Gamification In Learning
Upside Learning
There has been so much buzz around gamification recently that it can be difficult to separate the hype from the reality. With clients asking the first questions about In this post I'm attempting to draw some lines around gamification in learning.

Over the next few weeks I'm going to provide my own commentary to the excellent Learning Insights 2012 Report produced by Kineo for e.learning age magazine. The report is largely the work of Steve Rayson. In his own inimitable whirlwind fashion, he interviewed 30 or so major UK employers this summer to get a handle on the key trends in workplace learning.

This post continues my commentary to the Learning Insights 2012 Report produced by Kineo for e.learning age magazine. The second of the ten 'insights' in the report is that 'L&D is playing a key role in supporting informal learning'. Informal learning is a broad term, covering everything from on-job instruction and coaching, through to the use of performance support materials, collaborative and experiential learning; anything, in fact, that doesn't come bundled up as a full-blown course.

Next generation learning
Learning with e's
In my previous blog post, the architecture of learning , I outlined some of the key characteristics of learning in a digital age, and started to identify some of the main differences between Learning 1.0 before social media) and Learning 2.0. Learning 2.0 is socially much richer and more participatory, and relies more on interaction with other learners than any previous learning approach.
"Learning the new" vs "Learning the old"
Jane Hart
For many people the word "learning" is synonymous with studying, lessons, classes, etc – because that is how we have been conditioned to believe how "learning" happens. We think back to how we learned at school with a teacher, who took us through a topic step by step, in a logical way.
Know Thy Culture
The Peformance Improvement
Every organization has a culture. But not every organization has the kind of culture that will help that organization achieve success.

Culture is who we are. Getting that right helps with recruiting.

After all, we've managed pretty well up to now, so surely another year can't hurt!

Skills for Learning 2.0
Learning with e's
I have been thinking and writing about ' Learning 2.0 ' for some time now. This is the argument that there has been a paradigm shift in the way students learn - from 1.0 to 2.0, from passive to active, from individual to social and from consumer to producer. The University of Toronto's Mark Federman is a major contributor to this discourse. Firstly, learners need to be able to connect.

eLearning: Is This Learning, Winning, or Just Cheating?
I Came, I Saw, I Learned
by AJ George To elaborate on my previous gamification articles, I'd like to touch on the related issue of false achievement--learning how to play the system, or even cheat, in a game or learning environment to acquire the best game outcome (i.e., a win or level up) without actually getting the best learning outcome. This is a real concern when gamifying a learning environment. What happens when the student's desire to win becomes greater than the desire to learn? Similarly, what if the desire to win is already the driving force from the beginning? Gaming and Its Discontents.

It's easy to make fun of Americans. They do, after all, ask some fairly dumb questions. ("You're from Down Under? How did you learn to speak such good English?")
They also, as a nation, have a baffling approach to gun laws, a quite incredible opposition to universal health care, a "world series" in a domestic baseball competition, and occasionally just a slight arrogance at being leaders of the free world.
So Americans, both the ones in their homeland and the ones abroad, get kicked around quite often. Head to the comments section of any travel article talking about annoying travellers or dumb questions they've been asked while travelling and Americans will make an inevitable appearance. Or frequent appearances.
The ones at home are gullible, or ignorant. The ones you meet on the road are loud, rude and demanding. They expect everything to be the way it is back home. They're disappointed - and vocally so - when it isn't.
You've heard all the stories. You know the stereotype.
And that's why I figured it was about time someone mounted a defence of Americans. After all, some of my best friends are Americans. Some of the nicest people I've ever met are Americans. Some of the friendliest locals you could hope to find while you're on the road are Americans.
The thing I like about Americans - if you can group an entire nationality together, which is a little dangerous - is that there's an impressive lack of cynicism about them.
When they tell you to "have a nice day", they actually want you to have a nice day. When they say "I love your accent", they really do love your accent.
The Americans I've met seem to have a confident optimism that can put people off to begin with. You wonder if they're making a joke, if there are hidden levels of sarcasm beneath this facade of positive vibes and sparkly teeth.
Spend a little while in the country, however, and you come to realise that no, there are no hidden levels. What you see is what you get: genuine friendliness.
Because Americans are friendly. Want to meet people while you're in the States? Just go to a bar and order a beer. Bam, you've got friends. Someone will inevitably clock the accent and pipe up to ask where you're from.
It happened to me just a few weeks ago in Nevada. "Hey, I recognise that accent," the guy next to me at the bar said. "You're British!"
Well, no. And this, for me, is part of where Americans get their reputation. Think of all the dumb questions people from the US have asked you in the past: the whole reason they're even asking them is a genuine curiosity to know the answer.
The only reason they're talking to you in the first place is that they're friendly enough to want to make conversation.
You can travel through some countries and spend the entire time talking to yourself, because no one else seems interested in having a chat. That's never a problem in the USA. Your main issue is taking to the time to answer all those questions.
Of course Americans' lack of cynicism can also make them appear a little gullible. Because why would you lie? That's not very nice.
Of the Americans who travel, however, it can sometimes be hard to mount a defence. Stereotypes appear for a reason. But I've found that this is more a case of the vocal few ruining things for the polite majority.
I feel sorry for American travellers sometimes, sitting around hostels and being grilled about their warmongering government, or their gun-crazed southerners, or anything else that the self-righteous fellow travellers around them have an issue with.
These are the good ones, remember - the ones who have decided to get out and see the world. Cut them some slack.
In fact, cut all Americans some slack. They might be loud, they might be brash, and they might be gullible. But they've also got a genuine warmth and friendliness that we could all learn from.
Do you think Americans deserve a break? Or do they live up to the stereotype in your experience?

