  • The challenge for faculty in all business functions—and all disciplines across higher education for that matter—is staying on top of these changes and knowing what to teach in the classroom. More than ever, we must be life-long learners to stay fresh and understand these tools. From professional networking in learning communities with colleagues across the country, to seminars and conferences and building relationships with local businesses that have expertise in these areas, we have many resources at our disposal. Professors need to lead students by example by knowing the mechanics of social media and showing our students how to use them strategically for the good of their employers.

  • But like much on campus these days, ePortfolios are morphing to reflect the far-reaching trend in higher ed of relying less on technology delivered by the institution itself and more on the use of user-centric technology, including Web 2.0
  • At some point in the evolution of ePortfolios, however, those initial goals of reflection and assessment begin to feel "inauthentic, another hoop for the students to jump through,"
  • students are becoming very disengaged from [the process] of maintaining their own identities as learners."

  • So, in an adjacent classroom, a group of students wearing 3-D glasses made by Nvidia, a graphics processing firm, dissected a virtual cadaver projected on a screen. Using a computer to control the stereoscopic view, they swooped through the virtual body, its sections as brightly colored as living tissue. First, the students scrutinized layers of sinewy pink muscles layered over ivory bones. Then, with the click of a mouse, they examined a close-up of the heart, watching as deep blue veins and bright red arteries made the heart pump.

  • higher education has for centuries been in the business of aggregating information, filtering that information, and then interpreting it for students. We no longer need the first step, Bass said, because information and knowledge is in process all around us. Educators now need to help students with just the last two steps, to filter and interpret this constantly evolving volcano of information by bringing them into the conversation.
  • It is more appropriate to our age not to work with answers but with questions
  • help students create the content of the course

  • It doesn't matter what method you use if you do not first focus on one intangible factor: the bond between professor and student.
  • his job is less about being an expert imparting facts and figures, and more about being a salesman convincing students that his material is worth their attention
  • Whatever tool professors can find to conjure that—curiosity and a sense of amazing possibilities—is what they should use

  • Student materials might contain not just the commentary of the individual professor but of professors all over the world
  • Selecting and curating such enhancements to enlighten students without overwhelming them would be the responsibility of the professors.
  • books—and commentaries on books—would start to be connected in ways they aren't now
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • Colleges and professors exist, in great measure, to help "liberate" and connect the knowledge and ideas in books. We should certainly pass on to our students the ability to do this. But in the future those liberated ideas—the ones in the books (the author's words), and the ones about the books (the reader's own notes, all readers' thoughts and commentaries)—should be available with a few keystrokes. So, as counterintuitive as it may sound, eliminating physical books from college campuses would be a positive step for our 21st-century students, and, I believe, for 21st-century scholarship as well. Academics, researchers, and particularly teachers need to move to the tools of the future. Artifacts belong in museums, not in our institutions of higher learning.
