\"Learning<\/a>I think about learning.\u00a0 A lot. I look at learning as a process.\u00a0 I think about the system that is needed to be in place to make learning happen.\u00a0 The sketchnote is my attempt to visualize how I am currently thinking about learning. (Yes, I drew it.)<\/p>\n

All the pieces of the vision exist not a holistic system.\u00a0 Let me explain.\u00a0 I look at the process and system in three main areas: content, system and data.<\/p>\n

Nos. 1 and 2 are about content.
\nNos. 3, 4, 5 and 6 are about the system.
\nNos. 7, 8, 9 about data.<\/p>\n

CONTENT 1, 2<\/strong>
\n1. Creating content for all devices<\/span>
\nPeople have access to desktops, laptops, smartphones tablets or feature phones.\u00a0 Although we know how fast the use of smartphones is growing, the majority of people that we work with and need the most access to information have feature phones.\u00a0 As we develop learning materials and adapt print and face to face materials, we have to adapt them to use on multiple devices.\u00a0 It is a tremendous amount of work, but if we want to reach the greatest population at this point in time, we have to do that.<\/p>\n

Content is developed and adapted for different devices and then\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

2. Loading content onto the system<\/span>
\nLearning platforms to disseminate materials exist for each device. But is there one system that connects all of them?\u00a0 If you are working with the same group that have different devices, wouldn\u2019t it be great to load the content and disseminate the course to everyone even if they are accessing it on different devices?<\/p>\n

Content is loaded onto a Learning Management System and then\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

SYSTEM 3, 4, 5, 6<\/strong>
\nA system is needed to manage the content and track learnings.\u00a0 It is what a Learning Management System (LMS) does.\u00a0 I am calling it a LMS\u00a0 because it is common terminology.\u00a0 It may be another type of system.\u00a0 It doesn\u2019t really matter what it is called.<\/p>\n

3. Accessing the content<\/span>
\nThe content is disseminated through one platform.\u00a0 Learners receive the content and access activities through the different devices as described in No. 1.<\/p>\n

The learner accesses and does activities and then\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

4. Tracking the learner<\/span>
\nWe want to capture the experiences of the learner for a number of reasons. We first want to see how people are doing, if people are doing anything, where there are stumbling blocks, where people need help.\u00a0\u00a0Second, on the learners\u2019 side people love to see what they got right.\u00a0 Third, everyone else besides the educators and learners these days wants to track learning.<\/p>\n

How do you track if learning is happening? An assessment, yes.\u00a0\u00a0 It can also be in gathering information, interacting on social media, watching a video, achieving milestones in games and simulations, performed work tasks and outputs, participating.\u00a0 Tracking these experiences that are part of learning adds more value in looking at how learning is taking place.<\/p>\n

The system has the capability of tracking learning experiences and then\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

5.\u00a0 Storing learner’s experiences: Learning Record Store<\/span>
\nThe learner performed an action.\u00a0 \u201cI did this.\u201d\u00a0 An event took place.\u00a0 These events can be as simple as “accessed a resource”, “watched a\u00a0movie”, “played a game”, “passed a test” or “visited a location”.\u00a0\u00a0 These actions are collected into a Learning Record Store (LRS).\u00a0 A LRS is essentially a database where each learner\u2019s experiences.\u00a0 It provides an overview about what and how people have developed their knowledge, skills and competences.<\/p>\n

The system captures and stores the learning experiences and then\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

6. Awarding open badges<\/span>
\nOnce the learner completes the course, the LMS has a record of completing the course. Certificates are important.\u00a0 We know that. What can digitally represent those pieces of paper?\u00a0 They are called open badges.\u00a0 They recognize the skills, knowledge and competencies that the learner has achieved.<\/p>\n

Badge has been issued, then\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

Data<\/strong>
\n7.\u00a0 Interacting with other health data systems<\/span>
\nWe now would like to tell other health systems that the health worker has received a badge for meeting certain competencies or other job-related tasks that they have done.\u00a0 It can be the national association or ministry, for example, who gives licensure for health workers.\u00a0 We want to inform them that the health worker has completed the training.<\/p>\n

The LMS will inform other health systems\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

8. Sending data: Health Interoperability Layer<\/span>
\nHow does that institution receive that information?\u00a0 Think of a badge now as data.\u00a0 Data can be transferred and exchanged from one system to another.\u00a0 Open HIE is the architecture which data is exchanged between health systems.\u00a0 Each system has to build a layer, the health interoperability layer, within in their own system that allows the system to then exchange data with other systems.<\/p>\n

The LMS has a layer built into the system to share and exchange data with other health systems and then…<\/em><\/p>\n

9.\u00a0 Receiving learning data<\/span>
\nEach country has a different system that registers health workers and\/or keeps track of in-service training and\/or provides licensure or certification.\u00a0 It may be the health worker registry or a ministry or a national association.\u00a0 If the Health Worker Registry, for example, had a field for education, it would be shared with the Health Worker Registry.\u00a0 Under education, the badge would indicate that health worker has the necessary competencies.<\/p>\n

The health worker has completed their learning, and it has been recorded at the national health system level.<\/em><\/p>\n
