Big Data in Education. Education is increasingly occurring online or in educational software, resulting in an explosion of data that can be used to improve educational effectiveness and support basic research on learning.
In this course, you will learn how and when to use key methods for educational data mining and learning analytics on this data. You will learn about the methods being developed by researchers in the educational data mining, learning analytics, learning at scale, student modeling, and artificial intelligence in education communities, as well as standard data mining methods frequently applied to educational data. You will learn how to apply these methods, and when to apply them, as well as their strengths and weaknesses for different applications.

No longer is high quality education limited to the Ivy League—now, anyone with passion and an Internet connection can learn whatever they want, from whomever they want, for free (or at least, a low cost). Our latest infographic takes a look at how the Internet became one of the best places to get an education. Researchers using data mining to improve the online learning experience. Computer scientists are hoping data mining technology will improve online education.
A $5 million grant from the National Science Foundation will allow computer scientists at Carnegie Mellon University to begin construction of a database called LearnSphere that will act as a repository for data for researchers studying the effects on students taking online courses. LabSphere researchers are culling information from 550 datasets on subjects like interactive tutoring methodologies, games, and open online courses, called MOOCS. The data points will provide computer engineers with a decent tally of what’s working and what’s not. The objective of LearnSphere is to make online education more effective and immersive. Specialists in human-computer interaction from MIT, Stanford, and the University of Memphis are also involved in the project.

The idea was to replace fixed-value mathematics, which is characterized with an emphasis on rote learning, with variable-value mathematics, which emphasized an understanding of equations, inequalities, and ranges. As Richard Feynman wrote in the essay "New Textbooks for the 'New Mathematics" (via Wikipedia): "If we would like to, we can and do say, 'The answer is a whole number less than 9 and bigger than 6,' ...
In the 'new' mathematics, then, first there must be freedom of thought; second, we do not want to teach just words; and third, subjects should not be introduced without explaining the purpose or reason, or without giving any way in which the material could be really used to discover something interesting. " New math was hard, and it was hard for those of us living through that transition to wrap our minds around the ideas. It was also hard for our parents, who were no longer able to help us with out homework. European #MOOCs Scoreboard. MIT and Harvard release de-identified learning ... Startup Glowbl.

Cyborgs_Transhumanism. Open Education Matters Why it is important to share. Earlier this year, the US Departments of Education held a video contest asking for videos that answered the question “why does open education matter?” The top three videos are located on the Department of Education website. All the videos are well done, but the third place video caught my eye as it really emphasizes what can happen when content is shared and reused, and how it could then benefit the original creator of the content, creating the type of virtuous cycle that is possible when resources are shared.

MIT may very well be the most influential and important university on the planet right now. That’s according to Boston Magazine and shouldn’t surprise many. The school relentlessly pursues big dreams, important breakthroughs, and innovative solutions to problems.
It’s exactly what a school should be. So how does MIT approach innovation in education technology? Thanks to Tom Daccord at the EdTechTeacher iPad Summit , I heard about MIT Technology-Enhanced Active Learning (TEAL). Below is MIT’s description of some of the key projects and groups that have been formed in order to address the needs of education technology.
What Does It Take to Create Effective e-learning. Developing effective elearning requires expertise in Project Management, Computer-based Instructional Design, Multimedia Design, Instructional Technology and Quality Assurance. It is rare for a single person to have mastered all of these skill sets. Therefore, developing effective elearning often requires a team approach which leverages the unique skills of each contributor. A team approach also ensures an efficient elearning development process as each contributor can focus on their core competency rather than having to muddle through elements that they are not experts in. The following graphic highlights the five key skill sets required to develop effective elearning as well as the primary contributions of each team member. What is a scholar?
