A disruption grows up? | education's digital future - 0 views

  •  
    "Competency-based education could be a game-changer for adult students, probably more so than MOOCs. Yet despite the backing of powerful supporters, colleges have been reluctant to go all-in because they are unsure whether accreditors and the federal government will give the nod to degree programs that look nothing like the traditional college model."

A Competency-Based Educational Shift Is Underway in Higher Ed | EdTech Magazine - 0 views

  • The Higher Education Act of 1965 is due for reauthorization this year, and direct assessment programs could be in the spotlight. The law, which governs how federal student aid functions, could see some major changes later this year. As part of ongoing discussions for revisiting the act, the U.S. House of Representatives unanimously passed legislation in July that would aid colleges employing competency-based education programs, according to Inside Higher Ed. The educational approach allows students to pursue a degree based on their demonstration of skill mastery instead of their letter grades. The intent is to provide more concrete skills that translate directly to a work environment rather than a theoretical educational approach.

The MOOC Is Dead! Long Live Open Learning! » DIY U - 0 views

  • 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.)

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

  •  
    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.

The Ax-Wielding Futurist Swinging for a Higher Ed Tech Revolution - 0 views

  •  
    "Alexander also has doubts about houses of higher learning. "I'm optimistic about learning, but often pessimistic about educational institutions," he says. "This is the best time in human history to be a learner. We have so much access, but college and university business models are often straining at the seams." Rather than seeing these online tools as a way to make money or replace traditional models, Alexander sees them as a way to supplement the brick-and-mortar campus experience. When he thinks of Transforming the University in the 21st Century - the title of his next book - Alexander sees places like his beloved Ann Arbor shifting but still standing."
