Modernizing Learning

September 11, 2019

The Department of Defense’s Advanced Distribution Learning (ADL) Initiative recently released its latest eBook, Modernizing Learning.

Modernizing Learning, now available for FREE download in ePub format, emphasizes a “future learning ecosystem,” defined as a transformation from traditional learning practices to “curated lifelong learning tailored to individuals and delivered across diverse locations, media and period of time.” In other words, if you’re planning to upgrade your learning modules to the 21st century, Modernizing Learning provides a blueprint for connecting learning experiences across time and space for academia, K–12, and more.

This comprehensive resource explores data security, learner privacy, analytics and visualization as well as other technological capabilities related to social networking, data sharing, and data collection in a learning ecosystem. The book also covers instructional strategies for the future, competency-based learning, social learning and self-regulated learning.

With competing and constantly changing demands, limited resources and a need for integration across systems, learning professionals have recognized a need for a governance strategy for an ecosystem. This book discusses how to develop a governing structure for a learning ecosystem, how to conduct strategic planning, and what changes in culture are needed to modernize learning for the future.

STIR UP YOUR 2016-17 SCHOOL YEAR CLASSROOM CURRICULUM

October 4, 2016

us_government_academic_publications_2016_page_01Order from the new academic catalog now at http://bookstore.gpo.gov.

One of the most interesting and thought provoking information and news resources is untapped or underutilized by the teaching community. It’s the 4,000 plus titles researched and presented by some of the most knowledgeable and insightful authors in America: professionals within the federal community.

Consider the extent of publications the government is engaged in: social and economic issues, global politics to climate change, national security and terrorism, infrastructure, transportation– so many opportunities for students seeking a better and clearer understanding of the world they’re about to enter.

The Government Publishing Office has placed online a great resource for college administrators and teachers to locate titles to enthuse and motivate students with insightful information about the many subjects touched by federal programs and legislation.

It’s the U.S. Government Academic Publications catalog, where a variety of titles are described along with the key information on how to obtain these publications; all delivered free.

Go online to http://bookstore.gpo.gov main page and look for the promotional banner containing a link to the catalog.

The US Government Online Bookstore has a myriad of new and interesting information to excite and engage your students with topics totally relevant today, especially during a presidential campaign year. And while there, browse by topic or agency. If you’ve never done so, you’ll be amazed at the insights to be gained from titles published by agencies such as the U.S. Army War College Strategic Studies Institute, the Department of Health and Human Services, and NASA, who discuss global issues that touch facets of American life that students too often are not aware of nor afforded access to. And that’s only a few examples. Now they’re all accessible.
