  • Will a virtual bank for teachers to share ideas revolutionise lesson planning or stifle creativity?

      Limita a criatividade?! Ler um livro alguma vez limita a imaginação?...
  • At present, most teachers wince at the very mention of virtual learning platforms. Most VLPs are a horrific combination of required - the government has declared that all schools must have one - and useless. Unconnected and underdeveloped, many VLPs are devoid of content: empty cathedrals, monuments to technological failure.
  • "The students we teach come from a media age; they are visually bombarded from every angle. As teachers we have to compete against their entertainment. A worksheet is not enough to engage them any more."
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • Fears have been expressed that the bank will encourage teachers to skimp on planning, encouraging them to copy and paste material at the last minute like their more irresponsible students.
  • A star rating like that used by eBay will allow teachers to rank resources they have tried and approved, encouraging - as Iglesias puts it - "the cream to rise to the top".
  • Because the project is entirely open source, downloaded resources can be adapted and changed without fear of breaching copyright laws.
  • Developed with EU funding and pioneered in Spain, the bank's source code is free for other countries to use and copy.
  • To maintain quality assurance, all of the bank's resources will be vetted by local authorities and/or the national learning grid.
  • In the next academic year, all schools will have access to a new National Digital Resource Bank.
  • The idea is to pull together all the resources created by teachers, schools and public funding into one central location.
  • "We should be promoting tools rather than content," says Jenkins. "Students should be encouraged to be critical by remixing, commenting on and sharing the resources they are given. They should be creating their own content.

research education elearning online learning study

  • The study found that students who took all or part of their instruction online performed better, on average, than those taking the same course through face-to-face instruction
  • hose who took "blended" courses -- those that combine elements of online learning and face-to-face instruction -- appeared to do best of all
  • But the positive results appeared consistent (and statistically significant) for all types of higher education, undergraduate and graduate,
  • ...10 more annotations...
  • For its conclusions, however, the Education Department considered only a small number (51) of independent studies that met strict criteria.
  • The use of video or online quizzes -- frequently encouraged for online education -- "does not appear to enhance learning,"
  • Using technology to give students "control of their interactions" has a positive effect on student learning, however. "Studies indicate that manipulations that trigger learner activity or learner reflection and self-monitoring of understanding are effective when students pursue online learning as individuals,"
  • "Studies in which learners in the online condition spent more time on task than students in the face-to-face condition found a greater benefit for online learning,
  • In many of the studies showing an advantage for online learning, the online and classroom conditions differed in terms of time spent, curriculum and pedagogy. It was the combination of elements in the treatment conditions (which was likely to have included additional learning time and materials as well as additional opportunities for collaboration) that produced the observed learning advantages
  • Education Secretary Arne Duncan urged educators to consider the report's findings. “This new report reinforces that effective teachers need to incorporate digital content into everyday classes and consider open-source learning management systems, which have proven cost effective in school districts and colleges nationwide,”
  • "It gives people greater opportunity for flexibility, for experiential learning, for illustrating things in multiple ways such as visualization." What the study demonstrates, she said, is that colleges need to think broadly about using online education,
  • "This report correctly recognizes that online learning and blended learning are growing components of higher education and, employed properly, can play a significant role in promoting student learning.
  • These results demonstrate why more research is needed
  • Successful education has always been about engaging students whether it is in an online environment, face to face or in a blended setting. And fundamental to that is having faculty who are fully supported and engaged in that process as well."
