Online Health Search 2006
Eighty percent of American internet users, or some 113 million adults, have searched for information on at least one of seventeen health topics. Most internet users start at a general search engine when researching health and medical advice online. Just 15% of health seekers say they “always” check the source and date of the health information they find online, while another 10% say they do so “most of the time.” Fully three-quarters of health seekers say they check the source and date “only sometimes,” “hardly ever,” or “never,” which translates to about 85 million Americans gathering health advice online without consistently examining the quality indicators of the information they find. Most health seekers are pleased about what they find online, but some are frustrated or confused >>>

a discussion about eLearning
Learning Globally - Perspectives From Outside the United States
Alison Blair, Australian Catholic University
Lorenzo Cantoni, University of Lugano (Switzerland)
We are all living and learning in a "flatter" world in which learning must be delivered globally and with a broader base of content. Yet our individual styles, cultures, needs and audience preferences also come into play. Join us to discuss the views and experiences of some of our colleagues living and practicing outside the United States.
• What are the unique characteristics of learning and learning innovation in various regions of the world?
• What are the influences of early education techniques and governmental roles in learning/training or access to resources?
• How do organizations best create learning programs that "work" throughout the world?

Why Minimal Guidance During Instruction Does Not Work: An Analysis of the Failure of Constructivist, Discovery, Problem-Based, Experiential, and Inquiry-Based Teaching,
Educational Psychologist, 2006, Vol. 41, No. 2, Pages 75-86
by
ABSTRACT:
Evidence for the superiority of guided instruction is explained in the context of our knowledge of human cognitive architecture, expert–novice differences, and cognitive load. Although unguided or minimally guided instructional approaches are very popular and intuitively appealing, the point is made that these approaches ignore both the structures that constitute human cognitive architecture and evidence from empirical studies over the past half-century that consistently indicate that minimally guided instruction is less effective and less efficient than instructional approaches that place a strong emphasis on guidance of the student learning process. The advantage of guidance begins to recede only when learners have sufficiently high prior knowledge to provide "internal" guidance. Recent developments in instructional research and instructional design models that support guidance during instruction are briefly described.
