Scott, your jo...Thanks for your comments everyone. <br />Scott, your job sounds really interesting. I agree that we dismiss people because of unreliability and bias. It's too bad because I love those crazy tangents. <br />Jennifer, I often wonder why we like personal relevance so much. Do you think it's a western vs eastern thing or true across cultures?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02561131794025886958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-625570054504801687.post-1024416887526964632010-05-03T09:25:59.524-07:002010-05-03T09:25:59.524-07:00What an excellent post!

Rest is useless.<br /><br />Each course developed by these reputable univwersities should be shared by 5.000 to 50.000 even more may be 1.000.000 students in USA and in the world. That is the efficiency of ONLINE .<br />And these should not be free. They should have a nominal fee of $ 20 per course for the sake sustainability.<br /><br />Education is science and also a system. Only system managers can solve the education problem not the educator. Educators just know what to teach . Only few know. Therefore salaries are very low .<br />Salvation is PERFECT ONLINE . SHARED by billion and made by Yale Stanford etc.<br />This is vision<br />mgozaydin@hotmail.com from TurkeyONLINELEARNINGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09566247815074529184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-625570054504801687.post-83945910761663314082010-04-25T11:46:58.480-07:002010-04-25T11:46:58.480-07:00I like your definition of "educational" ...I like your definition of "educational" -- we have very similar feelings on the subject. I also like what you wrote about informal learning, and how if the learning is personally relevant it may have more impact on the learner. I agree and have noticed that the students I see in my library instructional sessions do become more engaged when the information has personal relevance.Jennifer Easterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02614134436008802191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-625570054504801687.post-12621707829574686672010-04-23T23:09:03.167-07:002010-04-23T23:09:03.167-07:00Glad you mentioned people as a resource.

We might suggest a set of interesting articles on leadership or student blogs for business students at course companion sites and knowing insider jargon or what’s currently hot in a field really narrows the search. <br />When I’m stumped the best sources are people in the field. The human brain is still the best all around information retrieval device. It can be linear and then make crazy logic jumps that lead directly to exactly what I want. People are proud of what they know and will help whenever they can. <br />I think we often forget this and tend to devalue human resources as being unreliable, prone to misunderstanding or bias. A rock knows geology from personal experience but it takes a human to speak for it. Or at least make up and interesting story about it.<br />ScottScott Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16557119002863457695noreply@blogger.com
