Publicado en OLDaily el 07/01/2022
What is the real reason, according to Matt Crosslin? "It’s all about the power and control. Leaders can’t control their students, faculty, and staff remotely like they can on campus." Now it's true people say online learning is inherently worse. But the research says...

This post raises some very good questions about how academic activities, such as speaking engagements, are funded. But it also, I think, speaks from a position of privilege. Specifically, writes Shannon Dea, "Since I wouldn’t put 'sponsored by the Koch Foundation' on my...

Publicado en OLDaily el 07/01/2022
Developers and practitioners have come to realize that OER require support and an infrastructure, and this has been realized through such mechanisms as open online courses and open practices. In this plenary Stephen Downes describes these developments both from a historical context and also to develop a broader framework of support. Drawing from examples in other fields, including social media, streaming video, and open source software, he identifies key elements of a broad-based...

Publicado en OLDaily el 06/01/2022
The challenge addressed by this article is that "skills development is often not (well) embedded in the overall curriculum." So it can be difficult to develop these skills when they're not explicitly defined as curricular outcomes. The response, writes Alexandra Mihai, is "...

Jim Groom and his colleagues at Reclaim are returning to their roots in educational technology, a development that makes me happy. Not that I don't love old arcade games and online radio and karaoke and all the rest, but ed tech is where I make my home, and all this fancy cloud stuff is...

The first thing I'll do here is praise Bryan Alexander first for trying this game out with students and second for describing it so well. It clearly engaged students and provided some valuable experience. Now to turn to the inevitable criticisms, I'm going to accuse him of rigging the game. Of the eight roles defined, five were management. The 'random' events were...
