4. Slide 4: Grand Vision PERSONALIZATION • Wayne Hodgins In a word? (Or if you insist on a prefix call it..) meLearning! • Personalized Learning Experiences for every person every day all 6.4 billion of us -- every day!!  • Just for me and just right: Time, place, amount, device, medium, way…  On demand, adaptive  • Markets of one: Billions of Markets • Learning in ALL forms: Formal AND informal  not just online, on computer, on screen, etc, but every where, every time  “When the learner is ready the ‘teacher’ will appear.” 4 © 2006 Autodesk
5. Slide 5: Maybe Goldilocks had it right all along? UP The ideal is “just right”…. Wayne Hodgins • Just the right CONTENT, to • Just the right PERSON, with • Just the right PARTNERS, at • Just the right TIME, on • Just the right DEVICE, in • Just the right CONTEXT, and • Just the right WAY ……… 5 © 2006 Autodesk

10. Slide 10: Content “C-ing” the Future: Wayne Hodgins Get small!  Divide & Conquer:  Separating raw content, metadata, format, sequencing, etc.  Evolving supply chain model for content development  Repositories, GUIDs, discovery, resolution  CORDRA  Metadata:  tagging everything with everything  Automated metadata generation  Dynamic assembly AND delivery  Customized content strategy and a reference models  Content management absolute critical!  Could be limited to “learning content management”  Best as complete content management (all content)  Converting content from a “product” to a “service”  changing the business models to go along with this.  10 © 2006 Autodesk

12. Slide 12: Competencies “C-ing” the Future: Wayne Hodgins Competencies are the next “content”? Déjà vu all over again  Following similar exponential curve and revolution as content  Severe granularity:  Skills, Knowledge, Abilities, Behaviors  Link to learning/performance objects  OBJECTIVES are the critical “connective tissue”!! Performance basis for learning, training and education.  Contributions and involvement with others  new EU “TEN Competence” project  New IEEE LTSC Competencies group  human cognome project  GLOBE is a GREAT example! http://globe.edna.edu.au/  developing detailed competency taxonomies & databases  12 © 2006 Autodesk

14. Slide 14: LEARNING OBJECTS • The world of CONTENT 14
15. Slide 15: Learning Objects: The Past Wayne Hodgins • Learning Objects initially proposed in 1992 with LALO • A Lego model of modularity 15
16. Slide 16: Learning Objects: The Present Wayne Hodgins • Enormous popularity of the term and the basic approach of modularity • Growing demand for dynamic “just the right” content • Critical role of accredited and other standards 16
17. Slide 17: Learning Objects: Myths & Misunderstandings Wayne Hodgins • Can’t have both Reusability AND context • No such thing as RLO’s! • how small the level of granularity is • the roles of richness and metadata in the model • the “nested” nature of the model • the ability to deliver both maximum “context” (learning) and maximum reusability and repurposing • the degree of mass customization and ultimately personalization this enables • the connection to skills and competencies through objectives 17
18. Slide 18: Learning Objects: Challenges Wayne Hodgins • Have not hit the tipping point of modularity yet • Separating content down to “raw” level • Treating content as an island, no inclusion of Context and Competencies yet • Lack of shareable and reusable OBJECTIVE statements 18

Once Intention has been determined, the verb can be retrieved from repository (via Domain and Category) or could be done directly from repository itself. 22 © 2006 Autodesk

28. Slide 28: Context “C-ing” the Future: Wayne Hodgins “Context aware” learning & content assembly  Context REMOVED from content  so it can be dealt with, manipulated, reused and developed by itself  Exploiting context opportunities based on “environments“  dedicated LMS and LCMS such as Blackboard, WebCT, SumTotal, OutStart  more generic environments such as Office and Exchange,  opportunities within operating systems such as Windows, Mac, Linux, etc.  Focus on the “learning environment”  within which the learning (and working) takes place.  • Subjective metadata, pattern recognition, etc. Attention metadata  Location based learning  28 © 2006 Autodesk
29. Slide 29: “C-ing” the Future FASTER: Metadata Wayne Hodgins Automated metadata!  Tagging and leveraging what's already there!   especially that from within learning environments using “properties” metadata (eg all Office files) see MS announcement re SCORM in Office 2007 Attention metadata  Making metadata transparent or invisible to users  Federated AND Standards based  Standards based but agnostic!  29 © 2006 Autodesk

42. Slide 42: Competency Study Groups Initiative Wayne Hodgins • Initiated by IEEE LTSC • “competencies” includes: Human performance, abilities, competencies, knowledge, skills  • Great similarities to conditions of in the 1990’s: lack of generally available, effective tools & technology for the  emerging new models and applications. No broadly accepted common reference models, conceptual  models and overarching architectures or frameworks; Problems with interoperability, sharing, reuse and repurposing of  competency data. Few (if any) accredited standards that could be adopted globally  and across diverse applications domains http://groups.yahoo.com/group/StudyGroup-Competencies 42 © 2006 Autodesk
