Jisc TechDis - Accessible m-Learning model - 3 views

  • Accessibility is not necessarily about a disability; in fact it is not likely to be dependent on any single factor but will depend on several different things.
  • It’s easy to think that the small screen size, limited text options and fiddly buttons would immediately reduce the accessibility of the device for some learners.

  • he big question is whether you can [offer degrees] without tutorial support, and so at lower cost.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • 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."

  •  
    How to decide whether to engage in training or in education?  And how to know which is needed, if maybe not both? There are several attributes of education and training that can help answer each question. The table (Based on Arthur Chickering's work in Education and Identity, Jossie-Bass, 1993) summarizes the attributes of education and training and poses the critical questions the learner must answer when choosing between them.

    Everyone designs who devises courses of action aimed at changing existing situations into preferred ones. The intellectual activity that produces material artifacts is no different fundamentally from the one that prescribes remedies for a sick patient or the one that devises a new sales plan for a company or a social welfare policy for a state." - Herbert Simo
