Not All Online Students Are the Same: A Summary of Stanford's MOOC User Study - moocnew... - 0 views

  •  
    Different tracks online students take with MOOCs e.g. do the bits which clear up the muddy points in the topic, take the course because the professor is famous, want to find out what MOOCs are like etc. These are the students lumped together as 'drop-outs' and unpacking their experience shows useful learning takes place, but they don't complete the course.

Online study kills uni life - technology | Stuff.co.nz - 1 views

  • only 56 per cent of 721 students who used web-based learning attended lectures often.
    • Stephen Harlow
       
      The cited study failed to mention that of those 56%, "75.3% indicated this was because they 'couldn't attend'."--A sin of omission?
  •  
    "The push towards web-based learning at universities has halved student attendance rates in some courses and dramatically increased working hours for lecturers, a survey of academics has found." Oh dear!

Why the current professional development model is broken - 1 views

  • Professional development departments in most universities and colleges are staffed by faculty (who themselves may have had no formal training in teaching) who are nevertheless outstanding classroom teachers. While they may provide inspiration for classroom teachers, they are often at best indifferent and at worst hostile to online learning. Indeed professional development units are often separately organized from learning technology support units, and it is the latter who are often called upon to provide professional development workshops for online learning, but with a heavy focus on using technology to support classroom teaching rather than on the re-design of teaching to develop the potential of new technologies.
