That opening line is not accurate where I teach. Technology in education is poorly used. We need to figure out how to do a better job. Delete the scoop?

My students have taught me some invaluable lessons during my first two years as a college professor. I’d like to share three of the most important ones here. They aren’t new lessons and I didn’t use any unique methods to learn them. Delete the scoop?

In her post, A Rectangle is Not a Square, Melissa Koenig describes some of the differences between what most universities consider online courses and the newer model of MOOCs (massive open online courses).

" By removing the curtain, those of us interested in online and blended delivery can peek into hundreds or thousands of “classrooms” to see what others are doing. How exciting!" Delete the scoop?

Tweet this! The exponential interest in online learning and the launch of our new HP Catalyst Academy for STEMx Teachers has me thinking about my own experience teaching online. What makes it work?
Blaine Morrow's insight:
Snippet: "Give them a weekly checklist. Don’t fight the fact that everyone has a professional life that has them STRETCHED beyond belief. Confusion is simply wasted time that leads to needless frustration. So, in my course, each week has a checklist that hyperlinks to each activity." Delete the scoop?

An instructor in the humanities uses social media to keep class interesting for at-risk students.
Blaine Morrow's insight:
""Remix" is a term most often associated with music, and about half of the course focuses on the work of artists ranging from Bartok and Stravinsky to Public Enemy and Girl Talk. But we also examine how inherently combinatorial practices have contributed to innovations in literature, film, visual arts, and architecture, as well as shaped patterns of development in biology and technology.

Two factors are making universities (in the UK in particular) consider the costs of their courses like never before. The first is the withdrawal of state funding and reliance on student fees.
Blaine Morrow's insight:
"The second is our new old friend, MOOCs. It seems rather arrogant but many MOOC providers think they've just invented the idea of considering elearning costs. But all the same, the fact they are gaining attention, and that they are providing alternative models of support (largely through automatic assessment) makes universities take a look at their costs and assumptions too.

The discussion board in Kathleen Lowney’s large blended (or hybrid) section of introduction to sociology at Valdosta State University wasn’t serving its intended purpose of engaging learners with the content and preparing them for face-to-face...
Blaine Morrow's insight:
"I began to notice that the academically stronger students would post early; the weaker students tended to post in the last 12 hours of a seven-day window, and many of their posts, while not quite taken word-for-word from the stronger students, were pretty close. It looked [as though] they were waiting for the stronger students to post in these open discussions to figure out what the answers were. Not everybody was engaging with the material in the way that I wanted them to engage with it,” Lowney says. Delete the scoop?
