I've been following your blog for a month or so and have picked up a ton of good information as well as enjoyed the way you've structured your site. I am attempting to run my own blog but I think its too general and I want to focus more on smaller topics. Being all things to all people is not all that its cracked up to be.term papers writing servicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12227573260113617474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7743873.post-9365128607613416532010-02-18T08:09:21.440-08:002010-02-18T08:09:21.440-08:00Donald,

You are right--I haven't had the time to map out this taxonomy myself--though one would think that XML-based applications and decision trees would be easier to build...I'd be happy to share some of my diagrams and flow charts on this...best,Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7743873.post-83346352680634208292010-02-17T10:33:03.855-08:002010-02-17T10:33:03.855-08:00Hi Bill,
To go in the direction you are speaking ...Hi Bill,<br /><br />To go in the direction you are speaking of would basicaly require a three-step process:<br /><br />1. Decide the knowledge and skills needed to be learned, such as this version of Bloom's Taxonomy does - <a href="http://www.nwlink.com/~donclark/hrd/bloom.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.nwlink.com/~donclark/hrd/bloom.html</a><br /><br />2. Select the learning method(s) that will best help the learners to learn the knowledge and skills.<br /><br />3. Select the media or technology that best carries the learning methods.<br /><br />I did a real crude attempt at part of this about 10 years ago <a href="http://www.nwlink.com/~donclark/hrd/media.gif" rel="nofollow">http://www.nwlink.com/~donclark/hrd/media.gif</a><br />and <a href="http://www.nwlink.com/~donclark/hrd/media.gif" rel="nofollow">http://www.nwlink.com/~donclark/hrd/media.gif</a>. <br /><br />As my crude attempt shows, it is not that easy as such a taxonomy would require a lot of time to fully develop each of the three steps. Thus its really a matter of someone finding the time to do it and hopefully being rewarded for their efforts.Donald Clarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01980740206430947090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7743873.post-11047308518869153512010-02-17T08:47:19.194-08:002010-02-17T08:47:19.194-08:00Here's a question: why aren't we (in the t...Here's a question: why aren't we (in the training world) updating ADDIE to fit the needs of 21st century technology? <br /><br />It seems that skills-based learning (training) has been supplemnented with a variety of technology-based enhancements wtihout the benefit of an updated taxonomy of what to use, when, for what. In other words, isn't it time to update (and automate) the ISD process so we know, for example, that simulations work best for only certain types of training?<br /><br /><br />What is required to make the leap into the training world for an automated solution to the training assessment, development process?<br /><br /> Training development (design, analysis, and procedure) must be structured, with sequenced tasks to organize and shape content into usable products<br /> The state of practice must support clear, patterned responses that provide well-tested answers and logical, predictable systems for effective training design and delivery<br /> Technology must exist that can automate the thinking process by subject matter experts<br /><br />All these exist in the training profession. From ADDIE, to Bloom’s Taxonomy, To Kirkpatrick’s Four Levels of Evaluation, training processes and solutions (blended performance) are clear, validated, and available. <br /><br />Automating this process for subject-matter-experts would produce the following advantages:<br /><br /> Shortcut the process of identifying training needs, strategies, and solutions by eliminating the didactic process between practitioner and training specialist;<br /> Provide an efficient way for SME’s to actually launch training in 80% of the cases where training simply requires an organized approach to documenting, organizing, and using existing resources;<br /> Provide a template-based solution to e-learning companies that would improve development time for storyboards (direct communication from sme’s to e-learning designers);<br /> Provide a knowledge management structure for organizations to capture, catalog, and publish best practices and applications of training interventions for specific organizational problems.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7743873.post-66039810858374657172010-02-15T01:46:39.902-08:002010-02-15T01:46:39.902-08:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.john111http://www.tauheed-sunnat.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7743873.post-43325487409625320072010-02-11T07:46:42.156-08:002010-02-11T07:46:42.156-08:00Hi Cheryl,

I appreciate you mentioning other microblogging platforms that may be useful as an alternative to Twitter. <br /><br />I recently read another blog by Vikas Joshi that mentioned wikis and widgets as emerging trends of interactivity that training professionals can't ignore. It was also a good read. Thanks!Cheryl McNeilhttp://www.gclearningservices.comnoreply@blogger.com
