  • many professional educators and administrators remain hesitant, reluctant, and perhaps even highly resistant to try online learning and teaching with technology.
  • with accelerating demand for online learning, significantly reduced budgets, and the emergence of hundreds of free or relatively inexpensive Web technologies, that resistance is coming to a sudden halt.

  • show teachers examples of what actually works.
  • Consider having these stories developed by peers and colleagues whom they trust instead of by vendors or external consultants.
  • starting with a simple technology tool or resource that can be mastered and applied is more important than explaining the underlying instructional approach,
  • Support staff might be on call when needed for 1:1 help and advice. Technical support personnel and trainers should not dictate a single approach or instructional philosophy but rather they should listen to teacher needs and respond accordingly.
  • For instance, the final 5-10 minutes of a department, program, or unit meeting might be saved for a live presentation of an emerging technology or discussion of ideas related to how one is using technology or the Web in instruction
  • modeling the use of online technologies and courses by one’s colleagues and superiors is highly valuable.
  • or instance, someone savvy with technology or knowledgeable about online teaching and learning might be asked to support one or more novice teachers or assistants.

  • 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
  • "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,
  • ...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,"
  • But the positive results appeared consistent (and statistically significant) for all types of higher education, undergraduate and graduate,
  • 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."

  • How do you educate a generation of students eternally distracted by the internet, cellphones and video games? Easy. You enable them by handing out free iPhones — and then integrating the gadget into your curriculum.
  • That’s the idea Abilene Christian University has to refresh classroom learning. Located in Texas, the private university just finished its first year of a pilot program, in which 1,000 freshman students had the choice between a free iPhone or an iPod Touch.
  • Think web apps to turn in homework, look up campus maps, watch lecture podcasts and check class schedules and grades. For classroom participation, there’s even polling software for Abilene students to digitally raise their hand.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • The iPhone is aiding Abilene in giving students the information they need — when they want it, wherever they want it, said Bill Rankin, a professor of medieval studies who helped plan the initiative.
  • Conversely, the problem with the internet is there’s too much information, and it’s difficult to determine which data is valuable.
  • nstead of standing in front of a classroom and talking for an hour, Rankin instructs his students to use their iPhones to look up relevant information on the fly. Then, the students can discuss the information they’ve found, and Rankin leads the dialogue by helping assess which sources are accurate and useful.
  • “Polling opens up new realms for people for discussion,” said Tyler Sutphen, an ACU sophomore who has participated in the iPhone initiative for a year. “It’s a lot more interactive for those who aren’t as willing to jump up and throw out their answer in class. Instead, you push a button on the iPhone.”

  • That’s what I imagine, schools and classrooms that are as permeable as possible, so that learning leaks out — not that we’re losing it, but because we’ve stopped trying to contain it, allowing learning to grow, to network, to fertilize other learning.
  • School is a closed environment
  • But I’m wondering about a commercial opportunity, or open source collaboration, to develop a package that overlays a schools curriculum with some sort of ARG (alternate reality game), along with game master instructions, social network plugins, a variety of barcoded clue stickers that can be planted, etc. Seems like some hard-fun learning.

  • instructional designers should break up their products into short-term, medium-term, and long-term goals. For instance, before completing a course learners must complete several modules. To complete a module, several topics must be completed. In order to complete a topic, several objectives must be finished. And finally, each objective requires several goals to be completed.
  • If a user's skill exceeds the challenge of the experience, they will become bored. And, if the challenge exceeds the participant's skill, they will suffer anxiety. In the graph, an optimal user experience is illustrated in the "Flow Channel" as the squiggly line.
