Me encató este artículo de WizIQ blog sobre los hábitos que nos vemos obligados a modificar para ser capaces de tutorizar un aprendizaje elearning.

Most of us have been through an eLearning course and completed a simple multiple choice quiz that seemed pointless and a waste of time. These poorly developed assessments can reduce the credibility of our otherwise well-designed eLearning courses.
Daniel Moix's insight:
This resource makes some great points. Work to reach as high as you can in Bloom's Taxonomy with all question, even multiple choice. Can you present a question that requires synthesis rather than just recall?

There is a thin line between creating elearning that is effective and creating a course that misses the mark. Many instructional designers go through great lengths to create engaging, flashy elearning modules, but end up doing more bad than good.
Daniel Moix's insight:
"Guide the Viewer’s Eye" There's not a lot of difference between an infographic and a third grader glog in terms of the components that go into it, but there's a night and day difference in how a well-designed infographic flows and communicates.

I came across this awesome graphic on 21st century learning and found it really worth sharing with you here. The graphic is pretty basic and dissects learning into three major areas: foundational knowledge, meta knowledge, and humanistic knowledge.

Always good to keep in mind why we are incorporating the technology we introduce in our classroom....our purpose is to prepare students for life after the classroom where learning happens in a variety of forms. Technology and technological literacy is imperative for productive citizens.

There's a quiet revolution happening in some local classrooms. It's called 'Flipped Learning,' and teachers, students and parents are raving about it.
Daniel Moix's insight:
"After the initial work is done, they can use the videos year after year. They can also share them with other classes." Did someone say Common Core?

Western Virginia University became the first college in the U.S. to use empty TV broadcast channels for something better than ye olde boob tube: Internet.
Daniel Moix's insight:
This would be an outstanding solution for our rural schools who often work with students lacking access to broadband sufficient for our hybrid and online offerings.

This cheat sheet can help an organization develop those personas to move instruction from mediocre to effective eLearning courses.
Daniel Moix's insight:
When I'm designing courses, I use a very stripped down version of personas. I have "Lazy Daniel," "Busy Daniel," "Lost Daniel," and "Overachiever Daniel" (which is somewhat redundant). I try to make sure each version of myself as a learner is accounted for in my course design.
I like the idea of making this systemic. I can also plan for "Single Mother Daniel," and others. Maybe that would be Danielle?

Education is a notoriously slow adopter of technology, but Google Apps is growing quickly, if not virally, doubling over the last two years. Via Gust MEES
Daniel Moix's insight:
As a Google Certified Trainer, I'm partly to "blame" for the adoption of Google Applications for Education. I've long said that it isn't the tool that makes a school great, but how the educators at that school use the tools to make learning richer and more accessible.

It’s funny but a lot of people don’t think about their social profiles until they’re looking for a new job or new business situation. Via Bonnie Burns
Daniel Moix's insight:
One of the elements he discusses is the "Talking Logo." I'd say mine is, "I help teachers who want help reaching more of their students." The "How do you do that?" response is, "by pairing sound pedagogical practices with technologies that didn't exist when most teachers learned to teach."

Thanks for such an eye opening article. I am in the process of building an online presence and these issues and your advice gave me the push I needed to prevent myself from becoming "static."

Do You Schedule Email Delivery? http://t.co/7vTqUEFdtT in @profhacker #elearning #edtech
Daniel Moix's insight:
Much like the dentist schedules your next appointment before you leave the current one, I write my follow-ups to advisees and students who need to be reminded of their commitments as soon as they leave my office. I post-date those messages and let them fire when needed. I use Streak to do this, a plug-in for Google Mail. Sometimes I send email to my "future self."

Daniel Moix's insight:
"What’s starting to emerge if you get past the hysteria in online education is a valuable tool to augment traditional channels." This hybrid model, where I teach using the best tool for the job, whether it's traditional or technical, seems to be the one I keep coming back to in my work at the college level.

While it's important to establish routines and expectations that students become familiar with, there's little better than that moment when you can lead a learner to a place where he goes, "Oh! WOW! I didn't see that coming! It makes total sense now!"
