  • 9% of MOOC non-users had never heard of MOOCs.
  • Half of non-users aware of MOOCs cited this as a main reason for not taking courses, while just 4% cited lack of computer access and 6% cited high Internet costs.

  • AAC&U's GEMs project and WICHE's Interstate Passport Initiative.3
  • Fundamental questions surrounding CBE, where we still lack an agreed-upon taxonomy and nomenclature
  • Those changes were painful, and many stakeholders, unable to adjust to a new industry ecosystem, disappeared or were greatly diminished. Higher education, infinitely more complicated, may nevertheless be on the cusp of a similar revolution, leading to a new higher education ecosystem.

    "Three important developments stand to dramatically change the way we think about degree programs and pathways: The rapid adoption of competency-based education (CBE) programs, often using industry and employer authority for guiding the creation of the competencies and thus programs An eventual move to suborganizational accreditation, with Title IV funds available for credits, courses, and microcredentials offered by new providers in new delivery models, part of the accelerating trend toward "unbundling" higher education Increasing recognition that postsecondary education will no longer be contained to the existing and traditional degree levels but will instead be consumed at various levels of granularity-less than full degree programs and continuing throughout lives and careers"

  • The MOOC Is Dead! Long Live Open Learning!
  • We’re at a curious point in the hype cycle of educational innovation, where the hottest concept of the past year–Massive Open Online Courses, or MOOCs–is simultaneously being discovered by the mainstream media, even as the education-focused press is declaring them dead
  • Can MOOCs really be growing and dying at the same time?
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • The best way to resolve these contradictory signals is probably to accept that the MOOC, itself still an evolving innovation, is little more than a rhetorical catchall for a set of anxieties around teaching, learning, funding and connecting higher education to the digital world.
  • This is a moment of cultural transition
  • Access to higher education is strained. The prices just keep rising.
  • Yet, partnerships between MOOC platforms and public institutions like SUNY and the University of California to create self-paced blended courses and multiple paths to degrees look like a sensible next step for the MOOC, but they are far from that revolutionary future.
  • projects to transform higher education in a direction that is connected and creative, is open as in open content and open as in open access, that is participatory, that takes advantage of some of the forms and practices that the MOOC also does but is not beholden to the narrow mainstream MOOC format (referring instead to some of the earlier iterations of student-created, distributed MOOCscreated by Dave Cormier, George Siemens, Stephen Downes and others.)

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

shared by anonymous on 18 Jul 14 - No Cached
  • 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.

      This substantiates my prediction that learners will be "knowmads" roaming the content landscape and collecting what they want and need.
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • 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.

Did you love watching lectures from your professors? - The Hechinger Report - 2 views

hechingerreport.org/e-least-effective-way-to-learn

lectures interaction interactivity

shared by anonymous on 22 Dec 15 - No Cached
  • anonymous on 22 Dec 15
     
    found that video lecturers were the least effective way to learn. Students who primarily learned through watching video lectures did the worst both on the 11 quizzes during the 12-week course and on the final exam. Students who primarily learned through reading, or a combination of reading and video lectures, did a bit better, but not much. This story also appeared in U.S. News & World Report The students who did the best were those who clicked on interactive exercises. For example, one exercise asked students to click and drag personality factors to their corresponding psychological traits.  A student would need to drag "neuroticism" to the same line with "calm" and "worrying," in this case. Hints popped up when a student guessed wrong. On the weekly quizzes, the "doers" who did nothing but the interactive exercises scored about the same as the "doers" who also did some combination of watching and reading. It almost seems as if you don't need to watch lectures or read at all. Thankfully, reading and lecture-watching mattered a bit on the final exam.

    "Education in five to ten years will become modular, will become omnichannel, and will become lifelong," Agarwal said at the meeting, later explaining that omnichannel meant offering courses either online or in person. "We are going to make it so. It's not going to happen by itself, we're going to make it happen. Modular is good because it can create new efficiencies and new scaling and unbundling of components," he added.
