Visual Thinking in Business Model Design
At the heart of every business beat two essential elements: an idea and a plan. An idea without a plan is just a dream. A plan without an idea is just a list. For a business to grow and thrive, it must have both.
A “Vivid” idea weaves together both words and pictures to create a visual+verbal image we can see, understand, and remember. And that is a great way to describe a business.

Mobile Strategy
We make recommendations on how to improve collaboration and performance utilising Mobile ICT. The dramatic increase of smartphone technology which now accounts for 20% of 3 billion mobile devices globally, and the continuous shift towards mobile accessibility, is an important signifier of the times we live and operate in. As users access more applications and services on their mobile devices, businesses need a unified approach to managing the mobile networks.

Mobile Meets Informal Learning
Design for Mobile: Emerging Technology in Museums
In his presentation on Emerging Interactive Technology and the Museum Experience at Design for Mobile in Chicago IL, Michael Horn described the potential pitfalls and opportunities for mobile computing in learning environments like museums.
- We are seeing a cultural shift brought on by the involvement of mobile devices in our everyday lives. This trigger three challenges:
- Relevance: how do you stay relevant in the age of ubiquity?
- Engagement: how do we foster new ways of engaging with content?
- Integration: how do we blur the boundaries?
- Informal learning: is more than the acquisition of facts, data, etc. Rather, it is measured by shifts in perspective/attitudes/beliefs and a social experience- a more active experience of learning. Mobile technology paired with informal learning represents a great opportunity.

Interesting research…
Educational Change via @amichetti
Two quotes I found inspiring…
- Change within educational organizations is slow, and my experience has taught me that this is because admin, teachers, parents, and other stakeholders are often skeptical, sometimes uncomfortable, and occasionally lazy. Find ways for the skeptics to remain, for the uncomfortable to be comfortable, and for the lazy to leave, and you have a recipe for a potentially innovative environment.
- Technology can be a catalyst, but not the reason, for change in education. The world is the reason.
Steve Howard Explains the Difference between Social Learning and Collaborative Learning (Interview clipped)
The entire interview transcript is recommended, this is a section that stood out.
NASCO’s Instructional Technologist Discusses Communities of Practice and their Importance (Interview)
Steve Howard works as an Instructional Technologist at NASCO in Atlanta, GA. He is responsible for building educational content, enabling learning, and investigating, specifying and introducing new tools and methods of formal and social learning. You can find him on LinkedIn.
Q. Sounds like NASCO is really buying into social learning. Or is it collaborative learning?
To my thinking, ‘social learning’ is like learning from others, whereas ‘collaborative learning’ is learning with others. But the divisions are not so simple. I learn enormous amounts from other people through Twitter. I follow hundreds of learning experts, design experts and development experts and get introduced to masses of information that I cannot efficiently discover any other way.
But I don’t just eat and drink from Twitter, I also contribute. I share links and information on Twitter. I also interact with the people I follow and those who follow me. Some of that is simply being social, some of it is networking, and some of it is discussing, sharing ideas, having real conversation. Much of this interaction leads to other conversations and projects that take place outside of Twitter. So while I describe Twitter as social learning, there are definitely collaborative aspects. Equally, if you cast your thoughts back to my other answers, you should clearly see social aspects in the collaborative learning that takes part with communities of practice and within learning organizations like NASCO.
