PresentationPSA Mission/project/agenda

Demo format (demo portion of meeting)A complete file residing on a PSA mobile device that can be taken projected onto a large screen

with audio speakerso a venue and Narrator/presenter (2 people?)

walks through the PPT presentation as typically done…but videos are embedded of various lengths

which the presenter can play from a slide easily. Comments/ questions possibly entertained during

or after presentationFollowup is “meet us at a later date for more in depth” exploration/ collaboration planning. ( we

don’t “give away” our proprietary stuff)

1-What is learning?

• Tool: cartoon video/other showing how we learn (theory)

• What it “feels” like when we learn and don’t learn• Learning is an innate capability we are born with and our chief

way of relating to the world. We are always learning. • It may be formal, or informal, conscious, or unconscious, and any

combination of those 4.• Learning may have different “types”, but those types have a lot in

common under the hood.• Some methods of learning apply across the board• Learning is not learning if not incorporated into the person at a

deep and sustained part of our selves.

2-Challenges/opportunities for online learning

• NM learning deficits are an opportunity (group contains resources)• Who’s doing what internationally nationally, locally• What tools are being used• What are the challenges

– Weak infrastructure for access– Cost of hardware platform– Cost of software platform

• Creating the intelligent structure to activate latent resources

3-Approach for online learning

• Research based• What do you need to do move forward-steps

• Intelligent structure to aggregate resources• Intelligent learning apparatus to activate latent

resources• Collaborative and distributed working relationships• Funding…

– use slices from various ongoing projects– find NM foundation funds from outstanding grant ideas

• Plans/ Timeline/ Organizing events

4-Core Concepts

• Examples how to do this• Theory• See info on:– Group Collaborative Interaction– DLE– Time slices

Core Concept: DLP• Core Concept: Dynamic Learning Plan (DLP)• • What is a DLP? An approach to personalize a learning experience for learners before learners engage with a training or service. • • Purpose of DLP? Support learners to successfully participate in agency training or services• Identify personal knowledge needs, learning styles, motivational needs before a course of training• Design a personal plan with content and discussion relevant to the learner to build on with evolving personal expertise • Monitor and support self regulation of learning • Offer an ongoing, informal, safe, collaborative learning environment• Offer solutions to personal needs such as time demands, access to learning, and language • • Who are the learners? • Agency Clients needing support to successfully complete a training or service• Agency Staff supporting clients• • Strategies:• Ubiquitous online access to the DLP content activities and discussion • DLP activities identify personal learning needs in a fun, informal, safe environment • DLP activities begin with safe “icebreaker” activities enabling a collaborative community feeling • The DLP is an ongoing activity (electronic portfolio) that adapts to the learner’s authentic learning needs and growing personal expertise• The DLP structures safe, relevant content into bite size activity slices providing immediate feedback• The DLP discussions encourage the emergence of content and collaboration • • Outcomes:• Improved digital skills, language skills• Improved personal skills to learn and participate on own schedule• Increased learning participation and lifelong networks of learning• Increased deepening of knowledge

5- (focus group)

• What are you doing with Online?• Costs, options, effectiveness , frustrations• How important?• How difficult?

6- Focus Group

• Select “knowns”…group of those who know local populace from different perspectives

• Leaders, Hairdressers, Restaurant Employers, Program staff, Massage people….those who know from daily experience and acutely developed perception what is “really going on with regional people in our target group”

• Not selected unknowns from a group of clients made available by a friendly local program.
