Podcast: NBC News Launches Learning/Networking/Engagement Platform
Special Note! I just finished interviewing Adam Jones, NBC News - Senior
Vice President of Network Development and CFO for a special Learning TRENDS
Podcast.
We talked about a revolutionary learning platform that NBC News has just
released: iCUE. They have even opened up a new group called NBC Learn.
There is a combination of journalists, media specialists and learning
professionals working in this group. And, NBC has partnered with MIT on
developing the design of this next generational learning model. I was
impressed with the ability of the learner being able to manipulate and
contextualize video content with thie platform.
iCue takes "e-learning" a huge step forward, with the introduction of small
video chunks (from the NBC News archives), social networking and gaming.
They blend these learning and engagement components in new ways, which will
form the basis of new pedagogical approaches.
iCue is a free service and is starting with content/courses aimed at
Advanced Placement classes for high school students. In the future, the
platform could be ideal for learning design for a wider range of learners
and content.

service.
I'd love to get your thoughts and questions via email to emasie@masie.com
Thanks to NBC News for the podcast and their work in learning.
