  • Arguments for Augmentation The researchers and educators in this small, emerging field see clear advantages to using real-world sites as the backdrop for educational games. A major goal of Mentira is to motivate students "to get their heads out of the textbook" by showing them that language has a vibrant local context, Ms. Sykes says. By setting the story in a nearby neighborhood, she and Mr. Holden took advantage of its historic sites and folklore to integrate learning about its history and culture into the game

      Mentria could also be a good model for foreign language teachers or instructors of culture courses.

Distance Education's Rate of Growth Doubles at Community College - Wired Campus - The C... - 0 views

  • Fred Lokken, associate dean for the Truckee Meadows Community College WebCollege and author of the technology-council report, said he thinks that one reason distance education has grown more quickly at community colleges than it has in general is because community colleges are more enthusiastic about it than universities are.
  • Most respondents cited the economic downturn as the main reason for growth in online enrollment, and other respondents said that the growth was typical or was a result of new enrollment efforts.  Community-college enrollment has increased in general with the downturn, and Mr. Lokken said that online courses are particularly appealing to people who are job hunting.
  • The survey also found that for administrators, the greatest challenge in distance learning was a lack of support staff needed for training and technical assistance. In regard to faculty, the administrators who responded to the survey said, workload issues were the biggest obstacle. For students, the institutions' greatest challenge was preparing them to take classes online.

  • When distance education first became common about 10 years ago, completion rates for online courses were about 50 percent, but survey findings indicate  that they are now up to 72 percent. For face-to-face learning, completion rates are only a little higher, at 76 percent.

Open Access to Research Is Inevitable, Libraries Are Told - Wired Campus - The Chronicl... - 0 views

shared by Barbara Lindsey on 21 Feb 10 - Cached
  • Bernard Schutz, director of the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics, in Potsdam, Germany, stressed how far the United States lags behind Europe and other parts of the world on the open-access frontier.
  • "I now believe that having public access to most scholarly communications is inevitable," said David Shulenburger, vice president for academic affairs at the Association of Public and Land-Grant Universities. "Faculty are coming to understand, finally, that this has to happen if they're going to have the most scholarly opportunities to get things done."
  • The "killer app" of open access, Mr. Schutz said, would be something that gave researchers the means to dig past metadata and do full-text searches. "I want really useful tools that understand context to retrieve text intelligently, hunt down key equations, ensure completeness of bibliographies, help assess the real impact of a scientist's work," he said.
