forms of representation H800

shared by Kev Harland on 05 Apr 14 - No Cached
  • different forms of representation have what philosophers call different fields of reference.
  • even when different symbolic forms of representation address the same field of reference, conveying (what appears to be) the same information
  • strongly colored by the knowledge structures ("schemata") we already possess
  • ...10 more annotations...
  • much may depend on the richness and organization of the knowledge schemata one brings to bear on the incoming information
  • affect meanings is a matter of balance between them and the richness of one's schemata
  • basic symbolic forms of representation--language, number, spatial relations, movement, pitch
  • the convergence of findings supports the conclusion that different symbolic forms of representation require different symbolic capacities
  • The seven intelligences he describes (linguistic, musical, logical/mathematical, spatial, bodily/kinesthetic, intrapersonal, and interpersonal)
  • different symbolic forms of representation are processed by different sets of mental skills and capacities
  • hildren do not expend much mental effort on a televised story, even when it is quite poetic and requires effort
  • Thus they learn far less from it than from an equivalent story in print.
  • Where or when television is perceived as a serious medium
  • They also seem to be gradually changing the meaning of "knowledge," from something that is possessed to something to which we have access

  • In general, we may regard a perceptual experience as an informational state of the subject: it has a certain content -- the world is represented a certain way -- and hence it permits of a non-derivative classification as true or false. For an internal state to be so regarded, it must have appropriate connections with behaviour -- it must have a certain motive force upon the actions of the subject.... The informational states which a subject acquires through perception are non-conceptual, or nonconceptualised. Judgements based upon such states necessarily involve conceptualisation.

shared by Kev Harland on 13 Apr 14 - No Cached
  • This UKOER phase 2 project was working closely with the NHS eLearning Repository to explore sharing open educational resources across clinical (i.e. NHS) and academic (i.e. HEI) settings in the UK. We worked with Jorum to look at potential ways to represent OERs in both repositories to increase access to both datasets via access from NHSNet and JANET.
  • The work of the project built on the excellent partnership established in our previous UKOER phase 1 pilot project, OOER, and extended and embed the good practice development begun in phase 1, together with equivalents such as the eLearning readiness toolkit developed by the NHS.
  • Alongside this important work, we further developed the concept of a Consent Commons to make sure that the interests of patients and non-patients appearing in clinical recordings used in OERs are fairly represented (in accordance with UK Data Protection and Privacy and Electronic Communications legislation, following the guidelines from the Information Commissioners Office), alongside the copyright and ownership interests - typically represented in, for example, a Creative Commons license.

  • mobile technologies afford new opportunities for learning, but their use does not guarantee that effective learning will take place
  • College students use their mobile devices mostly for self-directed informal learning rather than in the formal academic context, however, which makes it challenging to get an accurate picture of academic use.
  • Kev Harland on 02 Aug 14
     
    The popularity of mobile technologies among college students is increasing dramatically. Results from the ECAR research study on students suggest that many undergraduate students bring their own digital devices to college, favoring small and portable ones such as smartphones and tablets. 2 Although students still rate laptops (85 percent) as the most important devices to their academic success, the importance of mobile devices such as tablets (45 percent), smartphones (37 percent), and e-book readers (31 percent) is noticeably on the rise. Increasingly, students say they want the ability to access academic resources on their mobile devices.3 In fact, 67 percent of students' smartphones and tablets are reportedly being used for academic purposes, a rate that has nearly doubled in just one year.4

      # Blending modalities and using technology to engage learners is a winning combination. # Students continue to bring their own devices to college, and the technology is both prolific and diverse. # Students have strong and positive perceptions about how technology is being used and how it benefits them in the academic environment. # Students are selective about the communication modes they use to connect with instructors, institutions, and other students.

    The findings in this report were developed using a representative sample of students from 184 U.S.-based institutions.
