Summary proposal: ALS

this is really not an easy task to prepared an proposal in 2 page, of content ALS

in this collaboration action, we need to submit our proposal to state goverment in Pulau Pinang, and present to Chief Minister YB. Lim Guan Eng and his Exco members

I'm sure you would like to know how E Learning could benefit the Government.

The benefits are as follows:

1. It's flexible and accessible for your workers –

Most of our action learning/e-learning courses can be done on-line, so your people wouldn't have to be grouped together in the same place at the same time. They can access e-learning at any time and anywhere.

2. It's inexpensive –

Formerly a lot of money has been spent on engaging outsource/independent multimedia course supplier companies to provide with the training. This is different.

3. Membership of a global learning community would connect Penang to the rest of the world -

Government workers would become students of internationally recognised standards. They would interface with other students from around the world and have access to the learning resources that comes along with such a population. This would help to keep standards in Penang up to date.

4. It offers a different approach in the learning environment –

Your people would be learning in different ways eg. Reading, listening or watching (mostly online courses, e-learning classroom, workshop, etc). In addition, they also can log into forum groups to communicate via SKYPE or Messenger to receive/updates of the latest information about relevant fields.

5. It engages interaction through problem solving and learning –

Your people would interact with other set-members in seeking answers, problem solving and end result learning. through collaborative work in problem solving such as using mind maps and group discussions. They would brainstorm and collect various pieces of information to solve problems abstractly.

6. It offers Informal learning –

Your people would be managing their own personal learning by searching and accessing all kinds of resources: videos, podcasts, blogs, wikis, mindmeisters etc. You would see them creating their own resources and storing them for easy retrieval, idea sharing and social networking to share good solutions and ideas.

7. This approach encourages collaboration –

You would see your people make connections with other set-members with whom they can communicate and share ideas, resources, experiences and so on. They would use new tools to self-organise, to collaborate and co-create content and generally work and learn together. This would create a model for teamwork to help the workforce to create a collaborative work ethic.

8. Progress records would help you overview learning-

The learning process of all students can be recorded and monitored and the information could be used to identify appropriate future leadership candidates. It could also be used to help identify areas of need within public services where further professional development or input from specialists might be required

9. This creates a win-win environment –

This would ensure that your people would become more participative, social and collaborative. This will develop a collaborative culture in the workplace – people will be supporting each other to learn at their own levels.

10. You would have the formation of long term skilled work force -

The newly skilled worforce will be able to share their skills and train others to work in this way, so the skilled workforce will become regenerative, with a ripple effect.

Some of the benefits to individual workers would be as follows:

1. Workers will become tecnologically competent in use of areas such as online tutorials, blog, networking,

and most important of all collaborating together.

2. They will be able to select appropriate tools to use online.

3. They will learn to work together, reading, listening, watching, sharing and connecting with others.

4. Individuals will learn to work independently or collaboratively and to to work to achieve expected outcomes

So in conclusion - we hope we have impressed you with the multi level benefits of E learning and would value your feedback when you have had some time to review the proposal at length.

how to embeded Mind Map into Blog

Publish Maps

MindMeister allows you to make your maps public, i.e. share them with everybody on the Internet. Click the Publish tab on top of Map Properties window to open the Publish Map dialog.






















Check the Publish map to internet option and copy the respective URLs to the clipboard.

If you do not want your map to appear in the Public Maps dialog you can enter a password. All URLs will per default include the password so your users can still get to the map without knowing it. You also have the option to delete the passord parameter from the URL you are using - in this case your users will be prompted to enter the password when connecting to the map.

You can publish your map as a WikiMap to enable read and write access for every MindMeister user.

The following URLs are provided:

• URL: e.g. for adding to an email message
• Direct link: for linking from a web page or blog
• Embed code: for directly displaying the mind map on your website, or integrating it into your blog in an inline frame

You can play around with the width, height and zoom parameters to the IFRAME request to make the map fit your desired dimensions.

finally, i know how to do this, and this mind map can also share during online discussion on SKYPE.

very powerful, and it's like magic, all the thigns across the finger tips.
