Designing & Assessing Formal and Informal Learning Spaces - 0 views

  •  
    Welcome to the companion website to our ELI presentation on Assessing Learning Spaces. We have made many of our instruments and resources available for your reference. However, since we have worked in cooperation with several institutions and modified their instruments for our use, we'd ask that you contact them directly to get permission to do the same. The San José State University Academic Success Center opened in October 2006 with a goal to increase student success by providing 21st-century technology, informal and formal learning spaces, and the services and support. The objective was to build an integrative center that provides students with an innovative space and technology tools for collaboration and promotes faculty pedagogical innovation through the use of our Incubator Classroom, winner of the 2007 Campus Technology Innovators Award. By combining physical space, technology tools, and an intensive professional development program, the ASC exemplifies a new synergistic model for the campus.

Informal Learning Environment - All or nothing - 0 views

  • Upon reflection, I realized that this parallels the introduction of eLearning. Many people had oversimplified what eLearning meant; they defined it as replacing instructors with computers.
  • All learning occurs through a combination of different activites. Why should eLearning be different?)
  • The formal-versus-informal debate shouldn’t be happening at all. Extremists on both sides miss the point that this is not either/or. It’s shades of gray.

  • Imagine, if you will, a learning mixer. You could slide the switches to give the learners a little more control here while shaving development time there. And so on. Here’s a hypothetical learning mixer.
  • You don’t achieve the best mix by moving all of the sliders to the top or all to the bottom.
  • The Delivery slider moves from courses and push (formal) to conversations and pull (informal).
