The end of assessment as we know it « Enzo Silva blog - 2 views

  • “The concept of a job is going away” (Bersin, 2012) and so should the concept of assessment. At least assessment as we know it. Or the assessment forms that we dearly esteem. The truth is, most educators teach to assess. Yes, the end goal of the learning experience is to prepare learners to succeed in the assessment. Does anyone else see something wrong with this picture?

Michael Geist - Access Copyright and AUCC Strike a Deal: What It Means for Innovation i... - 1 views

  •  
    "What is lost with this settlement is the chance for something better. The shift away from Access Copyright in recent months has led to a growing awareness of the large number of licensed materials on university campuses, the benefits of open access, the emergence of open educational resources, and the move to digital course materials. Investing in new open materials - which pay the creator but allow for more flexible use and reuse - would offer innovative teaching materials at the very time that Canadian higher education should be rethinking how course materials are developed and disseminated in a digital world. This is hard work as new models require real investment, commitment from faculty, and patience from students. The payoff would have been significant, but the AUCC is seemingly more interested in "cost certainty" than in education innovation. The big question now is whether its members feel the same. My guess is that most will sign, but perhaps some will carefully assess their experience of operating outside the collective and see some short term pain for long term gain. "

Waypoint Outcomes builds software that streamlines the interactions between learners and teachers.

Reinventing Education To Teach Creativity And Entrepreneurship | Co.Exist: World changi... - 0 views

  • Teaching’s primary purpose should be to ensure that every student graduates ready to tinker, create, and take initiative.
  • The art is in the relationships you build with kids, and the science is purposeful assessment that generates real evidence of student growth.
  • Accountability is a good thing, but only when you are measuring what matters.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • Our schools should be producing kids who tinker, make, experiment, collaborate, question, and embrace failure as an opportunity to learn. Our schools must be staffed with passionate teachers who are not just prepared to foster creativity, perseverance, and empathy, but are responsible for ensuring kids develop these skills.
  • What if quizzes measured kids’ ability to question, not answer?
  • But we’re shortchanging kids if we aren’t relentless about measuring outcomes in these new models. Teachers are the linchpins here

elearnspace › Duplication theory of educational value - 1 views

  • Let me posit a duplication theory of education value: if something can be duplicated with limited costs, it can’t serve as a value point for higher education. Content is easily duplicated and has no value. What is valuable, however, is that which can’t be duplicated without additional input costs: personal feedback and assessment, contextualized and personalized navigation through complex topics, encouragement, questioning by a faculty member to promote deeper thinking, and a context and infrastructure of learning.
  • The vast majority of universities that will educate humanity in the coming decades will be those that structure their value point on elements that cannot be easily duplicated and scaled, or at minimum, require input costs to do so
  • Most of the economic input costs of the university would (should) be directed to those areas that impact learners
