		<title>Play to win:</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s not just education that&#8217;s looking to cash in on the idea that the addictive nature of games has some potential. Companies are realizing that &#34;gamification&#34; &#8212; using the same mechanics that hook gamers &#8212; is an effective way to generate business. via Play to win: The game-based economy &#8211; Fortune Tech. This idea that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Learning Styles — Again</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Every semester we go around with this. Every semester people argue with me about it. Every semester I run through the evidence and even with it staring them in the face, every semester teachers reject the idea that there is no credible evidence to support the idea of &#8220;Learning Styles&#8221; as currently applied in education.

		<title>What We Call Stuff</title>
		<description><![CDATA[D&#8217;Arcy Norman is one of my inspirations. Usually once a day or so he posts something that intrigues or challenges me. This is what I found when I woke this morning: It’s very basic, but that’s the point of the video. Could come in handy in talking with faculty members – sometimes they have interesting [...]]]></description>

		<title>Weblogg-ed » Who’s Asking?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Will Richardson is one of the pathfinders in this wilderness of education. He&#8217;s had a lot of interesting ideas and this is another one. So here’s the deal with the change that many of us in this conversation are clamoring for in schools: we’re about the only ones talking it. The townsfolk down at the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Design: Art, Science, Craft</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The boffins from The Obligatory What Do We Call It Dept have sent in today&#8217;s question: What is design? We&#8217;ll have a reading for you that&#8217;s specific to instructional design, but this morning, consider the idea of designing in general. Is it an art? A science? A craft? Maybe something else? Administrators would really like [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Process</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The basic ideas of instructional design are not necessarily intuitive, even to an experienced teacher. The challenge in this instructional task, as in any other, is not merely answering the question of &#8220;How do we impart the knowledge?&#8221; There are a lot of questions that all need answering at the same time, and frequently we [...]]]></description>

		<title>Advanced Instructional Design</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A new semester kicks off at Morehead University this morning and with it a new opportunity to explore some of the dimensions of instruction. I&#8217;m particularly keen to get going with some of the more advanced ideas in instructional design more explicitly. The course will look at social learning, models of cognition, and models of [...]]]></description>

		<title>The hidden curriculum&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been noticeably absent from posting these last few weeks. I wanted to see if you&#8217;d develop a discourse without me. You did &#8230; if it&#8217;s not exactly the discourse I would have liked to see, I&#8217;m still impressed that it developed in what was largely a vacuum. This is by way of introduction of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Advanced Tools: A Summary</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I wrote about some Exotic Tools when we first started out here and I&#8217;m not sure the list has changed much here either. These are tools that can be used to augment the tools that already exist, or in some cases to provide a specialize function. Podcasting is one of the new tools to make [...]]]></description>

		<title>Basic Tools</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Everybody has had a chance to put up a set of tools. I posted mine in 2006 and the list hasn&#8217;t changed much. What I didn&#8217;t put in there was what purpose I think each tool serves and why I&#8217;ve included it. Those are questions I&#8217;ve left to you.]]></description>
