Siguiendo el interesante debate que tuvo lugar hace varios meses en este blog alrededor de los Rasgos del Aprendizaje 2.0, comparto en esta entrada mis reflexiones sobre algunas de las -probablemente muchas- iniciativas que habría que llevar a cabo para transformar el obsoleto sistema educativo actual y adaptarlo a las necesidades que surgen de esta nueva realidad.
Por aclarar el concepto, entiendo por Educación 2.0 aquella que se adapta a las necesidades reales de esta nueva época, abarcando el desarrollo de las personas más jóvenes desde un enfoque humanista, inspirada en los valores y comportamientos más positivos que -como la colaboración- han resurgido con la aparición de la web 2.0 y que aprovecha, haciendo uso extensivo de ellas, las nuevas tecnologías.
Las soluciones MOOC para la creación y gestión de cursos masivos en línea, es una de las últimas hot trends en la industria del e-learning. Aproximación inicial a herramientas como unX, Aprendo, Coursera, Lore, Canvas Network, OpenClass, edX, UniMOOC y Udacity.
El eLearning es una modalidad en auge y constante cambio. Nuevas herramientas de autoría, el uso de dispositivos móviles y novedosas estrategias de aprendizaje aplicadas a la tecnología, entre otros… son algunos de los factores que intervienen en el desarrollo de cursos eLearning.
I have to admit I would not be drawn to a blog post entitled so vacuously as, "what MOOC means to me" (so I thought up something catchy and made the real purpose of this post its subtitle). However, it's early days for working out what MOOC means for anyone. People have different ideas about what MOOC means, period. Obviously, the most relevant meaning is the one that reaches any one of us personally. MOOC means a lot to me, I'm going to try to pin down that meaning here, and maybe this will help you get your own grip on what MOOC might mean to you.
US academics are using the web to offer world-class tuition – free – to anyone who can log on, anywhere in the world.
Publishing, music, shopping, journalism – all revolutionised by the internet. Next in line? Education. Now US academics are offering world-class tuition – free – to anyone who can log on, anywhere in the world, is this the end of campus life?

A few weeks ago I was a guest on Rod Berger's Core of Education podcast. It went so well that Rod proposed the idea of a bi-weekly(ish) vodcast or video series in which we spend ten minutes or so talking about apps and trends in educational technology. We recorded the first episode today. In the episode (embedded below) we hit on TedEd and its role in education, MOOCs, QR codes, augmented reality, and flipped classrooms.
His latest book, coauthored with Michael B. Horn (HBS MBA '06) and Curtis W. Johnson, shows how the theory of disruptive innovation-which in a nutshell explains why organizations experience difficulty with particular types of innovation and how they might systematically succeed-offers promising insights for improving public education. The book is titled Disrupting Class: How Disruptive Innovation Will Change the Way the World Learns.

En las últimas décadas se han producido notables avances en el ámbito de la evaluación. Sin embargo, son todavía escasos los sistemas educativos que cuentan con modelos asentados de evaluación de escuelas y de evaluación de la práctica docente. La evaluación de los aprendizajes en el aula necesita cambios profundos. La evaluación de las propias políticas educativas y de los programas de innovación que desde ellas se impulsa tiene también poca tradición en nuestro entorno. El presente libro ofrece una panorámica de estos diversos niveles y ámbitos de la evaluación destacando los avances y los retos aún pendientes.
SEDA is the professional association for staff and educational developers in the UK, promoting innovation and good practice in higher education. SEDA is seen by many as the shaper of thought and initiator of action in staff and educational development, not only in the UK but in the international domain also.
Visualead's Visual QR Code Generator makes QR Codes more effective by instantly and seamlessly blending them with any design, attracting users and increasing engagement.
You might have missed it but right now there is another revolution going on: MOOC – Massive Open Online Courses. The idea is that exceptional teachers make their lectures available to everyone.
Dear Editor, Nationally, more students are participating in doctoral education than ever before. In particular, doctoral education has benefited from dramatic increases in enrollments of international students, minorities and women. Yet, at U.S. institutions, 63 percent of Ph.D. students in the field of economics (60 percent in engineering, 45 percent in physical and mathematical sciences), are foreigners.
Les than 4% of students pass the final at MIT online courses:

It is ironic that the management of education has become more closed while learning has become more open, particularly over the past 10-20 years. The curriculum has become more instrumental, predictive, standardized, and micro-managed in the belief that this supports employability as well as the management of educational processes, resources, and value. Meanwhile, people have embraced interactive, participatory, collaborative, and innovative networks for living and learning. To respond to these challenges, we need to develop practical tools to help us describe these new forms of learning which are multivariate, self-organised, complex, adaptive, and unpredictable. We draw on complexity theory and our experience as researchers, designers, and participants in open and interactive learning to go beyond conventional approaches. We develop a 3D model of landscapes of learning for exploring the relationship between prescribed and emergent learning in any given curriculum. We do this by repeatedly testing our descriptive landscapes (or footprints) against theory, research, and practice across a range of case studies. By doing this, we have not only come up with a practical tool which can be used by curriculum designers, but also realised that the curriculum itself can usefully be treated as emergent, depending on the dynamics between prescribed and emergent learning and how the learning landscape is curated.
Los codirectores de FLEFF, Patricia Zimmermann y Thomas Shevory, describieron ampliamente la definición de microtopías en el sitio web oficial de FLEFF: Las microtopías nos piden que imaginemos el mundo de otra manera, sin restricciones ni limitaciones, para mejorar el entorno inmediato … Si la utopía reside en ninguna parte, las microtopías surgen por todas. Si la utopía sugiere perfección, la microtopía define la adaptación.
To read about higher education today, one might get the impression that the whole ivy-covered edifice is on shaky ground, ready to collapse. Universities are certainly facing big challenges, but much of what’s being said seems to me wildly pessimistic. The metaphors used to describe this parlous state I find particularly amusing.
In a traditional classroom, the teacher is the center of attention, the owner of knowledge and information. Teachers often ask questions of their students to gauge comprehension, but it’s a passive model that relies on students to absorb information they need to reproduce on tests.
What would happen if the roles were flipped and students asked the questions?
ifteen-year-old Adora Svitak knows students nowadays “live, work and play” social media.“We’re used to the characteristics of social media: participation, connection, instant gratification,” she tells Mashable, “and when school doesn’t offer the same, it’s easy to tune out.”
To help more educators learn about the benefits of using social media in the classroom, Adora recently taught nearly 3,000 teachers, principals and administrators how to implement Twitter and Facebook into their lives.
