Disciplinary Intuitions and the Six Learnings now on iTunesU

i am very pleased to share that a short self-paced course on the theory of learning known as Disciplinary Intuitions - and its accompany curricular framework known as the Six Learnings - is now available on iTunesU :-)

many thanks to the Centre for e-Learning at the National Institute of Education, Singapore, for kindly facilitating this :-)

Journal of Virtual Worlds Research - special issue on 'Asian Perspectives'

i am very pleased to share that Vol 5 No 2 of the Journal of Virtual Worlds Research - which is a special issue on the theme of 'Asian Perspectives' - has just been published.

this issue has been co-edited with my friends and fellow educators - Cho Young Hoan and Michael Vallance.

for your convenience, the issue is available as a 10 MB PDF, and as a Calameo document below.

i've also made available an ePub version; this has none of the tables nor figures, in the interest of file-size (it's a tidy 619k download).

it's a great way to have handy access on your iPad to the diverse range of solid educational research in the field - and if you need the original papers you can always download them from the links below:

happy reading :-)
