Preface | EDUCAUSE - 0 views

  •  
    The elephant in the room is the question: If a 300-year-old institution like Encyclopedia Brittanica can be threatened in five years by Wikipedia, can other aggregators of expertise (aka colleges and universities) be similarly challenged? Similarly, if knowledge and talent are now globally understood to be the sine qua non of the Information Age, then can colleges and universities lever their communities, reputations, credentials, and presence globally? And, finally, how does the new channel cut by information technology change scholarship? Does the existence or accessibility of new tools, instruments, and resources change academic practice, and how do changes-or constancies-get socialized?

MOOCs: What Part of Learning Goes on Where and How? - 3 views

  • I like the idea that really good teachers could be challenged to change the way they think about learning and put their talents to work finding new ways to structure learning environments that can handle the ever-expanding population of students with widely varying backgrounds.
  • information is not synonymous with understanding, and delivery is not synonymous with education
  • Learning means focusing attention on the key concepts in a topic.

  • Learning means making connections with a learner’s prior knowledge.
  • Learning means actively processing the incoming information, digesting it, working with it, summarizing, paraphrasing, applying it.
  • Learning also requires that the learners’ attempts receive guiding feedback.
  • There are ways of providing electronic feedback to this kind of active learning. Our solution was to provide examples of answers that would fit the task and let the learners compare theirs. Not totally satisfying and sometimes not totally accurate.
  • One is the “community of learners”
  • possibilities
  • a more elaborate version of peer feedback, where the large group of learners respond to one another’s ideas in hopes of finding some kind of consensus.
  • I think this probably works in an informed community of participants where there is a distribution of prior knowledge that can be drawn on.
  • I think a community of novices still needs the guidance of a more informed individual or group of individuals.
  • the essence of deep learning is in the interaction with others as we grapple with what we think we know versus what we really know. That’s the kind of online learning I’d like to see us build.

    Svinicki posits what learning means, and the kinds of guided feedback necessary, especially for "deep learning . . . [through] interaction with others as we grapple with what we think we know versus what we really know" (¶8).

Next: An Internet Revolution in Higher Education - BusinessWeek - 0 views

  • The Harvards of the world won't go away. They will continue to be the high-fidelity players
    • Alexandre Enkerli
       
      Is this meant to reassure those who are scared by the prospects?
  • Even though technologies emerged that might foster new models of higher education, the neat accreditation ecosystem locked out innovative competitors.
    • Alexandre Enkerli
       
      Isn't this a summary of what some of us have to go through? It's kind of a role-conflict at the organizational level. The (manifest) function of university education has shifted away from learning toward giving credit for a set of skills. More than universities being vocational schools, it's about universities focusing on evaluation. Are there still learning institutions, out there?
  • Just as the Internet has helped blow down the doors of the music industry, newspapers, and the travel-agent business, it will eventually do the same to higher education.
    • Alexandre Enkerli
       
      This may be too big a leap, for a number of people. But it has the advantage of making the problem visible. In fact, in contexts through which "information" and "education" are associated with democracy, what has been happening to newspapers is more likely to convince university people that there might be a problem than anything about the music industry. Especially if we think about the obsession with "intellectual property" which seeped into university contexts and is only being challenged now.

  • cheap, easy, and good-enough degree

      Sounds like a specialized version of the so-called "80-20 rule." And it's one which sounds very unconvincing for many people in the Ivory Tower. In a way, it's like talking about having "a little bit of grace."
