  • in many classrooms on today's traditional campuses, with class sizes in the hundreds of students, distance learning begins in the fifth row. At the same time, students spend much of their days holed up in their dorm rooms chatting with one another on Facebook. The opportunities to learn from other students and professors, in and out of class, are declining at the very time that we know such engagement is critical for learning.
  • We know students learn more when expectations are high and when feedback on what they need to do to improve is constant. I'm certain that my young friend, and his friends, would work harder if we expected it of them—but we don't.

  • We have to decide what students should learn and then offer courses that will enable them to achieve the goals we have set. The smorgasbord that currently exists is inefficient, ineffective, and meets the whims of the faculty rather than the needs of the students.

    Good editorial on large class size and disengagement across large institutions. A very student-centered piece that rings true on a lot of fronts.

    This is a good starting point to share with faculty and IDs who are looking for ways to assess assignments in new media. It should only be a starting point though. Not every blog/twitter/multimedia assignment is created equally.

  • If you’re not interested in games, it’s easy to ignore them. Your stream will remain focused on conversations with the people you care about.

    Google is already taking some major flack about putting Games on Google+, mainly from people that don't want to re-live the Facebook spam days of Farmville and Mafia Wars. Looks like they're listening and trying to make the games transparent for those that don't want to play. Solid list of launch titles though, including Angry Birds, Zynga Poker and a Dragon Age game.

  • The reservations don’t surprise Cole W. Camplese, senior director of teaching and learning with technology at Pennsylvania State University. “Anytime there is a radical change in the way things are done, people will be cautious,” he says. The university has apparently decided this is worth the risk, he adds. Mr. Camplese also notes that Mr. McLeod is well-regarded and very experienced. “If anyone can pull this off, it will be someone like Scott,” he says.