Tablet review: BQ Aquaris M10 Ubuntu Edition
The Aquaris M10 is very much a first attempt for BQ and you would expect future iterations to have some significant improvements. It's also hard to find compelling reasons why iOS or Android fans would want to switch over to an Ubuntu tablet, but those familiar with the operating system should be excited to finally have their needs met in the tablet market. One positive factor is that switching between tablet and desktop mode works very well for the most part, so can definitely fulfill professional needs as much as casual ones. This could be a viable option for someone who wants that flexibility and isn't too fussed about some of the more superficial features.

Saw - Unrated (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Frequently Bought Together
Customers Who Bought This Item Also Bought
Editorial Reviews
Product Description
The Uncut Edition differs only slightly from the theatrical release; it reinserts a little more gore that was cut to get an R rating and tightens up the editing (the uncut version is actually a teensy bit shorter than the theatrical release). The extras are plentiful (if a bit thin): Two audio commentaries (one by director James Wan, screenwriter/actor Leigh Whannel, and Elwes), one by the producers--thankfully, no one takes themselves too seriously. Also included are a trio of typically self-congratulatory making-of featurettes ("He was amazing to work with" etc.), an animated storyboard of a sequence they couldn't afford to shoot, a DVD-ROM game in which you can construct your own puppet, a couple of self-mocking Easter Eggs, and lots of promotional stuff for Saw II. There's a very curious faux-news show purporting to be an investigation of the "real" Jigsaw, which uses clips from the movie as if they were documentary footage--it's hard to say whether this is a misguided attempt to make the movie seem creepier or a bit of flimsy humor. Most fans will find the regular DVD release satisfactory; this special edition is largely for hardcore enthusiasts. --Bret Fetzer

