Clever Learning Design for Adults




I really like what this site does for adult learners. There are 23 things in a list and staff are told they have to work their way through all of them by a set date.

What's left to do is decide on the order, the magnitude, the scope and write your own material as you travel through the web 2.0 maze. Designed for library staff, this concept comes from the 43 Things website.

I like the open ended nature of such a task - surely learners would be engaged throughout and by its very nature the flexibility will allow as much or as little attention to detail as your prior knowledge would require.

Certain to try this in one of my classes, stay tuned for a follow-up story.
