Kolb recycled and in draft

On Will Pollard's Posterous blog there is a cut and paste from a version of a Kolb cycle intended to be easier to compare with a Deming cycle. The original was found through a Tweet and blog by Steve Wheeler.    (@timbuckteeth) .

John Burgoyne has commented on this and mentioned a new paper- EASTERN EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING: EASTERN PRINCIPLES FOR LEARNING WHOLENESS by MAI P. TRINH and
DAVID A. KOLB. I have found a draft version available online-

Of course it will be worthwhile to find the Special Issue of the Journal of Career Planning and Adult Development. For one thing the diagrams will be in the right place. But this version is interesting and I am planning some time to read it. It follows on from John Burgoyne's talk, the second part with projections on Asian values and consumption.

Games, link to podcast with much theory

I am still waiting for ExitReality3D to explain what is the future of Twinity. Obviously I have a specific interest in this. There could be many extensions to the #mtw3 event.

Meanwhile here is  a link to a podcast with much context to ideas. Worth a listen if you have some time.

Future Human

Second Life and Virtual Action Learning

More on this topic later. For now I just want to pass on this photo of my colleague Sally Potter who is so far alone in visiting Second Life as well as meeting us in Twinity. She has visited Terra Incognita and plans to return.

There is a video from #mamllnet and I understand more will be available soon.

Scientific Leadership, more detail needed

My colleague Will Pollard has blogged about the recent talk by John Burgoyne. http://will789gb.posterous.com/scientific-leadership-still-looking-for-clues

 The blog links to video of the talk. This idea of "leadership science" is well worth looking at. I have also found a video of a talk by Peter Checkland. Lancaster University TV can do an excellent job. I normally live in the high definition world of Twinity but I realise this can be represented on video. Some of the lighting on YouTube is just a bit dodgy but anyway I am going off topic.

 

 There will be a face to face event in September. The more video people watch in advance the more time there will be for conversation.

New Slides to promote #mtw3 please tweet etc.

There is a new set of slides to explain this #mtw3 a bit better. #mtw3 slides Only four of them and not many words. It seems a bit obvious that research and management are in a loop. Critique is always part of this but there may need to be some persuasion if all the issues are to be public. My colleague Will Pollard has recently blogged about academic publishing, starting with a link on Critical Management. I think aspects of publishing will continue as a theme in #mtw3. The slides are a fairly simple version of what has already become diffuse. Please search on #mtw3 for more.

I am not George Fox, new website through Google

The good news is that there is a new central website for #mtw3. This will have links to this blog, the LinkedIn group and eventually Facebook. Actually a Google search on #mtw3 should find us but a website is still a useful centre. Of course I am very grateful to Google for hosting this site but the bad news is that thjey have mistaken my name for George Fox. My email indicates gfox because the George Fox building is near where I work. But my name is Linda Shelton. Not sure how this can be changed now but please just realise that posts from George Fox are actually from myself. Full url- https://sites.google.com/site/mtw3central

Updated outline of an actual day.

The previous post about the outline of a possible day in September still looks reasonable. There has been a bit more interest through the Critical Management site. So the stats tell me. On one of the hotseats for the Networked Learning Conference it was suggested that Analytics could be a nightmare or even fairy dust. But I find stats quite useful sometimes. The book on Cloud Time is now published and there are extracts on the Amazon Look Again. Something in this area would balance the technology claims that others are likely to make. The Cloud is still gaining I think but then I live in Twinity. My colleague Will Pollard has blogged about the LCC. I don't see why this could not be covered just because some situations are difficult. By the way Source Dubious tells me that the LCC building is only 12 stories high. The Ministry of Sound is planning for 30 stories in a rebuild. So the rumours about the LCC site could have a basis. Apparently the Elephant and Castle is a booming area. I'm not sure about everything that Source Dubious tells me but there must be something to this. Meanwhile I have noticed that there will be a couple of days to celebrate 30 years of the MA in Management Learning and Leadership at Lancaster. This will link to some social media and topics may include avatars so this is very interesting for me. I think the face-to-face event is free so suggest you have a look if you are near Lancaster at the end of May.