Adam (Leigh Whannell), a young man, wakes up underwater in a dark room with a chain around his ankle. He is not alone, and when the light come on he finds himself is what appears to be a long abandoned public restroom. At the other end is Lawrence (Cary Elwes), who is also chained to a pipe. On the floor in between them, out of their reach, is the corpse of a man who apparently killed himself with a gun. In his hand is a tape recorder. After becoming oriented to his strange surroundings, Adam discovers a plastic bag in his pocket, containing an envelope. Inside is a key and a small cassette tape with the words "Play Me." Let the game begin.
Beyond that you really do not want to know that much about this before you see it, and given the dreck that passes for horror thrillers in recent years "Saw" is worth the seeing in the theater. The last time I actually went to see a film in this genre in a theater was probably "Hannibal," and I have not had any reason to regret being selective in this regard.Read more ›
The clever thing about 'Saw', is its primal simplicity in explaining the human condition. That is, when push comes to shove, a person will do some unsettling things to stay alive (remember that poor SOB that was caught under a boulder in the Rockies a couple winters ago - and had to cut off his own arm with a friggin' credit card to free himself?!). Now imagine you're in a similar siutation, BUT, you don't have to cut your own arm off - just some stranger. The bitter pill goes down a little easier, huh?
'Saw' if nothing else, is simple and unapologetic - and well it should be. 3 hour bio-pics like 'Ghandi' and 'Braveheart' need 20 richly developed characters and $100 million budgets - not horror movies. Besides, a lot of great flicks have ridiculously pedestrian plot lines (remember 'Speed'?). Moreover, if you took at least one social science class at college, 'Saw' is basically a grizzly 90+ minute version of Maslow's Experiment or the Prisoner's Dilemma (you may have to crack open a textbook to cite the reference).
Brass Tax folks - you WILL say to yourself during the movie, "She's not gonna do what I think she's gonna do?"; or "Please, don't tell me what I think is coming next, is actually coming next!". Either way, do yourself a favor and see it in the theater because 1) It may become a classic on the sub-genre; or better yet 2) It'll become a big cult film - and you'll earn bragging rights, 'cause you saw it BEFORE the hype.
SAW dives right into the depths of the madness too, opening with our killer's current victims, two men chained on opposite ends of a filthy restroom, a body in the center clutching a cassette player and a handgun. Each man is given a tape to play, which provides him with a nice dilemma to ponder during his captivity. The background of the killer and the events leading up to the men's current situation unfolds nicely during narrated recollections and well-placed flashbacks, while the actual motive stays hidden underneath the obvious delight the killer derives from the simple pleasures of torture.
Because SAW also brings to film an excellent `Whodunnit?', I am not going to elaborate on the storyline any further. Suffice to say that Cary Elwes and Danny Glover give excellent performances (Elwes surprising me since I have only seen him in comedy roles), the photography is good, the killing methods tasty, the blood not really overdone but still dosed out well, and the plot sustainable.
Lets face it fans, we don't go to horror movies to learn how to do decoupage, we go to get scared and grossed out. SAW fulfills that primal hankering, leaving you to utter `blech' and `bravo' in the same troubled breath, and wondering what your punishment would be like under the careful ministrations of this psychopath.Read more ›

Feminism In Faith: Four Women Who Are Revolutionizing Organized Religion
The first publicly ordained Orthodox Jewish female rabbi; an attorney leading the campaign to ordain Mormon women; a nun whose career was threatened for daring to question the Virgin Mary as a symbol of subservience; a Muslim journalist whose organization is re-translating the Qur'an's most controversial verse. Bringing change to institutions entrenched in centuries of tradition takes a very specific kind of fighting spirit.
In one sense, Sara Hurwitz, Kate Kelly, Elizabeth Johnson, and Zainah Anwar have nothing in common. They're members of totally different, mutually exclusive religions. They pray in different houses of worship. They study different holy books. And yet in another sense, they have everything in common. They are each attempting to inspire feminist change from within four religions that — to various extremes — pointedly seek to repress them, and to even be part of the establishments that encourage this repression.
Why bother? Why fight? If you're an educated feminist who was born into such a religion, why not convert to another that doesn't relegate women to a second-class status? For each of these women, the answer relates to not only her devotion to her own faith, but to her community. This is no small thing: By a rough estimation, there are nearly a billion and a half women on Earth who are Orthodox Jewish, Mormon, Catholic, or Muslim.
These four women aren't the only ones fighting for change within their respective faiths, nor are their particular methods the only ones reformers in these faiths are employing. The revolution each is a part of, to outside eyes especially, is modest in practice, if not ambition. It's about writing and presenting a report to the United Nations. It's about leading a 200-woman protest on the steps of a church. It's about graduating a class of three.
Consider these profiles — written by four women of these respective faiths — mere keyholes into much greater rooms that are these tremendous, complex, and always charged situations. These are small parts of a big story, the messy but important collision between revered antiquity and the common sense of modernity.
How do you follow a historic achievement that was called a "radical and dangerous departure from Jewish tradition"? By starting a school to help train the first generation of female Orthodox Jewish clergy in the hopes they can do the same. Read the full story, by Sigal Samuel, here.
Long whispered about in Mormon feminist circles, the ordination of women is now decidedly in the public eye thanks to a D.C.-based attorney. Read the full story, by Laura Marostica, here.
Widely considered one of the architects of Catholic feminist theology, the 72-year-old nun and professor has often clashed with institutional leaders — including the future Pope Benedict XVI — in her fight for equality in the clergy. Read the full story, by Jamie Manson, here.
By one common reading of the Holy Qur'an, a Muslim woman must choose between rejecting her faith and rejecting the notion of equality. This Kuala Lumpur-based journalist and activist has been working to find a third option. Read the full story, by Rafia Zakaria, here.

