Brain System Behind General Intelligence Discovered

Global Warning! Global Warning! The search for Intelligent Life Forms on planet Earth may be Over!!

There is now some new research Information available that has been published indicating that the location of the parts of the brain that are responsible for General Intelligence may have been discovered.

"The brain regions important for general intelligence are found in several specific places (orange regions shown on the brain on the left). Looking inside the brain reveals the connections between these regions, which are particularly important to general intelligence. In the image on the right, the brain has been made partly transparent. The big orange regions in the right image are connections (like cables) that connect the specific brain regions in the image on the left."

m.e. 1st Learning 1.0 & 2.0

we are now in a new stage of "mobile eLearning" similar to what the Internet has already gone thru in transitioning from "Internet 1.0" to "Internet 2.0". as far as the timeline of the development of "mobile eLearning" goes, we are at a stage of "mobile eLearning 1.0"

"m.e. Learning 1.0 = m.e. 1st Learning 1.0"

hopefully someday soon we will transition into another phase of "Individual Interactivity"

"m.e. 1st Learning 2.0" or "m.e. 2 m.e. 1st Learning 1.0"

what would That look like?
what would be different in 2.0?

more Interactivity? more Individual Learning?

so where and what will be the next "Great Transition" or "pair-of-dimes" shift?

"T.o.t.a.l. = Techniques of Transitional asynchronous Learning"

or

"F.a.t.a.l. = Far-reaching Absolute Transitional asynchronous Learning"

30 Top Online Resources For Instructional Designers To Keep Up With

http://www.upsidelearning.com/blog/index.php/2010/05/20/30-top-online-resources-for-instructional-designers-to-keep-up/

"ID is an interesting domain to be involved in. On the one hand, you are continuously learning about different work environments as you are called upon to resolve different performance issues. On the other hand, your understanding of the domain, and your role in it, changes over time.

As an instructional designer, you start by learning a whole lot of theories and models. You refine your understanding of these models as you use them in different situations and projects. After a few years you realize that instructional design is more an art rather than just pure science – it is a skill honed with experience, and can’t really be narrowed down into a set of guidelines that will fit every situation. Not every qualified instructional designer is able to create great learning experiences."

Matching the Right Design Strategy to the Right Content:

http://www.astd.org/Publications/Magazines/TD/TD-Archive/2011/07/Matching-the-Right-Design-Strategy-to-the-Right-Content

"Learning professionals have a wide variety of technology-based tools available for the creation and delivery of instruction, but tools alone are not sufficient for creating instruction that changes behavior, influences learners, and ultimately improves organizations. The instruction must be properly designed, crafted, and presented. To truly create effective instruction, learning professionals need to match the right instructional strategy to the content being delivered, whether online or in a classroom. You cannot teach how to solve a customer billing complaint using the same strategies used to teach an employee how to log on to the corporate intranet."

Book Review: Design For How People Learn:

http://www.suddeninsight.com/book-review-design-people-learn/

"Julie Dirksen knows her stuff. As a former staffer with Allen Interactions, she’s been around the best and was obviously paying attention. Design For How People Learn is a comprehensive book that succeeds in laying out the fundamental tenets of contemporary instructional design.

This is not a college textbook, folks. It reads like an entertaining conversation with a friend who has taken you under her wing because she sincerely wants to help you become a better instructional designer. If you listen and apply what she suggests, there is no doubt but that you will become a better instructional designer too. You will create smart e-learning."

Curious about a career in instructional design and technology?

from Connie Malamed at The eLearning Coach

http://breakingintoid.com/

*******************************************

Top 10 List:

http://theelearningcoach.com/elearning_design/10-qualities-of-the-ideal-instructional-designer/

This website has so much to offer. There are sections for: Podcasts, eLearning Design, eLearning 2.0, Cognition, Graphics Audio, Reviews, Mobile & Business. The section for eLearning Design has a section for Audience, Instructional Design, Learning Objectives, Storyboarding, Tests & User Interface. This is quite a load of Information to digest.

in the section eLearning 2.0 there are etc articles: 14 Ways to Learn in 2014 The blog author Connie Malamed discusses the "human drive to create", our ability to innovate on a ceaselessly never ending cycle of knowledge.

in another article in eLearning 2.0:

Learning On Demand: How the Evolution of Technology is Shaping the Future of Learning

"In Learning on Demand: How the Evolution of Technology is Shaping the Future of Learning, author Reuben Tozman suggests innovative ways for us to approach the systems we should be working toward and the ways in which we support people to do their jobs. Reuben is the founder and CEO of SlideJar, a cloud-based asset management company. He is also the co-founder and former CLO of edCetra Training."

Ruben Tozman explains,"The core thesis of the book, is that designers need to start accounting for the technologies that have fueled the growth of the web. Currently designers are using an outdated paradigm for designing, structuring and developing electronic assets that live on the web that run contrary to how the web actually ‘likes’ content. By looking at how the web became such an integral part of our lives, there are five principles of designing digital assets that we need to account for. They are: Feed the web, Help the web understand, Expose yourself, Make it viral and Communicate."

I really like the section on Cognition. Thinking about Thinking about How we Learn. (what happened to eThink?) Cogito, ergo sum. (or is it?) Cogito ergo consume (more modern)

*******************************************

"So, what does it take to be an effective and innovative designer of online courses? Having been in the field for 20 years, I have managed, mentored, learned from, watched and analyzed the skills of many instructional designers. As a result, I have distilled the qualities, knowledge and skills I think the ideal instructional designer should possess or develop into a Top 10 List. This list focuses on instructional design for eLearning."

The successful instructional designer should:

Conceptually and intuitively understand how people learn.

Know how to connect with an audience on an emotional level.

Be capable of imagining oneself as the learner/audience member.

Be obsessed with learning everything.

Brainstorm creative treatments and innovative instructional strategies.

Visualize instructional graphics, the user interface, interactions and the finished product.

Write effective copy, instructional text, audio scripts and video scripts.

Meld minds with Subject Matter Experts and team members.

Know the capabilities of eLearning development tools and software.

Understand related fields—usability and experience design, information design, communications and new technologies.
