How Will IoT Change the Education Sphere? | Emerging Education Technologies - 0 views

  • According to a research study, “IoT in Education Market” by MarketsandMarkets, the global market size is expected to “grow from $4.8 billion in 2018 to $11.3 billion by 2023.”
  • Personalized Learning One of the biggest hurdles with the typical education system is the lack of flexibility in the course work. The course is the same for each and every student. The human-to-human interaction in a classroom space is collective and does not take into account the individual pace and needs of the student. Building on the idea of Big Data collection, with IoT each student can be evaluated and monitored on an individual basis. Weaker students may be granted a modified course work that caters to them individually to bring them up to speed. On top of that, the aggregate data can guide the instructors to modify the coursework on the go depending on the collective class needs.
  • More Human-to-Machine Interaction

  • Thus IoT has the potential to not only save time and physical resources, but also human resources all the while maintaining a better standard of teaching.
  • Financing Issues Financing is another hurdle. Government expenditure on Education is already stretched to its limit in most countries around the world. Plus, education isn’t really the sector that sees significant improvement in budget increase every fiscal year. It is general knowledge that education is kept on the back burner since it is not the topic that wins votes. Information Technology hardware can be expensive and IoT infrastructure can demands a lot of it. To implement IoT, either government or private investments may need to subsidize it.

Lecture capture takes a leap forward in higher education - 0 views

  • Higher education institutions are increasingly using lecture capture to help their students, according to a 2018 State of Video in Education report from Kaltura. There was a 21% increase in lecture capture use by institutions over the last two years, up from 65% in 2016 to 79% this year. Lecture capture doesn’t just take place in standard lecture halls too, with 10% of all those responding saying they already capture over half of all classes, wherever they take place, and 31% keen to follow their lead. Overall, 88% of respondents across higher education and K-12 (primary/secondary schools) already use lecture capture tools or intend to in the future.
  • The use of video by students for assignments is on the rise, at 69% this year, up from 59% in 2017. Video feedback on student assignments is also growing and is now used by more than a third of institutions (35%) – up from 27% last year – perhaps due to the growth in remote learning.
  • Closed captions are in use at over half (52%) of institutions today, while 34% use interactive video quizzes to help students learn more effectively. Mobile apps that make it easy for students to watch videos on the move, or offline, are used by 39% of institutions, and a further 53% are eager to add this capability.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • 21% report that over half of their students are involved in creating (as opposed to simply watching) video; among higher education respondents, the figure is a little lower at 15%.
  • Digital literacy remains high on the agenda as a critical skill for today’s students in an era of fake news and 95% view video as an important part of digital literacy; 97% feel it is important to continue to raise the level of digital and video literacy among both teachers and students. The good news is that 83% of students are already considered to be highly digitally literate, with teachers snapping at their heels with 78%.
  • 97% think that interactive videos, which encourage engagement and help students to learn, will be important; similarly, 97% anticipate that self-paced curricula and personalised learning paths will be of considerable value to many students; and 94% see predictive analytics as a game changer in education
  • The study also found that video has a positive impact on student achievements (84%), on increasing educator collaboration and professional development (83%), and on streamlining the onboarding process for new students (80%).

The future of college education: Students for life, computer advisers and campuses ever... - 0 views

  • “We are living in an incredible age for learning, when there’s so much knowledge available, that one would think that this is good news for higher education,” Bryan Alexander told me recently. Alexander writes often about the future of higher education and is finishing a book on the subject for Johns Hopkins University Press. “Yet we’ve seen enrollment in higher education drop for six consecutive years.”
  • In 2015, Georgia Tech formed a commission on the future of higher education, and its 48 members were asked to imagine what a public research institution might look like in 2040.
  • The primary recommendation of the Georgia Tech report is that the university turn itself into a venue for lifelong learning that allows students to “associate rather than enroll.” Such a system would provide easy entry and exit points into the university and imagines a future in which students take courses either online or face-to-face
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • The commission outlines a scenario in which artificial intelligence and virtual tutors help advise students about selecting courses, navigating difficult classes and finding the best career options.
  • A distributed presence around the world. Colleges and universities operate campuses and require students to come to them. In the past couple of decades, online education has grown substantially, but for the most part, higher education is still about face-to-face interactions. Georgia Tech imagines a future in which the two worlds are blended in what it calls the “atrium” — essentially storefronts that share space with entrepreneurs and become gathering places for students and alumni. In these spaces, visiting faculty might conduct master classes, online students could gather to complete project work or alumni might work on an invention.

