Interesting cynical quote from this article: A class isn’t just the fact of meeting at a given time, or a teacher imparting information during that meeting, or students’ to receiving and processing such information. A university classroom offers a destination for students on campus, providing an excuse to traverse the quads, backpack on one’s shoulders, realizing a certain image of college life. Once there, the classroom does real work, too. It bounds the space and attention of learning, it creates camaraderie, and it presents opportunities for discourse, flirtation, boredom, and all the other trappings of collegiate fulfillment. Take away the classroom, and what’s left? Often, a limp rehearsal of the act of learning, carried out by awkward or unwilling actors. If the pandemic gave rise to hygiene theater, it also brought us this: pedagogy theater.

I found this quote frightening! No evidence offered.

Em tempos de fechamento de escola o ensino híbrido (talvez seja mais conveniente falar em aprendizagem híbrida) é tema na pauta educacional.

Totally relate this to MOOCs. I have been reviewing old papers as I think we often try and recreate something new out of something that we have done before. If we just practised reflective learning ourselves I think we would dig out some great ideas and we just need to update them (apply what we know today). |

This is a very good site with some wonderful flow charts.

"...we know that exposure to technology changes the brains of those exposed to it..." This web does not only adapt learning paradigms to technology, but reflect on the new way technology affects how we learn. Absoluty essential |
