Comment on Slides for Change Mooc – May 2012 by Michael Hotrum

The same argument can be made re training department in a business – there has always been a continuous devaluation of the services that the training department offers – and with the opportunity afforded by informal, social learning there is considerable attention paid to redefine and reorganize the traditional “university” style training department – again the argument ensues – is SS and SC most important (or let’s rephrase as worker in place of student) – is WW and WC most important; but in training’ case the W can also be an Expert, coach or mentor or a person most sought after for answers – a “redefintion” of formal trainer/professor – and I would also suggest that the design of the learning environment becomes more important as the trainer/professor loses prominence – how to build and maintain and drive an informal, social learning space. So does that mean we now have student to environment or wiorker to environment? Or worker to learning design – Certainly in training the learning space and the designed affordance for learning within it is important.

Comment on Comments on Promoting and assessing value communities and networks by Bev Wenger-Trayner

Thanks, Terry, for giving some thoughts about it. The idea of the value-creation stories is also to show the causality between the different cycles e.g. attending a meeting leads to building social capital which leads to a chance in practice which leads to a change in the performance of the organization (profession, group etc.) … So the stories are not simply to assess the progress or not at each cycle.

Does that make sense?

There was a young man, name of Terry;
Decided in spring to make merry;
Wrote a poem for his blog;
It was such a slog;
But quite sweet, oh yes it was, very.

Comment on Unitarians and Religion on the Net by Maryanne Burgos

Maryanne Burgos — Wed, 14 Mar 2012 13:37:58 +0000

Terry,

Thanks for bringing together the two topics that I am most interested in-edtech and UUs. I belong to a UU church in Frederick,Maryland and my favorite group is AHA (Atheists, Humanists and Agnostics).

I am just beginning to learn more about Humanism and that has been made possible through “edtech.” I am taking an online course through the Center for Inquiry. The participants are from all over the world, just like the education webinars I often attend.

Our congregation uses the Internet for administrative purposes, but I’m going to share your post with them. Perhaps we can use the Internet to connect with others who “are socially committed to justice, seek diverse forms of spiritual, intellectual and social stimulation and learning, but they are not now, and never will be ,”church people”.”

Thanks for getting me thinking!
