A Conversation With Bill Gates - Technology - The Chronicle of Higher Education

A Conversation With Bill Gates - Technology - The Chronicle of Higher Education | Aprendiendo a Distancia | Scoop.it
Bill Gates never finished college, but he is one of the single most powerful figures shaping higher education today. That influence comes through the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, perhaps the world's richest philanthropy, which he co-chairs and which has made education one of its key missions.

The Chronicle sat down with Mr. Gates in an exclusive interview Monday to talk about his vision for how colleges can be transformed through technology. His approach is not simply to drop in tablet computers or other gadgets and hope change happens—a model he said has a "really horrible track record." Instead, the foundation awards grants to reformers working to fix "inefficiencies" in the current model of higher education that keep many students from graduating on time, or at all. And he argues for radical reform of college teaching, advocating a move toward a "flipped" classroom, where students watch videos from superstar professors as homework and use class time for group projects and other interactive activities. As he put it, "having a lot of kids sit in the lecture class will be viewed at some point as an antiquated thing."

Study: E-book library borrowing takes slow pace | Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project

NEW YORK (AP) — E-book readers have been relatively slow to borrow digital works from the library, frustrated by a limited selection and by not even knowing if their local branch offers e-releases, according to a new study.

The 10 Things I Know About Innovation In Education | Edudemic

The 10 Things I Know About Innovation In Education | Edudemic | Aprendiendo a Distancia | Scoop.it
I write this while sitting at a marvelous presentation all about creativity at the 2012 CALI Conference. The presentation is all about encouraging you to creatively approach problems, recognizing when there’s a solution, and how to basically be at your best.

Which got me thinking about the current structure of education. It’s currently seeing an insanely fast evolution in terms of technology. But all that evolved technology is being shoe-horned into a very old model. So you could have the best cutting-edge Web 2.0 apps, iPads out the wazoo, but still have a school with no wi-fi or even Internet connectivity. You could have the most robust student portal but a group of administrators resistant to change.
