Learning is a very complex process involving many aspects of our life. Long Life Learning is a very important strategy for our private life and our professional improvement. How we can use the eLearning (LMS) and Social Media Learning to do this?

14. One size does not fit all!
A common folly of many training courses is that they do
not align to the needs of the entire learner group.
It is important to recognize different learning needs,
objectives and barriers within the target audience.
By SIM
14
15. Learning and something more
What seals the deal is if the learning exercise provides
the learner with an extra ‘something’.
The learning then becomes ‘useful’ and thus even the
most unwilling learner does not find it cumbersome or
unnecessary.
By SIM
15
16. Utilizing multiple ways
With advancement in technology, there are now
numerous ways that you can reach out to your learners.
What is important is that the strength of different
platforms should be recognized and utilized accordingly.
This will ensure that the learner finds different
opportunities to learn and choose the one that suits him
or her best.
By SIM

17. Extracting learning out of work
With the aid of technology, a culture of sharing and
collaborating to learn together can be cultivated.
This mode of peer-learning at work suits learners of all
kinds: self-directed learners as well as the ones who
need to be pushed into learning from time to time.

20. One step back...
“Learning is not something that happens to students, it
is something that happens by students”
Barry Zimmerman
Learning is a process that leads to change, which
occours as a result of experience and increases the
potential for improved performance and future learning.
Self Organized Learning is an active, systematic process
of planning, controlling and reflecting on one's
experiences to facilitate desired change.
By SIM
20
21. Self Organized Learning
Is what we do before, during and after learning
Four phases:
●
Self-observation and evaluation (before)
●
Goal setting and strategic planning (before)
●
Strategic implementation and monitoring (during)
●
Self-reflection (after)

42. The ZIN of Atlantis
In the ancient city of Atlantis was built a rectangular
obelisk called ZIN, in honor of the goddess TINA.
You are a group of archaeologists who have spent the last
few weeks studying the city.
The group's task is to determine in what day of what week
of Atlantis, was completed the ZIN.
In recent weeks you visited several excavations and you
collected information to identify this date.
This information is contained in the leaflets in front of
you.

49. LMS and students
●
●
●
●
●
There is a mismatch between the use of LMS and
students’ way of learning
Average and Weak need extra coaching to get better
grades
They have different ways of processing information
They need longer time to process information
They learn + understand at their own pace

57. “MOOCing” the future
2013 was a year with big numbers and great big hopes
followed by some disappointing first results.
The head of edX, Anant Agarwal, suggests that MOOCs
would be a way to share high-level learning widely and
supplement traditional classrooms.
A vision of blended learning, where teachers create the
ideal learning experience for 21st century students.

113. Last but not least
●
Blog
A blog (a truncation of the expression web log) is a
discussion or informational site published on the Web
and consisting of discrete entries ("posts") typically
displayed in reverse chronological order.
●
Wiki
A wiki is usually a web application which allows
people to add, modify, or delete content in
collaboration with others.
By SIM
113
114. Blog
●
●
“Once upon a time” was the work of a single individual
and often covered a single subject.
Today there are blogs (MABs) with posts written by
large numbers of authors and professionally edited,
covering more subjects, anyway in the same area of
interest.
By SIM
114
115. Wiki
●
●
A wiki is a type of content management system, it
differs from a blog or most other such systems in that
the content is created without any defined owner or
leader, and wikis have little implicit structure,
allowing structure to emerge according to the needs of
the users.
Wikis can serve many different purposes both public
and private, including knowledge management,
notetaking, community websites and intranets.

factual assertions in nonfictional text to determine their
veracity and correctness
By SIM

124. Hoax
A deliberately fabricated
falsehood made

125. “The Straight Dope”
The column derives its name from the American idiom
meaning roughly "the honest truth" and covers many
subjects, including history, science, old wives' tales,
urban legends and inventions.
The column appears under the tagline "Fighting
ignorance since 1973 (it's taking longer than we
thought)".
