Learning in 3D: rules from the revolutionariesRon Dvir
The document summarizes insights from 4 pioneers in 3D learning on implementing 3D learning effectively. It discusses overcoming objections, establishing early adoption, securing sponsorship, demonstrating value, crossing adoption gaps, and achieving mainstream use. Key advice includes focusing projects, managing expectations, integrating technologies simply, and avoiding solutions requiring high performance machines.
The document provides an overview of a book titled "From Knowledge to Value: Unfolding the Innovation Cube". The book presents a methodology called NIMCube for effective innovation management. It conceptualizes innovation using six facets: reuse of existing knowledge, invention of new knowledge, stakeholders' contributions, performance/bottom line, exploitation of new products, and ecology/environment. The book offers tools to improve innovation processes and create value from new ideas. It also presents case studies and perspectives from innovation experts.
Leonardo da Vinci Exploration Tour and Future Center SummitRon Dvir
The Da Vinci Exploration Tour and future center Summit was be held in Tuscany on 20-22 June 2006. The event focused on three themes:
■1. Future spaces: anytime, anywhere. How to create a temporary, mobile oow-tech future center, using the available space as a given.
■2. Learning from the past to create the future. The museum as link between past, present and future.
■3. Art and Future Centers. Future Centers and artists both helkp people see things in different ways. How can Future centers use art to open horizons? What can Future centers learn from how artists work?
A visit to Vinci and the Leonardo Da Vinci library was one of the highlights of the Summit. 60 people from 13 countries attended the event.

This document discusses the concepts of personality, thoughts, feelings, actions, and conflicts. It explores how intentions shape experiences and how the mind is a continuous flow of thoughts. Feelings are influenced by past memories and link thoughts to actions. Actions are the gross expression of intentions and affect the physical world. Conflicts arise from restlessness, lack of interest, and fear of change. The document also examines the concepts of the human I, relative I, and notional I, and defines the self as existence, awareness, and bliss without definition. It concludes by asking if one's life is sharing their message.
OpenFutures – an Operating system for Future Centers
In May 2006, fourteen innovation experts started a unique two-year exploration tour in which they explored Future Centers and other future-oriented collaborative working environments. They visited, experienced, analyzed and prototyped over thirty Future Centers in the Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, the United Kingdom, Italy, Israel, and elsewhere.
The explorers were part of the OpenFutures project, which was funded by the European Commission. They were drawn from a broad range of backgrounds, including the research and development of innovation methods and spaces, theoretical and scientific research, societal and business entrepreneurship, and the actual planning and management of Future Centers.
This book OpenFutures – an Operating System for Future Centers summarizes their findings. It provides insights into why Future Centers are set up, what their fundamental operating principles are, how they are planned, run, and managed, and how they create impact. The insights, stories, knowledge recipes and recommended tips are organized across four perspectives: the organizational, methodological, physical, and technological. It is a highly visual document, with artwork created especially for the book to enrich and underscore the presentation of the many different concepts that make up the art and practice of Future Centers.
The book is a useful resource for people planning to launch a Future Center or other type of innovation laboratory, for people who currently operate one and want to renew and transform it, or simply for those intent on adding a touch of 'future orientation' to their everyday working environments.

This document describes a self-management intervention to increase daily flossing. The student was not flossing regularly and wanted to improve their gum health. A contingency plan was created where the student would lose the use of their iPod for a day if they did not floss each night. Graphs show that flossing increased under this intervention compared to baseline levels. Some problems occurred after the student moved, like misplacing their floss. The intervention was adapted by adding a contingency to purchase new floss daily if needed. Overall, the intervention successfully increased the student's daily flossing behavior.
The document discusses managerial competencies and their importance for effective management. It defines competency as a combination of knowledge, skills, behaviors and attitudes that contribute to effectiveness.

The Renaissance was a period between the 14th and 17th centuries that saw a rebirth of interest in classical learning. Major Italian cities like Florence and Venice became centers of trade and patronage for artists. Humanism emphasized the abilities of humans and the importance of education. Artists began using techniques like perspective and realistic proportions. Famous Renaissance artists included Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and their works like the Pieta, Mona Lisa, and The Last Supper. Literature flourished with Shakespeare's plays. Johannes Gutenberg's printing press made books more widely available. Exploration and scientific discoveries increased European knowledge. The Protestant Reformation began as religious reforms but led to the establishment of new Christian denominations in Europe.
