Учителей некому и нечем учить - Общество МК. How Technology Can Improve Learner-Centered Teaching. For faculty looking to create a more learner-centered environment there are always a few bumps in the road.
First they need to get used to no longer being the “sage on the stage” and then there’s the adjustment period for students who aren’t used to being active participants in their learning. In many ways, technology can help pave the way for both faculty and students, but only if the instructor “is adept at creating a course that capitalizes on the pedagogical benefits that technology facilitates in helping students meet the desired learning outcomes for the course,” said Ike Shibley, associate professor of chemistry at Penn State – Berks. E-learning in 2011: a retrospective. Stanford's open courses raise questions about true value of elite education. In November, Wolfram Burgard, a professor of computer science at the University of Freiburg, in Germany, administered an online midterm exam for a course in artificial intelligence to 54 students.
The test-takers sat in the lecture hall, spaced at least a meter apart, with proctors roaming the aisles to make sure nobody was looking up clues or chatting online with co-conspirators. The students were from all over. Some were enrolled at Freiburg, some at the Technical University of Munich, some at the University of Hamburg, and several from outside Germany. Most were hoping to get credit for the course at their home universities, which meant they would have to return to Freiburg in mid-December to take a proctored final exam; no small chore for a pair visiting from Paris, and the one who had flown in from Finland, a distance of 1,500 miles.
“I think it goes a step further [than many existing open courseware projects],” says Thrun. Stanford’s project takes aim at more advanced courses. 12 Curios of e-learning - Eight Interactive. In the spirit of the festive season we bring to you … the 12 curios of e-learning.

Davidson, a Duke professor and author of Now You See It: How the Brain Science of Attention Will Transform the Way We Live, Work, and Learn. Khan and AI: Open Online Courses. I just listened to a great video discussion – Khan Academy and Stanford AI Class: Reinventing Education – with Peter Norvig, Sebastian Thrun, and Sal Khan.
It’s a candid discussion of what each of these educators wanted to achieve with opening up their courses and content and some of the challenges they faced in the process. Most importantly, they (particularly Sebastian) discuss where they were wrong in their previous assumptions about learning. I’ve been a bit frustrated in the past (actually, I still am) that the history of open courses has not been fully reflected in conversation about the Stanford AI class. News archive » 2011 » Guidelines for OER in Higher Education institutions. UNESCO and the Commonwealth of Learning (COL) have recently published a set of guidelines for the use of Open Educational Resources (OER) in higher education.
This important document outlines in a concise format the key issues, and provides advice on the integration of OER . The UNESCO/ COL Guidelines on Open Educational Resources in Higher Education were launched at the UNESCO General Conference in Paris, France earlier this month, together with the UNESCO OER Platform. The open nature of OERs provides UNESCO Member States with a strategic opportunity to ensure greater access to quality learning and teaching resources at all levels of education. This publication aims to encourage decision makers in governments and institutions to invest in the adaptation and use of OER, to ultimately improve the quality of curricula and teaching and to reduce costs. The motivation for this publication came from the 2009 World Conference on Higher Education.

MIT Now Granting Official Certificates For Their Free Online Courses. This is big. M.I.T., the hub of education and technology where innovations seem to happen on an hourly basis… has just unveiled the future of online education. Basically, you can now earn official credits toward an M.I.T. certificate by taking their free and online courses. The school is calling the program “MITx” reminiscent of TEDx. I wouldn’t be surprised if the trend-setting M.I.T. pushes brick-and-mortar schools to also grant official certifications to those that can demonstrate a mastery of the subjects being taught online.

Rafael Reif. According to Provost Reif: “Students worldwide are increasingly supplementing their classroom education with a variety of online tools.

Here we are just a day before Christmas and looking back at 2011, I cannot help but wonder at the amazing speed with which the year flew by! 2011 will be remembered for the effective role Social Media played in activist movements across the globe. Looking at the future, one can see dark clouds on economic horizon given the debt and deficit crisis in Europe and North America. Consumer spending, which has driven economic growth for past several decades given easy availability of inexpensive credit, is drying up as consumers are reluctant to spend given the economic and political uncertainty.
As a result, economic growth is almost 0% if not negative and with rising inflation, there is real risk of dreaded ‘stagflation‘ (economic stagnation with high inflation resulting in stubborn high unemployment). 10 Ways to Use Social Media for Professional Development. Where the Future Lies. Responding to Durff's Blog In a post today I summarized Bill Cushard in Mindflash as follows: If I had to summarize the best advice I could give to e-learning developers, it would be this: "here are two key lessons for learning professionals: 1. Adapt to the on-demand world. 2. Embed learning into the context of people’s work. " I also pointed to the resistance against these two trends common in the industry. I would suggest that some of the sentiments expressed in this post are the cause of such resistance. Collaboration brings people together, usually at a set place and/or time. People often talk as though the alternative to collaboration is working completely on one's own.
That's the basis behind network learning (though you have to look at it a bit more deeply than surface observations (following Cluetrain) that 'learning is a conversation'. This has nothing to do with "respond to accelerating global competition," etc., Kanuka notwithstanding. The Education Betterness Manifesto « Dreams of Education.