Gang Leader for a Day (Paperback)Sudhir Venkatesh
Paperback Published: 05/02/2009
- In stock
Click & Collect From your local shop
Sudhir Venkatesh the young sociologist who became famous in "Freakonomics" (Why do drug dealers still live with their moms?) describes his time living with the gangs on the Southside of Chicago and answers another question: what's it like to live in hell? In the Robert Taylor Homes projects on Chicago's South Side, Sudhir befriends J.T., a gang leader for the Black Kings. As he slowly gains J.T.'s trust, one day, in order to convince Sudhir of his own CEO-like qualities, J.T. makes him leader of the gang...Why does J.T. make his henchmen, the 'shorties', stay in school? What is the difference between a 'regular' hustler and a 'hype' - and is Peanut telling him the truth about which she is? And, when the FBI finally starts cracking down on the Black Kings, is it time to get out - or is it too late?

Stu Nicholls in collaboration with Javier Román Cortés
Working in collaboration with Javier Román Cortés I have produced this demonstration to celebrate 20 years of Photoshop™.
In this demonstration we have experimented with the webkit and moz keyframes style to animate 26 images to produce an infinite 'Zoom-In' effect. The idea and the images are down to Javier Román Cortés and the styling applied by myself.
So if you have either Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Opera or IE10, just hover your mouse over the image to see an infinite zoom-in effect, all done with just CSS.
This demonstration overcomes many limitations with webkit and moz keyframes and gives a fairly smooth transitions from one frame to the next throughout the whole animation.
The total zoom for the 26 images is 67108864:1

Amazon.com Review
Sixteen-year-old Laven Chitward's world is turned upside down when his mother is selected as a textile guild representative in the small rural community where he was raised. Moving to the capital city of Haven rips him away from his friends and boyhood pleasures, and nothing in Haven seems to fill that void. Unable to fit into the nouveau riche society, and unwilling to follow his parents into the textile guild, he finds himself adrift and depressed. His father enrolls him in a special school that will allow him to choose a trade that interests him, rather than be apprenticed against his will. There he finds himself terrorized and tortured by the boys in the sixth form until, with an awful roar, the gift of fire awakens deep within him and extracts revenge for his sadistic treatment.
With the help of a unique herald, an empathetic healer and a special companion, Laven soon learns to keep his gift under control and eventually, to direct his awful firestorm as far as he can see. When the kingdom of Karse attacks, Laven is hurried to the border to assist his king and country by repelling the invasion. During the final battle Laven earns the name Firestorm and becomes one of the most famous heralds in the history of Valdemar.
Brightly Burning is a distinct and unforgettable coming-of-age story. With a compelling cast of characters and lively dialog, Mercedes Lackey once again demonstrates her adroit mastery of fantasy fiction. --Robert Gately

2 Peter 2: [9] The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly from temptation, but to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be tormented. [10] And especially them who walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government, audacious, self willed, they fear not to bring in sects, blaspheming.
[11] Whereas angels who are greater in strength and power, bring not against themselves a railing judgment.
[12] But these men, as irrational beasts, naturally tending to the snare and to destruction, blaspheming those things which they know not, shall perish in their corruption,
[13] Receiving the reward of their injustice, counting for a pleasure the delights of a day: stains and spots, sporting themselves to excess, rioting in their feasts with you:
[14] Having eyes full of adultery and of sin that ceaseth not: alluring unstable souls, having their heart exercised with covetousness, children of malediction: [15] Leaving the right way they have gone astray, having followed the way of Balaam of Bosor, who loved the wages of iniquity,
[16] But had a check of his madness, the dumb beast used to the yoke, which speaking with man's voice, forbade the folly of the prophet. [17] These are fountains without water, and clouds tossed with whirlwinds, to whom the mist of darkness is reserved.
[18] For, speaking proud words of vanity, they allure by the desires of fleshly riotousness, those who for a little while escape, such as converse in error: [19] Promising them liberty, whereas they themselves are the slaves of corruption. For by whom a man is overcome, of the same also he is the slave.
[20] For if, flying from the pollutions of the world, through the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they be again entangled in them and overcome: their latter state is become unto them worse than the former.
[21] For it had been better for them not to have known the way of justice, than after they have known it, to turn back from that holy commandment which was delivered to them. [22] For, that of the true proverb has happened to them: The dog is returned to his vomit: and, The sow that was washed, to her wallowing in the mire.

