    Factores de éxito en aprendizaje online (revisión de la literatura). comentarios de Dolors Reig. La autonomía es un factor fundamental: Autonomous, self-regulated learners committ to controlling their own learning experiences Las titulaciones parecen predecir el éxito: Graduate vs. Undergraduate Motivations: Differences have been noted between undergraduate and graduate distance learners and their motivations. Parece que la edad no es lo importante: Age as a Factor in Online Learners' Success: The literature supports the idea that because adult learners are not as technologically savvy and have more responsibilities toward work and family, online learning is more difficult for them (Dubois, 1996). However, Ke and Xie's (2009) study showed that regardless of an adult learner's age, students self-reported the same amount of effort put into learning tasks and reported comparable levels of satisfaction. Características en un buen modelo: Design Model Characteristics and the Impact on Performance and Learner Satisfaction * connect new knowledge to prior learning: conectar nuevo conocimiento con anterior (recordemos el conectivismo) * maintain collaboration and social interaction between students: mantener la colaboración, la interacción social * promote a self-reflective environment: promover un entorno de reflexión. * include current or immediate applications: Incluir ejemplos prácticos (Learning by doing, añado) * advance self-regulated learning: avanzar mecanismos de auto-aprendizaje: la idea de los PLE-PLN responde a ello.

  • Educators are increasingly seeing the value of having students collaborate in small groups on classroom projects—and whether such projects involve producing a written or multimedia presentation, solving a math problem, or creating a video, technology can facilitate the group process.
  • Some educators believe students gain a deeper understanding when they participate in group projects.
  • "When a teacher lectures to them, they forget; when you have kids help design something, they will remember for a lifetime
  • ...37 more annotations...
  • students "gain ownership of their learning" when they are asked to solve a problem collaboratively
  • were designed specifically to support collaborative learning.
  • tablets
  • Groups of older students often collaborate on a wiki, journal, or blog using laptops connected to the same document through Google Apps, he says.
  • To help teachers become more comfortable with collaborative learning, all teacher professional development in Jefferson County takes place online, and teachers take part in online collaborative work groups.

  • using mini-projectors
  • to promote collaborative learning
  • The idea is to have four or five students, already equipped with netbooks, collaborating on an assignment, with all of them able to view projected images
  • the projector will be useful for teacher collaboration,
  • Plano’s curriculum stresses multitasking in classrooms, which means some students might be working in groups, while others are working individually or listening to the teacher. "To get the most personalized learning," Hirsch said, "everyone shouldn’t be working on the same thing at the same time." He believes mini-projectors could be a "key component of multitasking in the classroom."
  • ultraportable projectors "have the potential of making a real impact" on teaching 21st-century skills, particularly collaboration.
  • In a traditional classroom arrangement—with the teacher lecturing at the front of the class—"the group becomes homogenized,
  • ignoring the passive,
  • and the more advanced students
  • The teacher might ask two to four students to come to the front of the room to solve a problem, but the rest are "educational voyeurs,
  • But when groups of students collaborate together on a project simultaneously, in different parts of the room, "the level of interactivity goes up exponentially,"
  • on a classroom wall without having to disrupt the rest of the class
  • when their work is displayed on a projector and the whole group can see it easily, he says, "they are truly working as a group."
  • each group have a student identified as a facilitator, recorder, and possibly, reflector, with those positions changing from project to project. After a group completes its work, the students can use the projector to share what they’ve learned with the whole class.
  • "It’s harder for a student to be silent; there is more pressure to participate."
  • Collaborative projects not only help teach content, but also can help students develop 21st-century skills such as communication, time management, teamwork, and facilitation
  • With this approach, "the teacher is seen less like an evaluator and more as a coach, facilitator, and mentor. Teachers today need to know how to mix and match those different roles to maximize learning."
  • Communication and collaboration are among the key skills necessary for succeeding in school and life, as identified by the Partnership for 21st Century Skills, along with such skills as critical thinking, creativity, problem solving, flexibility, and media literacy.
  • The partnership defines collaboration as the ability to work effectively and respectfully with diverse teams, the willingness to compromise to accomplish a common goal, and the ability to share responsibility for collaborative work and to value the individual contributions made by each team member.

  • Students’ critical thinking skills improve

  • It provides weaker students with extensive one-on-one tutoring, while stronger students gain the deeper understanding that comes only from teaching others.
  • Students are less likely to consider teachers the sole sources of knowledge and understanding.
  • ’s essential "to know how to collaborate across a digital learning environment," as well as face to face,

  • “Las brechas del conocimiento”
  • los esfuerzos realizados en el campo de las ciencias sociales, al tender a concentrarse demasiado en los países industrializados de cultura anglosajona, no dan todos los resultados que cabría esperar. De esta manera, se está desperdiciando la oportunidad de explorar perspectivas y paradigmas arraigados en otras culturas y lenguas”
  • El Informe destaca que las ciencias sociales son más necesarias que nunca para tratar con eficacia los problemas más graves con que tropieza la humanidad
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • El Informe tiene un triple aspecto: descriptivo, con una presentación de hechos y estadísticas sobre la producción de las ciencias sociales y su difusión en el mundo; orientado a la solución de problemas, con un examen de la aplicación de las ciencias sociales a la problemática de la sociedad contemporánea; y reflexivo, con ensayos en los que se discurre sobre perspectivas generales y temas de interés regional.
  • Los 10 capítulos del Informe abarcan, entre otros, los temas siguientes: ciencias sociales y cambios mundiales; panorama de las ciencias sociales en las distintas regiones del mundo; capacidades en materia de investigación y fuga de cerebros; internacionalización; competición en la sociedad del conocimiento; y elaboración de políticas.

  • For example
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • So how does your brain decide how to interpret these conflicting inputs?
  • The study shows that the brain does not have to first "decide" which sensory cue is more reliable.
  • The study demonstrates that the low-level computations performed by single neurons in the brain, when repeated by millions of neurons performing similar computations, accounts for the brain's complex ability to know which sensory signals to weight as more important
  • "Thus, the brain essentially can break down a seemingly high-level behavioral task into a set of much simpler operations performed simultaneously by many neurons,
