As I blearily re-read the instructions for this week’s assignment, I dutifully go back and look at the article names I only glanced at before when reading Section 2.1. Randomly choosing Connie Malamed’s Learning Coach, I felt like I was having a deja vu moment. Wait a sec, I thought to myself, this looks eerily […]

I chose to analyze Connie Malamed December 2010 opinion piece “Learning Technology Trends to Watch in 2011.” In the true fashion of judging a book by its cover I chose this particular piece because of the visuals – a conscious choice as I feel I understand and learn better when there are visual cues that […]

This is a look at the eLearning coach (Connie Malamed)’s Learning Technology Trends To Watch In 2011.

Hi MW,
Thanks for your informative and interesting post. I also use Youtube as a search engine but did not know those stats either. Very interesting.

These were not necessarily readily available on some of the other reports and in this current culture of blogging, social interaction/networking/learning/exchange this was a key attribute..

Hi,
I also reviewed this article. While thinking critically about the content, I wasn’t even thinking about the things around it – good call! You are right about the unobtrusive ads. As much as I found the article “light”, I also appreciated the directness of it – being direct and succinct are important when delivering messages online.
