THE MOST PROVOCATIVE SHOUT-OUTS FROM TODAY’S LEARNING INNOVATORS

QUOTE:

The future belongs to those who not only have the courage to shout, “The emperor has no clothes!” but also the wisdom to channel the forces that actually bring about genuine change.” — Gene Levinson

INTRODUCTION:

We are in the age of learning revolution or innovation. Understandably, it has a natural impact on corporate e-learning as well. In today’s scenario, with our renewed understanding of how people ‘learn’ (mostly informal, social, and less formal), this gains considerable significance.

Like many of you out there, we too believe that, in today’s learning landscape we need ‘learning rebels’ and ‘learning provocateurs’, and not ‘learning conformists’. Because we are going through a time of major learning transformation, a radical thinking that will help us get started on the transformation has become quite critical. What we need is creative thinking that will churn out innovative solutions that will address the unique challenges of today’s creative economy (challenges that are very different from the ones posed by the industrial economy we have been addressing so far). The need of the hour is a revolution for:

Looking back, we find that we have been consciously striving to practice learning innovation. As you may know, we have also been lucky to have wonderful opportunities to interact with some of the most rebellious minds in learning by means of our ‘Crystal Balling with Learnnovators‘ interview series through which they have been sharing their insights and foresights on the learning revolution we are witnessing today.

FROM EXPERTS:

Let’s first take a quick look at a few serious shout-outs about the present state of e-learning from some of the leading experts who are also rebels or revolutionists in the domain of learning, in their own ways:

FROM ‘CRYSTAL BALLING WITH LEARNNOVATORS’ SERIES:

Here are a few thought-provoking shout-outs from great minds we were able to interact with through our ‘Crystal Balling with Learnnovators‘ interview series:

FROM OUR OWN POSTS:

We also have been contemplating on some of the major innovations needed in e-learning internally at our end. Below are a few thoughts from our posts:

FROM OUR OWN THOUGHTS:

Finally, here are a few thoughts we have been contemplating internally:

If most workplace learning happens on-the-job, is shared more, and is least structured, it is high time learning designers become creative and innovative in re-skilling themselves in order to be relevant to take up the roles that could help address areas other than structured learning.

To conclude, we are excited and determined to continue working with the community towards bringing in a learning revolution (by constantly experimenting with creative, innovative and disruptive practices) especially in the e-learning space. We are committed to bringing about a learning innovation, and on this score, agree with John Cage when he says that we are not frightened by new ideas but by the old ones.

What are your thoughts on the significance of an e-learning revolution? Do you have any radical thoughts you wish to share? Who, according to you, are the other radical thinkers in e-learning? What are the other provocative shout-outs you wish to share in this space?

We would love to hear from you.
