Localization: Taking eLearning Above And Beyond!

Localization: Taking eLearning Above And Beyond!:

Want to know if Localization can revolutionize eLearning? Check why Localization is the next big eLearning revolution and take eLearning above and beyond.

Education is coming out of the walled classrooms and crossing all physical barriers to empower hard to reach learners in the form of eLearning. But for the exponents of eLearning, it is important to understand that in order for this model to succeed, we cannot have a “one-size-fits-all” concept. The internet has melted the geographic barrier, but has it melted the language barrier too? English is still the most preferred medium of instruction for eLearning course developers, but in order to improve its efficacy, an eLearning course must be localized to suit the needs of the remote learner. While translating to native languages is one aspect, the power of localization can also be broadened to include the concept of on-demand learning. This article attempts to explore how localization can be the next big revolution in eLearning.

In its traditional definition, localization means to adapt a particular product to suit the linguistic and cultural sensibilities of a particular audience. When it comes to creating eLearning courses, developers are still using English to reach to a global audience. This is evident in the result of a Google search of “Top eLearning courses” (the results point to all English learning courses). But English is only the third spoken language in the world. Localizing a course to Mandarin, Spanish, or Hindi will give any eLearning course a mind-boggling number of audiences.

About Active Learning

What is active learning?

• Active learning is "anything that involves students in doing things and thinking about the things they are doing" (Bonwell & Eison, 1991, p. 2).
• Felder & Brent (2009) define active learning as "anything course-related that all students in a class session are called upon to do other than simply watching, listening and taking notes" (p. 2).
• Active learning strategies can be as short as a few minutes long.
• Active learning techniques can be integrated into a lecture or any other classroom setting relatively easily. Even large classrooms can involve learning activities beyond the traditional lecture format.

Education Online The Latest State of Research

There are both pros and cons of online education.

Online learning should be seen as a complement and extension of classical forms of learning. Not even the best online course can fully replace the personal contact with a teacher, or the human relationships that develop in a group.

All in all, traditional classes should not be replaced with online learning.

What is the future of reading books?

Although the want for e-book services in libraries has grown, and so the number of people with e-readers, some difficulties still keep libraries from being able to provide the popular technology. Just recently have most big publishers agreed to sell e-books to libraries for public use. It has taken many years but publishers of electronic books now realize that libraries providing an e-book to patrons can be a huge opportunity for advertising and usually results in patrons becoming customers.

Michael Bublé - Save the Last Dance for Me

You can dance every dance with the guy
Who gives you the eye, let him hold you tight
You can smile every smile for the man
Who held your hand 'neath the pale moonlight

But don't forget who's taking you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
So darlin', save the last dance for me, mmm

Oh, I know that the music's fine
Like sparkling wine go and have your fun
Laugh and sing but while we're apart
Don't give your heart to anyone

But don't forget who's taking you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
So darlin', save the last dance for me, mmm

Baby, don't you know I love you so?
Can't you feel it when we touch?
I will never, never let you go
I love you, oh, so much

You can dance, go and carry on
Till the night is gone and it's time to go
If he asks, if you're all alone
Can he take you home, you must tell him, no

'Cause don't forget who's taking you home
And in whose arm's you're gonna be
So darlin', save the last dance for me

'Cause don't forget who's taking you home
And in whose arm's you're gonna be
So darlin', save the last dance for me, mmm

Save the last dance for me, mmm, mmm
Save the last dance for me, mmm
Save the last dance for me

Education vs. Experience: What is the most effective learning?

Education vs. Experience: What is the most effective learning?
This is my Dear Friend Cheryl Lentz writing.
We met online and after some time Cheryl came to Poland. It was an awesome meeting in person at the Wroclaw Airport.

 This is how I invited my Colleagues to her presentation

You are invited to meet American Dr. Cheryl Lentz, from Albuquerque NM.  She is the International Best Selling Author, Professor, & Speaker, known as The Academic Entrepreneur™. The world is in desperate need of leaders willing to take risks, blaze new trails, and question boundaries to take our society into the future. Sometimes this leadership is with a grand gesture; sometimes leadership simply comes softly. Dr. Cheryl is one of these innovators, critical and refractive thinkers, and leaders who is audacious and bold.  She is willing to  question what we are doing and why, often asking why not, willing to search for answers to questions not yet even asked. Join her as she comes to speak at Foreign Language Center of WRUT to share effective new teaching strategies using emerging technologies in the classroom to enhance student engagement and retention.
