  • Colleges are filled with students who could give a damn about learning but desperately need that credential.
  • Then it's all about the badges. My kids can just give up on ever having a single moment of joy in their lives. Even if they were going to enjoy something, how can they when they've already committed to this transactional experience instead?
  • The commodification of learning was already quite clear in the Reagan era when we stopped thinking of higher education as a social good and instead defined it as an individual's investment in his/her human capital.

  • Anyone can open their own diploma mill, err I mean badge-selling operation? Of course not. Badges would have to be accredited by someone.
  • If you want to get a badge though, that's going to cost.
  • I think the presence of a badge could actually be a detriment to an otherwise genuine learning experience.
  • ]The whole point of education organisations adopting elearning is to cut costs. They are not doing it to improve education standards. They say it's to educate more. But we know this is a smoke screen. Bean-counters run universities and colleges just like they run commercial companies.For example, The Briish Council is planning to move into distance learning big time. 10,000s of new students. Their reasons (am I #cynic) won't be to improve educational outcomes (mostly English language teaching) but to get more qualifed teachers for for their bucks.

    Thank you for compiling this info and posting for us all. I believe this is an interesting way to engage the learner and increase their extrinsic motivation to learn. I don't see elearning as a way to cut costs but rather a way to expand the reach of learning. Learning on line is different from face to fact and therefore it's possible that this commodification of learning is necessary as a result of these changing times.

What the Connections Acquisition Means | Getting Smart - 2 views

  • For Pearson, this transaction signals a more rapid move into school management that was anticipated.  Historically, the line between supporting and operating schools has been one they did not want to cross given the special venom for private enterprise when it takes outcome responsibility.  I suspect when they considered accelerating rate (see my forecast) of adoption of learning online, it made the decision easy.
  • One consistent message here at Getting Smart is that the shift to personal digital learning is happening faster than most observers suggest–we’re riding an exponential curve not a straight line.  Pearson gets that and has been very thoughtful about managing the Innovator’s Dilemma.

  • One important aspect of such a context is that often non-Western, and thus non-English speaking cultures do not have as much or the same experience with Distance Learning and Autonomous Learning. A MOOC structure seems to assume a certain level of familiarity with both, so this is one reason why more activity and guidance are a must in an LMOOC.

      This is an important point that also should be emphasized more in the current Change11 MOOC, and also in the future with any other MOOCs if other kinds of students are going to participate.  In talking about education in other parts of the world, such as we have already hearing Zoraini Wati-Abas speak, we have to first understand the difference in structure or approach in that country.  OUM and the SMS strategy are more interesting when placed in the context of a country that has never seen such widespread distance learning before.  From my time spent in China, I think distance education would work well and be very appealing for many young people, but it may not be adopted for its inherent openness and difficulty to control.

  • The survey was carried out in more than 40 OUM learning centers throughout the nation with close to 3,000 respondents
  • it was found that 82.8 percent of the respondents said they would be ready for m-learning. Based on the survey, it may be generalized that 99 percent of OUM learners have mobile phones.
  • About 2,000 students enrolled in the May semester received a total of about 30 SMSes over a period of about 14 weeks. The responses from students were positive.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • Generally, the m-learning project made them more engaged with the content and activities of the course
  • the SMSes helped them focus on the course, reminded them of important things
  • In addition, some of the SMSes helped them stay motivated,
  • When we "teach" students in class in order to help them learn, we don't just help them understand the content of the lesson. We also provide tips, motivate them to do activities that will help move them along in the course, get them to participate in discussions and manage their learning/the course. It was the same with the SMSes. We believe, the will get enough content from the print module provided and from the face-to-face interactions with their tutors. So yes, m-learning was used to help "teach" as well as "manage" the student.

  • The mobile phone is now a ubiquitous item even among the world’s poorest, and in fact over 70% of the mobile phones on the planet are in developing countries.
  • The 98-page toolkit contains 15 mobile learning methods divided into 4 categories that trainers can choose from depending on their needs –
  • In addition to the methods, an overview of mobile learning is included in the beginning of the guidebook and a set of practical tools that allow the methods to be immediately put into practice.
