El 31 de Marzo de 2014 apareció una entrada en Faculty Focus titulada: Can You Flip an Online Class?, es decir, "¿se puede invertir una clase online?", cuyos autores eran Barbi Honeycutt, PhD y Sarah Glova. Me parece muy interesante la reflexión y la ampliación del concepto de flip que, como veréis, va más allá del entorno físico para centrarse en lo que siempre ha sido esencial en este enfoque: el rol del profesor y el alumno, la enseñanza y el aprendizaje. El artículo decía así: "Recientemente preguntamos a un grupo de profesores ayudantes, "¿cómo crees que el aula de la universidad de hoy es diferente respecto a cuando eras un estudiante universitario? ¿Cuál es el cambio más significativo que has advertido? La respuesta número uno: la tecnología. Esto no es una sorpresa. Lo más interesante es que muchos de estos graduados universitarios eran hace apenas unos años estudiantes, sin embargo, todavía ven la tecnología como el cambio más significativo en el aula universitaria. ¿Por qué? ¿No deberían los estudiantes estar acostumbrados al uso de la tecnología a estas alturas? O bien la tecnología está cambiando tan rápidamente que siempre lo vemos como "nuevo", o todavía estamos luchando para integrar la tecnología de manera efectiva y sin problemas en la experiencia de aprendizaje. O tal vez ambas cosas.

The world of education is rapidly changing as we move onward in the digital world. From pre-school to graduate school more instruction utilizes multimedia and digital resources and relies less on the printed word. Toddlers are playing games on iPads, kindergarteners are drawing and creating stories using laptops, middle school students are conducting online computer research, and college students are producing and submitting digital stories instead of research papers. Advantages of the increase in educational technology include education becoming more accessible, affordable, adaptable, and equitable (Bai & Smith, 2010). We have Ebooks and libraries that offer varied digitalized material and even a library with no books! The first bookless library recently opened at Florida Polytechnic University in central Florida. One of the attributes of such a library is that students can research and select material independently which often is easier and more productive than seeking assistance at a library’s help desk. Support from librarians is still available, if needed.
Working independently. . . Conducting research. . . Using investigative and critical thinking skills. . . These are the same cognitive components that most educators stress in their curriculum however, the way in which courses are structured is quite varied as are the rates of success. In spite of all the advances in technology-based education there still is reluctance on the part of some educators, especially in higher education, to use multimedia and technological resources. Nowadays, use of such material is generally expected by students, but they frequently are either not utilized in college settings, used minimally, or inappropriately. Many college professors expect learning to take place via students: listening attentively to classroom lectures, taking copious notes, and religiously reading, and if needed, re-reading, their textbooks. A more contemporary approach to teaching recognizes that such a limited strategy may no longer be exclusively workable.

The stage at BbWorld is unlike any other conference’s stage. Because our technology is capable of impacting learners throughout their entire lives, in over 100 countries around the globe, BbWorld brings together the most diverse and dynamic crowd that the industry has to offer. And we recognize the powerful, common thread that rings through every voice in the room: a steadfast commitment to the learner. In this vein, we have designed a program to rally around this commonality throughout the event.
To kick off the conversation, high school senior and TED speaker Adora Svitak will open BbWorld. She is best known for her 2010 TED talk that inspired people from Silicon Valley to Wall Street, in classrooms and boardrooms, to think like a kid – in education, in day-to-day life, and in our global culture.

They’re almost universally loathed by professors as being too subjective and an unreliable indicator of performance. But beyond that, surprisingly little is known about student evaluations of faculty teaching. How many colleges require them, and what do they ask? How many students complete them, and what effect do they have on instructors’ careers?
A committee of the American Association of University Professors wanted to help answer some of the questions, and help stir discussions about a better way to rate professors in the classroom. Survey responses gathered by the committee from some 9,000 professors suggest diminishing student response rates for course evaluations, too much focus on such evaluations alone in personnel decisions -- especially for non-tenure-track faculty -- and a creep of the kinds of personal comments seen on teacher rating websites into formal evaluations. But while the committee argues that whatever value student evaluations ever had is shrinking, it says student surveys can play an important role in a more holistic faculty evaluation system.

Work is learning, and learning is the work. I have repeated this hundreds of times over the past six years and I know some people may think it is a trite statement. But the fact that learning is usually supported by an organizational department that has less influence than sales, marketing, operations, or information technology, shows that learning is not a priority in most enterprises. It’s often bolted on after the major decisions have been made. Several times on consulting engagements I have been perceived as ‘the learning guy’ dealing with a minor aspect of the ‘real’ project.

Ya faltan 6 días para el 16 de Junio, día en que se llevará a cabo la conferencia más grande sobre Open Source y Software Libre en España, OpenExpo Day, la cual tendrá lugar en el Teatro Galileo en Madrid desde las 9 de la mañana hasta las 9 de la noche. Los organizadores informan que ya confirmaron su participación en el evento, más de mil empresas, lo que ha superado las expectativas hasta de los más optimistas y confirma que cada vez son más empresas que adoptan la tecnología FLOSS (Free Licence Open Source Software). El evento se desarrollará en 6 salas diferentes, con contenidos simultáneos. Por la mañana los organizadores prepararon diferentes conferencias y talleres/demo, como por ejemplo la que impartirá Chema Alonso sobre BigData y OSINT. También y no menos importante es lo que mostrará David Lastra de Territorio Creativo sobre los modelos y experiencias de innovación en marketing digital, por supuesto utilizando Open Source Hardware. Durante el día los asistentes a

The unaccredited education programs known as coding boot camps are proliferating, and gaining more students. This year the number of graduates from such programs is expected to hit 16,000, up from 6,740 in 2014, according to a recent survey by Course Report, a business that focuses on the sector.
At the boot camps, which are not affiliated with colleges or universities and which offer in-person instruction, students can work and study programming for 10 hours a day — or more — for months at a time. One such program, AIT Learning, based in Washington, D.C., says on its website that prospective students should expect to study 10 to 14 hours a day and to “work with peers till late and make some real-world programs.”
