Learning happens when a correct response is demonstrated following the presentation of a specific environmental stimulus Learning can be detected by observing an organism over a period of time Emphasis is on observable and measurable behaviors Uses a "black box" metaphor - the learner is a black box, what happens inside is unknown Emphasis is on relationships between environmental variables and behavior Instruction utilizes consequences and reinforcement of learned behaviors Believes behavior is guided by purpose Cues are antecedents to behavior and set the conditions for its occurence Learning is a change of knowledge state Knowledge acquisition is described as a mental activity that entails internal coding and structuring by the learner Learner is viewed as an active participant in the learning process Emphasis is on the building blocks of knowledge (e.g. identifying prerequisite relationships of content) Focus is on how learners remember, retrieve, and store information in memory.
Virtual University. The Virtual University Models and messages Lessons from case studies Susan D'Antoni, editor Introduction Information and Communication Technology (ICT) offers the university both an opportunity and a challenge. By using ICT the university can provide increased flexibility to students while reaching students beyond the usual catchment area. However, institutions need to develop and apply appropriate policies, and to plan and manage effectively for a new mode of teaching and learning. The virtual university warrants examination as it represents an important development in the use of ICT to increase flexibility and extend provision of higher education in both developed and developing countries. One of the ways of examining change in higher education is to put a number of institutions under a microscope by means of case studies, and this has proved a fruitful approach.
The case studies are the heart of this publication and they were designed to speak for themselves. DDN Headline: Thwarted innovation: what happened to e-learning and why. Connectivism: Learning as Network-Creation. Connectivism: Learning as Network-Creation August 10, 2005 George Siemens A printable, MS Word verion of this article is available here. Discussion and additional resources can be found at www.connectivism.ca Abstract Existing theories of a particular subject matter are typically revised and adjusted to reflect changing environments. Introduction "Knowledge is of two kinds. Our metaphors of learning have become tired and worn. Underlying each theory is a deeper ideology and worldview. Something is missing in this debate. A caution to readers: most papers are intended to allow the author to express what he knows or has come to understand. What is a network? The beauty of networks is their inherent simplicity. Various factors influence the capacity of nodes to form connections.
The information system underlying network creation includes: Types of Nodes Virtually any element that we can scrutinize or experience can become node. Nodes are characterized by a general sense of autonomy. Conference Blog - Towards a learning society. Bienvenue sur Cognitivo2.
