Edge: THE IMPENDING DEMISE OF THE UNIVERSITY By Don Tapscott - 0 views

shared by sheryl barnes on 04 Jun 09 - Cached
  • Universities are finally losing their monopoly on higher learning, as the web inexorably becomes the dominant infrastructure for knowledge sweeney both as a container and as a global platform for knowledge exchange between people
  • there is a widening gap between the model of learning offered by many big universities and the natural way that young people who have grown up digital best learn
  • universities are not primarily institutes of higher learning, but institutes for science and research

  • "Graduate education," he began, "is the Detroit of higher learning
  • The End of University as We Know It
  • problem-focused programs
  • It's not only what you know that really counts when you graduate; it's how you navigate in the digital world, and what you do with the information you discover
  • called just-in-time teaching
  • It's when the students talk about what they think is going on and why, that's where the biggest learning occurs for them
  • The basic model of pedagogy is broken
  • The scandal of education is that every time you teach something, you deprive a child of the pleasure and benefit of discovery
  • once you start going to school, in some ways you start to learn much slower because you are being taught, rather than what happens if you're learning in order to do things that you yourself care about
  • Why should a university student be restricted to learning from the professors at the university he or she is attending
  • We're challenged by obstructive, non-market-based business models

  • At MIT, Papert went on to create the Epistemology and Learning Research Group at the MIT Media Lab[3]. Here, he was the developer of an original and highly influential theory on learning called constructionism, built upon the work of Jean Piaget in Constructivism learning theories. Papert worked with Jean Piaget during the 1960s and is widely considered the most brilliant and successful of Piaget's proteges; Piaget once said that "no one understands my ideas as well as Papert." Papert has rethought how schools should work based on these theories of learning.

    The Faculty Fellowship Program at the University of Minnesota aims to change faculty culture to implement effectively the thoughtful and innovative application of educational technologies...Our collaborative report is both a manifesto and a roadmap for creating a broad, holistic vision of a university culture that supports excellence in teaching and learning with technology...The presence of a university-wide approach to faculty development results in the institution's ability to learn from its own practices.

    New! State of LMS in Higher Education - Understanding the Big Picture In coordination with the California State University System, Delta Initiative collected information from various statewide systems on their approach for an LMS strategy. The study involved the collection of information through interviews and web-based research from a dozen systems of higher education. Our conclusion: The future of learning management has reached another crossroads in its path as a key enterprise system for higher education. This session will provide insight on the current state of the LMS vendor market, present timely research findings concerning the LMS profiles of several statewide systems, and engage the audience in a discussion of key issues encountered in the evaluation and deployment of an LMS approach on a statewide basis. Moderator: Rhonda Epper, Co-Executive Director, Learning Technology, Colorado Community College System, and Vice Chair, WCET Steering Committee Presenter: Phil Hill, Executive Vice President, Delta Initiative (IL)

    I'm not sure if they'll make a recording available after the fact, but this looks like research that's relevant (if commercially motivated) to our project.

  • Evidence-Based Practices in Online Learning: A Meta-Analysis and Review of Online Learning Studies (2009). A systematic search of the research literature from 1996 through July 2008 identified more than a thousand empirical studies of online learning. Analysts screened these studies to find those that (a) contrasted an online to a face-to-face condition, (b) measured student learning outcomes, (c) used a rigorous research design, and (d) provided adequate information to calculate an effect size. As a result of this screening, 51 independent effects were identified that could be subjected to meta-analysis.

  • Results show that E-mapping is a potentially powerful active learning tool which goes beyond developing strong reading skills and enhancing class participation. It enhances critical thinking and helps students acquire visualization skills by which they can communicate ideas using imagery.
  • It is also an assessment tool that permits instructors to gain insight into their students’ analytical and synthetic skills
  • Although the majority of students in this study recognized the benefits of E-mapping, many of them found it a time consuming approach and believed it represented too much work

  • The synthesis of the extracted effect sizes, with the support of the validation process, revealed a significant positive small to moderate effect size favoring the utilization of technology in the experimental condition over more traditional instruction (i.e., technology free) in the control group.
  • we feel that we are at a place where a shift from technology versus no technology studies to more nuanced studies comparing different conditions, both involving CBI treatments, would help the field progress
  • it appears that the second-order meta-analysis approach represents an economical means of providing an answer to big questions
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • the average student in a classroom where technology is used will perform 12 percentile points higher than the average student in the traditional setting that does not use technology to enhance the learning process
  • Thus, it is arguable that it is aspects of the goals of instruction, pedagogy, teacher effectiveness, subject matter, age level, fidelity of technology implementation, and possibly other factors that may represent more powerful influences on effect sizes than the nature of the technology intervention. It is incumbent on future researchers and primary meta-analyses to help sort out these nuances, so that computers will be used as effectively as possible to support the aims of instruction.
  • there is a growing need for a systematic and reliable methodology for synthesizing related findings
  • one of technology’s main strengths may lie in supporting students’ efforts to achieve rather than acting as a tool for delivering content.
  • each focuses on a specific question addressing particular issues and aspects of technology integration
  • intended to capture the essence
  • 25 effect sizes were extracted from 25 different meta-analyses involving 1,055 primary studies (approximately 109,700 participants)

  • A recent synthesis of more than 25 meta-analytic studies investigating the role of computer-based technologies in student learning found that the teacher may play an even greater role in students’ technology-enhanced learning than the nature of the technology intervention itself.
  • professional development programs can improve instruction when they immerse teachers in inquiry investigations
  • Inquiry investigations engage teachers in activities such as comparing alternative forms of curricula and pedagogical techniques, analyzing the range of students’ ideas in a targeted subject matter, connecting students’ ideas to specific elements of instruction, and critiquing lesson plans in a mutually supportive teacher community

    Great TED talk on teaching, learning, and (ultimately) analytics. Characteristics of better learning systems: * Competency-based, not time-based, * One level's success does drive the next, * Flexible schedules match complex lives, * Online & off-line tools in synch, * At home & in-school matching work.
