HTML5 has been a buzzword in the eLearning industry for a long time now. Many are aware that courses published to HTML5 output work on multiple devices, but very few people know what it actually means and how it’s really connected to eLearning.

However, there are two sides to every coin, and HTML5 has its cons along with its much talked about pros. Here are the pros and cons of HTML5 in E-learning.
Time to Throw Out the Playbook In looking back at my parents’ education in the 1950s and 60s, and my own education in the 1990s and 2000s, I worry sometimes that despite the huge advances that we’ve seen in technology, not much has changed when it comes to how we view learning and how we design learning environments. The transmission model of education is still the name of the game, although in some circles there are signs of its erosion.
I would like to take you on a journey in this post, starting from the 1950s banking model (Freire, 1968) of instructional design, before comparing it to my own schooling experiences as a digital native at the turn of the century. Then, finally, I would like to share my vision for C21 learning, and propose some ways that we can move forward so that we are meeting the needs of today.

Hi Kimberly! Thanks for thumbs up!
Also we ask teachers to fill a survey that could help us to improve. Maybe you could find a few minutes to fill it yourself and pass to other teachers who use it? Thanks!

Blended learning is now the strategy of choice for most major employers across the world – but few are taking full advantage of the opportunities it presents. Blended solutions can be so much more powerful than just simple combinations of classroom and eLearning, instead assisting the employee on every step of their learning journey. The What is Blended Learning Infographic provides a broad-ranging, contemporary description of blended learning as defined in the book More Than Blended Learning (Clive Shepherd, 2015). More Than Blended Learning (>BL) is a refreshingly different but simple new approach to the design of learning solutions. Blended solutions combine contrasting learning methods and media in order to maximise effectiveness and efficiency. The More Than Blended Learning approach goes a step further to ensure the blend results in application to real-world tasks and the learner is supported along the whole length of their learning journey.

I think that this is such a great visual for my generation. It is so representative of how we rely, and use technology to demonstrate common core values in the classroom. This is great but it also could be our achilles heel, we need to apeal to all types of learners and visual is just one, there are so many more type that must be catered to so that we can be affective.
