An Open Letter to Grad Students / Teachers / Co-Learners: #FuturesEd

By Cathy Davidson. Dear Graduate Students, Teachers, Co-Learners,
Welcome! I can't wait to meet you.
If you are taking "Mapping the Futures of Higher Education," you are someone I am very excited to meet--someone willing to take risks that come with enormous rewards, someone with expansive curiosity, someone excited to work with people from other fields because you are interested in understanding the "why" and "how" of a committed intellectual life, someone dedicated to teaching as learning and learning as teaching.

#oeb14 Ola Rosling with a #flipped keynote approach

By Inge Ignatia de Waard. He merges his previously acquired knowledge from google, and is now taking it to education. He works now for Gapminder… think it is related to Hans Rosling (his father, as Ola pointed out).
In his keynote approach he tried to explore a flipped keynote approach. At the end of his keynote, I did have the feeling that it was not completely flipped. There was interaction, but no discussion, not learning from each other. But a very nice experiment, and useful to work on as a concept. Read more...

live blognotes from Howard #hRheingold #oeb14

By Inge Ignatia de Waard. I was quite excited to hear Howard Rheingold. He took the stage wearing a colourful shirt (colours being his visual trademark and passion).

Live blognotes from the keynote given by Howard Rheingold

Before technology => pedagogy. Without the best pedagogy, the technologies would not be so interesting.

Concepts of importance according to Howard (and agreeing)

Learner-centred: multiple learning is now possible, if you have access to media, and you know what you are doing as a learner. Read more...

#OEB2014 keynote debate #data corrupts #education

By Inge Ignatia de Waard. This is the transcript of what I plan to say during the OEB14 debate... but it will depend on my brain power and time itself (a bit of a long text). Feel free to share ideas and comments on it. Text follows the slides.
For those wanting to co-author on the potential negative effects of data on education, feel free to have a look at what I call 'the big data ramble, a plea for more human indicators' (beware that is a draft, so more chaotic than the text I bring below, but ... I want to use the chaotic draft as the basis of starting up a position paper with any of you who have an idea on the subject as co-author). Read more...

A world-class business education for free? Here's how.

By Sam Wood. Laurie Pickard wanted an education from a world-class business school. She didn’t want to pay the $168,000 for a degree from Wharton. So she found a way to get the education — though minus the sheepskin — for next to nothing.
Pickard is the creator of the No Pay MBA, and she is perhaps the first person to ever pursue a complete business education through massive open online courses (MOOCs) on the Internet. Read more...

Can you learn nanotechnology online?

By Alexandra Ossola. Virtual classrooms are reshaping higher education. But what does that mean for more hands-on, scientific fields?
You may remember 2012 as the year Whitney Houston died, or when you donated all that money to the effort to catch Joseph Kony, the Ugandan guerrilla leader notorious for making young boys into child soldiers. But, according to the New York Times, 2012 was also the year of the MOOC, or massive open online courses. Thousands of students all over the world can take courses online crafted by some of the top universities in the world, all for free. More...
