Does the use of Twitter Improve Education?

Does the use of Twitter Improve Education? | Create, Innovate & Evaluate in Higher Education | Scoop.it

By George Couros

 

There has been post after post acknowledging how educators love Twitter while also encouraging others to use it themselves. With that though comes skeptics (as there should be), questioning whether the use of Twitter is beneficial to educators. I have thought about that question a lot and I can give a definitive answer: yes and no ( I am 100% certain of this).

MOOC Could Make Education More Accessible - rate of MIT students passing is low - and MOOChisteria

MOOC Could Make Education More Accessible - rate of MIT students passing is low - and MOOChisteria | Create, Innovate & Evaluate in Higher Education | Scoop.it

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:

No es una exageración afirmar que hay ciento de aplicaciones educativas por ahí por la red, para todos los gustos y de todos los colores, por lo que es difícil tratar de recogerlas todas en un listado. Sin embargo, algunas destacan más que otras por su innovación y por su capacidad para conseguir adeptos, y esas son las que protagonizan la presente recopilación.

Son 50 interesantes herramientas online basadas en las recopilaciones de EduArea, las muchas ya tratadas en Wwwhat’s new y las destacadas por la experiencia.

Footprints of emergence |The International Review of Research in Open and Distance Learning

Footprints of emergence |The International Review of Research in Open and Distance Learning | Create, Innovate & Evaluate in Higher Education | Scoop.it

By Roy Trevor Williams (1), Jenny Mackness (2), and Simone Gumtau (1)
(1) University of Portsmouth, United Kingdom, (2) Independent Consultant, United Kingdom

 

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.

For Students, Why the Question is More Important Than the Answer

For Students, Why the Question is More Important Than the Answer | Create, Innovate & Evaluate in Higher Education | Scoop.it

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.

Macro of sharpened colored pencils aranged in a circle, cortesía de Horia Varlan

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.

When is a MOOC not a MOOC? - Professors and universities debating - Enterprises releasing iPad Apps

When is a MOOC not a MOOC? - Professors and universities debating - Enterprises releasing iPad Apps | Create, Innovate & Evaluate in Higher Education | Scoop.it

By Vance Stevens:


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.

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.

The top three hoary metaphors of the higher-ed apocalypse | University Affairs

The top three hoary metaphors of the higher-ed apocalypse | University Affairs | Create, Innovate & Evaluate in Higher Education | Scoop.it

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.

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.
