The Gamification of Learning and Instruction: Game-based Methods and ... - Karl M. Kapp - Google Books. In 2012, the biggest changes on the Web were in online education, social networks, and the increasing use of smartphones and tablets. Live and learn: Everybody went mobile in 2012 (or so it seemed), but the most groundbreaking movement on the Web may have been the rise of digital education. For all the attention lavished on the Web’s growth on mobile devices this year, one of the most interesting Internet trends is still best experienced on a desktop computer: online education.

The rising cost of higher education (the average bachelor’s degree now costs more than $100,000), combined with increasing access to high-speed Internet service and a desire for more efficient and flexible learning methods, brought new prominence to websites offering free or low-priced courses in everything from programming to literature. Free online code-learning startup Codecademy’s effort to teach novices to code snagged more than 400,000 participants for its weekly lessons in JavaScript, HTML, and CSS.

Another segment of the Web that experienced major changes in 2012 was social networking. François Taddéi : "Les élèves doivent contribuer à produire des connaissances". Emerging Perspectives on Learning, Teaching and Technology. Connectivism: A Learning Theory for the Digital Age. Connectivism: A Learning Theory for the Digital Age December 12, 2004 George Siemens Update (April 5, 2005): I've added a website to explore this concept at www.connectivism.ca Introduction Behaviorism, cognitivism, and constructivism are the three broad learning theories most often utilized in the creation of instructional environments.

Learners as little as forty years ago would complete the required schooling and enter a career that would often last a lifetime. “One of the most persuasive factors is the shrinking half-life of knowledge. Some significant trends in learning: Many learners will move into a variety of different, possibly unrelated fields over the course of their lifetime. Background Driscoll (2000) defines learning as “a persisting change in human performance or performance potential…[which] must come about as a result of the learner’s experience and interaction with the world” (p.11).

Driscoll (2000, p14-17) explores some of the complexities of defining learning. Conclusion: Connectivism. Clarissa Davis, Earl Edmunds, Vivian Kelly-Bateman Department of Educational Psychology and Instructional Technology, University of Georgia Review of Connectivism Introduction Just like anything else that involves human experience or interaction, the act of learning does not happen in a vacuum. It is at the intersection of prior knowledge, experience, perception, reality, comprehension, and flexibility that learning occurs.

In years past, the traditional learning paradigms of behaviorism, cognitivism, and constructivism have been the benchmarks against which the learning process has been measured. If you would like a quick introduction to connectionism, try looking at networked student in plain English video. Half-Life of Knowledge New technology forces the 21st century learner to process and apply information in a very different way and at a very different pace from any other time in history.

Connectivism. Shortcut to the Future - The Leading Resource for Pioneers of the Future. Why Learning Through Social Networks Is The Future. By Paul Moss, edmerger.com Students Need Professional Learning Networks, Too Learning to create, manage and promote a professional learning network (PLN) will soon become, if it’s not already, one of the most necessary and sought after skills for a global citizen, and as such, must become a prominent feature of any school curriculum. Few progressive educationalists would argue that a personal learning network (PLN) is not incredibly valuable and important.

Passionate advocates including Murray, Whitby, and Sheninger lead with clarity in such discussions. However presently, few discussions and promotions of PLN’s venture further than lauding specific benefits for teachers. Establishing a PLN seems simple enough on the surface, but to do it successfully and optimize its potential contains within in it a challenging and vigorous set of learning opportunities. 1. To curate or not to curate – that is actually not the question. 2. Successful managers are those who are able to: 3. Learning high-performance tasks with no conscious effort may soon be possible (w/ video) (Medical Xpress) -- New research published today in the journal Science suggests it may be possible to use brain technology to learn to play a piano, reduce mental stress or hit a curve ball with little or no conscious effort. It's the kind of thing seen in Hollywood's "Matrix" franchise. Experiments conducted at Boston University (BU) and ATR Computational Neuroscience Laboratories in Kyoto, Japan, recently demonstrated that through a person's visual cortex, researchers could use decoded functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to induce brain activity patterns to match a previously known target state and thereby improve performance on visual tasks.

Think of a person watching a computer screen and having his or her brain patterns modified to match those of a high-performing athlete or modified to recuperate from an accident or disease. Though preliminary, researchers say such possibilities may exist in the future. The finding brings up an inevitable question. Eduquer au XXIe siècle.

Entre 1900 et 2011, tout a changé pour les écoliers qui vivent à présent dans le virtuel et dans une société multiculturelle, analyse Michel Serres. Il faut aider l'école à prendre la mesure de cette nouvelle ère. Le Monde.fr | • Mis à jour le | Par Michel Serres, de l'Académie française Avant d'enseigner quoi que ce soit à qui que ce soit, au moins faut-il le connaître.

Qui se présente, aujourd'hui, à l'école, au collège, au lycée, à l'université ? Ce nouvel écolier, cette jeune étudiante n'a jamais vu veau, vache, cochon ni couvée. En 1900, la majorité des humains, sur la planète, travaillaient au labour et à la pâture ; en 2011, la France, comme les pays analogues, ne compte plus qu'un pour cent de paysans.

Quand on parle de formation à distance, on pense immédiatement à l’e-learning et à Internet. Mais en réalité, la formation à distance a déjà une très longue histoire derrière elle, vieille de près de 3 siècles. Voici une infographie et un article pour revoir un peu cette petite histoire de la formation à distance. Avertissement : cette infographie et l’article qui l’accompagne sont extraits d’une ressource du cours « Apprendre en ligne » que je me prépare à lancer dans les prochaines semaines.

Ce cours sera offert à l’inscription de tout autre cours en ligne que je proposerai bientôt.

The other week I watched 70 hours of TED talks; short, 18-minute talks given by inspirational leaders in the fields of Technology,Entertainment, and Design (TED). I watched 296 talks in total, and I recently went through the list of what I watched, weeded out the crappy and boring talks, and created a list of the 100 best things I learned !

This article isn’t entirely about productivity, but I guarantee you’ll learn a thing or two. Here are 100 incredible things I learned watching 70 hours of TED talks last week! Productivity 1. Studies have shown that what motivates a person the most (in non-factory-type work) is how much autonomy, mastery, and purpose they have, not how much money they make. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22.
