Mobile Teaching Versus Mobile Learning (EDUCAUSE Quarterly) | EDUCAUSE - 0 views

  •  
    Key Points: * Higher education historically has focused on instructors teaching rather than students learning, an ineffective approach that could seriously hamper the promise of mobile learning. * Successful student learning emerges from active engagement, connection to the students' prior knowledge, and simulation of real world experiences - all facilitated by engaging learners' senses through multimedia. * Higher education should stop thinking about these powerful mobile multimedia devices as only consumption devices - to live up to the promise of mobile learning, students should use them as production devices.

How To Crowdsource Grading | HASTAC - 0 views

  • they can now also read all the class blogs (as they used to) and pass judgment on whether the blogs posted by their fellow students  are satisfactory. Thumbs up, thumbs down.   If not, any student who wishes can revise. If you revise, you get the credit.  End of story.  Or, if you are too busy and want to skip it, no problem.  It just means you'll have fewer ticks on the chart and will probably get the lower grade.  No whining.  It's clearcut and everyone knows the system from day one.  (btw, every study of peer review among students shows that students perform at a higher level, and with more care, when they know they are being evaluated by their peers than when they know only the teacher and the TA will be grading).

Knowledge building - Wikipedia - 0 views

  • Principles of Knowledge building Scardamalia (2002) identifies twelve principles of Knowledge building as follows:
  • Real ideas and authentic problems. In the classroom as a Knowledge building community, learners are concerned with understanding, based on their real problems in the real world. Improvable ideas. Students' ideas are regarded as improvable objects. Idea diversity. In the classroom, the diversity of ideas raised by students is necessary. Rise above. Through a sustained improvement of ideas and understanding, students create higher level concepts. Epistemic agency. Students themselves find their way in order to advance. Community knowledge, collective responsibility. Students' contribution to improving their collective knowledge in the classroom is the primary purpose of the Knowledge building classroom. Democratizing knowledge. All individuals are invited to contribute to the knowledge advancement in the classroom. Symmetric knowledge advancement. A goal for Knowledge building communities is to have individuals and organizations actively working to provide a reciprocal advance of their knowledge. Pervasive Knowledge building. Students contribute to collective Knowledge building. Constructive uses of authoritative sources. All members, including the teacher, sustain inquiry as a natural approach to support their understanding. Knowledge building discourse. Students are engaged in discourse to share with each other, and to improve the knowledge advancement in the classroom. Concurrent, embedded, and transformative assessment. Students take a global view of their understanding, then decide how to approach their assessments. They create and engage in assessments in a variety of ways.
