70:20:10 model at the time of social media

The 70:20:10 model [Michael M. Lombardo and Robert W. Eichinger] has helped to definitively abandon the idea of "learning happens in classrooms": according to the research, 70% of learning comes from experience, 20% from people (feedback, coaching, dialogue, confrontation) and only 10% from traditional and structured learning (training, lessons, books...).

But the theory is from the Nineties and there could be questions on how does it work in the Social Media era, when connecting with people who have the proper information and knowledge is million times easier than before. Does it change the idea of "experience"? Could it make the "people" part bigger or, even, finally merge the two and make them imnpossible to separate?

What's more effective: let a learner making experience on an issue and than provide him/her feedback or assign a challenge together with a network of people who have knowledge/infos/ideas to corroborate that experience with other experiences in real time?

I think the time could come to slightly change the paradigma and consider a 90:10 model in which experience and network come together to accellerate and square the potential learning. 

Social Networking Education - classroom: game over?

Arriva in sordina un altro di quei fenomeni che potrebbero rivoluzionare il mondo dell'Education: Social networking education. Immaginare che non esistano piu' docenti e' una illusione - peraltro inutile - ma diminuirli in modo considerevole ed affidare il resto ad un knowledge sharing estremo, fatto di utenti-professori, capaci di attivare un vero mercato della conoscenza... ecco... questo e' piu' facile. Un open-source fatto di utenti... dove tizio insegna a caio e sempronio guadagnando soldi per comprarsi le lezioni di Vint Cerf magari, perche' no? O di Jobs, o di Marchionne.

Nessuna follia - ne parlava il New York Times mesi fa (cioe' nell'altro millennio in pratica): http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/25/technology/25iht-university.4.19660731.html?_r=1

To bring leadership where no leader has been before

Sul Wired italico di Luglio compaiono l'intervista a Peter Diamandis e quella a Vint Cerf - e basta leggerle per avere un paio di idee di cosa sia una Vision. Ma intanto ragioniamo su come sia possibile che dal nulla spunti una "Singularity University": 40 studenti dal talento estremo (1200 candidature...) in campi come la medicina, la tecnologia e l'economia pronti a misurarsi sul presente e sul futuro... il comitato accademico e' da urlo.

Il 10-Day program per Executives costera' 12M$ tutto compreso, il 3-Day program 8M$... da farci un pensiero?

Singularity University is an interdisciplinary university whose mission is to assemble, educate and inspire a cadre of leaders who strive to understand and facilitate the development of exponentially advancing technologies (bio, nano, info, AI, etc.), and apply, focus and guide these tools to address humanity’s grand challenges. SU is based on the NASA Ames campus in Silicon Valley.
