Today, most educational systems are designed to work from the microscopic to the macroscopic. Students learn facts and figures and tiny fractions of knowledge long before anyone really puts things into a larger context.

Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) are online learning events that can take place synchronously and asynchronously for months. Participants assemble to hear, see, and participate in backchannel communication during live lectures. They read the same texts at the same time, according to a calendar. Learning takes place through self-organized networks of participants, and is almost completely decentralized: individuals and groups create blogs or wikis around their own interpretations of the texts and lectures, and comment on each other’s work; each individual and group publicises their RSS feed, which are automatically aggregated by a special (freely available) tool, gRSShopper. Every day, an email goes out to all participants, aggregating activity streams from all the blogs and wikis that engage that week’s material. MOOCs are a practical application of a learning theory known as “connectivism” that situates learning in the networks of connections made between individuals and between texts.

Just a few days ago I posted a comprehensive list of educational iPad apps organized into awesome charts that teachers can print out and use separately. Today, however, I will be sharing with you another set of great charts covering Bloom's Taxonomy apps for both Android and Web 2.0. This work was done by Kathy from Shrock Guide. She has gathered all of the Bloomin'Apps projects in one place. Each of the images has clickable hotspots and includes suggestions for Google, Android, and Web 2.0 applications to support each of the levels of Bloom's Revised Taxonomy.

When I skimmed this infographic on learning analytics (embedded below), at first glance the teacher in me felt reservations at the thought of running analytics on student learning. Running numbers on how students learn? How do you quantify something so unique to each child?

Inquiry-based Learning With and Without Facilitator Interactions... This paper discusses findings of a study investigating how students, in four online courses, engaged in inquiry-based learning with and without support from a facilitator. The investigation was conducted by analyzing discussions of the online courses using the community of inquiry model. The results of the study imply that students in online discussions can engage in deep and meaningful learning, even when there is no facilitator interaction. Further, the findings of the analysis suggest that successful inquiries are possible without teacher or facilitator interactions, if learning environments are designed to support students being interactive and the students have motivation, regulatory skills and a willingness to collaborate with their peers.
Заслуги Фарадея в области изучения электромагнитных явлений хорошо известны. Куда менее известно, какую роль в его жизни сыграли лекции, как для его собственного образования, так и в той преподавательской деятельности, которой Фарадей занимался в течение всей своей жизни. Он обладал исключительными способностями к исследовательской деятельности и даром общения с людьми; эти черты до сих пор проявляются в сотрудниках Королевского института, директором которого долгое время он был.
