shared by Paul Beaufait on 26 Feb 13 - No Cached

information is not synonymous with understanding, and delivery is not synonymous with education

Learning means making connections with a learner’s prior knowledge.
...

Cancel
Learning means actively processing the incoming information, digesting it, working with it, summarizing, paraphrasing, applying it.
...

Cancel
Learning also requires that the learners’ attempts receive guiding feedback.
...

Cancel
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”

Cancel
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.
...

Cancel
I think this probably works in an informed community of participants where there is a distribution of prior knowledge that can be drawn on.
...

Cancel
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.

Right now, a lot of free education is thrown online without a clear sense of how it will help people prepare themselves for employment.

The decision to make everything on ALISON free remains the key factor that distinguishes the site from others of its type, and makes it globally valuable.