Research: Video Usage in Ed Continues Ramp-up -- Campus Technology - 0 views

  • When it comes to the use of video in education, the over-riding theme — as we might expect — is more, more, more
  • 58 percent of colleges are running flipped classes, up from 50 percent last year. Lecture capture has grown by five percentage points to 77 percent and webcasting has gone up by four percentage points to 51 percent over the same period.
  • In K-12, 87 percent of schools are using video in the classroom, compared to 86 percent in higher ed
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • This year found a majority of respondents in higher ed (52 percent) integrating their video into their learning management system (LMS); that was only 46 percent last year.
  • Those results come out of the latest edition of "The State of Video in Education," produced by Kaltura, a company that sells video products and services. This 2016 survey received responses from more than 1,500 international respondents to an online survey conducted in April among people in both higher education (74 percent) and K-12 (19 percent)
  • How higher education is using video: 86 percent of respondents said they show video in classes; 79 percent said they use it as supplementary course material; 77 percent reported using video or lecture capture; 75 percent told researchers they use video for student assignments; and 66 percent said they use it for recording campus events for on-demand viewing
  • The optimal length for educational videos is 10 minutes or shorter, according to 74 percent of participants
  • The use of video to provide feedback on school work is gaining in popularity, up from 26 percent in 2015 to 32 percent this year
  • The most valued video feature is a "chapter" function, which enables a video to be parsed into more "browseable" chunks, mentioned by 85 percent of respondents as either "extremely useful" or "very useful." That's followed by closed captioning, referenced by 82 percent of respondents.
  • The video functionality of the future that sparked the most interest among people was the ability to grade quizzes inside videos (chosen by 41 percent of respondents), followed by student video broadcast from mobile phones (36 percent) and videos that branch to other videos based on in-video action (35 percent).

Want to Make Students Happier with Learning? Use More Video -- Campus Technology - 1 views

  • The majority of people in education believe that video usage on campus increases student satisfaction with their learning experiences; more than nine in 10 respondents (92 percent) said just that to a recent research project on the topic. The survey was done by Kaltura,
  • the results show a particular bias: The survey was taken online by those who are "prone to a positive attitude toward video" in education. Respondents consisted of 1,500 " educational professionals, staff, technologists and students," with two-thirds in higher education. Just about three-quarters (74 percent) are based in North America.

Applying Technology in Physical Education Class: Lots of Possibilities | Emerging Educa... - 0 views

  • Video Resources As a result of advancements in technology and faster internet becoming available today, it is now possible to stream videos on YouTube and Vimeo. Physical education teachers can take advantage of this and recommend workout videos to students, as well as other types of content which provide useful demonstrations for skill development. Whether they are dance or yoga videos, students may become so entranced with some YouTube channels that follow them, encouraging them to do even more than the teacher asks. No matter the level of the class, teachers will be able to find age-appropriate videos to share. Last, but most certainly not least, PE teachers can consider flipping their classes with the help of videos they make demonstrating technique, freeing up time for more application and review in class!

  • 1. Human relationships are so much more important than the technology
  • 2. Technology alone will never revolutionize education
  • Education is changing (albeit slowly) whether we agree with the changes or not, and you can either learn to change or gradually get pushed aside Change keeps coming. I know that significant changes in education occur at a snail's pace, but that may be a blessing. Yet things do change. For example, Western Governors University has been delivering Competency Based Education for decades. That's a big deal in the world of higher ed. We all know that online learning is more embraced year over year. Flipped Learning continues to spread and be embraced. Change is happening. Don't ignore it. We tell kids that they need to embrace life long learning. So do we. And administrators at all levels need to stay informed and be part of the conversation as we think about and plan for tomorrow.

3 Key Takeaways from the State of Video in Education Report - EdTech - 0 views

  • Watching Netflix isn’t the only way higher ed students consume video. It’s also become a regular part of their educations. Kaltura’s The State of Video in Education 2017 report reveals that 99 percent of institutions have teachers who are regularly incorporating video into their curricula. “Today’s students expect to learn with the help of video, while prospective employers expect them to leave education with the skills necessary to participate in a digital culture,” reads the report. From lecture capture to in-class assignments, universities are increasingly looking for new ways to make use of video.

