From:

“Exploring the Fringe: Flipping, Microcredentials, and MOOCs,” our latest white paper, is now available for general access.
The white paper defines these three fringe formats?dubbed “fringe” because our research shows that none has above a 10-percent adoption rate among associations?and then looks at when each might make sense for an association to pursue and factors to consider before jumping on the trendy bandwagon.
The white paper also includes the following:
  • Brief from-the-field stories of what associations are doing with these fringe formats
  • Excerpts from an interview with Curt Bonk, an authority on emerging technologies for learning
  • Thoughts on why associations have a leg-up in today’s competitive world of professional education and concrete ideas for using these formats, from Tamer Ali (his company Digital Ignite sponsored this white paper so we can make it available to you for free)
You can download the white paper now, nothing required?no money, no e-mail address. Enjoy.
To keep up with our research and resources and be notified when we release new ones, sign up for our newsletter. In fact, we’re hard at work on our next white paper, due out in June, on associations’ use of social technologies for learning.
And if you want that next white paper even faster, sign up for the companion Webinar on June 12, “Social Learning Trends and Successes,” as registrants will get access to the white paper before we open up general access.
