Will the Real Digital Native Please Stand Up? -- Campus Technology - 2 views

  •  
    I have personally experienced this in the college level computer class I teach. Even those students that think they know computers and are an expert, don't know how to use the computer in a work environment to solve problems and critically assess ideas. They google something and only look at 1 source and even cite that course

Comment le Royaume-Uni risque de perdre davantage en ayant triplé les frais u... - 1 views

  • Mais le taux d’impayés est récemment grimpé à 45 % au lieu des 28% à 30% prévus lorsque la réforme a été adoptée
    • Emmanuel Zilberberg
       
      Les opportunités gagnées par le gouvernement étaient claires. L'internalisation d'un coût supplémentaire par les étudiants représentaient des coûts évités en se transformant en actifs financiers sous forme de prêts à très long termes accordés aux étudiants. Le risque est que ces prêts ne soient pas remboursés et qu'ils faillent transformer une partie de ces créances (45%) en charges (pertes sur créances irrécouvrables).
  • Le gouvernement a, dans le même temps, réduit de 40 % ses subventions à ces établissements et promis aux étudiants des prêts à taux avantageux, d’une durée maximale de trente ans, garantis par l’Etat
    • Emmanuel Zilberberg
       
      L'abondement des prêts par le gouvernment britannique est la contrepartie de la diminution des subventions aux établissements créant ainsi des besoins de financement qui seront financés par les frais de scolarité augmentés.
  • apprend que le service d’Etat chargé de recouvrer lesdits paiements est assez peu outillé et efficace
    • Emmanuel Zilberberg
       
      Une partie des coûts de financement de l'éducation évité est compensé par l'accroissement des coûts de recouvrement de ces prêts.

  • Un effet pourtant bien prévisible et néfaste de la forte augmentation des frais d’inscription est la baisse, en 2012-2013, du nombre d’étudiants : -5,5 %, soit 27 000 nouveaux étudiants de moins qu’en 2011-2012
    • Emmanuel Zilberberg
       
      De manière assez prévisible, la hausse des prix de l'éducation fait diminuer la demande. Quelle est dans ces conditions l'évolution de la marge contributive réalisée par les universités qui doivent couvrir des coûts fixes élevés.
  • de « full cost », qui consiste à faire payer aux étudiants le coût réel de leur enseignement
    • Emmanuel Zilberberg
       
      Il me semble que puisque le gouvernement britannique subventionne encore, bien que dans une proportion moindre, les universités, on ne peut prétendre qu'il s'agit d'une "expérimentation grandeur nature du concept de full cost"

      The teacher acknowledges that failure is part of the learning process but also demonstrates the importance of having trust in the student after specifically stating his expectations.  Stating expectations and following it up with trust is important for fostering a Student-Centered learning environment.  Too few educators are willing to let go of control and allow students to become empowered by their own curiosity.

      "Worth it" suggests that the values in question are only those of money and calculation. Is that the best way to measure what college can offer?
  • Yes, college is worth it, and it’s not even close. For all the struggles that many young college graduates face, a four-year degree has probably never been more valuable.
