Are Universities Going the Way of Record Labels? - Martin Smith - The Atlantic - 2 views

  • This last decade of the music industry presages the coming decade of education. Choice is expanding at every level, from pre-k to graduate school. The individual course, rather than the degree, is becoming the unit of content. And universities, the record labels of education, are facing increased pressure to unbundle their services. So what will the future of education look like?
  • The price of content will freefall over the next seven years.
  • Education will be personalized.
    • anonymous
       
      This substantiates my prediction that learners will be "knowmads" roaming the content landscape and collecting what they want and need.

  • The supply of learning content will swell.
  • With learning content available on demand, students will increasingly be able to build degree programs from a wide variety of institutions offering particular courses.
  • Students are the big winners here.
  • Existing institutions with large endowments will become the record labels: platforms that invest in great talent.
  • And distribution platforms that curate content will do well, commanding both economies of scale and scope.
  • In education, a cohort of new entrepreneurs and existing institutions will greatly increase personal choice for all of us.

5 Tips for Maximizing Your Learning Content Investment - 0 views

  •  
    Stuck in inflexible pages, much of today's learning material remains trapped in traditional formal vehicles like eLearning courses or presentations. As a result, learning content - and the time and effort that goes into it -is often poorly leveraged. But it doesn't have to be that way.

The Learning Paradigm in Online Courses - 2 views

  • 1995 Change magazine
  • Robert B. Barr and John Tagg
  • “A paradigm shift is taking hold in American higher education. In its briefest form, the paradigm that has governed our colleges is this: A college is an institution that exists to provide instruction. Subtly but profoundly we are shifting to a new paradigm: A college is an institution that exists to produce learning. This shift changes everything. It is both needed and wanted.”
  • ...9 more annotations...
  • The Learning Paradigm (as opposed to the Instruction Paradigm), emphasizes the students’ active role in learning and the purpose of that learning, which can be strong motivators for students. The challenge for instructors is to cede some control of learning to the students.
  • “Rather than feeling responsible for delivering material, instructors need to be responsible for monitoring the students’ progress, giving feedback, and intervening when the students have problems,”
  • the instructor’s role is to guide students in the right direction rather than simply delivering the content.
  • And with the wealth of resources available online, the instructor is no longer the only source of knowledge.
  • In addition to giving students control of their own learning, the Learning Paradigm puts learning in a broader context than a single course does, helping students understand the purpose of the learning beyond the course itself and how they might be able to apply their knowledge to the learning at hand.
  • it’s important for instructors to set expectations and take measures to prepare them to learn in courses that embrace the Learning Paradigm.
  • Having students work together on a paper that each student could more easily do individually is not an effective way to do cooperative learning.
  • offers the following example of an effective way to foster positive interdependence: Have a group of three create a collaborative wiki in which each student contributes a section that he or she then needs to link to the other two students’ contributions. Such an assignment requires each student to teach the other group members his or her content and learn their content.
  • Barr, R.B., & Tagg, J. (1995). From teaching to learning—a new paradigm for undergraduate education. Change, 27(6),13-25.

    Interesting topic. Going from teaching to learning as a goal will require that areas students can learn vary widely as do the goals of why a student is trying to learns, their goals. See another paradigm from England. http://www.textbooksfree.org/Teacher's%20Internet%20Library.htm

Group of seven major universities seeks to offer online microcredentials | InsideHigherEd - 3 views

  • Highlight
  • Highlight
  • Tentatively dubbed the University Learning Store, the project is a joint effort involving the Georgia Institute of Technology, Northwestern University, the University of Washington, the University of California’s Davis, Irvine and Los Angeles campuses, and the University of Wisconsin Extension.
  • ...14 more annotations...
  • The idea is to create an “alternative credentialing process that would provide students with credentials that are much shorter and cheaper than conventional degrees,”
  • As with a department store, Schejbal said, the University Learning Store is about offering students different products from different providers.
  • “Those distinctions start to fade” with microcredentials, Bushway said. “The degree is almost a distraction.”
  • Schejbal said the project’s pricing would be of the “freemium” model. That means some of the content would be free, but students would have to spend money when the universities do.
  • “Students really do need to come in and out of education across a lifetime,” said Schejbal, adding that the microcredential project is “looking at people who need them regardless of their degree level.”
  • Tutoring or other support services would also be fee based.
  • “Students will be able to buy these à la carte,” said Schejbal, “or in a package.”
  • The planned online store would not be designed to be federal aid eligible,
  • The quality of the microcredentials in many ways will hinge on the assessments students must successfully complete to earn them
  • The project’s leaders had been working with an outside provider to help build the platform. But Schejbal said the universities eventually had to change gears and begin an open-bid process. That sort of red tape, which affects public universities much more than ed-tech companies, is an example of the challenges the University Learning Store likely will face. (All but one of the group of seven universities are public.)
  • Assessments would come with a price, he said, in part because they would be graded by people rather than computers.
  • The plan is for some of the online content to feature modular instruction, said Schejbal, meaning instructors will interact with students as they progress through the material -- as with a conventional online course, but for a shorter duration.
  • Students will be able to use online content and assessments -- with pieces from different universities -- to prove what they know and can do.
  • “We’re imagining that this would be cheap enough for a student to afford without financial aid,”
