My personal experience with this MOOC - 0 views

    My blog is about the organisation of Higher Education in the Netherlands. This series of posts is about my personal experience with #edcmooc (I like it so far!) and possible implications for the way the Dutch will be organizing higher education.

  • technology is shaped and takes meaning from how individuals and groups choose to use it
  • Which of these perspectives do you lean towards in your understanding of the relationship between technology and pedagogy? Can you point to instances in society or in your own context where this stance is necessary or useful?

  • technology could solve the three most pressing problems of education: access, quality and cost
  • in all parts of the world evolving technology is the main force that is changing society
  • a model technological determinist position,
  • what observations can you make about his utopian arguments about education? What currency do they continue to have in this field?
  • the orientation here is clearly dystopic
  • ‘administrators and commercial partners’ as being in favour of ‘teacherless’ digital education,
  • ‘teachers and students’ as being against it
  • these divisions have never been clear, and they certainly aren’t now.
  • Why does Noble say that technology is a ‘vehicle’ and a ‘disguise’ for the commercialization of higher education? How can we relate this early concern with commercialism to current debates about MOOCs, for example? And how are concerns about ‘automation’ and ‘redundant faculty’ still being played out today?
  • the consequences of digital education
  • What kind of determinist position do they take? To what extent are they utopic or dystopic visions of the future? Why have the ideas they represent been so readily taken up and distributed within all educational sectors?
  • metaphor of the native and the immigrant
  • Prensky warns ‘immigrant’ teachers that they face irrelevance unless they figure out how to adapt their methods and approaches to new generations of learners.

  • technological determinism,

Debate on MOOC's - 0 views

  •  
    1. Does not passing a rigorous exam matter in a MOOC, in terms of getting a job afterwards? Do MOOC's lack credibility in the eyes of employers, or is that just an old fashioned way of thinking? 2. If MOOC's work, and they are free to do, how are they going to be financially sustainable in the long term? 3. "Moocs are an excellent way to give everyone access to academic thought, rather than having them stuck with whatever their own institution chooses to provide, and as a way for academics to keep up to date themselves" What do you think?
