"Experts were realizing that disciplinary expertise and research prowess were no guarantee that a professor could teach. Some colleges were devising alternatives to rote learning, helping students integrate knowledge from different subjects, or challenging them with courses on contemporary problems.

Could Video Feedback Replace the Red Pen? - Wired Campus - Blogs - The Chronicle of Higher Education - 0 views

csgirl * 17 days ago I would go nuts if I had to get my feedback on a paper via video. It is so much faster to read. When I get something back with feedback, I can go right to the comments and focus on them. Plus written comments can reference the problematic text directly, whereas in video, the instructor would have to laboriously describe the point in the text ("refer to the third sentence in the fifth paragraph on page 2") or hold the paper up to the screen and point, which might not be easy to see.

Resisting the urge to pull out your phone in class is quite difficult for many students, apparently.

Amazon Offers Up Research Money for 'Crazy' Ideas That Just Might Work - The Chronicle of Higher Education - 0 views

"A new grant program, announced on Thursday, takes aim at ugly-duckling research projects that have a big upside but are too nascent or implausible to win the attentions of federal grantmakers or venture capitalists. Amazon will provide $2 million initially for the grants, and the director of the program will be an Amazon employee, according to a legal agreement signed last spring. Individual grants will be worth anywhere from $10,000 to $100,000, said Vikram Jandhyala, the university's vice provost for innovation. The barriers for entry are purposefully low. There is no fixed application window. Anybody who works for the university, attends courses there, or is otherwise affiliated with the University of Washington is eligible to apply. The online application form asks for basic information and then a series of questions, beginning with: What's the problem, what's the solution, who will benefit, and why is now the right time to do it? The company is encouraging students and scholars of all stripes to apply, not just techies. "
