How Do People Learn?
New competitive models and a step-change in the capability and potential of learning technology are creating opportunities and imperatives for improving the effectiveness of learning delivery. There is a shift in focus to the individual learner. To assist human resource professionals manage this transition, this report reviews what is currently known about learning. Findings include: - the major theoretical stances on learning are structured within four 'clusters' that describe what is common in human learning; - learning is deeply affected by the context in which it occurs; - e-learning has defined a new paradigm for learning: a way of working, studying and problem-solving that reflects the growing connectivity of people and learning resources. This research report is intended to raise the level of debate - demystifying a complex topic - and to provide a better platform for considered action in the organisation.

Invisible
Olivia’s best friend is not imaginary. He’s not a ghost, either. And she’s pretty sure he’s not a hallucination. He’s just Mason. He is, however, invisible. When five-year-old Olivia spotted the crying little boy on her front porch, she had no idea she was the only one who could see him. Twelve years later, when new-girl Robin casually introduces herself to Mason in the high school parking lot, they are both stunned. While Mason is thrilled to be seen, suspicion and jealousy make Olivia balk at welcoming Robin into their circle. Fear that Robin’s intentions aren’t what they appear to be seem to be validated when a strange black car shows up outside Olivia’s house. Olivia is determined to prove Robin can’t be trusted, but can she find the answers in time to protect Mason from whatever secret threats are looming? Invisibility can only hide Mason for so long…
The Computer as Medium
Many industrial training applications, educational applications, and of course information applications such as databases and hypermedia are all attempts to communicate, and yet we really don't know much about the computer as a communicative medium. Bringing together a collection of essays presenting such diverse theoretical approaches as general semiotics, linguistics, communication theory, literary and art criticism, sociology, and history, the editors set out to establish and elaborate the role of computer systems as a sign technology. The volume is divided into three main parts, each focused on a different field of semiotic inquiry. "Computer-Based Signs" discusses the special nature of ...
Alpha’s Guardian
This is book 1 of Alpha’s Guardian. One last assignment then I can finally find my mate. I have no idea why this alpha is so important but the committee has granted him the best security in existence, me. I’m not your average wolf, in fact, my kind are often beaten and belittled, but by some divine intervention, I had been raised from a lowly omega pup to the ultimate weapon and protection for the werewolf world. I protect the future, the strongest and only the most important of the wolves. I am the Alpha’s Guardian. Of course, on the day I am to receive a Guardian, the rogues find a hole in our defenses. We have been spread thin and even though Guardians are reserved for the highest of Alphas I am being bequeathed one. What would normally be an honor feels like a slap in the face when she shows up, this woman who claims she was sent to protect me. Female warriors are heard of sure, but a female guardian? This must be a joke and I refuse to be laughed at.

Robots may one day rule the world, but what is a robot-ruled Earth like? Many think that the first truly smart robots will be brain emulations or "ems." Robin Hanson draws on decades of expertise in economics, physics, and computer science to paint a detailed picture of this next great era in human (and machine) evolution - the age of em.
