  • Just like a carpenter chooses the right tool for the job, our students should have the opportunity to choose the right technology for their needs.
  • three different classes and we clearly need three different devices for our students.
  • As I listened to the conversation this week it struck me how much we handcuff students and teachers when we tell them what technology they are required to use.

  • If we are truly designing a student-centric learning environment and putting the students in the position to make meaningful decisions about their education, how can we justify deciding which device they are required to learn on?

  • Privacy is dead, right? Facebook knows everything about you, and the world is still turning.
  • Making the case that information about you, your demographics, your behaviors and habits—all information you may think has little to no value—is valuable to the people looking for it is one important step in explaining why this is all important.
  • The fact is, your data is worth real, tangible money to the companies that offer you free services (in Facebook's case, you're worth just shy of $5 per year) and the companies they do business with, even if they're not asking you to open your wallet.P

  • what data is requested of them, how much of the requested information is required for the service they want to use, and how their data is eventually used. The survey notes that even young people are concerned about their privacy, the ones often written off as part of a generation that's willing to share everything online.
  • people are still quite concerned with their privacy. The baseline for privacy has simply changed.
  • Rainey says that even those who dismiss privacy concerns become concerned when confronted with the depth of information they've revealed, and when shown how that information is used once they give it up.
  • "They just want control over what information they give up,
  • what they agree to, and what information is made public versus kept private in the databases and annals of the companies and organizations that get to see it."

    "90% of information transmitted to the brain is visual The brain can process 36,000 visual cues in an hour The brain takes about 1/10th of a second to get the idea of a visual scene Almost 50% of your brain is involved in visual processing Black and white images garner your attention for about 2/3 of a second Color images garner your attention for 2+ seconds The average consumer's attention span is only about 8 seconds The brain processes visual cues 60,000 times faster than text 40% of nerve fibers are linked to the retina The use of visuals improves learning outcomes by about 400% DO-S AND DON'T-S FOR VISUAL USE DO Use visuals to help clarify complex ideas Use visuals that represent people, places, and things Use catchy visuals Use visuals that help viewers make connections and understand new information Use visuals that help viewers relate new information to what they already know DON'T Use poor quality visuals, like things that are pixelated, stretched weird, sized improperly, or don't fit in the space Use ugly visuals Use visuals that don't make a clear connection to the material presented Use irrelevant visuals, like a series of shapes that have no meaning Use copyrighted visuals without permission!"

  • But I think there are two important things that online universities bring to the table: (1) Broadening access to higher education, and (2) Leveraging technology to explore new approaches to learning.
  • For this reason I think that replacing live courses with videotaped lectures is not going far enough (and may in fact be detrimental).
  • Education should give everyone the opportunity to succeed, but the ultimate responsibility (and raw ability) comes down to the student.
