You see my concept of Learning Management is quite simplistic. "It's about having all the balls in place". As a Learning Manager you need to :
- Know your learning theories and how/when to apply them
- It is knowing your learner
- Knowing the constraints in which you work eg resources, budgets etc
- Aware of other stakeholders
- Achieving a work life balance
- Knowing what outcomes you need to achieve
- Establishing good classroom discipline
- Establishing a respectful 'two way' relationship with your learner
- Understanding the differences amongst your learners
- Realizing there is always something new to learn
- Accept the need for change
- Know your limitations
- Realise the basics are important and get your learners to understand this too.
Hi Susan, I think your summary is very appropriate and says it all. These are the fundamentals and then we expand from there. I think everyone can contribute no matter how much or little they say as everyone has their own perspective and all contributions have been valuable to me.. I also like your most recent post about the Friedmans's Flat World Discovery, very relevant to what we are learning about. Regards, Carolyne
