Coursera Jumps the Shark | HESA - 0 views

  •  
    "Remember when Coursera - the world's largest purveyor of Massively Open Online Courses (MOOCs) - was going to disrupt higher education, and put hundreds if not thousands of public institutions out of business? I know it's hard to cast your mind back all of eighteen months, but try. Actually don't.  Because it's all over. Yesterday, Coursera did a weird strategy about-face by announcing that, rather than competing with public colleges, it's going to start competing with Blackboard instead"

"Using Rubrics for Information Literacy Skill Assessment: A Case Study " by Bobbi Makan... - 0 views

  •  
    "Information literacy-the ability to find, evaluate and use information effectively-is an essential skill set. The authors examine how assignments such as case analyses and research reports help business students master these abilities and provide examples of how analytic rubrics with measurable outcomes are particularly suited to assessing these skills. Also demonstrated is how librarians enhance and support student learning of information literacy by teaching in-depth research skills. Working together, professors and librarians can give students a solid foundation in the information-handling skills they need to be effective and productive in the workplace today."

Beyond MOOCs: Sustainable online learning in institutions | cetis publications - 0 views

  •  
    "The key opportunity for institutions is to take the concepts developed by the MOOC experiment to date and use them to improve the quality of their face-to-face and online provision, and to open up access to higher education. Most importantly, the understanding gained should be used to inform diversification strategies including the development of new business models and pedagogic approaches that take full advantage of digital technologies."

"Helping university students to 'read' scholarly journal articles" by Yuka Fujimoto, Pa... - 1 views

  •  
    "Academics often treat students' discipline-specific literacy as unproblematic. In doing so they may underestimate the difficulties for university students as they move between subjects of study that may involve different disciplines, language genres and academic practices. This paper describes an initiative aimed at supporting students in reading academic articles in preparation for completing an essay for an assessment task. This initiative involved a structured and collaborative two-week tutorial exercise that provided students with practice in using a framework to extract the main ideas from academic readings. Students were surveyed after this exercise, and their reflections of its value are described in this paper. The findings of this study will inform further stages of the project which aim to develop and investigate practical ways to develop student's academic literacy across several business disciplines."

Ten tips for receiving feedback effectively in clinical practice | Algiraigri | Medical... - 0 views

  •  
    "Despite being recognized as a fundamental part of the educational process and emphasized for several decades in medical education, the influence of the feedback process is still suboptimal. This may not be surprising, because the focus is primarily centered on only one half of the process - the teachers. The learners are the targets of the feedback process and improvement needs to be shifted. Learners need to be empowered with the skills needed to receive and utilize feedback and compensate for less than ideal feedback delivery due to the busy clinical environment."
