Lifelong learning expert Jeff Cobb "officially" launched his new book "10 Ways to Be a Better Learner" on Monday, June 4 (the Kindle version will be available for free download for the first week). When I heard this, I straight away invited him to do a webinar, and he accepted the invitation with such short notice (Kudos to him!!!). So, we are thrilled to announce that our next online speaker is Jeff Cobb. Great!10 WAYS TO BE A BETTER LEARNERTitle : 10 Ways to Be a Better LearnerDate : 6 June, 2012 Time : 10:00 AM, Kuala LumpurVenue : Online (WizIQ)Description"In this talk, I will explore 10 Ways to Be a Better Learner, which is also the title of my new book. It  was inspired by my ongoing work on the Mission to Learn blog, and also by my work in consulting with trade and professional associations on their continuing education and professional development businesses. I've come to believe that one of the critical roles these and other lifelong learning organizations can play is to help their members/customers become more capable and effective lifelong learners in our high-speed, hyper-connected world. I feel that many of us simply weren't all that well prepared by traditional schooling to handle the massive flow of information and the continual need for upgrading our knowledge and skills that are demanded by the "learning economy" in which we now live. I'm hoping this book will provide some easy-to-digest, practical help."  - Jeff CobbSpeakerJeff Cobb is the founder of the Mission to Learn blog, co-author of Shift Ed: A Call to Action for Transforming K-12 Education (Corwin, 2011) and author of the forthcoming Leading the Learning Revolution (AMACOM, 2013). Through his consulting and research firm, Tagoras, he works with organizations in the business of lifelong learning to maximize the reach, revenue, and impact of their offerings. He also speaks frequently on how technology is transforming business, education, and the business of education. Click here to find out more about Jeff Cobb.RECORDINGCLICK HERE for the WizIQ recording (version).SLIDES 10 Ways to Be a Better Learner - IMU Webinar View more presentations from Tagoras UPCOMING WEBINARS?CLICK HERE!

I gave a talk during the 'Annual Teaching and Learning Seminar 2012' at USM on the 26th June,  2012. 21st CENTURY EDUCATOR During your lifetime you have probably experienced inspirational educators, or witnessed inspiring lectures. But, what about you? Are you such an educator? If not, why not? In this talk, I explored some of the ingredients top educators in the 21st century have, and how we can learn from them, and reinvent ourselves to reach our true potential as an educator.

If you are interested to understand the power of social media and mobile devices to facilitate learning and teaching, I can't think of a more appropriate expert than Steve Wheeler to inspire us to the next level. Here we go!Title : Social Media & Mobile Technology: Learning in a Digital AgeDate : 11th July, 2012 Time : 4:00 PM, Kuala Lumpur (Check time differences) Venue : Online (WizIQ) Description:We are witnessing an exponential rise in the use of social media and mobile technology. We have recently seen widespread use of blogging and social networks, use of Twitter and social tagging, wikis and collaborative filtering, recommender systems. All of these and more, are impacting upon the world of education and training, and there is now a need for concerted research into the effectiveness of these applications. Coupled with the rise in use of mobile phones, handheld computing and the soon to arrive wearable computing and augmented reality tools, we are on the crest of a new wave of learning. Using examples from recent research this presentation will explore the new ways students are learning, and provide some examples of how education might adapt to these new trends.Speaker:Steve Wheeler is Associate Professor of Learning Technologies at Plymouth University, in South West England. Originally trained as a psychologist, he has spent his entire career working in media, technology and learning, predominantly in nurse education (NHS 1981-1995) and teacher education and training (1976-1981 and 1995-present). He is now in the Faculty of Health, Education and Society. A trained educator, he teaches on a number of undergraduate and post-graduate teacher education programmes. He specialises in research on e-learning and distance education, with particular emphasis on social media and Web 2.0 tools. He is regularly invited to speak about his work and has given keynotes and invited lectures to audiences in over 20 countries across 5 continents. He is currently involved in several research programmes related to e-learning, social media and handheld technologies.

OER TALK Below are the presentation slides for the OER talk that I gave at the Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) on July 9, 2012. It explores how we can find, reuse, remix, create and share OER. It also provides a lot of excellent resources and tips.OER Talk at UKMView more presentations from Zaid Alsagoff.This SlideShare version is not a big update from my OER workshop at USM recently. Though, I have added a few more juicy learning resources and also added a cool slide exploring a bit more about... I will leave it for you to discover that! Obviously, I will not be able to cover all 186 slides in-depth during this talk, but I am still sharing the full slide deck as a learning resource for all the UKM participants attending and other people out there who are interested. If you want me to cover the whole presentation comprehensively, I would need 1-2 days, which will also involve a lot of discussion and hands-on activities.The only way to really understand and appreciate OER is to get your mind and hands into reusing, remixing, creating and sharing OER.    LINKS SHARED DURING THE OER 101 TALK Here is easy access to all the links discussed or explored during the talk:1.

