Why Is Measuring Learning So Difficult? A Video Conversation - EdTech Researcher - Educ... - 1 views

  •  
    "Here is a new video from EDUCAUSE with four experts and me addressing the question, "Why is measuring learning difficult?" Some good reflections on learning analytics, data, MOOCs, testing, pyschometrics, and more. I think the video has a nice balance of humility and optimism. Learning is much more complex than we can ever really pin down, but that doesn't mean that we can conduct meaningful assessments that lets students and mentors identify their learning experiences as, as Gardner Campbell says, find new doorways forward. "

      Yes!  This is exactly what we are thinking!
  • school officials will strive for a philosophical, functional, and physical merger of the school library with the IT program, with a faculty center and spaces for staff development, as well as spaces where teachers can work with (and learn from) students, school librarians, and IT staff; and
  • beyond the library walls
  • viewed primarily as a cost, rather than as an investment,
  • trying to create a good program by simply redesigning space without paying attention to staffing.
  • Teaching people to effectively find and use information to meet their needs.”
  • the 21st century school library must look beyond tradition to the future, to what is needed to help fulfill the educational mission, goals, and objectives of the school.
  • he library will be a sacred space dedicated to honoring those who use the library to meet whatever informational, educational, socialization and personal needs they might have.
  • broadest mission

  • libraries and librarians are needed now more than ever
  • a mix of print and non-print materials
  • consider providing more space for instructional purposes.
  • As much as possible we should be designing flexible spaces so that space required today for book storage can easily be converted for other purposes in the future.
  • he emphasis must be on the quality of the collection, not the quantity.

      Is this still true?
  • quiet reflection will remain a need of humans for a very long time.

      Hence our 'requirement' that both teachers and students work on their portfolios at the end of a unit after using the MALT Center.
  • The glut of information that keeps expanding overwhelms most people, and libraries and librarians are needed to help guide and teach students and teachers to cope.
