 * 2016.6.18 - Play - play a video, play a game requiring skill (tennis), strategy (chess), collaboration (World of Warcraft) * Profiles for early reading levels. I don't know if that is a thing, but it would be great to see if kids using educational games are actually learning to read. * Are there another ways to offer the information so it is less linear? Could the exploration be more self-directed? * Great visualization. Don't recall a big lie although there are frequently some representations that have been "adjusted" for the big screen and overall story. Looking through The Kings Speech, I don't think the False bits distort or detract from the overall accuracy of the story. * Having so much information about learners in one place is a huge opportunity for abuse. Many of those involved in acquiring and using the information do not appreciate the "value" of the aggregated data - it isn't their job, so they don't see the risks and possible harm. * More people worry about the same questions. No new questions. No better prospects for answers or solutions. * Learning canvas http://resources.saltbox.com/learning-model-canvas/ - design, delivery, outcome


 * 2016.6.9 - Will kids test drive the apps provided and find their own learning path? Does a group working together do something different than an individual? Yes, that is two questions. Same base data though.


 * 2016.6.7 - A couple of thoughts - this MOOC is set up as being linear - lists with descriptions of objects so you have to scroll down to see more, gates limit exploration forcing linear, new unfamiliar information so guided progress through content appears to be important, chucking topics are linear so any other navigation is implicitly discouraged. What topics, projects, materials, presentations would encourage / require non-linear progression? Even if linear makes sense, what other objects, elements can be included to give learner more opportunity to be self-directed? For learning literacy development, the learners need to learn to be self-directed learners.


 * Thanks. Confirmed my suspicions about video length, performance support, additive complexity. * APIs - Instagram just yanked its API support - So much for capturing this as a source of social learning experiences. * All very do-able. Starting with nothing so much easier to start with the end in mind. So long as it is open and free, we are good to go.


 * 240 million kids who are likely to need to be self-directed mobile learners would qualify as "big" IMHO. * Finally - a way to start to get a handle on what we think we know about self-directed k-3 learners.


 * 2016.6.1 - hangout - Megan Torrence - design cohorts, scorm / xapi. lms / lrs. capturing informal learning. train by sell to - mobile app - tracking. personal learning journal app. bookmarklet tool - tin can. mentor system - who, meeting, objectives, met. scan isbn code to track books. individual benefits. 80% then try it, iterate. lrs should be inter-operable - multiple endpoints, compare visualization, refinement. storyline. capticate. scrap info off twitter to recommend courses report.

Q: learning map - model actor experience - nested statements - plan to do, do. recommendations for individual > individual experience.


 * 2016.5.30 - No. The problem that xAPI "solves" is well understood and documented. To date other attempts to solve the problem have been limited so they don't scale or  aren't general and flexible enough to address broader contexts. I am particularly interested in self-directed mobile primary learning utilizing open resources, games, infrastructure. Can xAPI play a key role? We will soon find out.
