TEAP2014

January 2014 HEA report

Humanistic education - Good overview at wikipedia.

Humanism - Carl Rogers - "best known contribution - the 'core conditions' for facilitative (counselling and educational) practice - congruence (realness), acceptance and empathy)." "We cannot teach another person directly; we can only facilitate his learning"

The Shallows: How the Internet is Changing the Way We Think, Read and Remember: Amazon.co.uk: Nicholas Carr: Books

this site suggests a way to arrange the top ten educational uses of video

Sandra P thank you for sharing. I will have a look but it seems as a good resource.

How does Problem-Based Learning differ from other approaches to learning? What role does technology play?

bring online based problem solving game to engage learner centered education in Civil Engineering.

Seemingly considerable resources to support use of multimedia in education. 

Whole blogresource from George Siemens (I think?) about Connectivism.

The original Connectivist MOOC. Would be interesting to explore the site properly - not sure how much is accessible... 

- I can't remember who posted this from our TEAP class or where! :( I like it's practical stance and it's useful starting points for truly integrating video and media into teaching design.

Another study looking at the relationship between social media use and academic achievement/engagement. Interesting that here some activities are more likely to have a positive impact. Are these the kind of interactions we could encourage by embracing learners' connectedness and engagement with social media? ► Students who spent more time on Facebook scored lower on an engagement scale. ► There was no relationship between time spent on Facebook and time spent studying. ► Students who spent more time on Facebook spent more time in campus activities. ► In general, Facebook activities were more strongly predictive of engagement. ► Some Facebook activities were negative predictors, while others were positive.

The findings indicated that young people who had used Facebook (but not YouTube) for more than a year had higher scores in tests of verbal ability, working memory, and spelling, compared to their peers who had used it for a shorter time period.  - FB and other social media as a 'practice ground' for data sorting, communication and social connectedness - Also some interesting details on survey methods used. 

Paper presented at 2013 Moodle Research conference - part of final year undergraduate research at Cass. I think it's important to look at data directly from students. Can we make them real partners in the design and experience of courses?

Highlights * We explore factors affecting students' engagement with Moodle and Facebook. * Students were not interested in using Moodle, yet active on Facebook. * We use Activity Theory as a lens for data interpretation. * Factors are categorized as technological, individual, and community levels.

Hello there, Thanks for sharing this Ivan - good one I hope I can effectively operationalize some ideas. Thanks Z

Interesting! As are a number of the papers suggested afterwards which I will bookmark too! As an aside you may be interested in the paper Cass Business School students present to the Moodle Research Conference last year: http://research.moodle.net/mod/data/view.php?d=7&rid=124 One point of interest I'm keen to follow is the possible rise in more student-led studies (at City?) - in this case, both surveying students and by students. I'm also interested in how we could look more at involving learners in the design process.
