    "In the end, what you assess is what you get. To improve student performance we must first acknowledge that essential intellectual abilities are not accurately reflected through conventional testing, and second, move toward more authentic systems of assessment that more meaningfully measure and represent student and teacher abilities."

    "Version 2.0 Moodle 2.0, our biggest release ever, is coming together after two years of development. It contains a huge number of core changes to the platform, most of which are designed to give 3rd party developers more flexibility, scalability and safety. The timetable is designed to deliver Moodle 2.0 in time for the new school year in the northern hemisphere and currently looks like this: * March 2010: Moodle 2.0 Beta release * April, May, June 2010: intensive beta testing and bug fixing (freeze on new features) * 1 July 2010: Moodle 2.0 production release You can track our current progress in detail on the Moodle 2.0 Planning document. Please remember that this document is frequently updated and details can change a lot! Draft release notes at Moodle 2.0 release notes. Please add notable items while they are fresh in your mind. The notes will be edited before the final release. System requirements Since Moodle 2.0 is such a major release, we are allowing ourselves some increases in the requirements. * PHP 5.2.8 is now the minimum version supported. (We are aware that several important linux distros are still shipping earlier versions like 5.2.6, but we need at least version 5.2.x for the new File API, and there are bugs in 5.2.7 and earlier that we could not work around.) This allows developers to write cleaner code using the more recent features of PHP, and will also improve user experience. * Databases should be one of the following: o MySQL 5.0.25 or later (InnoDB storage engine highly recommended) o PostgreSQL 8.3 or later o Oracle 10.2 or later o MS SQL 2005 or later * When upgrading to Moodle 2.0, you must have Moodle 1.9 or later. if you are using an earlier version of Moodle (eg 1.8.x) then you need to upgrade to Moodle 1.9.x first. New Community features * Community hub - Moodle.com Makes it easy for teachers to find other courses to download as templates fo

    A consortium of US universities got together last month and analysed Moodle 2.0.1 and, based on a number of factors, decided it was not yet ready for them. The major show-stoppers for them included: ● Grade data is purged when a student is removed from the course ● Moodle 2.0 upgrades from 1.9 often fail or require manual intervention ● Moodle 1.9 backups can not be restored to Moodle 2.0 installations. ● Administrators can no longer perform mass uploads of files to courses.

  • teaching/learning as performance and teaching/learning as text
  • perceived institutional presence — the degree to which online learners felt connected to the university — was positively related to learning outcomes, satisfaction with the course, and intent to stay in the program.
  • students in the traditional classes interacted with each other far less than those in the hybrid (Web–enhanced) classes
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • quality of interaction in online discussions, rather than quantity, may be the better predictor of student achievement
  • Interrogating the structure of learning management systems such as Blackboard brings to light the unnoticed ways in which the software frames online classroom interaction
  • Rose (2004) argued in her critique of learning management systems that the mediated tools instructors use to teach their classes are not value–free. The author lamented that “there is no acknowledgment of the fundamental transformations that must be wreaked upon content imported into platforms such as WebCT and Blackboard, nor of the fact that the very structure of these systems constrains instructional possibilities and decision–making.” [4] Like a highly bureaucratic organization, once a structure is built into a learning management system, changing the structure becomes unimaginable (Sandvig, 2006).
  • Online class discussions typically involve more student–student interaction and less instructor–student interaction. Lobel, et al. (2005) found that instructors were the center of the interaction network during in person discussions whereas the group was the center during online discussions. Blackboard’s discussion feature allows students to interact directly with each other, bypassing the instructor. However, the degree of structural flexibility in a Blackboard discussion board resides to a large extent in the decisions the instructor makes. May students attach files? May students start new discussion threads? May students post anonymously? Do they rate each other’s messages? What is the rating system?
  • What has changed is the instructor’s increased ability to track students’ use of the class Web site: number of messages posted, number of messages read, and how many times various pages or sections are accessed. Mullen (2002) argued that this type of information seems to provide an objective measure of student engagement, but in fact creates a dangerously decontextualized, essentialized image of a class in which levels of “participation” stand in for evidence of learning having taken place. Students are treated not as learners, as partners in an educational enterprise, but as users
  • “The brave new world of digital education promises greater access, increased democratic participation, and the transcendence of discrimination through pure minds. We must interrogate the actuality of these hypes: who has access, is participation online transformative, and is transcendence of difference a goal of progressive pedagogies?” [8]

  • How? Small steps, most of them logical and obvious, such as: change performance appraisal guidelines so that knowledge sharing is taken into consideration find out about someone’s knowledge sharing habits not by checking the amount of posts on the intranet but by asking their peers (check for quality of contributions and willingness to help, for example) use knowledge audit questionnaires and interviews to gather data (obviously!) and to, simultaneously, emphasise the behaviours expected from staff have idea banks but make the idea cycle completely open and transparent so that ideas are owned and worked on by all those interested review the way the organisation rewards and recognises new ideas, new business, good results, etc..

  • learning from experience and discourse
  • authentic problems and collaborate
  • These kinds of designs are excellent for learning discrete bits of information, practicing simple and basic behaviors, building complex psychomotor skills, and learning to use applications or processes that require a narrow, prescriptive approach
  • ...21 more annotations...
  • instruction that attempts to control the learner’s responses and environment
  • acquisition
  • learning goal is enculturation
  • Enculturation results from interactions among people, objects, and culture in a collective effort to solve problems, create products, or perform service
  • Carrying on a dialogue tells the student that she/he is an equal member of the community.
  • Conversation, discourse, talking, chat, dialogue, exchange, banter, discussion, communication, dissertation, critique, and exposition
  • The activation of discourse is everything
  • applicable to their needs when they need them, motivating learning
  • This convergence of tools, practice, and theory enables teachers and students to discuss, plan, create, and implement unique strategies for providing instruction within a unique environment.
  • enablers
  • Learners are collaborators in the learning process and have an equal role in setting goals.
  • They make most of the decisions related to what to learn, how to study, and which resources to use.
  • Teachers pass on information to the learner. The clearer the information the more the learner will acquire.
  • Evaluation is a critical strategy within traditional learning environments
  • Teachers focus on interacting at a metacognitive level with the learners. They help students analyze their learning deficits through questioning.
  • Insufficient learning or failure
  • Tools enable learners to contribute to the community.
  • learners who want to learn what they need as fast as they can to apply within their community of practice
  • Tools are not objects of instruction.

shared by Lyn Collins on 31 Jan 13 - No Cached
  • As we all know, learning is a fluid process that happens all the time, and there are many more metrics and much more data to capture regarding a learner’s experience which can inform and provide context to his or her learning environment.
  • TinCan adapts the same logic to generate statements as and when an activity or action is performed by the learner. It creates statements in the form of ‘noun, verb, object’ – like a language – and stores them in a Learning Record Store (LRS) that can exist independently of an LMS.