Online Learning Outcomes Equivalent to Traditional Methods, Study Finds -- Campus Techn... - 0 views

  • Interactive learning online (ILO) produces essentially the same outcomes as traditional face-to-face education at the university level, according to a recent report from Ithaka S+R. The report, "Interactive Learning Online at Public Universities: Evidence from Randomized Tests," suggested that educational institutions looking to reduce costs in the face of shrinking budgets can confidently turn to online education as a means of saving money without diminishing educational outcomes.

12 Emerging Educational Uses of Technology That are the Most Exciting Right Now - Emerg... - 1 views

  • The Flipped Classroom continues to emerge as one of the most exciting grassroots movements in the academic world. Teachers all across the world are trying it and loving it. Make no mistake, the flipped classroom is no “trend” – it is a clear reflection of how technology truly can be a powerful tool for educators who are inspired to do the very best by their students
  • Social Learning in Online Courses I truly believe that better incorporation of social learning is vital to making online learning more engaging. Many online programs struggle to attain retention rates similar to most in-seat programs. One of the elements generally lacking in online learning (but natural to the face-to-face classroom) is a healthy level of social interaction. When online teachers make the effort to build social interaction into the digital classroom, they create multiple opportunities to enhance engagement and improve learning outcomes.
  • Tools to Embed Questions in Videos Admittedly, this is not the kind of game changing ed tech idea that others on this list are, but I still think it is worth noting. Over the last year, EdPuzzle, EduCanon, and Zaption are a few of the tools that I have seen mentioned over and over in the ed tech social media over the last year. This capability has just ‘blown up’ over the last year or so, getting a lot of attention, and for good reason

7 Advantages Digital Assessments Have over Paper Tests and Exams | Emerging Education T... - 0 views

  • In 2014, the Florida Department of Education gave a survey to students after taking end-of-course evaluations. The results showed that more students preferred computer tests over paper (53% of the students agreed to that statement). Another study in 2017 Saudi published in the International Journal of Information and Education Technology presented the opposite result. Here, only 42.5% prefer online over paper exam, which is still a considerable portion of the survey population. But while that may be the case, 77.5% of the total examinees liked the fact that they are able to receive results and feedback automatically after taking the test.
  • Below are 7 reasons to consider when deciding whether to incorporate online methods to your teaching and evaluation, from the perspective of students.

Lecture capture: watch and learn - Installation - 1 views

  • Today’s students are intimately connected to the latest technology and gadgets and use them constantly. Their familiarity, combined with an innate and intuitive ability to control it, means that not only do they use video and audio communication for their own social communication but expect it to be present in all aspects of their lives. This expectation extends to the provision of learning services, particularly at higher levels; with the current high cost of educational services, prospective students demand sophisticated and effective use of technology at universities to elevate their education experience. They choose their university on a number of factors, with technology and modern teaching methodologies rating highly in that decision. Universities that fail to meet their expectations are ignored as students vote with their feet and select another establishment.
  • The process of recording classes and other live sessions, generally referred to as lecture capture, features highly on the lists of students’ criteria during that assessment. While still a relatively young technology compared with others in the AV world, it has rapidly gained acceptance in the academic sector, proving its ability to aid the educational process and rapidly penetrating the industry
  • Early reticence to deploy and use lecture capture systems has largely abated. Fears that students would skip lectures if there were to be a recording available online later, and lecturers’ concerns over job security once their classes had been recorded, were generally unfounded. Instead the system has stimulated new methods of teaching, including that of ‘flipping’,
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • This allows them to concentrate on the delivered speech rather than on note-taking, and has greatly improved understanding. Lecture capture systems are often used in preparing the recordings to be used in lecture flipping
  • “The market is becoming mature, not necessarily in terms of current installations but certainly with the numbers of universities that have a plan in place to roll out capture to all rooms. Many universities have a policy of recording all lessons and lectures and it is being implemented widely. Some universities automatically schedule recordings along with the lecture timetable
  • The use of video capture solutions to record classes as well as enable lecturers to create their own supplemental videos requires robust technology.
  • The lecture capture system should be automated, allowing faculty or campus IT staff the ability to easily schedule recordings. A lecturer may also want to record a video prior to class in an empty classroom or right from the comfort of his or her home or office.
  • “The success of lecture capture is influenced by the user experience of the student and also by the user experience of the teacher,” points out Robert de Jong, director of product marketing EMEA at Vaddio.
  • Handling many simultaneous camera feeds on a network can also present problems. “Some universities are starting to install IP cameras as they are fast coming down in price,” says Mark Rogers, product manager, Datapath
  • Lecture capture is almost becoming a victim of its own success,” continues Lipps. “Students nowadays are demanding it in all their classes and will often stop a lecturer to point out if the system is not recording. The result is that it is becoming an essential piece of equipment in all active lecture rooms. A large university may have 500 rooms but it is not economically viable to put top-of-the-range equipment in all of them. However with the right video platform, there will be hardware and software capture options that make sure lecture capture can be included in as many classrooms as possible.”

