In other words, Leet Noobs is a story of collaborative, technology-mediated learning. To some extent, it's a story about how people experience learning in gaming environments, which educators should take an interest in because an unbelievable amount of learning happens in these online spaces. What was the last time you worked together in a 40 person group for months to figure out how to solve a puzzle, failing over and over again until you succeed?

I am a university lecturer and have been told that I have to put my course online. Do you have advice for a novice on where to start? There is no "right" way to start teaching online. As is the case with instruction in face-to-face teaching, there are general principles that should underpin your approach, but how you bring these principles to life will depend on several factors.

Una de las problemáticas que se puede enfrentar el docente como desarrollador de contenidos cuando se ve involucrado en el proceso de diseño instruccional para construir cursos en línea, es la adaptación al equipo de trabajo (celda de producción) con el que tendrá que entablar un diálogo e interacción para "ponerse de acuerdo" en cómo va a elaborarse los materiales de consulta, la estructura de los contenidos, las ilustraciones, si va o no a tener recursos digitales multimedia, si está o no permitido emplear recursos de la Web 2.0 en el curso, si las actividades de aprendizaje requieren cierta interactividad, o si la evaluación de los alumnos se adecúa con la competencia o habilidad indicada. En sí, es toda una verdadera labor académica que requiere del entusiamo, la pasión y el interés por el quehacer de la enseñanza a distancia. Delete the scoop?

If you thought that distance learning was a product of today, then you would be mistaken. In fact, the first distance learning program on record took place in 1728, when a local teacher by the name of Caleb Phillips advertised shorthand correspondence lessons offered by mail! By 1800, the growth of the U.S. Postal Service brought about an increase in the number of distance learning correspondence courses in the country.

Online learning has been trumpeted by everyone from academics to politicians to venture capitalists as a way to improve access to education. But now a novel idea is emerging from a prominent group of digital education supporters: you can’t learn everything online.The Minerva Project is a first-of-its-kind hybrid of old and new in which there is no campus and students take all of their courses online, but live together in traditional college dorms.
The school—named after the Roman goddess of wisdom—is still in its planning stages and isn’t scheduled to open until the fall of 2015. Delete the scoop?

Kim Flintoff's insight:
An interesting article with many caveats about the current state of this emerging technology. Seems to miss the fact that there are many ways in which students engage with texts - and many ways in which they record their undertstanding.
Forcing artificial activities into students reading and note-taking habits seems fraught with problems.
What about students who make visual notes? Students who paraphrase rather quote? Students who read the entireity of a document before setting about extracting the elements? Delete the scoop?

If we equate teaching and learning in HE to a balancing act, walking on a tightrope between two buildings in a gale then we can start to see the difference between these two concepts. In this analogy, activity is what is keeps you there on the wire, hands flat, arms out, small wiggles from side to side to maintain balance and well, to be blunt, whatever you can do to not fall off. Actions are the movements take you forward, step by step until you get to the other side. You can’t stay balanced up there forever. Activity is not enough.

Con estas nuevas capacidades digitales (digital literacy) adquiridas en la sociedad de la información y de los conocimientos según lo establece la Unesco en uno de sus manuscritos, la estructura que presentan estos autores (Mackey y Jacobson), hace referencia a lo que en los ambientes actuales de las TIC y de las innovaciones de la Web 2.0 y la que viene muy pronto (Web 3.0), se asocia de alguna manera con lo que las personas pueden desarrollar en su proceso de aprendizaje y autorregulación, el concepto que ahora se transfiere de la metacognición a una meta capacidad o trans-capacidad, depende de lo que cada quién logre o pueda desarrollar, dominar y evidenciar a lo largo de toda la vida y en relación a los requerimientos de la sociedad y cibercultura del siglo XXI.

New York City-based ThinkMap‘s word learning platform, Vocabulary.com, demonstrates some solid improvement on learning analytics and basic gamification applied toward simple online learning tasks. We found it surprisingly addictive, and thought the “Word in the Wild” feature is particularly innovative for learners to see words in actual usage and draw inferential clues.
ThinkMap’s customers are squarely middle school and high school students right now, but we think there will be opportunity with the personalization algorithms and mechanics they are developing to swim upstream to higher ed. In addition, there’s probably not much of a jump to foreign language learning. Delete the scoop?

"We need to teach knowledge or content in context with the tasks and activities the students are undertaking. Our students respond well to real world problems. Our delivery of knowledge should scaffold the learning process and provide a foundation for activities. As we know from the learning pyramid content delivered without context or other activity has a low retention rate." Via Susan Bainbridge
