  • "Yes." Part of the cost for textbook publishers is trying to deal with at least 50 sets of standards, and that isn't efficient for anyone.

      So, if they only have to produce to one national standard, the cost of textbooks should drop dramatically. Let's see..... I have my doubts.

  • Office of Educational Technology Still Up in the Air The topic of a new director for the Office of Educational Technology provided the least amount of discussion. Shelton refused comment on who that person might be, when a name might be released, or even where the position would be placed in the organization. Beginning with the first Director, Linda Roberts under Secretary Richard Riley in the Clinton administration and continuing through John Bailey, Susan Patrick, and Tim Magner under President Bush, this position has always reported directly to the secretary. Rumor in Washington is that the position will report to the assistant deputy secretary for innovation and improvement, Shelton, and not the secretary.

  • Asistí ayer por la tarde en Granollers a la ponencia inaugural de la Catosfera 2009, con Enrique Dans.
  • -Pasión y autoridad son necesarias para bloguear.
  • Añadiría que la gente, más formada, con más sentido crítico, capaz cada vez más de “configurar” espacios de información personalizados, confía cada vez menos en todo lo que suene a institución
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • -La gente no confía en los blogs corporativos.
  • Si antes los medios de producción y distribución de la información eran caros e inaccesibles a la mayoría, con internet, los límites desaparecen.
  • -Los periódicos están dejando de tener sentido y no sólo por el formato:
  • No es fácil controlar a los blogueros individuales, independientes incluso en lo económico.
  • Sobre cuestiones de privacidad, estoy de acuerdo con él: Las futuras generaciones no están tan preocupadas por el tema.
  • Añadiría que la publicidad contextual podría mejorar bastante con la evolución de la web semántica, como escribía aquí hace unos días.
  • Se hace urgente adaptar los sistemas educativos a las nuevas formas de acceso y evolución del conocimiento.

  • As I faithfully attended the monthly training meetings for Just in Time Technology (ex: how to use Skype) and for Course Design (ex: what is the conversion of 14 weeks pacing into a 30 day class), it began to dawn on me that I had underestimated the time and preparation required for my online course.
  • Reducing the amount of content does not mean reducing rigor for students or work for me. Like many others who have never taught online, I had entered this experience thinking that online courses were a little bit “fluffy.” I have a newfound respect for my fellow online professors.
  • Although I am a relative novice in the teaching arena, I appreciated the chance to revive my teaching mojo. I was forced to be creative about how to present course material and ensure that my students had a solid understanding of the information. I also realized I needed to revise my opinion of online teaching and those who participate in it. I now know that online courses are not a pale and lifeless version of traditional courses or worse, a “pay for an A” scam in which everyone teaches him/herself and everyone gets a good grade. Online courses can be distinctive and worthwhile ways of teaching in their own right. Amy Overman is assistant professor of psychology at Elon University.

    Reviewed by Nancy Chapko: n her article, Lessons of a Summer Teaching Online, Dr. Amy Overman describes how she revived her "teaching mojo" as a novice online instructor. An assistant professor of psychology at Elon University in North Carolina, Dr. Overman describes her personal experience as a first-time online instructor. Written for instructors who may have doubts about online teaching and learning as she did, her account is both thoughtful and humorous. Dr. Overman describes her decision to teach an online class and her preparation for the experience. She relates her somewhat unexpected positive experience facilitating the class. She offers comparisons between her face-to-face and online teaching experiences and draws some insightful conclusions. Among them is the realization that reducing the amount of content does not reduce the rigor of the course and online classes take a lot of time, but they're worth it. Whether you're a committed veteran of online teaching, or you are at the initial stage of considering its merits, you will find Dr. Overman's article perceptive and thought-provoking. As she states, "… online courses are not a pale and lifeless version of traditional courses."

    Islam elevates the acquisition of new knowledge. Modern science was first developed in the Muslim world, all the wealth of knowledge in the world has actually emanated from Muslim civilization, and what people call "the scientific method", is actually "the Islamic method. Muslims started the concept of learning and established islamic schools where children could learn.

    Online education can be a strange concept to those who are used to viewing learning as a process that involves students sitting in a classroom with a lecturer in front of them. Yet, there is great promise in online programs. In addition, the opportunity to take classes from home at the student's convenience is a great incentive for full-time workers and those with other pressing responsibilities to go back to school. But for those who are not ready to go fully digital with their education, there is a way to get the best of both worlds with a blended education.
