Exploring Students' Mobile Learning Practices in Higher Education (EDUCAUSE Review) | E... - 1 views

  • 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.
  •  
    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.

20 reasons why Stanford Prof thinks video lectures self-evidently better - 1 views

  • “I set out to create that same sense of the student sitting alongside me, one-on-one. If you can pull it off, it’s powerful. In particular, if you can create that feeling of intimate human connection, the student will overlook a lot of imperfections and problems.”

Will a degree made up of Moocs ever be worth the paper it's written on? | Higher Educat... - 1 views

  • Very few Moocs lead to any sort of officially recognised qualification, so the recent success of the University of the People in being permitted to award degrees to students studying for its tuition-free, online-only courses marks a departure for the sector.
  • The University of the People, for example, states that undergraduates will study in groups of 30 to 40
  • he big question is whether you can [offer degrees] without tutorial support, and so at lower cost.

  • Moocs will have to change considerably to gain credibility and improve the quality of students' learning experience.
  • students will need to be extremely driven to get through.
  • The degree and quality of tutor interactions is seen as critical to any chance of success by others in the sector, too.
  • Mooc providers need to find ways to make the assessment richer, more meaningful and more reliable at scale for larger audiences."
  • These better options include courses from providers such as the Open University and Ed2Go that provide "quality education for specific certificate programs in a much more personalised setting at very competitive prices and, in many cases, to developing nations gratis."

  • making Real-World connections
  • The context into where a student learned knowledge was helpful, but not seen as a key component as it is today.
  • Teaching from books instead of everyday life assumes that the knowledge within the book is self-contained. Dictionaries are most useful to an experienced reader who refers to them with a specific context already in mind.
