A <strong>paradox</strong> is a statement or group of statements that leads to a contradiction or a situation which defies intuition. Sometime it is simply a surprising revelation about an assumed conflict which simply required a nuanced view of a given situation. Personally, I always thought it had something to do with two docks that didn't function well in some shipping situations ;-)<br /> <br /> As many of you know I am intrigued by the problems we of the older generations ar having in communicating and leading the younger ones. It seems that every generation is becoming harder to connect with. I am satisfied that this discordance goes beyond the typical generational gaps. Something much bigger is going on and those of us who teach find ourselves at the forefront of an Event Horizon. This event will have implications similar in scope (for inter generational communications) to the changes in civilizations before and after the printing press.<br /> <br /> The short (10 minute) video below will clue you in to one more item that I have found. It's author is a social psychologist who has crammed a lot of current social research into a very informative (and entertaining) presentation. Of particular note at minute 6:00 you will find a touchstone of some of the most common complaints of disenfranchised students. E.G. class is boring, I have nothing to do in class, I cannot sit passively if you want me to participate.<br /> <br /> <object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="660" height="405" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="never"></param><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/A3oIiH7BLmg&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0&amp;border=1"></param><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"></param><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="660" height="405" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/A3oIiH7BLmg&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0&amp;border=1" allowscriptaccess="never"></embed></object> <br /> At minute 7:00 you will see the standard misdiagnosis we apply to students who do not "fit in". Finally at minute 8:30 you will be given a few clues as to how we in the online teaching community can become the "avant-garde" of a revolutionary paradigm shift for all future learners.<br /> <br /> Please continue the conversation by posting your comments here or you can follow the further conversations re. my findings from the author's <a href="http://www.zimbardo.com/">book</a> at my blog here: <a href="http://myeslfriends.com/wordpress/2010/06/07/the-time-paradox/">http://myeslfriends.com/wordpress/2010/06/07/the-time-paradox/</a><br /> <br /> PS Sam and those of you who like to Doodle or are taken with the presentation medium, here is the link to the studio that did the animation above:<br /> <a href="http://www.cognitivemedia.co.uk/wp/">http://www.cognitivemedia.co.uk/wp/</a><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/onlineclassesblog/~4/Kn3R-f6GXhY" height="1" width="1"/> http://onlineclasses.ning.com/xn/detail/2845085:BlogPost:12800 Real English Expose rescheduled tag:onlineclasses.ning.com,2010-03-14:2845085:BlogPost:12112 2010-03-14T21:10:41.000Z Louis George Machlan http://onlineclasses.ning.com/profile/LouisGeorgeMachlan <strong><span style="font-size: large;">The story was too big!</span></strong> We had requests from all over the world so we rescheduled to this coming Satuday.

Informal learning for young people is an ongoing process that also occurs in a variety of places, such as out of school time, as well as in youth programs and at community centers.<br /> <br /> In the context of corporate training and education, the term Informal Learning is widely used to describe the many forms of learning that takes place independently from instructor-led programs: books, self-study programs, performance support materials and systems, coaching, communities of practice, and expert directories.<br /> <br /> Informal learning can be characterized as follows:<br /> <br /> * It often takes place outside educational establishments standing out from normal life and professional practice;<br /> * It does not necessarily follow a specified curriculum and is not often professionally organized but rather originates accidentally, sporadically, in association with certain occasions, from changing practical requirements;<br /> * It is not necessarily planned pedagogically &amp; andragogically conscious, systematically according to subjects, test and qualification-oriented, but rather unconsciously incidental, holistically problem-related, and related to situation management and fitness for life;<br /> * It is experienced directly in its "natural" function of everyday life.<br /> <br /> <b><i>This leads to problems with regard to the transparency, integrity, accountability, validation, and quality management of emerging informal Web 2.0/3.0 educational structures. E.g. how do you get these KSEs (knowledges, skills, and experiences) into your CV in a valid manner?<br /> <br /> Within the scope and intention of increasing growth and jobs within the EU by 2020 and earlier, the EU Commission has endorsed the investigation of this contingency within its QUALC project from 2007-2009.</i></b><br /> <br /> The Ning group <b>Global Informal Adult Learning</b> from EFQUEL/QUALC addresses these and other issues...<br /> <br /> <a href="http://adult-learning.ning.com/group/globalinformaladultlearning" target="_blank">http://adult-learning.ning.com/group/globalinformaladultlearning</a><br /> <br /> Do you also think that quality of learning has to be based on broad consensus and involvement, inclusiveness &amp; dialogue?

Another cool thing about the combination of online and classroom learning is that it's a self-paced program. Plus, the curriculum is based on five projects. The most appealing thing to me about this program is that the projects encourage you to learn skills you need to develop while recognizing the skills you already have.<br /> <br /> It costs $25,000 for the whole program, about 1/4 of what I'm paying for school.

From business to shopping and careers to studies online, you can study online and achieve degrees too. Through internet, you can complete your degree online and you can study online through your respective tutors.<br /> <br /> Nowadays most of the universities, schools and study centres are providing the facilities of online training and classes to their students. Online facilities helps students to study anytime through the internet. It is also beneficial for people who are very busy (and in today’s world, almost everyone is busy). Training online provides flexibility and convenience. People can train on their own time and place from the comfort from their own home or office.<br /> <br /> Online learning enables student-centered-teaching approaches. Every student has their own way of learning that works best for them. Some learn visually and others do better when they learn by doing. Online learning through internet provides a platform where students can learn from tutors from any part of the world at their convenient time and place. The internet places just any training course on any topic of anyone wanting to advance their carrer or gain more knowledge.<br /> <br /> The online environment provides some of the more senstive areas of classroom administration. It also provides the instructor the ability to conduct the classes with students from across multiple time zones, without having to travel. This allows the instructors more opportunities to teach and is valuable for training offered by professional organizations.<br /> <br /> Lastly, online learning provides a flexible way for people to train whenever they have free time.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/onlineclassesblog/~4/kt1dB_qUgnc" height="1" width="1"/> http://onlineclasses.ning.com/xn/detail/2845085:BlogPost:2106 Giving Professional Presentations tag:onlineclasses.ning.com,2009-02-27:2845085:BlogPost:1403 2009-02-27T13:37:09.000Z Alfajri Alwis http://onlineclasses.ning.com/profile/AlfajriAlwis This class is interesting.
