    This is worth thinking about. What if we had an app where students could record their learning 'workouts' and it was social? Imagine a Brainbit similar to the Fitbit that reminded students to study for 15 minutes every hour or they could set their own goals and reply yes/no if they met the goal. They could then choose to share on FB or twitter, etc. Maybe there's a way to start thinking about the D2L Awards and the Mozilla backpack and start modeling something like this?

  • Bowen is part of a team that has developed algorithms for computers to learn how to write textbooks by extracting factual information.
  • if a machine writes a textbook or other resource, who is the author?
  • just who owns the copyright if the final deliverable qualifies as a derivative work?

  • The single most exciting aspect for him, he explains, is accessibility. The advent of free or low-cost textbooks for underserved populations — especially within STEM fields, which advance so quickly that traditional books are typically out of date the moment they’re printed — is a very exciting prospect and, as Bowen puts it, ‘a powerful idea.’
  • he platform uses intelligent algorithms that search through OER repositories and return relevant resources that can be combined, remixed, and reused in the support of specific learning goals.
  • We could even have entire learning spaces that adapt to suit the specific needs of faculty or students

    "The best way to understand learning tech people is to do a little thought experiment.   Pretend that through some Freaky Friday magic, (think Lindsay Lohan circa 2003), you wake up as a member of your campus IT organization.  (I'm assuming that you are a faculty member or future faculty member of some sort).  Everyone around you is talking about deliverables, assumptions, critical paths, constraints, dependencies and milestones.  There is a hierarchy. Demands are coming at you from all directions.  Budgets are tight and getting tighter. Those around you in IT are talented, dedicated, and often brilliant.  They are also constrained by the need to provide a 24/7/365 rock-solid infrastructure, and to so with budgets that have not grown to meet all the new demands."

  • Plug & Play project is part of a bigger effort that Pearson has been making to get more innovative. That’s especially important for the company’s education division, which makes up 70 percent of Pearson’s business and could potentially be a part of what some consider a big future area for tech growth.
  • being innovative when you’re a large, legacy business can be a challenge both internally — and externally
  • Right now it’s about innovation and partnerships because people still think of [Pearson education] as textbook publishers, but that’s not what we are.