Panda Internet Security 2010
Panda Internet Security 2010 has good extras, but falls short
- Strong signature-based malware detection, plenty of features
- Lacklustre detection of new malware, complicated interface
Bottom Line
Panda Internet Security 2010's interface needs some work, and its detection of new malware doesn't keep pace with the top performers.
Price$ 89.95 (AUD)
Best Deals (Selling at 2 stores)
Panda Internet Security 2010 includes all the basic features, plus some extras such as 2GB of online backup and the ability to protect USB devices. Despite its wealth of features, its detection of unknown malware falls short.
The Panda Internet Security 2010 interface is more complicated than it needs to be, using multiple combinations of both tabs and grouped items; this makes it confusing at first. That said, the configuration settings are easy to navigate, and are just one click away from the main screen.
The antispam feature adds a toolbar and a spam folder to Outlook and Outlook Express. Its backup feature can back up by file type (such as photos, Office documents, or internet favourites) or by selected folders or drives, and you can back up to Panda's online backup service. The parental controls require an account for each individual; by logging in, you activate the security set for that individual.
In our tests, Panda Internet Security 2010 did a good job of cleaning up infections. It detected all active infections on our test PC, rendered 93 percent of infections inert, and completely removed all files and Registry changes for 33 percent of infections (the removal rate is a little low, but no suite we tested completely removed every trace of malware). But Panda was only mediocre at detecting and cleaning up rootkits.
Panda Internet Security 2010 detected 93 percent of active rootkits and 80 percent of inactive rootkits. It was able to completely remove only 87 percent of this particularly stealthy malware. Our top performer was able to detect and remove all rootkits.
Panda Internet Security 2010's detection of new, unknown threats based on how they behave on a PC was unimpressive. It detected 73 percent of our samples, blocked 53 percent, and removed 33 percent. This is a hot area in PC security, as so-called zero-day attacks are becoming more frequent. The best performers managed to block over 90 percent of threats, but only Norton scored a perfect 100 percent in this category.
In detecting malware using traditional signature files, Panda Internet Security 2010 boasted a 99.8 percent detection rate. This means that Panda should be effective at detecting older malware - but since new malware outbreaks occur so frequently, traditional signature-based detection is less important than it once was.
Panda Internet Security 2010 slowed down boot times; our test system took 54.58 seconds to boot with Panda's suite installed. The sluggishness didn't persist, with Panda having minimal drag during ordinary tasks such as copying or creating files in Microsoft Office. Scan speeds were significantly slower than average; Panda took 5 minutes, 30 seconds to scan 4.5GB of data in on-access scanning tests that show how quickly the software can scan files when they are opened or saved to disk. The fastest-scanning suite completed the test in 2 minutes, 51 seconds.

Kathy Cassidy
First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Kanye West just dropped a music video for Wolves
Kanye West released his music video for "Wolves" on Friday.
Kanye West released his music video for "Wolves" on Friday.
The pair's very public back and forth dates back to 2009
A rundown of the much-debated Snapchat recording word for word
Swift posts response to Kardashian's Snapchat video on Instagram alongside the caption: 'That moment when Kanye West secretly records your phone call, then Kim posts it on the internet'
The pair have vented their frustrations at celebrity feuds
*Insert joke about $120 plain white t-shirts*
She claimed that the video 'feels informed and inspired by the aspects of our culture that make women feel unsafe even in their own beds, in their own bodies'
The singer is a former partner of West's wife Kim Kardashian and a wax-like version of him is depicted in the controversial video
West's provocative offering shows 12 prominent figures lying naked on a bed, apparently asleep
The album is now 20 tracks long
General ticket sales begin on June 18th.
The rapper has also unveiled his upcoming compilation record's artwork - and it looks slightly familiar
The people have spoken.
In which Kanye directs a verse at a bus
'He's talking about an urban generation that uses that word in a completely different way,' says McCartney
For those who missed the old Kanye
'I feel that if I had more resources, I could help more people. I have ideas that could make the human race existence within our 100 years better—period'
