My website www.qtimelearning.com extends the ‘Circle of Learning for the 21st century’ concept beyond blogging. The corners support the quadrants of the COL in guiding the concepts to practical use. As pieces of the puzzle fall into place, you can see how COL can be taken beyond the concept to practical usability.
I did spend some time re-working the qtime.qtimelearning.com to conform to the QTIME quadrants. However, I talk more about ABCD corners than quadrants to give the perspective the quadrants cornerstones for higher learning in www.ajjampurs.com. I added ‘List books’ feature as part A-quadrant learning, ‘Show Quotes’ as part of C-quadrant learning. I have provided an updated services and products corner as part of D-quadrant learning. My B-quadrant learning is slow go as most of my material is on software testing and that will be very challenging for me to make it interesting.
