  • Surprisingly, it turns out that sharing work online can be a proactive way to prevent it from being stolen. By publicizing what you are engaged in, you stake a claim on your scholarship. If someone tried to reproduce your work, having a record of it online clearly establishes that it belongs to you by right and by copyright.
  •  
    This is one of the main reasons that I have a blog, which includes my reflections, information about what I've been working on, my CV, etc.

Deep Learning vs. Surface Learning: Getting Students to Understand the Difference | Fac... - 0 views

  • Until teachers stop relying on questions that can be answered with details plucked from short-term memory, there isn’t much chance that students will opt for the deep learning approaches.
  • But it is terribly important that in explicit and concerted ways we make students aware of themselves as learners. We must regularly ask, not only “What are you learning?” but “How are you learning?” We must confront them with the effectiveness (more often ineffectiveness) of their approaches. We must offer alternatives and then challenge students to test the efficacy of those approaches. We can tell them the alternatives work better but they will be convinced if they discover that for themselves.
