#GoingViral - #SocialMedia - #Technology(Networks and Platforms)

Will, before (application of) Skill (and Technology - as tool and platform)

COVID-19 has been and 'is' the transforming 'event', 'trigger' and 'stimulus' for transforming learning, education, and training (in medical education) - not 'Technology'. COVID-19 as a global event, and challenge, to humanity, our resilience, and to our very survival - our 'lives and livelihoods', our current life and future(s), has provided the #Will to #Transform - using our #CollectiveIntelligence and (amplified, assisted and augmented by) #Technology.

Ideas can however go 'viral' (like COVID-19) with speed and impact, globally, amplified and scaled by technology, including 'social media'. Which taps into, and blends the powerful ideas or concept of 'Communities of Practice' (COP) and 'Communities of Interest' (COI), supported, augmented, amplified and scaled by and through (judicious, intentional - sometimes! use of) technology.

"Chariots of Fire” is a film that digs deep into the human spirit. It not only presents us the story of two men and the motivations they have for running, it reaches to the very essence of the questions of why we exist and what significance our lives have."

“Nothing else in the world…not all the armies…is so powerful as an idea whose time has come.”–Victor Hugo, The Future of Man. From the series Great Ideas of Western Man.

' ... within the complex ecologies of formal educational systems, textbooks remain central to learning experiences and video remains a supplemental resource ...' - Justin Reich [page 231, Conclusion (Chapter), in 'Failure to Disrupt: Why Technology Along Can't Transform Education', Harvard University Press, Cambridge, Massachusetts, 2020]

eLearning or Technology enhanced Learning

- What it is not, and 'is'

(inspired by a long hot shower)

A 'book' is a 'technology', but alone is 'not' learning.

A 'tablet', mobile device, wearable computing interface/wearable tech, laptop or desktop computer is 'technology', but alone is 'not' learning.

Access to, or visiting a 'library' is 'not' learning.

Access to 'online' digital content is (in and of itself) 'not' learning.

Learning is a physiological (cognitive) process, which requires a combination of 'hunger' or 'desire' to learn, active 'interaction' with content, and a learning or training process (ideally following a deliberate practice with feedback and reflection, and mastery training paradigm), informed by learning science, instructional design principles, pedagogically and technologically literate and trained instructors and teachers (including for clinical practice domain experts), with students and trainees undergoing a stepwise, progressive, cumulative, both to the task and for the task, but ultimately a lifelong, self-directed, self-motivated (including knowing when and how to seek both human and increasingly AI guided coaching and instruction) educational developmental process.
