    So imagine this: A student arrives in school in the morning and answers five questions that will be calculated in a customized algorithm to figure out what she'll be doing that day. That algorithm will decide which teacher she'll work with, her level of learning based on what she learned the previous day, and her specific activities. The system completely subverts the traditional classroom model of one teacher for 25- 30 students per classroom. And each student learns in different modalities throughout the day: individually with computer software, with groups, with a virtual tutor, with a live tutor, and so on.

    Have you bought any textbooks recently? K-12 book prices are outlandish; college textbooks border on criminal and publishers are moving slower than molasses in January when it comes to moving towards any sort of electronic publishing model. I know, let's cut down countless trees, print on them with toxic inks, and gouge the heck out of students when we could drastically cut costs and environmental impact by publishing books electronically! Good call.

    Revenue from music sold over the Internet, via mobile phones and in other digital forms, rose by 25 percent last year, to $3.7 billion, the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry said in a report set for publication Friday. Digital sales accounted for 20 percent of the industry's revenue, up from 15 percent a year earlier.

  • simulating traditional face-to-face classroom methods using asynchronous online learning simply misses the point that we are operating in a new medium with unique properties. 
  • have both interaction and independence. Not long ago it was impossible to have both; more of one meant less of the other.
  • we identify connectivity and asynchronicity as the core properties of online learning, and which have the potential to create a uniquely effective higher-order learning environment.

      If a deep and meaningful learning outcome is the goal of an educational experience, then an understanding of cognitive presence is a priority.

      In an asynchronous online learning context, there are two properties- reflection and collaboration - that shape cognitive presence in ways unique to this medium.

      In contrast to the spontaneous verbal communication of face-to-face learning contexts, asynchronous learning:
      Provides time to reflect,Permanent and precise nature of communication requires reflection,Reflection is used to interpret and construct meaning.
  • In contrast to the spontaneous verbal communication of face-to-face learning contexts, the asynchronous and largely written communication of asynchronous online learning would appear to provide the conditions that encourage if not require reflection.
  • reflection to interpret and construct meaning
  • It is important to understand the natural cycle of the learning process to effectively regulate the learning process.

      Dewey (1933)
      The natural cycle of the learning process:
      Perception of a need or problem. Exploration for relevant knowledge, (2.5?) constructing a meaningful explanation or solution. Resolving the dissonance through action.
  • Learning was inducing reflection through questions and actively monitoring this inquiry for the purpose of achieving understanding.
  • two dimensions that shape the practical inquiry model
  • deliberation-action and perception-conception

      The deliberation-action axis defines the reflection and collaboration properties of asynchronous learning.

      This process iterates between thought and action, and unifies the private and public worlds of inquiry.

      Perception-conception operates at the interface of these two worlds.
  • describes the process of creating meaning from experience and the process of creating cognitive presence. 
  • emphasis is on the generation of knowledge and less so on the control of learning activities
  • assume greater control of monitoring and managing the cognitive and contextual aspects of their learning.

  •  The skills are not new (with the exception of some of the Digital Literacy skills), but for centuries have been offered to only the privileged and gifted students. Yet all students need these skills to succeed.
  • Confucius recognized the need for learning by doing, quoted as: “I hear and I forget, I see and I remember, I do and I understand”. 
  • Context – Real-world learning Caring – Intrinsic motivation Construction – Mental & virtual model-building Competence – Multiple pathways to expertise Community – Learning socially in groups & teams

  • It is important now that learning becomes focused both on what students need to know, and what students are able to do with what they know.
  • That is why the 21st century skills movement won’t be short-lived. It is an economic and social imperative we all share now.
