The community is the curriculum - 0 views

  • “In the rhizomatic model of learning, curriculum is not driven by predefined inputs from experts; it is constructed and negotiated in real time by the contributions of those engaged in the learning process. This community acts as the curriculum, spontaneously shaping, constructing, and reconstructing itself and the subject of its learning..”

    "We are trying to overcome the distance you feel in distance education by being socially connected," Snoddy said. "You develop socially as well as intellectually in college. This doesn' tmake sense. Do people not complete DE courses because they feel distant? More likely because most of the courses are complete crap and are offered by questionable faculty. It is more likely that the courses selected for special treatment in this article were a step above the usual crap that gets served up as DE and were presented with a little imagination and care.

Clark Aldrich's blog: Using assessments to evaluate action, not knowledge - 0 views

  • Now, in theory, doing a 360 assessment (asking the people around the student, both before the formal learning program and, oh, six months after, for evaluations of behavior) is a pretty good technique. But 360's are also intrusive.
  • The bad news is that, well, who cares if someone can intellectually differentiate between different leadership styles? That is so old school. Further, simpler programs may get the same result, even if the knowledge is never used, (and the knowledge gleaned from old school programs also decays much more quickly after the program ends).
  • Multiple-choice questionnaires are biased towards proving what one knows, as opposed to presenting what one does. But I believe with some hacking of the medium, we can create better evaluations to guide us towards more productive programs.
  •  
    We should evaluate actions, rather than 'knowledge' (where 'knowledge' here means 'remembered instances of data'). We should evaluate actions is that we are able to get at more finely-grained sub-symbolic mental development, and not simply a small set of memorized facts.
  •  
    Worth considering when thinking about assessment of authentic learning. We should evaluate actions, rather than 'knowledge' (where 'knowledge' here means 'remembered instances of data').

      Now that is a true test I'd say. The world outside of academia doesn't mark on the curve.
  • diluted her role as an expert, reducing her to just another figure with limited video skills. That also limited her ability to act as an authority figure, one that plays an essential role in keeping the discussion from degenerating into chaos.
    • glen gatin
       
      back to issues of authority and control. Interesting how many discussions about higher ed center on these two themes.
  •  
    fantastic experiment not sure if the title of the article is justified in the text. Biggest complaint seems to be loss of control and authority. hmmm "Students having their classroom ideas judged not simply by their peers but by a far wider audience" and that is a bad thing because...?