Lecture capture: software and hardware collaboration - Installation - 1 views

  • Panopto’s third generation capture tools record from virtually any video or audio device that can be plugged into a laptop and can capture and play multiple simultaneous video feeds, slides, images and screen recordings.
  • However, the choice of lecture capture software is affected by the selection of hardware, and this can be a problem. As Dean Offord, European sales engineer for Panasonic Business, points out: “At the moment compatibility between software and hardware is not as universal as vendors of either would like. Simple integration is incredibly important within AV. That is why Panasonic ProAV has recently developed the new Virtual USB driver to configure the Panasonic PTZ line-up with popular lecture capture systems over IP with a single Cat5e or Cat6 for high-definition capture
  • Collaborations between lecture capture hardware and software companies are a great way to offer a full systems package to educational institutions, giving peace of mind of a reliable and high quality system.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • The benefit to users lies in simplicity of operation. Phil Waterhouse, business development manager for education at Crestron UK, says: “Some of the partnerships are working very well; it means installing and programming is not as difficult. Crestron and Panopto, for example, have a partnership that means a simple-to-use interface is readily available
  • “Collaboration enables solutions in which the sum greatly exceeds the parts. Universities and colleges of higher education are obliged to provide text transcripts of videos for hearing-impaired students. Automated search features are also essential, allowing students to quickly access specific parts of a lecture. Students will only use a small section of a lecture during revision so it is essential that they can reach the relevant part quickly, without having to scan the whole video. Traditionally, preparation of captions involves people listening to the soundtrack and typing. Advanced speech-to-text software automates this process, reducing the cost of production massively – from around $1 per minute to less than two cents.”
  • There is huge potential for the technology to be able to offer collaborative learning in a way that currently can’t be done due to video transmission latency and limited bandwidth. At the moment universities have successfully deployed lecture capture, storage and playback systems but in the future they are likely to move more towards distributed classrooms, huddle spaces, cross-campus collaboration and more interactivity between remote groups of students and teachers.

For better edtech purchasing, ask these 4 crucial questions - 0 views

  • Howard said that for developers, it’s not about whether the product can address a learning goal, but whether it can address variable learning goals. One strength of edtech is the ability to help teachers provide differentiated lessons, and Howard said the best edtech can be used for students at various stages and across a variety of abilities.
  • “How might tech support educators’ ability to differentiate learning in the classroom?”
  • Furman said he looks for third-party reviews, especially from classroom teachers, before he brings any tools to his teachers for testing. Howard encouraged educators to ask for documented and validated positive learning outcomes with students. Noakes added that most educators want to see results from a third-party evaluation because they don’t trust research run and validated by the publisher.

  • Data analytics and adaptive technologies, while still emerging in K–12 education, could help educators overcome barriers and accelerate innovation, the report says.
  • Schools have been collecting student data for many years. However, the human process of sifting through mounds of data is tedious and inefficient. Data analytics has shifted this workload from educators to algorithms, freeing up time for teachers to support student needs and giving them more meaningful insights into what those need may be.
  • Similarly, adaptive technologies are able to monitor and adjust to student learning in the moment, catching and helping students when they exhibit a wobbly conceptual understanding of competencies and advancing them to more challenging content as soon as they have met learning objectives.
