Why Curation Will Transform Education and Learning: 10 Key Reasons - 6 views

  • the adoption of "curation approaches" will directly affect the way competences are taught, how textbooks are put together, how students are going to learn about a subject, and more than anything, the value that can be generated for "others" through a personal learning path.
  • The goal is to learn how to learn, to know where to look for something and to be able to identify which parts of all the information available are most relevant to learn or achieve a certain goal or objective.
  • Content curation embodies these research, investigative and sense-making traits.

  • find, identify, monitor and update which are the most relevant "information sources", hubs or curators in every possible area of interest. Search engines and traditional media do not presently provide this information
  • Some of these would certainly include online searching, research, critical thinking, comparative analysis, evaluation and verification of alternative sources, classification and labeling, questioning, summarizing and synthesis skills (among others)
  • In other words, researchers, educators and guides prefer to refer to trusted "curators" of specific information areas rather than to rely on Google-style secret and commercially-driven algorithms.

Volatile and Decentralized: Making universities obsolete - 0 views

  • 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.

What You (Really) Need to Know - Harvard - Belfer Center for Science and International ... - 0 views

  • Yet undergraduate education changes remarkably little over time.
  • Education will be more about how to process and use information and less about imparting it.
  • An inevitable consequence of the knowledge explosion is that tasks will be carried out with far more collaboration.

  • New technologies will profoundly alter the way knowledge is conveyed.
  • As articulated by the Nobel Prize-winner Daniel Kahneman in “Thinking, Fast and Slow,” we understand the processes of human thought much better than we once did.
  • And yet in the face of all evidence, we rely almost entirely on passive learning.
  • This makes it essential that the educational experience breed cosmopolitanism — that students have international experiences, and classes in the social sciences draw on examples from around the world.
  • Courses of study will place much more emphasis on the analysis of data
  • A good rule of thumb for many things in life holds that things take longer to happen than you think they will, and then happen faster than you thought they could.
  • Here is a bet and a hope that the next quarter century will see more change in higher education than the last three combined.

University? There's an app for that - Technology - Macleans.ca - 0 views

  • Even more surprising: while the course content could be viewed on a computer screen or tablet, it would be designed, first and foremost, for smartphones—making the “classroom” entirely mobile and available anytime, anywhere.
  • And the target audience is just as compelling: developing countries, where there are millions of individuals who want an education but can’t afford it or access it locally—and where smartphones are common.
  • The first users will be in China, where demand for North American education is high—850,000 students come here annually to learn.

  • Let's be clear: Technology is never going to replace teachers. What technology can do is give teachers closer, more human and more rewarding interactions with their students.
