    "When Full Sail University of Winter Park, FL, launched its distance education program in 2007, the institution started looking for a quick and easy way to capture video and audio and then edit those components and prep them for online streaming. Already using lecture capture to handle audio files, the school turned to its existing vendor to explore other tools."

  • The lecture format is an institution at most universities and as money gets tight, it’s also is a favourite way for schools to spread thin resources. Despite its long history, University of Guelph business dean Julia Christensen Hughes argues the traditional lecture is not the best way to learn, pointing to decades of research.
  • What’s wrong with lectures?
  • When the lecture model began, the Internet didn’t exist or even the printing press. It was an oral tradition for transferring knowledge. Now information is ubiquitous. If you are curious about something you just Google it.

  • So are you calling for the death of the lecture?
  • Not at all.
  • A lecture done well can be motivating or energizing if the faculty member is communicating their passion.
  • What are common problems?
  • We try to stuff too much in a lecture.
  • If it doesn’t work, why are universities and professors so fond of the format?
  • it is important to recognize this challenge has been going on for more than 100 years.
  • What’s the answer?
  • You have to look at the education of faculty.
  • they haven’t been taught anything about how people learn.
  • Is it realistic to expect change when universities are scrambling to balance budgets?
  • Given the cost of university, the expectations of students and their families are shifting, as well. They want to know there is a rich learning environment.

A 'Stealth Assessment' Turns to Video Games to Measure Thinking Skills - Technology - T... - 0 views

  • Colleges no longer simply want to know what their students know, but how they think.
  • Higher-order thinking skills are "something that schools are paying a little bit more attention to these days," says Jeffrey Steedle, a measurement scientist at the Council for Aid to Education, whose Collegiate Learning Assessment essays are used at several hundred colleges to test students' abilities to synthesize arguments and write persuasively. "It's largely in response to the recognition that these skills are needed to be competitive in the global marketplace."
  • But educators also say that paper-and-pencil examinations have limits—for one thing, knowing that you are being tested can drag down performance—and they are looking for new methods to measure skills like critical thinking, creativity, and persistence.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • Valerie J. Shute, an associate professor of educational psychology and learning systems at Florida State University, believes she has a solution in "stealth assessment"—the administering of tests without students' knowing.
  • To do that, Ms. Shute and other stealth-assessment researchers have turned to video games, which let educators watch students solve complex tasks while immersed in virtual worlds.
  • "Everybody likes to play," she says. "And so much could be done using games."
