Interview published...

Tom Robinson published an interview with me in his article, Creating a Culture of Learning for Adults [corrupted file updated!], in Greentree Gazette, a business magazine for higher education.

Brief, two-page article, but good job describing the state of adult learning.

Winnie will visit...

I just learned that Winnie Chen will be visiting us from Taiwan after 10 February. Winnie works at Transworld Institute of Technology in Taiwan. Their motto: "Cherish honesty; practice integrity."  Looking forward to Winnie's visit!

Blogs...busy...busy...Oh, did I tell you I was busy?

I have been busy. It is the start of the Spring Semester here at Penn State. Lots of things to start, finish, and pursue.

I started some new blogs to aid in project management: the Penn State Idea Futures Blog, the Journal of Information Markets Blog, and the Information Market Book Blog, all of which have RSS feeds. These blogs support work we are doing in my Penn State graduate-level course, Evaluation of Investments in Workforce Education & Development, which is focusing on (you guessed it) information markets.

Blended learning initiative presentation...

Tomorrow I will make a presentation at Penn State's Exploring the Potential of Blended Learning Initiative Symposium, described in a brochure as having the primary outcome "to share information on blended and hybrid learning models and assess the potential impact on serving new and existing student populations. Faculty and staff currently involved in blended/hybrid program delivery will share their experiences as well as identify lessons learned. Initial sessions will include defining the scope of blended/hybrid learning models as well as addressing limitations in course design, development, and delivery." Title of my presentation: Data Analysis in Workforce Education & Development: An Example of Design of Blended Learning.
