Over the last two years, nearly half of faculty have moved away from a traditional lecture model and adopted a range of technology-driven teaching practices, according to new research released in the last week.
KF: This seems to be echoing what began some time ago in Australia. While information transfer, sometimes via lectures, can be a useful (but always limited) strategy the scope of pedagogical understandings have shifted. With greater emphasis on assurance of learning initiatives in universities it can probably be expected that more data will arise about what approaches are most effective.

Despite this, we’re still waiting. The longer Blackboard, Apple and other educational software platforms continue to resist one another, the more frustrating the digital learning experience will be. Apple has come a long way in more or less jump-starting the digital learning revolution through mobile technology, but there is still room to grow, and some of these advancements seem long overdue.

"Is paper a more effective teaching medium than speech? Stupid question isn't it? It depends what you write, what you say, how you express yourself and above all what do actually do with these media. That's why I get rather tired of the endless discussions about so-called e-learning. Is it more effective than chalk and talk? Does it lead to better student grades? Again rather irrelevant questions." Via EDTECH@UTRGV

A massively open online course (MOOC) is a model for delivering learning content online to virtually any person—and as many of them—who wants to take the course. Course activities can be scheduled or asynchronous, and a fluid structure is valuable because students can choose their level of participation and many will do so in an à la carte manner.
