How Technology Is Empowering The Learners - Edudemic

How Technology Is Empowering The Learners - Edudemic | Create, Innovate & Evaluate in Higher Education | Scoop.it
The impact technology has had within schools is limited but is empowering learners like never before.
Alfredo Corell's insight:

In the last 50 years advances in technology have brought about social shifts that change the way we interact, communicate, share information, and learn. The changes in technology have had far-reaching effects on every aspect of society, changing what we know, how we know it, how we make a living, and how we see the world and each other.

MOOCs are transforming higher education and providing fodder for scientific research

MOOCs are transforming higher education and providing fodder for scientific research | Create, Innovate & Evaluate in Higher Education | Scoop.it

"When campus president Wallace Loh walked into Juan Uriagereka's office last August, he got right to the point. “We need courses for this thing — yesterday!” Uriagereka, associate provost for faculty affairs at the University of Maryland in College Park, knew exactly what his boss meant. Campus administrators around the world had been buzzing for months about massive open online courses, or MOOCs: Internet-based teaching programmes designed to handle thousands of students simultaneously, in part using the tactics of social-networking websites."

La deriva hacia la frustración de profesor y alumno queda en evidencia.

 

Y las ya sabidas consecuencias  son:

 

Agresividad, Regresión y comportamiento infantil.

Tristeza y depresión. Introversión.

Eliminación arbitraria de objetos deseables.

Se Impide a los individuos que completen un trabajo.

Se Induce en los sujetos sentimientos de fracaso y la desconfianza hacia sus propias capacidades.

Refreno desde el exterior a la expresión de los impulsos del individuo y la afirmación de su propia personalidad.

Se Fomenta las discrepancias entre los deseos y las posibilidades de satisfacerlos. Se Implanta un liderazgo insatisfactorio.

Latest news, events and thoughts about MOOCs | Create, Innovate & Evaluate in Higher Education | Scoop.it

I present here a compilation of news, thoughts, and movements in the MOOCs field.

Alfredo Corell's insight:

- A main concern is the low level of courses completions (below 10%):

http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/01/17/measuring-the-success-of-online-education , one can consider 20% completion a success: http://technorati.com/technology/article/are-massive-open-online-courses-moocs/

 

- In the same line, a Coursera's MOOC had 180.000 students, but less than 26.000 are now running: http://www.hackcollege.com/blog/2013/01/22/duke-university-professors-mooc-has-180000-students.html

 

-On the other hand US universities are thinking to link a first free MOOC with a second official course for credit in the named "MOOC2Grade":

The engaged university - towards new roles for universities for economic development

The engaged university - towards new roles for universities for economic development | Create, Innovate & Evaluate in Higher Education | Scoop.it

Abstract

Universities play a unique role in society, providing a community of experimentation and innovation. Even so, leaders around the world have had to push for university primacy to retain competitiveness in the global economy. This paper examines efforts taken by universities in the United States to evaluate their contribution to economic development. An emerging role for universities is one of active neighborhood involvement, in which they are engaged in projects with local communities. These projects include providing assistance to local firms and policy advice to state and local government, and getting involved in community outreach. In this role and in an unprecedented manner, universities are engaging on a wide range of topics with local communities, using these communities as labs to test new ideas and find better ways to achieve social and economic goals. This is precisely why it is important to consider the larger role of universities’ in economic and social development.
