Funny that now that I am just starting to understand them, they're becoming irrelevant.<BR/><BR/>Of course, we can play the semantics game and redefine LO or replace it with OER or LO 2.0, or whatever, but something different has emerged, and that's a good thing.<BR/><BR/>I won't comment too much on the white male thing, being one of the oppressive majority myself, but it does seem obvious that localization, whether to a class as a whole or drilling down all the way to individualization, is an important direction to go.<BR/><BR/>Given the diversity that exists around us, I wonder if it is even possible to come up with some usable localization framework other than just to say you need to do it. The Analyze learners and contexts portion of ADDIE or other ISD models has been around for awhile, so I don't know that there's never been anyone talking about it. Obviously many people haven't been doing it right, to say the least.robmbahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07483459468274711568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040070949813291139.post-77279199905013298182007-11-16T09:42:00.000-07:002007-11-16T09:42:00.000-07:00What a passionate post Bobbe.

But you're right: this need of localizing is typical of a particular set of people! :-)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02083888106366326051noreply@blogger.com
