Government Elearning - Spring 2009 - (Page 29) LINEAR CONTENT, COLLABORATION ARE RANKED HIGH According to a survey conducted by the Office of the Chief Learning Officer (OCLO), most National Nuclear Security Administration employees prefer to engage in learning that incorporates linear content and some aspect of collaboration. (See Fig. 1.) Participants who prefer to learn in real time (synchronous) are split 50-50 with those who prefer flexible time (asynchronous). All respondents are familiar with available hardware and software tools, but not all tools are used both professionally and personally. For instance, Blackberrys are not preferred for personal use; DVDs are — yet DVDs are seldom used in the workplace, according to the survey. Many employees report using Web 2.0 tools, but their use is primarily limited to browsing and passive interaction rather than creating content or other forms of active participation. Favorite Web 2.0 tools of NNSA employees for learning are Internet search engines (71 percent), virtual call centers (68 percent), Webinars (50 percent) and video sharing (41 percent). (See Fig. 2.) These same survey participants prefer smaller group sizes. While they are somewhat comfortable in a physical classroom setting (38 percent), only 9 percent prefer to learn from large group participation settings. Small student ratios were preferred, with 47 percent selecting the physical setting of small groups, 27 percent opting for discussion with a few colleagues, and 65 percent choosing to learn one-on-one with a subject matter expert (SME). Only a small number (15 percent) prefer to sit in front of a computer or television to learn. POSSIBLE TECHNOLOGIES Because of these survey results, the Office Government Elearning! Spring 2009 29
