| "The
Flat World Has Swung Open: How Web Technology is
Revolutionizing Training and Education |
CIASTD
October Monthly Meeting
Friday,
October 23, 2009
The Flat World Has Swung Open:
How Web Technology is Revolutionizing Training and Education
Building
on Thomas Friedman's book, The World is Flat, Curt
Bonk offers an intriguing look at ten technology trends which
he called educational openers. As detailed in his new book, “The
World Is Open: How Web Technology Is Revolutionizing Education,” when
combined, the first letter of each opener spells the acronym: "WE-ALL-LEARN." E-learning
and blended learning are key components that make up the
second opener of this framework. Dr. Bonk will detail different
blended learning approaches used in training settings as
well as several blended learning problems and solutions.
The WE-ALL-LEARN model also helps make sense of the role
of various technologies in open education, including open
courseware, open source software, open access journals, open
educational resources, and open information communities.
As part of this, he will discuss e-books, podcasts, streamed
videos, online learning portals social networking tools like
Facebook and Ning, YouTube videos, wikis, and virtual worlds.
With such technologies, thousands of organizations, trainers,
and scholars are sharing their course materials, expertise,
and teaching ideas globally, thereby expanding learning opportunities
and resources even further. As this occurs, members of the
media, politicians, training departments, educators, students,
parents, and others are asking important questions about
the quality of such contents. Bonk also addresses questions
related to the digital divide and how those without Internet
access still benefit immensely from these open learning tools
and resources. The economic world of Friedman may be flatter,
but the educational world is definitely more open than is
was a decade or even a few years ago. Open up and enjoy it!
After
participating in this talk, participants will be able to …
- Become
aware of many recent technology trends impacting learning
around the world.
- Acquire
a framework to make sense of parallel trends in learning
technologies.
- Have
a wealth of Web resources for next steps and strategic
planning (see http://worldisopen.com/).
- Understand
the ways in which to make learning environments more blended,
virtual, collaborative, personal, and mobile.
- Grasp
new directions in open education and open educational resources.
- Reflect
on how to employ emerging technologies from a pedagogical
standpoint.
- Gain
ideas for strategically planning new teaching and
learning directions, including empowering learners
and creating
learner-centered instruction.

CIASTD
University is now accepting students!
We
are pleased to announce the debut of CIASTD University! CIASTD
University provides development opportunities for Workplace
Learning Professionals (WLP). Participants will be exposed
to industry areas of expertise and have an opportunity to
build on their existing skills. Whether committing to achieve
a certification such as the CPLP, or seeking to build your
personal skill set, the CIASTD University offers engaging,
learner-driven sessions. Facilitators will provide participants
with brief, core content to review one week prior to the session.
In session the materials will be referenced as learners leverage
their own experience and insights to solve problems, complete
case studies, and apply theories to situations they face in
their current roles. Learners can attend one, some, or all
of the sessions. While they complement each other, they are
not interdependent. Session topics are listed below. The sessions
are held every two weeks, and the series will be offered every
Spring and Fall.
All
sessions will be from 2:00-6:00 pm at The
Fishers Library located in the Thomas Weaver Memorial
Complex on Municipal Drive just north of 116th St. Click
here for a map. The cost to enroll is $249 for CIASTD
members and $349 for non-members. Below you will find a list
of session topics and the Fall schedule dates. To enroll,
please contact:
