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.
In other words, technology for the sake of technology is never good. In the recent online seminar Learner-Centered Technology: Aligning Tools with Learning Goals, Shibley provided a roadmap for matching technological tools to course learning outcomes. Here are some of the ways technology can help satisfy the goals of a learner-centered classroom: 1. 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.
The following are our 12 fascinating insights into the power, versatility and value of e-learning. If you have any to add, we’d love to read them. 1. E-learning really can be delivered anytime, anywhere – even from space The European Space Agency delivered an e-learning session (scheduled as an “Earth-based” lecture) with a live audio/video link-up with ESA astronaut, Thomas Reiter, on board the ISS, to European university students following the EuMAS Masters Program in Aeronautics and Space. 2.
Encyclopædia Britannica, founded in 1768 at the height of the period of European history known as the “Enlightenment” has launched Britannica SmartStudy to encourage independent learning through a games-based approach to study. 3. 4. E-learning can be deployed in countless environments: from private sector to public sector; from primary schools to universities; from military to sports coaching to accountancy. 5. 6.
7 key questions to ask about ed technology, online learning - The Answer Sheet. This was written by Cathy N. 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. By Cathy N. Davidson The outcry against exploitative online for-profit education is growing at roughly the same rate as the clamor for increasing amounts of educational technology — laptops, tablets, smart boards — from preschool to life-long learning. Unfortunately, a lot of the conversation is sliding into the “pro” and “con” mode of contemporary punditry. Here are seven key questions designed to help any parent or student sort out the competing interests that currently drive technology into our schools — or keep technology out of some other schools. 1.
If online learning is being championed because it enriches knowledge, we then have to ask if it really does. . (2)What is the cost-cutting motive behind using technology? This is a less cynical variation of the profit question. . (7) Why do you want to learn online? 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.
People like David Wiley, Alec Couros, Stephen Downes and others have been running open courses since 2007 (this insidehighered article does touch on the history). But that’s a personal ego gripe. It’s good to have growing diversity in researchers and educators offering alternative course models. 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.

Rita Kop and Hélène Fournier National Research Council of Canada John Sui Fai Mak Australia Abstract This paper examines how emergent technologies could influence the design of learning environments. It will pay particular attention to the roles of educators and learners in creating networked learning experiences on massive open online courses (MOOCs). The research shows that it is possible to move from a pedagogy of abundance to a pedagogy that supports human beings in their learning through the active creation of resources and learning places by both learners and course facilitators.
This pedagogy is based on the building of connections, collaborations, and the exchange of resources between people, the building of a community of learners, and the harnessing of information flows on networks. This resonates with the notion of emergent learning as learning in which actors and system co-evolve within a MOOC and where the level of presence of actors on the MOOC influences learning outcomes.
More Than 10 eLearning Best Practices. Online participation experiences with MOOC #change11. Heli connecting ideas » Blog Archive » Research about MOOC pedagogy. Rita Kop, Helene Fournier and Sui Fai John Mak have published an article “A Pedagogy of Abundance or a Pedagogy to Support Human Beings? Participants Support on Massive Open Online Courses.” The article continues the research tradition (a short one!) Which began after CCK08. I have read every research about this topic and participated in many open courses myself, tried to describe and analyze my own learning in this blog.
I have found this a very challenging task. This newest article gathers carefully information about living in open online courses (PLENK2010 and CCK11). I am interested in why people come to participate in open online courses, what is their motivation? I should like to develop qualitative methods for virtual ethnography – methods that help to understand deeper. The Visitors and residents project is one way forward, how could I combine it with open online course behavior? 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. MITx While students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology pay thousands of dollars for courses, the university will announce a new program on Monday allowing anyone anywhere to take M.I.T. courses online free of charge — and for the first time earn official certificates for demonstrating mastery of the subjects taught. M.I.T. led the way to an era of online learning 10 years ago by posting course materials from almost all its classes.
Mr. #Change11 From Digital Pedagogy to Netagogy. What is Digital Pedagogy? (Marquis, J.) The Queensland Department of Education and Training has a very concise definition given for digital pedagogy: “Digital pedagogies establish a way of learning and working in a digital world.” 3 changes from traditional pedagogy to digital are: - Select and Combine - Distributed Authority - Social Media Objects Tensions: - Lack of * Understanding * Funding - Curriculum Requirements Solution: - Natively Digital Media - Flexible Standards - Global Connectedness Digital pedagogy surely has a huge potential, and as Marquis has highlighted in his post, the solution lies with adapting the use of media to suit the education and learning framework within an institution, especially by the use of digital media readily available, like YouTube, Flickr, and the use of flexible standards which focus on learners’ needs, whilst also meeting the curriculum requirements.
So, what might overcome some of these emergent issues? How about Netagogy? What is Netagogy? Like this: Websites for Educators.

In 2011, entrepreneurs and startup activity sprouted up everywhere. Not coincidentally, the Bay Area, New York, Boston, Austin, Portland and every college town from Abilene to Gainesville is fostering young, eager minds. The millennial generation is proving it can create companies — and thus, jobs — that solve real problems. Trends like these are quickly impacting how young people relate to and absorb education. These days, higher education is a dynamic and increasingly digital environment — and some are questioning the relevance of the traditional educational institution at all. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

By Sue Gee, i-Programmer MIT has announced an online learning initiative that will offer its courses through a new interactive learning platform that will enable students to participate in simulated labs, interact with professors and other students and earn certificates. The MITx initiative is being led by MIT Provost L. Rafael Reif. According to Provost Reif: “Students worldwide are increasingly supplementing their classroom education with a variety of online tools. Why ‘Social’ will drive growth in 2012. Time flies! 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). In this scenario, companies are fighting hard for share of customers’ wallet/spend to meet their top line/revenue growth targets at the cost of bottom line/profits. 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. We hear time and time again comments like "s collaboration is important because it emphasizes skills, team-building, and creativity that will be necessary in any student's future. " But it's hard to make such an argument stick when the nature of collaboration itself is changing. 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. The Education Betterness Manifesto « Dreams of Education.
Last year I was inspired by an excellent post written by Umair Haque on Harvard Business Review called “The Betterness Manifesto“. In it, Umair writes about building a better 21st century. I was pointed to the post originally by @ianchia who regularly cheers me on to do work that is meaningful, and was reminded of it again when Umair tweeted a link to it last week. Because I relate everything I read and experience back to education and learning, I re-wrote “The Betterness Manifesto” post as it relates to my thoughts about building a better education system. With permission from Umair, this is my Betterness Manifesto for education: So you want to build a better education, but how?
Betterness in education requires: Companies that don’t get into the business of education to push a political movement or to make a profit at the expense of our youth. It is only when each of us stand up and take responsibility that we can work toward a better educational future that impacts us all. Like this: On-Demand is the Future of Online Learning.
