  • 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.

    Pretty cool online LaTeX editor that seems to be MUCH more intuitive than other options. Might be something we could use for having students 'enter' equations as answers so the math quizzes aren't 100% multiple choice?

    Last week at Etch, my friend and colleague Matt Jackson asked me a simple question: Is using a floppy disk as a save icon still relevant? This is something that has come up time and time again, so naturally we started to do some digging around to find a better solution.

  • Harvard reportedly spends $75,000-$150,000 building each new MOOC, most of which goes towards video production costs.
  • resourceful teachers and nonprofits like Khan Academy are still creating low-budget screencasts.
  • et, until we get the learning design right, these questions about production values are premature

  • makes little sense to convert your narrated PowerPoint into a 360 video if you’re still not sure whether students walk away having learned from the content.
  • This is where instructional designers come in
  • ven if an instructional designer can get an expert to explain a concept clearly, this sometimes has little effect on student understanding
  • students bring their own prior knowledge and misconceptions to educational media
  • ideo presents concepts in a clear, well-illustrated way, students believe they are learning, but they do not engage with the media on a deep enough level to realize that what has been presented differs from their own prior knowledge,
  • ou need a little friction in your educational media to actually modify the viewer’s understanding of the world and get the new understanding to stick
  • talk through the steps that people will need to take to apply their learning or complete an assignment
  • Relate” videos get the student to feel connected to the instructor. They seek to establish instructor presence. They also prompt students to reflect on their own prior experiences with the topic and reasons for taking the course.
  • arrate” videos share stories, anecdotes, or case studies that illustrate a concept or put the learning in context. They tap into the power of narrative to make learning sticky.
  • Demonstrate” videos illustrate how to do something in a step-by-step way.
  • “Debate” videos are perhaps the most important if you want students to actually change the way they think. These videos explicitly surface and address the misconceptions that students have about a domain and showcase competing points of view.
  • that social belonging interventions can be the key to helping students persis
  • coaching your experts to unfold their narratives in ways that will be riveting to an audience
  • A study by Columbia University School of Continuing Education found that videos in an online course that get the highest number of views have a direct connection to the course assignments
  • videos turn out best if I help the expert do four things: relate, narrate, demonstrate, and debate
  • focus on the places where people tend to make mistakes
  • gaps between novice understanding and expert knowledge
  • As the instructional designer, you should also be looking for controversies that might have surfaced about the expert’s work
  • minefields of misconceptions and asking the instructor to unpack them can yield rich pedagogical footage
  • o film a “debate” video, you can also invite someone else into the shoot—such as a colleague or a student—and have them discuss a topic with the instructor or receive feedback on a piece of work
  • alternative viewpoints or ways of doing things, you trigger higher cognitive load for viewers, but also prompt deeper engagement
  • tudents who watched a video dialogue involving alternative conceptions reported investing greater mental effort and achieved higher posttest scores than students who received a standard lecture-style presentation

OER textbooks future ELI

shared by wlampner on 07 Dec 17 - No Cached
  • Bowen is part of a team that has developed algorithms for computers to learn how to write textbooks by extracting factual information.
  • 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.’
  • just who owns the copyright if the final deliverable qualifies as a derivative work?

  • if a machine writes a textbook or other resource, who is the author?
  • 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
