This week we discussed how technology can help develop the learning process. Learning theory attempts to explain how people and animals learn. It is based on different frameworks like behaviorism, cognitivism, constructivism. There are also many different learning styles for different types of people and ages. Technology can help to develop this learning. Now there are sites that help to facilitate learning. Geotagging, concept maps and folksonomies are examples of these developments.
In accounting, we can use these concepts to share information and help learn new techniques. Some things like the concept maps aren’t necessarily as easily used for accounting, and may be more helpful in other fields. Some of the networking sites however are very helpful. It is great to be able to connect with other professionals and make new contacts. Sharing information is vital to success in the accounting world because there are many beginnings to a transition to an international set of standards.
Here is a video of a professor explaining folksonomies, flickr and tagging. It is a very creative way of explanation but provides a different perspective.
