WCET, The Mozilla Foundation, Blackboard, Inc., and Sage Road Solutions LLC seek to convene and moderate an international discussion on the role of badges as a new currency of exchange for high value, post-secondary credentials for the new workforce. Using a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) format for this highly collaborative discussion, we will explore the ecosystem for a new credential economy based on badges and surface aspects of what would be required to adopt such an approach, including: Delete the scoop?

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.

"In the process of writing and finalizing the chapter on “Visual Notetaking” for my forthcoming eBook, “Mapping Media to the Common Core,” I found Giulia Forsythe‘s blog page “Visual Practice” and her WONDERFUL presentation a year ago for the 2012 University of Mary Washington Faculty Academy. Her presentation slides are available on SlideShare, and the entire 68 minute, recorded presentation is on Vimeo. I highly recommend you watch this entire presentation if you’re interested (as you should be) in learning more about visual notes. Via Dennis Richards, Robert Farrow, juandoming Delete the scoop?

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? Via Faculty Focus Delete the scoop?

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. Delete the scoop?

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.) Delete the scoop?