CLICK HERE...for the Scoop.it version to all! THE STORY! Last year, the amazing Prof. Dr. Mohamed Amin (Deputy Director, e-Learning, Centre for Academic Development, UKM) discovered through a large survey he conducted to academics and students from mostly public universities in Malaysia that there was a lack of awareness (and training opportunities) about Web 2.0, and how Web 2.0 can be used for learning and teaching. So, what did Prof. Amin do? Sit down and write another white paper, or research report recommending this and that? That is typical old school mentality, which I suppose some academics would probably still do. No, instead....    QUICK REFERENCE GUIDESProf. Amin started using several different types of Web 2.0 tools (Scribd, SlideShare, GoAnimate, YouTube, etc) to create/publish quick reference guides in creative ways exploring the "What, Why and How" of using Web 2.0 tools for learning and teaching. Since then, he has continued his increasingly successful mission to make a change, and here is a growing list of his amazing work to provide a gentle introduction to using Web 2.0 tools for learning and teaching:  JiT2U - Mobile Version to Learning Web 2.0 Web 2.0 Content Creation Tools Web 2.0 Research Tools Web 2.0 Survey & Polling Tools Web 2.0 Sharing Tools Web 2.0 Collaboration Tools Web 2.0 Social Networking Tools Web 2.0 Tools in EducationWeb 2.0 e-Publishing ToolsWeb 2.0 Annotation & Bookmarking Tools Web 2.0 Mindmapping & Brainstorming Tools 40 Must-know Web 2.0 EdutoolsMore...Here is one of his GoAnimate animations exploring how to use YouTube for learning and teaching (Check out his YouTube channel, too): RESULTS? So far, his Web 2.0 (OER) work has reached people from more than a hundred countries, and this growing collection has now been viewed more than a 150,000 times. However, his amazing work has yet to go really viral, and if it does...WOW!However, as I discussed with my dear friend Prof. Amin yesterday (before my OER Talk at UKM) is that it will be difficult to keep all the quick reference guides updated as he adds new Web 2.0 tools to the growing collection. The navigation and especially the interface of many Web 2.0 tools keep on changing as they evolve, and to keep that updated in quick reference guides will certainly require a lot of extra work (and headaches). One way, is to convert these quick reference guides into Wiki format using for example Google Sites, and then easily invite other interested educators to participate in keeping them updated. Another way is to focus more on the 'WHAT' and 'WHY' (including learning and teaching tips), and then simply link to the 'HOW', which now many Web 2.0 tools (e.g. Twitter help) are doing a pretty good job (also they will certainly update the screenshots and changes faster).Whatever, Prof. Amin plans for the future, his amazing work deserves a BIG KUDOS!Yes, his quick reference guides to Web 2.0 tools is certainly a learning treasure for anyone (who can read English or Malay) :)

'Using Social Media for Research' will be presented on the 2nd September (Insya-Allah) at the APAME Convention 2012. Interestingly, I have decided to share the presentation slides much earlier here, because I am basically done with the draft version, and would simply love some feedback and suggestions for improvement before the APAME Convention 2012. Please feel free to slam everything any way you like, because I can easily update the slides (and ideas) for the better.If your improvement idea(s) stink (according to my humble opinion), I will still recognize your effort by adding your name to a dedicated slide displaying all the names of the awesome geniuses that have contributed in making this presentation or talk better.If I get no feedback, I can humbly say that this presentation was curated and mashed-up by Me, Myself and I. Either way, thanks for just reading this and surfing through my presentation slides! Here we go...ABSTRACTToday nearly a Billion people use Facebook, and more than 500 million use Twitter to connect, share and interact with one another. YouTube receives more than 4 Billion video views per day, millions of people blog, and there are more than 14 million articles on Wikipedia. Social Media today is impacting every aspect of our lives whether it is our social, working, education or family life.  However, what about using social media for collaborating on research projects and communicating scientific knowledge? This talk will explore how social media can be and is used to play a critical role in the full academic research cycle. We will look at how we can use a variety of social media tools to collaborate on identifying, creating, quality assuring and disseminating scientific knowledge. For example today, many doctors are using Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and Blogs to share and discuss their latest research with their fellow professionals and the public. By doing so, their work is sometimes being peer-reviewed by hundreds of experts around the world, empowering a more impactful learning and research experience.PRESENTATION SLIDES Using Social Media for Research from IMU (International Medical University)PONDERING!You might be thinking now, "How much time has Zaid been given to present his talk'? Sadly, only 20-30 minutes. How the _____ are you going to cover 66 slides in that time?  Great question! If you look carefully, 15 slides are basically fillers or additional whoa, meaning I basically need to cover only 51 slides over say 20 minutes, which sounds insane (to some). Guy Kawasaki would have fired me on the spot after 10 slides (over 20 minutes). I hope you are familiar with his famous 10/20/30 (10 slides/20 minutes/30 words) rule for good PowerPoint presentations.  This might apply well for a good pitch, but if you ask me, I would simply be bored to death if I only saw 10 slides over 20 minutes, unless the speaker blows me away with great ideas and insights. So, how are you going to inspire your main idea to the audience? Not 100% sure yet (still got time!), but the presentation slides (shared above) basically covers what I want to share regarding this topic that was assigned to me, which was to talk about how we can use social media to communicate scientific knowledge. My main point is to convince the audience that social media (or web 2.0 and web 3.0 for that matter) can be used for much more than simply communicating scientific knowledge. And to know what I mean by that, please 'Wallop' the presentation slides shared above, and if you can find time...Please slam away, too! Hidden main point (please don't tell anyone)...If you are totally lost (after the presentation) but excited about the prospects of using social media for research (and learning)...Please, don't hesitate to invite me to conduct a 1-2 day workshop on how to creatively use some of these social media tools to...I shall say no more :)

OER 101 WORKSHOPThis 2-day workshop will be conducted at Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) from 27th - 28th August, 2012. It provides an introduction to the understanding of Open Educational Resources (OER), and how OER can be found, reused, remixed and created. During the workshop, we will explore and discuss together the concept of OER, Creative Commons, MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses), business models, and variety of OpenCourseWare (OCW) case studies and content development tools. During the 2nd day, participants will be required to work in groups (hands-on) to create a course topic/module (of choice) by reusing and remixing OER from a variety of sources. In the final session, we will discuss how to move forward with OER at USM. PRESENTATION SLIDES The OER 101 Workshop at USM II from IMU (International Medical University)The latest edition has some new slides compared to the first OER workshop at USM, especially on MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses), which will be more emphasized this time around.
