Reusability 2.0: The Key to Publishing Learning | 2007-04-01 | Chapman Alliance |
| What would a person do if he or she had to develop and deliver personalized training to 900,000 employees, located in 34,000 different locations globally with a complex set of variables that changes training on a location-by-location basis? The key is reusability 2.0. While technology-delivered training has become mainstream in many organizations, most are still not fully leveraging the power of reusable learning content to meet their instructional needs. One of the main reasons is that most learning technologies are designed to create content for a specific learning purpose (i.e. e-learning).

Position Paper on "The Truth About DIBELS" | 2007-03-09 | |
| This paper shares concern about potential misuses of DIBELS. In hundreds of schools across the United States, DIBELS have contributed to positive outcomes for teachers and children. As educators who care about children, one needs to be vigilant about misuses of DIBELS and similar misuses of any assessment one uses. The primary questions one may want to ask to determine the usefulness of DIBELS for the school or district are: Are DIBELS being implemented appropriately for the purposes for which they were intended? Are teachers teaching the core components of reading broadly? Are DIBELS being administered and scored reliably? Are DIBELS and the instructional decisions informed by DIBELS helping to improve reading outcomes for students in one's school?
