Maastricht approach to problem-based learning.

One the 'chief architects' of ADL's SCORM, Dan Rehak of Carnegie Mellon's Learning Systems Architecture Lab, outlined the future of the widely used elearning specification at the IMS special briefing for implementers on Friday. SCORM is about to gain more flexibility in sequencing, and wider system capabilities further down the line. Strategically, he clarified which pedagogies the model supports well, and which not, and emphasised that ADL ultimately wants to hand over SCORM to the community.

e-learning for the rest of us. Stephen Downes: Most people - I am not sure how many - do not work for large corporations. They cannot afford a learning management system that costs $100,000. So why is everybody in this room (the trade room floor) focusing on selling large LMSs and the like to corporate purchasers? What will all of this look like when the e-learning is provided for the rest of us? The future is in the most accessible system, it would seem. [Seb's Open Research] 4:38:59 PM    comment []
