  • IMS Report on Learning Technology Satisfaction and Trends

    The IMS has issued a new report with the somewhat imposing title, “IMS GLC Learning Technology Satisfaction and Trends, North American Higher Education, 05 February 2007 Update.” You can get it here, but first you’ll have to register with the site (if you haven’t done so already). It’s important to read Section 2 of the report (and particularly the “Survey Approach and Disclaimers” subhead) carefully; it is very difficult to get definitive data for this kind of research, and the authors of the report were very careful to spell out the limitations of their methods.

    Nevertheless, there’s lots of interesting stuff here. Here are some of my own observations, in no particular order:

  • Thanks to Guest Blogger Stephen Marshall

    In all my comings and goings, I failed to notice that Stephen has finished his run as a guest blogger here at e-Literate. If you missed his posts, I highly recommend checking them out:

    Also, be sure to check out (and subscribe to) Stephen’s blog.

    Thanks for visiting us here at e-Literate, Steve.

  • Guest Blogger: Stephen Marshall

    I am pleased to announce a new experiment at e-Literate. Since I am falling ever further behind in blogging about the all the interesting stuff I come across, I have decided to invite other people who are smarter and more interesting than me to guest blog here periodically.

    My first guest blogger will be Stephen J. Marshall, the Acting Director of the University Teaching Development Centre at Victoria University of Wellington in New Zealand. Ken Udas has been singing Stephen’s praises for quite some time now, and I finally got to meet him and hear him talk about his e-Learning Maturity Model at FIT not too long ago. It’s fascinating stuff; one of the most robust organizational capability assessments for e-Learning that I’ve seen while still managing to remain lightweight enough to be practical. I have invited Stephen to blog about eMM here, along with anything else that strikes his fancy. (If we’re lucky, maybe he’ll share some of his interesting perspective on e-Learning standards, for example.)

    Stephen will be blogging here over the next three weeks. Since I will also continue blogging during that time period, I have asked Stephen to make obvious which posts are his. Keep an eye out for them; I’m sure they’ll be good stuff.
