7 Skills That Aren’t About to Be Automated

From hbr.org - October 15, 2018 2:42 PM

Today’s young professionals grew up in an age of mind-boggling technological change, seeing the growth of the internet, the invention of the smartphone, and the development of machine-learning systems. These advances all point toward the total automation of our lives, including the way we work and do business. It’s no wonder, then, that young people are anxious about their ability to compete in the job market. As executives who have spent our lives assessing and implementing digital technology in every type of organization, we often get asked by them: “What should I learn today so that I’ll have a job in the future?” In what follows we’ll share seven skills that can not only make you unable to be automated, but will make you employable no matter what the future holds.

How many times in the past couple months have you had discussion about learning analytics and big data on your campus?   I’ve been thinking about how to think about learning analytics and big data in from a liberal arts point of view. My hope is to run by some of my thinking with you, and to get your thoughts on the matter.

Designing Learning Experiences | JISC Digital Media | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
From www.jiscdigitalmedia.ac.uk - July 13, 2013 1:47 PM

Once you scratch at the surface of producing learning materials, it quickly becomes apparent that there are many elements to their creation. An overarching theme outlined here is that of “designing the learner experience”. This introductory advice document examines the notion that building a resource is akin to the process of an architect designing a building where context is paramount.

Why students should not be taught general critical-thinking skills

Why students should not be taught general critical-thinking skills | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
From blogs.lse.ac.uk - January 26, 2017 7:50 AM
It’s natural to want children and graduates to develop a set of all-purpose cognitive tools with which to navigate their way through the world. But can such things be taught? Carl Hendrick argues that general critical thinking skills cannot be so easily transferred from one context to another.

Being an air-traffic controller is not easy. At the heart of the job is a cognitive ability called “situational awareness” that involves “the continuous extraction of environmental information [and the] integration of this information with prior knowledge to form a coherent mental picture”. Vast amounts of fluid information must be held in the mind and, under extreme pressure, life-or-death decisions are made across rotating 24-hour work schedules. So stressful and mentally demanding is the job that, in most countries, air-traffic controllers are eligible for early retirement. In the United States, they must retire at 56 without exception.

Technology skills only scratch the surface of the digital divide - The Hechinger Report | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
From hechingerreport.org - November 19, 2014 2:58 PM
The realities of the “digital divide” are increasingly apparent. In a consumer culture that equates status with early adoption of the newest iPhone, access to new technology necessarily splits pretty clearly along socio-economic class lines. According to U.S. census data, for example, more than 30 million homes have no broadband access, most of them concentrated …

10 characteristics of authentic learning | Learning with 'e's

From steve-wheeler.blogspot.co.uk - July 10, 2013 3:35 AM

Too often in school classrooms around the world the delivery of content is abstract, disconnected and decontextualised. Students are then regularly tested on their recall of what they have 'learnt' and graded as successes or failures. But exactly what is their success or failure? And what does this process of assessment teach students about the school system? Part of the problem is that content is delivered, with little opportunity for students to make personal sense of that content. Another problem is that students are then expected to replicate that 'knowledge' in a form that is recognisable as the original. Students are therefore learning exactly what is already known, rather than exploring new knowledge and gaining fresh insight on the world.
