December 2 (1-2 pm)

Letting the model build itself: LMS and PLE design in Higher Education (The Blended Librarian)

Dave Cormier has spent the better part of the last eight years attempting to create the perfect environment for learning. During that period his ideas of what constituted perfect have changed, but the driving force behind his learning philosophy was to bring the student to the middle of the discussion, to allow them to control their learning. It was, in essence, to allow them the room to become responsible for their learning. In that time he has moved from home grown system, through LMSs, and PLE platforms. Just recently Cormier has come to think of the internet as the perfect learning system. (Read more here) Join us for an informative webcast in which Cormier will offer an introduction to the language around PLEs, PLNs and LMSs, and then move on to a broader discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of seeing the internet as our learning software.

Beads, Bulbs, and Books: Bringing Home and Garden into the Library (Booklist)

Stitching in the sewing room, digging in the garden, looking information up in the library-these activities are often closely related for book-oriented home gardeners and crafters. If you find inspiration from yarn and paper, if you inhale wholesomeness while seeding and weeding, and if you take comfort from gathering instructive advice by experts (or, of course, if selecting books for your library on either subject is your fond duty), then this webinar on crafts and gardening is for you.
