  • design patterns - A important aspect of design patterns is to identify and document the key ideas that make a good system different from a poor system (which may be a house, a computer program or an object of daily use), and to assist in the design of future systems. The idea expressed in a pattern should be general enough to be applied in very different systems within its context, but still specific enough to give constructive guidance.
    The range of situations in which the problems and solutions addressed in a pattern apply is called its context. An important part in each pattern is to describe this context. Examples can further illustrate how the pattern applies to very different situation.

  • Personal Learning Environment and LMS in a business setting This is great serendipity to happen to be here in this course with folks like yourselves. I am returning to education in business having been away for OMG... a decade. Times they are a changin'.
    I'm working with the new kids - cloud computing, software as a service (SaaS), new customer/vendor relationships, social..., on-demand, so there are some interesting opportunities to push the teaching / learning envelop.
    I was a regular participant in the early days of the eLearning Forum so I have seen Jay Cross and that group working through these issues. I'm surprised that LMSs are still seen as a requirement. Management still needs to see course completion stats. "My manager is on my case if I don't do x amount of training a year." However, personal computing formats are spilling over into normal business communication. I'm trying to figure out how to make the best of both of these worlds.
    Any thoughts, suggestions?
