The professor pointed out to her younger colleagues that scores of exhibitors were promoting solutions for “social learning,” but that the vendors were misappropriating a term that had been established in the education field for a very long time. She complained that today’s technology companies were simply cobbling together social networking tools such as blogs, wikis and bookmarking tools, pawning them off as “social learning” innovation. As an e-learning innovator with over a decade of experience in the education sector, this conversation reminded me that several core educational principles were not being thoughtfully considered. ]]> http://www.gilfuseducationgroup.com/social-learning-buzz-masks-deeper-dimensions/feed 1 http://www.gilfuseducationgroup.com/social-technology-and-education http://www.gilfuseducationgroup.com/social-technology-and-education#comments Mon, 03 Aug 2009 04:27:21 +0000 admin http://www.gilfuseducationgroup.com/?p=1163 August 3rd, 2009 Stephen Gilfus, a former founder of Blackboard inc, and a well known figure in the eLearning industry, today, that the Gilfus Education Group is sponsoring the "Social Technology and Education Conference", August 14th @ Harvard University, Cambridge, MA]]> http://www.gilfuseducationgroup.com/social-technology-and-education/feed 0 http://www.gilfuseducationgroup.com/campus-eai-ceai-uses-liferay-open-source-portal-solution http://www.gilfuseducationgroup.com/campus-eai-ceai-uses-liferay-open-source-portal-solution#comments Sun, 01 Mar 2009 20:51:51 +0000 admin http://www.gilfuseducationgroup.com/?p=1884 March 1st, 2009 Created for the enterprise, Liferay Portal provides a virtual space where you can centralize, share and collaborate.
