A Personal Cyberinfrastructure (EDUCAUSE Review) | EDUCAUSE - 0 views

shared by Ben Rimes on 29 Jan 12 - Cached
  • The "progress" that higher education achieved with massive turnkey online systems, especially with the LMS, actually moved in the opposite direction. The "digital facelift" helped higher education deny both the needs and the opportunities emerging with this new medium.

      This is not isolated within higher education, this is education at all levels. Moving instruction/learning/teaching to the web does not change the way learning takes place, it simply changes the address. And in some ways, it makes taking risks to break out of the "old ways" even more daring and troublesome as the open-ness of the web most likely frightens people more than the "open-ness" of the classroom and school building.
  • Pointing students to data buckets and conduits we've already made for them won't do. Templates and training wheels may be necessary for a while, but by the time students get to college, those aids all too regularly turn into hindrances. For students who have relied on these aids, the freedom to explore and create is the last thing on their minds, so deeply has it been discouraged. Many students simply want to know what their professors want and how to give that to them.

    Free video resources and tutorials for learning about the Adobe Creative Suite. High quality video, special channels for various products, and the ability to organize videos into your own learning library makes this a great tool for educators or students looking to learn Adobe Creative Suite on their own, or to supplement in class work.

YouTube - RSA Animate - Changing Education Paradigms - 1 views

  •  
    Creative animation drawn as a visual reference to a brief talk given by Sir Ken Robinson. It compares the changing paradigm in education to trying to "waken" students up and energize them rather than continue to "mass produce" graduates.

Minds on Fire: Open Education, the Long Tail, and Learning 2.0 (EDUCAUSE Review) | EDUC... - 4 views

  • More than one-third of the world’s population is under 20. There are over 30 million people today qualified to enter a university who have no place to go. During the next decade, this 30 million will grow to 100 million. To meet this staggering demand, a major university needs to be created each week.
