      Therein lies the rub
  • Anywhere you look in the world today there are asymmetries in the education that people have and the education that people need. Even in the United States, with one of the most sophisticated systems of higher education the world has ever seen, we do not produce enough postsecondary graduates to meet the needs of our economy.
  • as we explore and expand our range of global opportunities, as new technologies enable us to be more connected, we must be that much more connected to our local communities. In our engagement with the local, we set the foundation to move forward with our work of advancing the betterment of humankind.

    I wonder if a similar system simply for use within Penn State could be beneficial. more efficient use of space and allow for connections to be made across units (Campuses?) Just a thought. I have no data about the state of university office spaces.

    Shades of the Shirky Symposium Keynote? At first glance this might seem frightening to the layman, but think about it: knowledgeable, trained doctors using an additional but social source to find information that augments peer reviewed journals.
  • Allan Gyorke on 02 Jun 11
     
    I wonder how much time doctors have to devote to research in peer reviewed journals. Maybe they get to read JAMA. When Andrew needs to look up something medical, he often starts with Wikipedia or PubMed and then digs deeper from there.

At Calhoun School, Longer Classes in 5 Short Terms - NYTimes.com - 0 views

www.nytimes.com/...02calhoun.html
shared by Chris Millet on 01 Jun 11 - No Cached
  • Instead of the traditional schedule of eight 45-minute classes each day, with courses broken into two semesters, high school students at Calhoun intensively study three to five subjects in each of five terms, or modules, that are 32 to 36 days long. Classes are in blocks of 65 or 130 minutes each day. Every day, students have 45 minutes of “community time,” an intentionally unstructured period for the students to hang out.
  • What started five years ago as an effort to accommodate maddeningly complex schedules in a relatively small space quickly became a sort of evangelical mission to make progressive education more, well, progressive: embracing depth over breadth, allowing for more experiential learning in Central Park and at nearby museums, and, administrators said they hoped, reducing stress. Steven J. Nelson, Calhoun’s head of school, said the new schedule fostered teaching in the ways children learn best.

  • "At Penn State, we needed a clicker system that was both easy to use and flexible enough to support our wide-ranging teaching methodologies," said Dave Test, a member of the university's technology classroom support organization. "With i>clicker, our faculty can easily implement clickers into their courses, adding myriad engagement opportunities with their students, but without the steep learning curve that we've experienced in the past. i>clicker gives us rock solid reliability and all of the features we need, without all of the headaches of other clicker systems."

Why I Will Never, Ever Hire A "Social Media Expert" - 4 views

shared by bartmon on 31 May 11 - No Cached
  • Ready for the ultimate kicker? We still haven’t learned! We got thirsty again, and are drinking the same ten-year-old Kool-Aid without so much as asking for ice. Rather than embracing this new technology and merging it with what we’ve learned already, we’re throwing off our clothes and running naked in the rain, waving our hands in the air, sure that this time it’ll be different, because this time it’s better! “It’s not about building a website anymore! It’s so much cooler! It’s about Facebook, and fans, and followers, and engagement, and influence, and…”Will you please shut up before you make me vomit on your shoes?
  • bartmon on 31 May 11
     
    This is quite the rant. I know World Campus had a social media expert and Liberal Arts has a Curator...is this trend on the upswing of the downswing in terms of hiring personnel specifically for this at PSU?
  • Allan Gyorke on 01 Jun 11
     
    There are some good points in this article. It seems that as social media has become the norm for online interaction, it has ceased to become something that people can specialize in. I was talking to some students and they asked what Web 2.0 was and I explained that it was everything they use online: Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Google Docs, blogs, user forums, etc... So while "social media expert" used to be a label of innovation, it has almost become a limiting label - just part of the picture. In contrast, I see people like Robin Smail who are moving beyond "just" social media and into areas like community engagement. Sure, some of that involves social media, but it's more about building relationships, ownership, and buy-in through openness and transparency. The other points of the article - like knowing your audience and not having inflated expectations about social media's impact on your business and customer relationships are right on target.

    Really interesting article. I've become fascinated with the inherent tension between local & global communities as the transmission of culture happens faster & in more abundance. It's become part of my dissertation. It also fits in well with Michael Elavsky's work and summer camp.

    I have long been intrigued by Bhutan's gross national happiness concept. This article really gets at the heart of wondering what should be in the curriculum and what the goals of education really should be. Thanks so much for sharing.

2 Universities Under the Legal Gun - Technology - The Chronicle of Higher Education - 1 views

chronicle.com/...127688 copyright fairuse
shared by Chris Millet on 31 May 11 - No Cached
  • What they're fighting about: The educational video publishers claim that UCLA is violating copyright and breaching its contract by copying DVD's of Shakespeare plays acquired from Ambrose and streaming them online for faculty and students to use in courses. They say UCLA had the right only to lend copies to teachers for in-class use or to show the DVD's in the library itself.
  • The university did not "secure the right to stream our programs from a library server to any class and any student whenever it chooses," said Allen Dohra, president of the trade group, in a written statement. UCLA says copyright law permits streaming.
  • Much is also at stake for publishers, who say UCLA's practice could be catastrophic for the educational-video business. They fear it will cut off new markets for distributors like Ambrose, which sells its own streaming service.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Kevin Smith, the university's scholarly-communications officer, described the plaintiffs' request to limit how much material can be used as "a nightmare scenario for higher education."
  • Publishers Weekly described the case as "the most significant copyright trial for publishers since the Kinko's course-pack litigation," referring to a 1991 case in which Basic Books sued the Kinko's chain for copyright infringement. (The publisher won.)

    "Requiring use of an emerging technology in a classroom environment when the technology is inaccessible to an entire population of individuals with disabilities - individuals with visual disabilities - is discrimination prohibited by the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Section 504) unless those individuals are provided accommodations or modifications that permit them to receive all the educational benefits provided by the technology in an equally effective and equally integrated manner."

    This was written specifically to address e-reader pilot programs. It doesn't specifically mean that you can never technologies that are not completely accessible, but it does set the bar pretty high to ensure that blind students would have an equivalent educational experience.
