Study finds no impact of increasing online class size on student outcomes

Study finds no impact of increasing online class size on student outcomes | Distance Learning, mLearning, Digital Education, Technology | Scoop.it
From www.insidehighered.com - January 5, 2015 12:19 PM

"Conventional wisdom (backed by many research studies) holds that students benefit from smaller classes. They receive more personal attention from instructors, who can spend more time evaluating each assignment turned in and can spend more time with each student. Many rankings systems reward colleges for small class sizes. Many potential undergraduates judge colleges on the availability of small classes.

 

But a large national study presented this weekend at the annual meeting of the American Economic Association challenges that conventional wisdom. The study finds that increases in online class size have no impact on student grades, student persistence in the course or the likelihood of students enrolling in future courses.":

Class size may not directly impact student grades or persistence, but it does impact the instructor's ability to provide individualized attention and feedback in a timely manner, which could indirectly impact student performance. I try to provide detailed feedback on all major projects within 7 days. If I had class sizes of 100 students versus the 15 students I currently have in my graduate classes, I would need a month to provide the level of feedback I currently provide.


With large class sizes, all assessments would have to be in the form of automatically graded objective tests.

Martin (Marty) Smith's curator insight, January 6, 2015 10:31 AM

Would that it were so. I LIKE the idea of this infographic - that gamification is easy. I haven't found that to be the case, but like the idea. Our websites and content marketing must become more game-like to create the communities and engagement needed to develop ROI.

In my experience gamifying takes commitment, time and resources. You fail much more than you succeed at first, so patience is also needed. That said the social / mobile web is a "gamers" paradise.

Meaning the more your content creates social reinforcement, fun and joy the better. One of your 2015 goals should be either to gamify outright or find little ways to make interacting with your site / company / brand more game-like. That I agree with :). M

A Collection Of Beautiful Educational Sketchnotes for Teachers ~ Educational Technology and Mobile Learning

A Collection Of Beautiful Educational Sketchnotes for Teachers ~ Educational Technology and Mobile Learning | Distance Learning, mLearning, Digital Education, Technology | Scoop.it
From www.educatorstechnology.com - January 7, 2015 6:38 AM
A few weeks ago, I shared here a list of some powerful iPad apps for sketchnoting (visual note taking) and I argued that sketchnoting has several cognitive pluses (e.g easy memory recall, quick processing of data, enhanced concentration, to mention but a few). I have recently bought a stylus and started experimenting with this new form of taking notes. My sketches are not the best but the more I practice the better they become. One of the things I learned from the different video tutorials I watched in this regard is that as a beginner sketchnoter you need to build a rich visual vocabulary that will facilitate your visual representations and to do this you need to have access to works of expert sketchnoters. Observing how they use shapes, colours, graphic organizers, text...etc will definitely help you learn how to create your own sketchnotes. One of the people I would recommend for anyone starting to learn sketchnoting is Langwitches.
