Instructional Design & Learning

 By Foretia Sandra epse Atem.

Am currently following three weblogs. All sites do have their peculiarities as well as common themes. They all share a central them on ‘learning’.

Julian Stodd’s Learning Blog is unique in that it uses different themes such as storytelling, reputation, learning fragments, work, future of work, interpretation, leadership, culture, control, failure, organizational design, change, systems, learning communities, remote just to name a few. Julian shares diverse and new ideas in learning. Julian’s pragmatist view on issues serves as either a starter or catalyst for one to get into a deep-thinking process and look at issues from another perspective. This is a good learning  starting point, shifting from one’s own perspective. In addition, with over 4,000 followers, this site stands to provide additional views on issues as the pool of followers constituted diverse persons sharing different experiences.

Heather Zink is a blogger who is passionate about how people learn and is curious to find innovative ways to bring learning to low-income neighbors. She mainly shares her experience and thoughts in writing about education, innovation, instructional design, and technology. This site will be a vital resource for learning how people process information in a different context as well as how learning takes place as seen from scientific results. Heather calls her blog ‘a learner’, and am thrilled to discover creative ways of learning. This creative touch is vital in designing learning sessions for different persons. Although the community now stands at six persons, I believe it will provide a great opportunity for persons to bond in a deeper way with each other.
