To be or not to be.....

Picked up an article on the blogospshere from Westchester County Business Journal regarding the increase of on line learning for the higher education market and the involvement of not for profit organisations supporting this increase. We've known this for some time at Archer College and are very fortunate to be at the forefront of elearning technology and to do this we implement a cost effective, world class system to deliver. However our philosophy is not about the technology, it's about engaging and supporting people with their continuing education requirements anywhere, anytime and yes it is accessed for a fee. 

Archer College is a for profit organisation, but there is more depth to our profile than this. We support/sponsor our Learndog community too, our not for profit organisation. Learndog is a vehicle for our blogpodding youth to share and express their imaginations and ideas, check it out.

Listen and discuss - eLearning 2.0 and YOU (Stephen Downes)

OK Team,
This is important. Make time to listen to Stephen Downes latest podcast 'What E-Learning 2.0 means To You' given to a bunch of corporate eLearning types (not academics). Same stuff, different spin - very important.

Emily, Anna, Phil, Mark and Tina I want to see each of you post at least one impression of what this means to you in the context of Archer. I wanna read discussion on things like:

Web2.0 - creating vs consuming the web.

Content - connecting with chaotic content vs giving controlled content

Things/Events vs Flow

Personal learning centre vs LMS/CMS

The New internet

Quoted from Phil:

Everyone really should know what the internet is. Mostly because you are using it right now. The internet it everything that you could ever want and more. The problem is that it is more. There is too much information on the internet and people do not want to know everything they want to know stuff that is important to them.

Award for Excellence!
