What happens in educational institutes?
In comparison with corporate e-learning, learning in
the education sector focuses primarily on knowledge transfer and not on
training i.e. in education we mainly strive to learn things with global scope
(e.g. a subject such as mathematics) whilst corporate e-learning is more
focused on business needs (e.g. new recruit induction). The word education
means to gain general theoretical knowledge and this may or may not involve
learning how to do any specific practical work, tasks or skills. Please note
that there is some overlap and that the word ‘education’ can also refer to a
process of training or receiving tuition. For example, basic training in a
field such as health services is usually a combination of theoretical,
educational and practical learning skills.
Convergence
Corporate e-learning professionals can learn from
academic e-learning initiatives and vice versa, and we are currently seeing a
convergence of academic and corporate e-learning needs. For example, the
academic space is starting to gravitate towards incorporating corporate methods
in the classroom on how certain topics are taught. And on the corporate side
they’re shifting the model of utilizing technologies in a way that supports the
traditional classroom of academics especially with regards to blending
technologies.
There is obvious overlap: corporate mobile learning
for example is becoming increasingly popular with learners having one if not
more mobile devices in their possession and taking these devices to school or
work. Learners have access to the internet and social networks via these mobile
devices so all the technologies required to gather information, create content
and communicate with other people are readily available and naturally create an
environment conducive to learning. Currently both the education and corporate
sectors are struggling to answer the exact same questions: how do we use these
for learning? How do instructional design, and teaching methodologies and
theories apply to delivering content via mobile devices? It’s only natural for
knowledge to be shared across the table.>>read more...
