The life-long role of libraries - Stephen's Lighthouse - 14 views

  •  
    "This graphic, http://www.minitex.umn.edu/Communications/Director/ shows the journey of a student from pre-kindergarten through the K-12 educational system and either into the workforce or on to a higher education institution. Along the way, school, academic, and public libraries are all available to provide services to the student and parents in support of learning and information literacy. This graphic was developed after attendance at various P-20 meetings where it seemed important to show that libraries play an important role throughout the life of students and adults. Minnesota libraries collaborate in sharing services and resources. Once in the workforce, information continues to be available through the public library for lifelong learning and recreation activities.

News: The Obama Plan - Inside Higher Ed - 0 views

  • Experts on distance education at community colleges said that the president's proposals on creating free online courses could be historic and transformative.
  • "And this will make it possible for a professor to complement his lecture with an online exercise, or for a student who can't be away from her family to still keep up with her coursework. We don't know where this kind of experiment will lead, but that's exactly why we ought to try it because I think there's a possibility that online education can provide especially for people who are already in the workforce and want to retrain the chance to upgrade their skills without having to quit their job."
  • He said that the college has expanded courses offered online, and in the early morning, or nights or weekends, but that "the bottom line is that we have to build capacity."

  • Of late, educators and foundations have been focusing more on graduation rates, with the City University of New York starting programs and planning a new model of community college to focus on getting students degrees, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the Lumina Foundation for Education spending big on efforts to improve remedial education and graduation rates.
  • Advocates for online learning also viewed Obama's plans as significant. Fred Lokken, associate dean of Truckee Meadows Community College for its WebCollege, said this was "the very first comprehensive effort by the federal government that recognizes the importance of online learning."
  • Catherine M. Casserly, who studies technology issues at the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, said she saw the program leading to "a dual approach," in which students could view the new material or community colleges would get well-prepared material around which local instructors could plan instruction
  • "It's very hard to supplement something if the base is being undermined," he said. "We can't look at this as a panacea."
  • Indeed, late Tuesday, that's exactly what Democrats in the House proposed doing, when they announced plans to move ahead soon on Obama's student loan restructuring proposal, which paves the way for paying for the community college plan.
  •  
    $500 million would be awarded to create online instructional materials that would be available free to community colleges and their students. \n\n"And this will make it possible for a professor to complement his lecture with an online exercise, or for a student who can't be away from her family to still keep up with her coursework.

Shaping the Curriculum - Exploring Integration - The Learner's Way - 0 views

  •  
    After two days of talking about curriculum, integration, STEM, STEAM and HASS I am left with more questions than I started with. In some respects, the concept of curriculum integration is simple. It is after all something that Primary teachers almost take for granted. But for Senior and Tertiary educators the question of curriculum integration is inherently complex. At all levels questions emerge of what curriculum integration might achieve, what purposes it serves, what it could and should look like and how it should be supported by curriculum planners. In the current climate, with its debate around the role of education within an innovation economy, shaped by technology and confronting demands for a STEAM enabled workforce the shape of our curriculum is under pressure.

Helping students to become problem finders - The Learner's Way - 0 views

  •  
    For students engaging in creative personalised learning projects such as a 'Genius Hour' or 'Personal Passion project it can often be difficult for them to uncover the right project. Students have become so reliant upon their teachers to pose them problems that when they are given the option to explore one of their own design they don't know where to start. This is indeed a significant challenge as we know that our students will enter a workforce and world of learning beyond school where they must be active problem finders. How then might we provide the support they require without removing the opportunity for truly personalised exploration.

Local Wisdom versus Global Assessments - The Learner's Way - 0 views

  •  
    A significant shift continues to occur within global education markets. It is signified by the manner in which it makes sense to speak of a global education market. It is driven by neo-liberalism and the expansion of markets into all aspects of our lives and it is made possible by manipulation of the third messaging system within the educational triad of curriculum, pedagogy and assessment. It is a drive towards accountable, comparable and productive education systems fine-tuned to maximise the return on investment and provide industry with the workforce it desires. What must be asked is how does this trend impact students and are these the forces that should be driving change in our education systems?

How to measure the impact of your Learning and Development program? - 0 views

  •  
    Organizational competitiveness depends on learning agility of modern workforces. As technology adoption rate is increasing, businesses require new skill sets to cut through the intense competition. L&D initiatives employed to up-skill or re-skill employees measure the quality of the efforts but often miss out on the value they add to the business results.

    • Leon Cych
       
      Perhaps could do with a bit more explanation. Is this a specifc term in this context. I'd see it as something else in learning...
  • In some organizations
    • Leon Cych
       
      What about more distributed less country centric models of employment and I don't mean call centres i.e. web 2.0 new startups that employ people globally? Like Seesmic , for instance - any figures/ evidence on those?
  • context aware
    • Leon Cych
       
      Are we talking about the Semantic web or Web 3.0 here? I'm not sure this is specific enough...
  • dispersed
    • Leon Cych
       
      Dospersed or distributed?
  • ICT was most frequently used for learning in those enterprises with flatter hierarchies and more devolved decision talking responsibilities and in which employees had greater autonomy in the organisation of their own work. Interestingly, these enterprises also tended to have a more experienced workforce and low turnover of employees
    • Leon Cych
       
      Now that is very interesting
  • either face to face in the workplace or on-line
    • Leon Cych
       
      But perhaps down the pub :)
  • he study showed learning was more likely to take place in organisations with less hierarchical structures and where workers had more responsibility for their own work.
    • Leon Cych
       
      Again really interesting
  • is becoming part of a formal employment requirement
    • Leon Cych
       
      But interestingly at a recent consultation I went to involving the TDA and the new Masters in Teaching and Learning there was no evidence of awareness of the role of use of technology to aid reflectivity...

      unless it continues to be locked out in schools
  • accidental
    • Leon Cych
       
      serendipitous - accident sounds like they fell over it which they possibly did :)
  • video conferencing
    • Leon Cych
       
      Maybe this might be renamed after Google's introduction of video into email? More ubiquitous than ever before for those who sign up to a gmail account and have some form of webcam built in.
  • unproblematic
    • Leon Cych
       
      What about the phenomenon of teachers working together informally to use these devices whilst teaching amongst each other globally - any reserch been done on that?
  • stimulating and rewarding

      Providing there is a flat enough environment for this to happen...perhaps
  • learning to the state
    • Leon Cych
       
      But what about the trend where there is a cultural conflict by distance - and workers have to be schooled in cultural norms of the country they are servicing to get it right otherwise consumers in host countries reject this.
  • by an
  • system,
  • ambiguous and often hostile
    • Leon Cych
       
      Might be worth exploring this more - why - what are the causes of the hostility or is it merely dependency on outmoded systems rather than hostility - a reluctance to engage with cultural change due to being institutionalised - dunno...

    • Leon Cych
       
      So what defines and binds these new communities?
