“How to…” heroes – or how to do CPD at a micro scale. | Maren Deepwell | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
In my organisation I lead on providing CPD for a small team and providing meaningful, cost-effective opportunities for learning and gaining know how at a micro scale can be challenging.  We’ve taken part in open online courses like Blended Learning Essentials and 23 things, we have a regular ‘show & tell’ slot at weekly team meetings, we take part in events and the networks we support and we sometimes have guests who share their work with us.

30 Academic Resources on Learning – for Educators and Innovators | Innovation Excellence  | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
Many of us read blogs about learning and discuss the learning process with our colleagues, but few of us actually bother keeping up with the latest science. Maybe it’s because, if we do manage to identify a source or two, we are immediately turned off by all the dense scientific jargon. Or maybe it’s not always clear which resources provide information specifically on learning and not just education in general.

I have a confession to make. For many years, I’ve done odd jobs for Bedford Books, which specializes in writing handbooks as well as other textbooks. One of the projects I worked on had a nifty free website, Research and Documentation Online. Chances are, a lot of you have links to this site on your library or course page. If you click on it now, though, you’ll find out that it’s not there anymore.

Aleixs Colburg's curator insight, December 1, 2014 11:51 AM

People try to define everything by science. While I am not saying that everything can be defined by science, we must acknowledge that science has a large place in the world we know today. My future career plans involve a slightly untested field of science (Behavioral Science) combined with a well known a well practiced science (Psychology). We cannot define everything by science, but that doesn't mean we can't try.
