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.
  • ...10 more annotations...
  • 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).

Do Teaching Online & Face-to-Face Classes Require Different Skills? - 2 views

  •  
    Can a teacher use the same teaching techniques in a face-to-face and an online course? According to a study conducted by Park, Johnson, Vath, Kubitskey, & Fishman (2013) on Examining the Roles of the Facilitator in Online and Face-to-Face Professional Development Contexts (Journal of Technology and Teacher Education, 21(2), 225-245), teachers need to cater to individual learners more online than face-to-face. In the face-to-face environments, students learn from each other and from the teacher. In the face-to-face class, the teacher is able to summarize the information for the students and get feedback from the students body language on how well they understood the information. In the online class, the teacher only knows whether the students understood or not from their writing. Teaching online requires that the teacher be very attentive and aware of the student's individual interests, needs, and level of understanding.

Cageless Thinking: Innovation and Creativity in Education - 0 views

  • For a school to thrive it needs good exam results. For its students to survive, a school needs to teach them skills and prepare them for reality.
  • Technology used well in schools can offer a tangible link to the outside world – it can be a bridge in many different ways to what is happening outside of the classroom
