Interesting Learning 2.0 Pattern

Found via Brent - 23 Microlearning exercises (23 Things). It has 23 Tasks over a 9 week period that helped them get you up to speed on what Web 2.0 is all about. It's a great list and the nice thing is that they offerred a free iPod as a reward for getting it all done. What a great idea.

It's a bit similar to what I had done in a learning experience that was a six week online course - see Collaborative Learning Using Web 2.0 Tools - A Summary.

Lots of interesting aspects: using blogger to direct people in the course - each lesson is a blog entry - and participants used blogs to communicate as well. Result:

In total 222 staff members completed the discovery learning quest and the
program has been picked up by libraries both nationally and world wide.

I also somehow ran across Matt's Learning 2.0 Blog where he's going through steps very similar to 23 Things. There's something really nice about this pattern!
