Editor's Notes
- #3 8.8 hours a week On the eve of World Water Day last week, the U.N. offered a sobering statistic: according to its recent study, more people on earth have access to cell phones than toilets. Out of the world's estimated 7 billion people, 6 billion have access to mobile phones. If Facebook were a country, it would be the most populous nation on earth. The huge social network said Wednesday that 1.39 billion people log in to Facebook each month to scroll their News Feeds, communicate with friends and look at photos. That’s more than the entire population of China, the world’s most populous country, which the CIA last estimated to have 1.36 billion people.

- #10 More frequently, the term is used in the domain of e-learning and related fields in the sense of a new paradigmatic perspective on learning processes in mediated environments. Microlearning deals with relatively small learning units and short-term learning activities. Generally, the term "microlearning" refers to micro-perspectives in the context of learning, education and training. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microlearning http://elearningindustry.com/awesome-resources-on-micro-learning http://elearningindustry.com/why-microlearning-is-huge http://www.microlearning.org/ http://www.learningsolutionsmag.com/articles/1578/the-microlearning-trend-accommodating-cultural-and-cognitive-shifts Time: relatively short effort, operating expense, degree of time consumption, measurable time, subjective time, etc. Content: small or very small units, narrow topics, rather simple issues, etc. Curriculum: small part of curricular setting, parts of modules, elements of informal learning, etc. Form: fragments, facets, episodes, "knowledge nuggets", skill elements, etc. Process: separate, concomitant or actual, situated or integrated activities, iterative method, attention management, awareness (getting into or being in a process), etc. Mediality: print media, electronic media, mono-media vs. multi-media, (inter-)mediated forms, etc. Learning type: repetitive, activist, reflective, pragmatist, conceptionalist, constructivist, connectivist, behaviorist; also:action learning, classroom learning, corporate learning, etc. Because old school training is expensive, time-consuming, and simply can’t be produced fast enough to react to a constantly changing work environment. By 2025, Millennials alone will make up that 75 percent of the workforce. The average attention span of the Millennial generation is 90 seconds. Deloitte recently estimated digital skills have a half-life of just 2.5 years for any given role. And because despite technology and digital products rapidly proliferating and evolving, these developments are only able to improve performance with the right training.

With learning pathways, the control of choice moves away from the tutor to the learner. https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&es_th=1&ie=UTF-8#q=what+is+learning+paths&spell=1 https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&es_th=1&ie=UTF-8#q=what+are+learning+paths http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learning_pathway http://edglossary.org/learning-pathway/ https://www.nmefoundation.org/getmedia/76ca2f20-4141-42a1-880f-0bab1bcc21bc/nessc-briefing-personalized-learning-pathways
