Everything you know about curriculum may be wrong. Really. « Granted, but… - 0 views

  •  
    "The educational thought experiment I wish to undertake concerns curriculum. Not the specific content of curriculum, but the idea of curriculum, what any curriculum is, regardless of subject. Like Copernicus, I propose that for the sake of better results we need to turn conventional wisdom on it is head:  let's see what results if we think of action, not knowledge, as the essence of an education; let's see what results from thinking of future ability, not knowledge of the past, as the core; let's see what follows, therefore, from thinking of content knowledge as neither the aim of curriculum nor the key building blocks of it but as the offshoot of learning to do things now and for the future."

Some pros and cons of outsourcing online education « Tony Bates - 0 views

    "The key question though is: what is your 'core' mission? Are we a teaching and learning institution, and if so, why would we contract this out to someone else? If they can do teaching and learning better than us, why are we doing it? Or is our mission to become just an accreditation agency that also does research?"

Libraries and the changing role of creators and consumers - 0 views

  • For the past two years, Catherine Mitchell, Director, Publishing, California Digital Library, has been involved in an effort to coordinate the services of the library and University Press in order to better support and manage the University of California’s scholarly output. The goal of the initiative—the University as Publisher—is to help the university reclaim its core intellectual asset (i.e., the knowledge it produces) and assert itself more powerfully in the marketplace of scholarly communication. In the process, the university shores up its values, and its value. “Despite the daunting complexity of the task, universities must take responsibility for managing their own scholarly output or risk losing control of that core intellectual capital,” she says. “If we don’t, someone else will. And it won’t be pretty. We’re talking about our institutions’ major asset. “If we miss the boat on this, we hand off opportunities to partner with our faculty around issues of intellectual property, curation and preservation standards, and transformative models of scholarly communication. We simply become the ‘buyer.’ And, we risk getting locked into untenable licensing agreements in order to gain or regain access to the very research that our own faculty are producing.”

Iimmersive software decision-making guide | ThinkBalm - 1 views

  •  
    Enterprise immersive software is a collection of collaboration, communication, and productivity tools unified via a 3D or pseudo-3D visual environment. In this computer-generated environment, one or more people engage in work activities like meetings, conferences, and learning and training. The software provides a shared, interactive, multichannel experience through presence awareness, voice chat, active speaker indication, text chat, and many other features, often including avatars. The Enterprise Immersive Software Decision-Making Guide is a use case-based guide designed to aid business decision makers in the enterprise immersive software selection process. In this report, we present "if/then" scenarios and highlight good-fit vendors for common situations, with a focus on the most prevalent use cases: meetings, conferences, and learning and training. The report offers guidance on how to: 1) ask core business questions to frame the discussion, 2) choose a research-and-demo, do-it-yourself, or combination approach, 3) identify requirements based on your use case, and 4) filter your options based on important limiters.

New Media Literacies - 0 views

  •  
    "Our Space is a set of curricular materials designed to encourage high school students to reflect on the ethical dimensions of their participation in new media environments. Through role-playing activities and reflective exercises, students are asked to consider the ethical responsibilities of other people, and whether and how they behave ethically themselves online. These issues are raised in relation to five core themes that are highly relevant online: identity, privacy, authorship and ownership, credibility, and participation. For more information, download the Introduction to Our Space [pdf], FAQ [pdf], and Road Map [pdf]. All curricular units and lessons are free and available for download below. The full casebook [pdf - 133MB] can be downloaded using the link at the bottom of the page." Critiqued by @downes for not addressing the issue properly "This is "a set of curricular materials designed to encourage high school students to reflect on the ethical dimensions of their participation in new media environments." The content divides into five major subject areas: participation, identity, privacy, credibility, and authorship and ownership. I'm not sure these are the top five things I would list when thinking of ethical dimensions of new media environments. While it's useful that there is a section on flamers, lurkers and mentors I think there should be something about hate, racism and bulling. And while a section on credibility is a good idea, it should be based on the principles of reason and inference, not outrageously bad definitions like this: "Networking-the ability to search for, synthesize, and disseminate information." And this: "Collective intelligence-evidence that participants in knowledge communities pool knowledge and compare notes with others toward a common goal." Wow, those are just wrong. Maybe I need to review this and criticize it more closely."
