Learning in 3D through Virtual Book Club

Apr 09 2010 Published by under readings

I had the pleasure of seeing another presentation by Tony Kapp and Tony O’Driscoll, based on their book, Learning in 3D: Adding a New Dimension to Enterprise Learning and Collaboration.

During the presentation, in the back channel, Enid Crystal (@tweenid) suggested a virtual book club on Twitter. Endorsed by Karl and Tony, the hashtag is #3dbookclub. Since I have the book and haven’t started reading it yet, count me in! Let’s see how this goes.

Tony’s Reading List

Nov 11 2009 Published by under readings

I thought using the interlibrary loan system would be a great way to save money on books, and I still do. However, with a two week loan period, and a desire to reference them more in the future, I purchased the three that I borrowed over the past six weeks or so. At least the loan assured me that they are ones I want. Now to read, with an obvious need for a discplined approach to getting through:

The E-Learning Handbook: Past Promises, Present Challenges
Saul Carliner and Patti Shank, eds

E-Moderating: The Key to Teaching & Learning Online
Gilly Salmon

E-Learning Groups and Communities
David McConnell

I also have some free e-book downloads that I need to catch up on:

Mobile Learning: Transforming the Delivery of Education and Training
Mohamed Ally, ed.

A Designer’s Log: Case Studies in Instructional Design
Michael Powers

The Theory and Practice of Online Learning, 2nd ed.
Terry Anderson, ed.

Introducing Copyright: A Plain Language Guide to Copyright in the 21st Century
Julien Hofman

Opening Up Education: The Collective Advancement of Education through Open Technology, Open Content, and Open Knowledge
Toru Iiyoshi and M. S. Vijay Kumar, eds

And, of course, I need to spend some time with the new 6th edition of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association. I used to teach APA to my students in their first course in college. However, I recognize that you cannot retain it all, and the manual is a great reference.
