On the discussion on eLearning in a Corporate Setting by Eddie Mendoza, CEO, Lumens Solutions, Inc.

The discussion will revolve on the challenges in establishing e-learning as a viable training methodology for companies.  It will list some of the organizational change issues, and give an opportunity for participants to share what they have experienced and to appreciate the unique challenges of corporate training.

 

Thoughts on the Kapihan sa PeLS Topics

 

 

Some thoughts on the topics

 

1. Personal Learning Environments

   When do you need one?

 

•    When decision makers at the top of the organization are open to the idea of having a dot.com with a dot.org layer. (See Espen Andersen on the second law of the Internet)

 

   Can you use this in an intranet?

 

• The discussion on "Open source social networking or KM tool for an intranet"  might just give some useful answers

 

   Any examples on how it is used locally?

 

•  http://people.dlscanlubang.org (school setting)
•  http://mentorings.org (for teachers, mentors, coaches, trainers)
•  http://philnet.biz (for SMEs (products/services) and their suppliers, distributors,  retailers, brokers, jobbers, aggregators, etc

 

Some links that might be useful:

"Some Thoughts/Assumptions on Education and Technology" from Swiftkick (Note: a tad partial to elgg)

 

2. Creative Commons

   Is my content protected automatically since I authored it?

   Do I need to explicitly say what type of license I am releasing my work?

   Shouldn't the academe go for open licenses and the industry for restrictive ones?

 

3. eLearning in a Corporate Setting

   Is there a simple way to corporate eLearning?

   Outsourcing vs developing in-house: What is the local trend?     

   Projections/Observations on Corporate eLearning in the next 3 years

 

4. TESDA and eLearning in Korea

   What are the immediate opportunities in TESDA?

   Please talk about the business side of TESDA.

   Do I retain copyright/(whatever rights) or TESDA gets everything

   Sample projects that TESAD "bought" or commissioned

   Describe eLearning in Korea. Is the Philippines going this route?

expert himself.

 

The various eLearning topics are:

 

1. Personal Learning Environments (PLEs) using Elgg by Joel

Yuviengco, Social Media Technologist, DLS Canlubang

This talk is not an argument to promote a replacement for

Learning Management Systems like Moodle nor a proposition to do away

with Content Management Systems like Drupal which are all well and good

as far as the promotion of open source systems is concerned. This is

rather an exposition on the Theory, Tools and Techniques around Personal

Learning Systems.

 

In particular it's about an open source Personal Learning Landscape

which is now broadly called a tool for Social Networking by its main

developers Ben Werdmuller and David Tosh, both based in the UK. A

History of PLEs can be found at:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_personal_learning_environments

<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_personal_learning_environments>

 

Broad framework of this talk is what is loosely called the 2D2C

(Discover. Disclose. Connect. Co-create) of Social Software-based

learning.

 

2. eLearning and Creative Commons by Atty. Michael Vernon Guererro,

Arellano University School of Law

 

"The iCommons Summit, an event in which 300 people from over 50

countries gathered to celebrate and strategize around a free Internet

for all, was held in Dubrovnik, Croatia on 14-17 June 2007. One of the

four tracks pursued during the main summit of 15-17 June 2007 (June 14

being the legal day, where the Creative Commons licenses were discussed)

was that of the Open Education track, composed of various workshops such

as "Collaborating on Open Education," "Open Educational Project Clinic,"

"Policy, Practice, and Pragmatism," "Propagating the Meme (Sharing

Practices to Scale Open Education)," and "Towards an Open Future for

Education." In said track, in one of the sessions, many open source

projects were presented: OER Commons (through Amee Godwin), Free High

School Science Textbooks [FHSST] (through Joanne Boulle), WikiEducator

(through Steve Foerster), One Laptop per Child (through SJ Klein),

National Education License for Schools [NEALS] (through Delia Browne),

Acawiki (through Neeru Paharia), Educalibre (through Werner Westermann),

Meadan (through Ed Bice), LeMill (through Hans Poldoja), among others.

 

The emphasis on community participation was made for the success or for

some initial success so far, of projects that a parallel emphasis on

international community participation was being made towards the

development of an international open education movement (especially

during the track's last session for the summit). Now, being aware of the

developments about open education overseas, how is the Philippine

community being built towards open education, e-Learning, etc. within

this jurisdiction?"

 

3. eLearning in a Corporate Setting by Eddie Mendoza, CEO, Lumens

Solutions, Inc.

 

The discussion will revolve on the application of e-learning in an

organizational setting.

 

4. TESDA Initiative and Updates from Korea by Ninia Calaca,

University of Sto. Tomas.

 

The government, through TESDA is turning to eLearning as an alternative

and complement to formal learning. There are opportunities for content

creators for collaboration.

 

The resource person will also talk about her experiences from her recent

trip to Korea.

 

We would appreciate advance questions on any of the topics from

participants in order to make the discussions more focused.

 

See you there!
