The Top 3 Trends in e-Learning for Generation Z. The MOOC Guide. Massive Open Online Courses Are Multiplying at a Rapid Pace. That’s what everyone is trying to figure out. Many places offer MOOCs, and more will. But Coursera, Udacity and edX are defining the form as they develop their brands. Coursera casts itself as a “hub” — Dr.
Evaluación de Productos Multimediales Didácticos — OCW-UNED. La evaluación de producciones audiovisuales siempre ha sido tema de análisis debido, entre otras posibles causas, a los diferentes enfoques desde los que se aborda, o bien, por la carencia de criterios objetivos e integrales para el análisis de estos materiales.
Tecnologías de Aprendizaje Distribuido y Compartido — OCW-UNED. Facilitating Online. Empresas buscan grado técnico y experiencia. Los empleadores tienen con frecuencia dificultades para dar con los candidatos que llenen las plazas a falta de “experiencia y habilidades técnicas”.
Un estudio de la bolsa de empleo Manpower reveló que 190 de 614 empleadores consultados manifestaron dificultad para encontrar talento adecuado en los jóvenes que buscan trabajo. El empleador requiere dar con muchachos que posean algún grado técnico y que conozcan el mercado laboral. “Es necesario que los jóvenes sugieran habilidades diferentes al resto del grupo, porque un título no les garantiza empleo”, añadió Eric Quesada, gerente de Manpower. Dadas estas condiciones, muchos centros de estudio aseguran ofrecer más que un título. Ignacio Trejos, rector de la Universidad Cenfotec, aseguró, por ejemplo, que sus planes de estudio están diseñados para estimular la habilidad emprendedora.
Formación técnica acelera entrada a competencia laboral. El mercado de trabajo se mueve de forma constante y sorprende a los jóvenes con cambios repentinos.
En ese sube y baja, las instituciones parauniversitarias se convierten en una opción para meterse más rápido a competir. MOOC's Take a Major Step Toward College Credit - Technology. By Jeffrey R.
Young The American Council on Education has agreed to review a handful of free online courses offered by elite universities and may recommend that other colleges grant credit for them. The move could lead to a world in which many students graduate from traditional colleges faster by taking self-guided courses on the side, taught free by professors from Stanford University, the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, and other well-known colleges. What Can We Learn From USV's "Research" into Online Education.
Union Square Ventures, a New York City-based venture capital firm, announced yesterday that it was opening up its research and sharing some of its hypotheses about tech startup markets and by extension its investment-making decisions.
Kudos to USV because as is the case in many, many sectors, there are plenty of folks who argue that you must keep this sort of knowledge locked up and proprietary. Of course, the investment firm already bucks the propensity towards “closed” with the prolific blogging of partner Fred Wilson, whose AVC blog offers insights into the business of technology startups. At Stanford, scholars debate the promises, pitfalls of online learning. By R.F.
MacKay L.A. Cicero Now is the time for innovation in online learning, scholar William Bowen told the Stanford audience. For the first time in centuries, university administrators and intellectuals are seriously questioning the logic of how we teach and learn, and for the first time, we may actually have the technology to shift the education paradigm. Can an Online Degree Really Help You Get a Job? The University of Phoenix, the largest for-profit school in the country, has been around since 1976.
It has 328,000 students currently enrolled and an estimated 700,000 alumni. It offers more than 100 degree programs at the associate, bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral levels. As of 2010 it had more than 8,000 recruiters on staff. But until very recently it had no career-counseling service for its graduating students. That’s finally changed with the school’s new “Let’s Get to Work” initiative announced late last month: a series of online tools designed to help students figure out early on what jobs might be good for them, what employers in those fields are looking for and what skills students need to get the job.

Educational technology news has been all a-flutter over the last few months about the work that Coursera is doing to bring higher education into the open. But I tell you what: I signed up for one of their classes — a course on Science Fiction and Fantasy from the University of Michigan — only to discover something really startling. Really: startling. For six years, I worked at the Community Colleges of Colorado Online (CCCO), a personnel-challenged, entirely adjunct endeavor that provides online courses to all thirteen community colleges in the state. Three of those six years, I was Program Chair for the English Department. Granted, I’ve only gotten a glance at what Coursera is doing; nonetheless, they appear to be offering the same brand of content that CCCO offered a decade ago — but without the innovations and interactivity available when I left the school. Something seems to be very wrong. RIED - Cursos en Línea.
