La subida de tasas académicas y la restricción de las becas acorralan a los universitarios en plena crisis
Rosetta Stone, the popular commercial language-instruction system, is no replacement for trained teachers and in-class learning, a new study has found. The company that makes the system says it has no interest in replacing teachers, though it has recently made deals with colleges to use its product as a teaching tool. A report on the study, published in the most recent issue of the Association of Departments of Foreign Languages’ Bulletin, is an example of growing faculty concern that software could replace classroom teaching.

Group work and teamwork. In college courses the terms refer to students working together, often on an assignment or an activity. Group work is the more neutral term, whereas teamwork implies something about how the students are working together. And although teamwork is easy to identify when we see it on a playing field or court, what does teamwork look like in a college classroom?

The concept of higher education as the “great equalizer” may be the best outcome of the evolution of American colleges and universities in the 20th century. As education advanced and the needs of the workforce changed, Americans recognized with clearheaded pragmatism that education offered the most certain avenue “out and up.” They took advantage of the G.I. Bill to retrain to meet the demands of the mature industrial economy. For middle-class America, the expectation became even stronger as parents prepared their children for a college degree and sacrificed what was necessary to achieve it.

For Tully’s 70th birthday, a group of his friends and collaborators teamed up to throw a conferencecelebrating his work. At the same time, they unveiled two remarkable new cosmic maps, which he helped to create. One is the color coded one, above, which depicts the exact location of every galaxy out to a distance of 300 million light years; that covers about 30 times as much space as Tully’s earlier version. But the even more amazing advance–the one that truly made my head spin, as I hope it will do to yours–is the 3D video, which shows not only all the visible structures but also the unseen dark matter, and illustrates the dynamic behavior of the whole thing. (The French-accented narration, decidedly not by Tully, is a sweet extra touch.)
