To avoid being overtaken by industry, as it enters the education market, higher education needs to learn to serve students as customers by offering them an experience that fits their specific needs that evolves with them.
Knowing how to ask questions and where or how to find information is essential in 21st-century life. Inquiry-based learning is an excellent learning tool that encourages 21st-century skills building. Start here for information and resources on inquiry-bas
Corwin Press announced that they are bring John Hattie's Visible Learning to North America and schools should pay attention because this is not about school reform, it's about school transformation.
Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the US labor market has undergone dramatic ups and downs, with employment numbers dropping off a cliff in Spring
After developing a reputation for being slow to change, innovation is the word guiding higher education institutions forward. Positive, effective innovation requires engaging everyone on campus and scaling what already works.
When using backward design to create a lesson plan based on the flipped classroom approach (Picture 2), the time that learners spend in BRs can be engaging and fulfilling. Outsourcing some of Bloom’s categories to the homework assignments will help our students be more confident and ready to share ideas while in class, either diminishing or eliminating the impact of some of the most concerning aspects of synchronous remote teaching.
To exacerbate the economic challenges that UK universities are facing, many of their workers – from researchers, academics and administrators, to caterers, cleaners and other support staff – have recently walked out on strike, citing the significant drop in pay that they have experience since 2009. As universities face off financial pressure from all angles, it is clear that solutions are needed to drive efficiencies and boost revenues. In today’s highly technological business landscape, Digital Transformation is often viewed by universities as a crucial step to achieving these goals. However, with university finances in such dire straits, many are unable to invest the large sums of money required to make Digital Transformation a success.
Fortunately for universities, the general affordability of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Automation, especially in regards other technologies, means that they can quickly achieve the efficiency and cost savings they need without placing further, undue pressure on their ailing budgets.
Educational technology should no more be optional in a society where online natives are now putting their kids to school. I’ve spent the last four years working as an instructional coach, teaching instructors how to incorporate technology into their lessons. During that period, I discovered that for teachers to properly embrace digitalization in the classrooms, they must be backed by a society that fully welcomes educational technology. Here’s how we do it
Este artículo muestra cómo los dispositivos digitales pueden ser una herramienta clave para fomentar la innovación en el aula.

Sometimes we need to make some changes in our classroom spaces and the instructional strategies and tools we use. There are so many ways to create more authentic and meaningful learning opportunities for students that facilitate more active and student-driven learning. Starting a new calendar year is the perfect time to try new ideas and innovate to bring unconventional teaching methods to your classes.

The Great Resignation was a wake-up call to leaders to prioritize a greater connection between work and mission, provide clear career trajectories and opportunities for upward mobility
With Spotify and similar music streaming platforms, we can group our favorite songs into playlists, curating a custom soundtrack for our lives and changing it as often as we like.
There are clear signs that something similar is at work in higher education. We are seeing a larger trend in the modularization, or unbundling, of higher education. Within this model, students might choose to earn technical certifications, complete skills-based short courses such as coding bootcamps, or take massive open online courses instead of enrolling in traditional degree programs.
In Visible Learning for Teacher: Maximizing Impact on Learning, John Hattie describes the conditions that lead to identifying learning intentions and success criteria. He describes the learning equation as five variables that a teachers needs to understand and design around. Challenge represents a design criteria that every teacher faces: designing a learning experience that is…
The Ottawa Catholic School Board Tech on Wheels trailer transports tools between our schools, allowing students to explore the world of tech and test-drive various possible career paths through technology.
Leah Henrickson is no stranger to artificial intelligence.
The digital-media lecturer at the University of Leeds has been using AI in her classroom since 2018 by having her students "write" essays with text generators that can respond to different personalized prompts. After the model comes up with an answer, students break down these blocks of text and discuss the AI-generated arguments.
By approaching AI as a tool with her students, it compels her class to think about the possibilities and limitations of the technology to complete different creative tasks.
"We're getting our students to critically think about these tools," she said.
‘The whole is greater than the sum of its parts’, according to an old saying. That’s true when it comes to a product, like a motor vehicle, with the components having no standalone value unless combined to create a car.
We can also make a better whole by streamlining the production and quality of the various parts. For example, something like this happened in the car manufacturing industry when we saw the outsourcing of vehicle parts production to external providers for better quality and efficiency.
As it turns out, this analogy can also apply to higher education, given the increasing discussion about making learning programmes more relevant and responsive to the needs of end users through micro-credentials.
ChatGPT, the system that understands natural language and responds in kind, has caused a sensation since its launch less than three months ago. If you've tried it out, you'll surely have wondered what it will soon revolutionize — or, as the case may be, what it will destroy. Open Culture, openculture.com
Juan Domingo Farnós Miró Para analizar la calidad de una educación inclusiva, se pueden considerar diversos indicadores y métricas. Algunos de ellas incluyen: ---Participación de estudiantes con discapacidad: se puede analizar la cantidad de estudiantes con discapacidad que están matriculados y participando activamente en el aula. ---Accesibilidad a recursos y materiales: se puede evaluar si…
The truth is, if leveraged well, AI has the potential to greatly enhance students’ abilities to think critically and expand their soft skills. And for skeptics who are worried kids will stop learning basic skills, avoid practicing, and forget general facts if they can rely on an AI to answer for them, psychologists Edward Deci and Richard Ryan posit in their self-determination theory that humans are intrinsically driven by autonomy, relatedness, and competence—that is, they will continue to learn regardless of any shortcuts thrown their way. The creation of Wikipedia is a great example. We didn’t stop learning history or science just because we could now quickly look up dates and formulas online. Instead, we simply gained an additional resource to help us fact-check and facilitate learning.
