rSmart to Asahi to Scriba: What is happening to major Sakai partner?

By Phil Hill.

Worth Considering: Faculty perspective on student-centered pacing

By Phil Hill. Over the weekend I wrote a post based on the comment thread at Friday’s Chronicle article on e-Literate TV.

One key theme coming through from comments at the Chronicle is what I perceive as an unhealthy cynicism that prevents many people from listening to students and faculty on the front lines (the ones taking redesigned courses) on their own merits.

Blogphilosophy: age and learning, my son and I

Inge Ignatia de WaardBy Inge Ignatia de Waard. Learning comes natural, and happens on a daily basis.As soon as the learning gene is put inside of us, we learn. We have to. We learn on our own, from non-living objects, in collaboration with all there is in the world, with all that interests our senses. And at every moment, it is the change that we feel or think we feel which we call learning. As such it is never the content which makes the difference, but the change that is taking place due to stimuli from within and/or from the outside. Read more...
