The CRUX of the Matter: Amplifying Authentic Voices Across the Institution

The CRUX of the Matter: Amplifying Authentic Voices Across the Institution

In 2015, Dartmouth will launch a shared content repository to serve as the bedrock of our 200+ institutional sites. With an emphasis on the content repository user experience (CRUX), we are separating content from form, building a digital commons that renders silos invisible on the surface, and empowering site editors to join the narrative wave. Follow along as we tangle with questions of territoriality, authorship, and credit while we bring the COPE model to a diverse, distributed network on sites.

This session will cover:

Transitioning from high geek to high speak as we follow the arc of the web from data to conversation.
Modernizing the digital press to execute the distributed message.
Managing the community: how we provide education to help people understand both the toolsets and the concepts of shared content (in plain language).

Successful Elearning in 4 Steps

Successful Elearning in 4 Steps

This guide describes four steps any company can take to get the most from an elearning investment.

Business leaders increasingly recognize that providing employee training is critical to success. Companies worldwide use instructional content available on demand to build elearning programs that drive positive outcomes.

More than 40 percent of global Fortune 500 companies had embraced elearning strategies in 2013 (Ibis Capital). That same year, elearning was a $56.2 billion industry. This was expected to more than double by the end of 2015 (Global Industry Analysts).

Tremendous benefits result from elearning—chief among them improving employee performance and productivity, aligning expertise with business objectives, and providing consistent and scalable training to a dispersed workforce.

Shift from teaching to learning

Shift from teaching to learning

Last 2 decades has witnessed significant change in our Education system. Transformation is enormous and the teaching fraternity must learn to understand and appreciate their new role.
With free access to extraordinary educational material across diverse platform things are becoming more challenging. Technology has disrupted almost every aspect of our lives and the only way to survive is through adaptation and change.
Teacher must change their profile from EXPERT to FACILITATOR. Most of the teaching fraternity lives with the illusion of being EXPERT in their discipline, but the reality is that the quality of teaching as a profession has gone down over the last decade. This is the reason teaching fraternity is advised to take up the role of facilitator and be the active part of the classroom learning experience.
No more teachers can assume that what they know is extraordinary and that every day they are producing amazing content for their discipline or subject. As a matter of fact most of the times students are more updated than what we are.
With teachers changing their work profile the entire Education system is undergoing a major transformation. Educational Institutions are now forced to focus in developing Competencies amongst their students rather than transferring KNOWLEDGE.
It is essential that we must know the difference between transferring knowledge and that of being a facilitator. We have to accept the facts that most of us have gone wrong in our approach of teaching and we can only change if we accept. ACCEPTANCE is key to CHANGE
