OmniGraffle: a lot of thinking comes from reflection, both with the blog for thoughts, and through diagramming my understanding. Diagrams allow us to map conceptual relationships to spatial ones to facilitate comprehension. It’s time again for Jane Hart’s Top Learning Tools Survey , so it’s time for my personal list (and for you to submit yours). Here goes! WordPress: my first learning tool is this blog. Here’s where I lay out my ideas. MORE
And I’m not sure there’s what I call ‘slow’ innovation there, creating a culture and practices about experimentation and exposure to the ‘adjacent possible’ But it’s hard for one diagram to capture everything, and this does a great job. But as an advocate of diagrams and frameworks, I think this is truly insightful and useful. Jane Hart has just come up with something new and, to me, intriguing. MORE

And I’ll talk it out first here, and maybe a diagram will emerge. I shared Jane Hart’s diagram yesterday, and I know that it’s a revision of a prior one. The diagram is capturing her framework, and such externalizations are a way to share; they’re a social as well as artifactual sharing. I was thinking a bit about distributed cognition, and recognized that there as a potentially important way to tease that apart. MORE

I have shared, in a number of places, a diagram of Modern Workplace Learning (MWL) , which I believes visualise all the main ways we learn at work.

No, not a diagram that’s an example, a diagram about examples! I created this because I needed a diagram to represent examples. I’ve written about them, and I have diagrams for other components of learning like models. The post Example Diagram appeared first on Learnlets. However, I wanted to capture some important points about examples. So here we go. The idea here is that an example should be a story, with narrative flow. MORE

I drew this card when Jeff Raikes was describing how Steve Ballmer recruited him from Apple by scribbling diagrams about their future vision in a restaurant. Communication Nation Communication is one of the most important skills anyone can have, in business and in life. As individuals and as a species, I believe we will be happier and more productive if we can improve our ability to communicate. This blog is dedicated to that effort. Join the conversation! MORE
I have been been talking to a number of different organisations recently about the future of the L&D department and in doing so have been building on the diagram I shared in a recent post - where I illustrated how the function of the department is expanding into the new areas of performance support, as well as supporting social collaboration and personal learning. So I’d like to share with you another diagram I have been working on, to show what all this means in practice. MORE
And, as part of my usual wrestling with clarity, I created a diagram. The post Diagramming Microlearning appeared first on Learnlets.

In my framework of Modern Workplace Learning (see diagram on right) I use the term social collaboration to label an important new element of work of the modern-day L&D department.

So yesterday I talked about the value of diagrams , but I thought I’d add a bit about the process of actually creating diagrams. Naturally, I created a diagram about it. I created this diagram for a session I ran on diagramming a number of years ago. In that session I talked about our cognitive architecture, why we need models, how diagrams work, properties and design issues, and more. It captures an ideal picture of how diagramming could work.

Another attempt - this time using Gliffy - to illustrate my own thinking about what a PLE should entail. I created a demo of a part of this concept ages ago, here - it is never listed as among the "examples of PLEs" but is in fact a first draft of what I think a PLE should look like (I promise to lose the yellow, though).

One of the things that I feel is a really useful tool in my ongoing learning, in my ‘making sense of the world’ is diagramming. I find diagrams to be a really powerful way to understand not just elements, but relationships. And yet it doesn’t feel like diagramming gets enough respect. So I want to make a case for the diagram. My PhD advisor kindly pointed out that actually parsing this was hard, and recommended a diagram instead. MORE

Responding to Paul Ellerman : I was actually pretty careful with the diagrams , though on reflection I considered that I should have, for the network diagram, used the standard connectionist (neural network) diagram. In the diagram, this difference is represented by depicting the ‘traditional’ leader and group as a ‘tree’, with one person connected to a number of people, while at the same time depicting the network as a ‘cluster’, with many people connected to each other.

I had to submit my deck for my DevLearn workshop on Cognitive Science for Learning Design last week, but oddly, for every thing I was recommending I had a diagram, except for the notion of using models.
