: Learning 2.0
- learner-focused
- asynchronous
- exploration & play
- cheap
- scalable
Now, take it to the public - wherever they are
Why:
- teach information literacy
- enable life-long learning
- workshops
- increase awareness and access to our resources
- help clients navigate their world
How:
- Blogs: sequential, interactive built-in through comments, easy using free online tools, easy for participants to grasp, doesn't scale well, often results in abandoned blogs
- Wikis: non-sequential, easier to navigate, discussion on every page, self-contained, less adventurous, less-intuitive
- Ning: interactions galore, easily accomodate many media, centralized, scalable, BuddyPress, overwhelming for newbies, google ads
- LMS: learning management systems, extremely self-contained, familiar to distance learning users, supports long-term commitment, modular, can be password-protected yet anonymous, more complex set-up
How long:
- Fixed Duration vs. Continuous/Rollling
Other models: Twitter, Facebook...
Inspiration
Don't forget to integrate face time
Customize to the community
Sean Robinson
Don't underestimate the power of play when learning.
I think that there is potential at NRCan to do this among staff and to our clients if we customized it properly.
