  • valid point that too often technology decisions are made without factoring in true cost
  • a number of faculty in higher education, as well as teachers in K-12, who see technology as an evil.
  • In many ways, they want to wall off their classes from the outside world.

  • Technology in and of itself is not evil, and technology integrated into education is opening minds, not closing them.
  • When conducting a cost-benefit analysis, it’s only appropriate to spend as much time thinking through the benefits as it is thinking through the costs.”
  • Chickering and Gamson developed a seminal work on teaching and learning, their Seven Principles of Good Practice in Undergraduate Instruction
  • Good practice in undergraduate education: 1. Encourages contact between students and faculty 2. Develops reciprocity and cooperation among students. 3. Encourages active learning. 4. Gives prompt feedback. 5. Emphasizes time on task. 6. Communicates high expectations. 7. Respects diverse talents and ways of learning.
  • technology is a powerful tool that encourages contact between students and faculty, provides avenues for reciprocity and cooperation among students, creates new venues for active learning, enables more timely and prompt feedback, and gives new opportunities to keep students on task

  • job aids are used to "direct immediate performance...when the need to know arises," whereas instruction "usually happens before a need arises and builds the capacity of the individual"
  • ...16 more annotations...
  • job aids and performance support tools are not designed to help people learn
  • Self-instruction might be made more effective if learners can be persuaded to spend more time on learning tasks
  • this might be done is by embedding job aids or performance support tools in the instruction
  • monitoring and regulating devices were embedded
  • merely including hypertext links in a hypermedia self-instructional course did not by itself increase the time learners spent on the instruction
  • support tools enabled learners with field-dependent and field-independent learning styles to achieve equally well
  • Performance support tools that provide relevant information may help learners with internal locus of control learn the content better
  • embedded in the target course
  • likely to influence student satisfaction
  • performance support tools
  • additional and summative supporting material provides variability, which maintains the learner's interest
  • supporting material both summarizes information the learner is already familiar with
  • injects additional material that is relevant to the content of the course
  • connecting the material to the learner's experience in the course
  • Spending more time on task in a hypermedia program because of manadatory note-taking resulted in significantly higher achievement scores than those who were not required to spend time taking notes
  • embedding performance support tools in instruction that can later be used on the job is supported by the M.A.S.S. model of transfer

  • Most of these appear to be aimed at kids of middle or high school age.
  • just how bad are most of these so-called ‘educational games?
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • what is out there that’s comparable in the commercial downloadable/DVD educational games sector?
  • Yes. Most "educational" games suck. They are created to make drills and tedious practice more palatable
  • If the goal is to solve as many math problems as possible in as short a time as possible, whether there are aliens or puppies or whatever, it's just not as important.
  • Commercial games have engaging environments
  • there are goals that are appropriately difficult for players
  • Most current groups making educational games do not seem to have much background (or at least they do not put much thought into) game design.
  • a quote from Will Wright, creator of Sim City, The Sims, and Spore. "Why are we even talking about 'educational games' -- as if games weren't already educational"
  • Instead of looking to attach video games to our curriculum, we should be looking to attach our curriculum to video games.

  • By using materials that the learner will use after training, transfer of learning from the classroom to the "real world" will be enhanced.
  • functional context approach was developed specifically for adult technical and literacy training (reading/writing/mathematics) in military programs
  • Use material and equipment that the learner will actually use after training
