Moodle MOOC 2: Habits of Effective Connected Learners

http://wqimg.s3.amazonaws.com/ut/ult/Integrating-Technology-4-Active-Lifelong-Learning-426515.jpgHabits of Effective Connected Learners by Stephen Downes
Working and learning in an online environment is fundamentally different from working and learning in a physical environment. It becomes much more important to make connections and leverage the store of knowledge at your disposal. Relations between people depend more on cooperation and less on collaboration. Information that was valuable only when withheld is now valuable only when shared. Marketing gives way to meaning. In this presentation, Stephen Downes reviews the habits he has cultivated to thrive as a learner and researcher online, providing practical advice from network theory and a lifetime of experience.
Stephen Downes works for the National Research Council of Canada where he has served as a Senior Researcher, based in Moncton, New Brunswick, since 2001. Affiliated with the Learning and Collaborative Technologies Group, Institute for Information Technology, Downes specializes in the fields of online learning, new media, pedagogy and philosophy.
Downes is perhaps best known for his daily newsletter, OLDaily, which is distributed by web, email and RSS to thousands of subscribers around the world, and as the originator of the Massive Open Online Course (MOOC). He is a popular speaker, appearing at hundreds of events around the world over the last fifteen years. He has published hundreds of articles both online and in print through two decades of research and development into learning networks and related technologies. More...

Students lacking 'real life' experience, warns Willetts

http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSoQTWRsBvjCbs_LMFsFghL7rCYnNTmB1LkWqkyra9lZrNRU1SQGVddb74By . Many students are ill-prepared for the world of work because degrees such as science and engineering are being “delivered on paper” without real life experience, the Universities Minister has warned.
Courses in practical subjects are often too theoretical and appear to have “lost touch with the reality of modern business”, according to David Willetts.
In an interview with the Telegraph, he outlined radical plans designed to raise standards in core disciplines such as science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) that are seen as vital to the economic recovery. More...

Warning over sharp drop in number of part-time students

http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSoQTWRsBvjCbs_LMFsFghL7rCYnNTmB1LkWqkyra9lZrNRU1SQGVddb74By . The number of students taking part-time courses at British universities has plummeted by a more than 100,000 in just two years, according to research.
Figures show a 40 per cent drop in candidates studying while holding down a job or balancing family commitments, it emerged.
The study by Universities UK, the vice-chancellors’ group, warned that students were being driven away from part-time courses because of a "perfect storm" of pressure on household budgets during the financial crisis combined with a rise in tuition fees. More...

19000ème article sur le blog / Student life: the benefits of studying outside London

http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSoQTWRsBvjCbs_LMFsFghL7rCYnNTmB1LkWqkyra9lZrNRU1SQGVddb74By Billy Sexton. Studying in London isn’t the be all and end all of student life. There are just as many benefits to studying in a smaller city, says undergraduate Billy Sexton.
London – the financial centre of the UK and the desired destination for many university graduates who care little for steep rent and commuting costs.
A move to the capital will undoubtedly cross the minds of most students while they’re studying at university, which is hardly surprising given that London has the highest proportion of graduate recruitment vacancies at 42.4% of the job market, according to the Association of Graduate Recruiters.

Universities 'cutting entry requirements' for poor students

http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSoQTWRsBvjCbs_LMFsFghL7rCYnNTmB1LkWqkyra9lZrNRU1SQGVddb74By . Top universities are secretly admitting poor students with lower entry grades amid growing political pressure to boost access to higher education, a report has suggested.
Rising numbers of institutions are cutting entry requirements at the last minute to allow students who “miss their target grades” to get a place, it emerged.
Researchers found that only a minority of universities make lower “upfront” offers to teenagers from deprived backgrounds in advance, instead choosing to “reassess” these students if they fall short of entry grades after A-level results are published. More...

How can universities support students to work harder?

Times Higher EducationBy Edward Acton. A new generation of ‘dual-intensive’ universities can do the job, argues Edward Acton. How many people actually work at the Bank of England?” went the question when I was a trainee there in the 1970s, the answer being: “About half.” That jibe has often run through my mind as evidence has mounted of a sharp decline in the academic effort required of UK undergraduates.

EU exit would leave UK universities ‘in thrall to US model’

Times Higher EducationBy . If the UK were to leave the European Union, the nation’s universities would be left in even greater “ideological thrall” to the US. That is the argument set out by Sir Peter Scott, professor of education studies at the Institute of Education, University of London, in his contribution to a series of essays on the implications that leaving the EU would have for the UK.

Push for paid: a student guide to internships

http://static.guim.co.uk/static/37760fb37d456760d257b5efb7ef6fc9b7070819/common/images/logos/the-guardian/news.gifBy . Internships can be great opportunities for students, but they can also be exploitative. Here's how to land a good internship that will give you vital experience and could help you get a job. Having experience of the working world is essential for getting a job, and students are encouraged to get these skills by interning as much as possible. Over 50% of employers say they wouldn't give a job to a graduate with no experience, revealed a 2013 report. More...

Number of part-time students plummets after 'perfect storm'

http://static.guim.co.uk/static/37760fb37d456760d257b5efb7ef6fc9b7070819/common/images/logos/the-guardian/news.gifThe Guardian. Tuition fee hike, tough economic climate and pressures on employers among factors blamed by report for 40% drop in numbers. The number of people choosing to study part time in England has plummeted by 40% in the past two years – the equivalent of 105,000 fewer students, according to a study published on Wednesday.
