Interactive blended learning: Student-to-StudentStudent-to-TeacherStudent-to-CommunityStudent-to-MaterialStudent-to-Technology

We should not limit our thinking of what is blended learning to online learning. We need to consider the role of face-to-face in this learning model. Delete the scoop?

I've been curating for years, using Scoop.it and Delicio.us, but I'm excited to begin introducing the concept of curation to my students... Especially upperclassmen beginning their senior projects. Delete the scoop?

WIth regard to Bates observartion, it may be noteworthy to mention that Hedberg and Larson developed the so called media wheel (http://goo.gl/n3jIa) that was inspired by Laurillard’s distinction in media forms that support learning. Laurillard (2002) argues that different media forms have different affordances, i.e. provide a different level of support for various kinds learning experiences (http://goo.gl/HLVra).
As one might guess, these different media forms, supporting different learning experiences, activities or strategies, could probably demand different skills. And indeed, as a result of the intensified research on digital literacy or media literacy, it is suggested that digital media add more layers to literacy (http://goo.gl/YzkWq) or that literacy consists of several subsets of specifif skills (http://goo.gl/rp9Wv). So, looking for the effects of media use in educational settings (like MOOCs), not only requires differentiating media forms but also taking into account that media use demands different subsets of specifif skills.

The field of massive-open-online-course providers is becoming crowded. That’s even more so at Stanford University, where Udacity and Coursera, two of the largest providers, got their start.
Now there’s a new platform to add to the list. NovoEd, which officially opened on Monday, will begin offering seven courses to the public next week, as well as 10 private courses for Stanford students. Amin Saberi, a Stanford professor and the start-up company’s founder and chief executive, said there’s a key difference between NovoEd and existing MOOC options: peer interaction.
“With this transition from brick-and-mortar classes to online learning, you shouldn’t lose the social, collaborative aspects of learning,” Mr. Saberi said. “It should be able to enable it.”
NovoEd was created by Mr. Saberi and a Ph.D. student, Farnaz Ronaghi, for use in an entrepreneurship course in March 2012. More than 80,000 students in 150 countries participated in the course by using the platform, working in teams on projects and business models.
“We had students from Silicon Valley to Russia to third-world countries in Africa,” Mr. Saberi said.
Some MOOCs have struggled to foster teamwork because of their size. In February a course at the Georgia Institute of Technology was suspended due to technical difficulties after the instructor attempted to use Google Docs to help the course’s 40,000 enrolled students to organize themselves into groups.
NovoEd is designed specifically with teamwork in mind, Mr. Saberi said. Students form groups at the beginning of each course, conduct class discussions by messaging one another or in discussion boards under an assignment, and evaluate their peers’ performance, much like team projects in face-to-face lecture courses.
NovoEd’s offerings for the public currently include courses on finance, product management, and mobile health.
One offering, “A Crash Course in Creativity,” explores how to increase your own creativity among teams and organizations. One assignment asks the teams to “look at bread in a new way” and to create presentations and video exploring the value of a loaf of bread. The videos are then viewable, and can be commented on, by everyone else in the course.
“It’s important to think about that learning is not just the mastery of skill sets or content,” Mr. Saberi said. “We want all the students to become critical thinkers. We want them to be better team leaders, better team players, and these are things you attain by working in teams and learning from your peers.” Delete the scoop?

And a non-western vision on the interactive possiblities of MOOCs
PaigeCuffe's curator insight,
April 26, 6:22 AM
This draft paper offers some evidence of the style of some interactions on some types of MOOCs. Regrettably, it offers them as though representing all interactions and all types of MOOCs and does not recognise the differences in pedagogy/heutagogy of the widely varying courses now available. Indeed, it does not describe the original cMOOCs though it does draw on a lot of the literature which has arisen from and around cMOOCs and applies this without qualification to xMOOCs. Within those constraints, however, is there something here to consider about the style of interaction of participants on these xMOOCs and also the potential role of xMOOCs in other societies?
