• How to Improve Learning Outcomes With Performance Support | Social Learning Blog – Good to hear that someone is still beating the EPSS drum. I've long been an advocate, but it seems it lost much of its thunder once the Google/YouTube second brain came along.
• Highly cost effective video-based learning –
• Stop creating, selling, and buying garbage! –
• Forget Cramming: Molecular Pathways May Reveal the Best Learning Strategies – A computer has modeled the most efficient form of learning, that is, if you're a sea slug running from a lobsters. Scientists hope it might eventually work for a human studying for a calculus mid-term.

• Twenty-two power laws of the emerging social economy | Enterprise Web 2.0 | ZDNet.com – Dion has pulled together a nice reference list of 22 "laws" that attempt to define how various facets of networks, social media and Web 2.0 are (or will) impact the economy.

• Enterprise 2.0: Skip the Pilot – Michael Idinopulos raises a very interesting point that for collaborative software to succeed you have to have a large pool of users, contrary to to “small pilot” wisdom of most new implementations. A very viable option, especially given the low capital needs to implement open-source solutions.
• Stanford study: Media multitaskers pay mental price – Multitasking kills! OK – maybe not that extreme. But this research has important implications for Learning 2.0. As our environment is changing to constantly bombard us with information, the most important skill to develop is being able to filter out garbage – clarify the signal from the noise. If this research holds up, multitasking is a serious impediment to being able to filter out irrelevancy. Much of Learning 2.0 will need to focus not on content and application, but on context: how content is collected, critiqued, and validated before being used.

• Michael Geist – Harvard Study Finds Weaker Copyright Protection Has Benefited Society – Interesting study. But we're not in this for the benefit of society are we? I thought it was about greed. ;o)
• Enterprises and Social Media: 5 Must-Haves – Ravit Lichtenberg provides a tidy list summarizing what organizations must do to get their social media game on.
• More Talk, Less Chalk: Lexically Sparse Slides Improve Recall of Taught Material – New study reinforcing what we have been telling folks for years in our presentation skills course: "… use of presentation software, whereby information is simultaneously delivered verbally and visually, risks overloading students' working memory and impairing learning."

• Are URL shortening services wrecking the web? – Wikinomics – Alan Majer voices the same concerns I have about URL-shortening sites building network effects on private networks instead of the public Web. If any of these services went under, I doubt it would break anything, but it might be a painful sprain of the Web’s “coin of the realm” – the link.
• Drilling Down – Social Networks Eclipse E-Mail – NYTimes.com – The social shift has begun. People are now spending more time on social networking sites like Facebook than they are on e-mail. As the Times says, “signaling a paradigm shift in consumer engagement with the Internet.”
• Understanding how you process information to help you get organized, part I | Unclutterer – Two very interesting posts from Unclutterer have you first identify your primary information processing style and then suggest ways for you to get organized based on that style. From the Site: “How you process information has a strong correlation to how you may want to organize your home and office.”

• Connect.ed – The story of a girl | acidlabs – Stephen Collins (a colleague down under) puts his engaging spin on how our connected world changes how we think about education and learning. An engaging tour of how learning has changed.

• Asynchronous and Synchronous E-Learning (EDUCAUSE Quarterly) | EDUCAUSE – Great food for thought on when you should use asych vs. synch in your learning design. Especially important in coming up with a balanced blended design.
