Reality vs the portrait of EdTech - #edtalk

Reality vs the portrait of EdTech - #edtalk
Dean Groom, Playable, 2016/12/09
Dean Groom comments circumspectly about a phenomenon that has long existed in ed tech, the self-promotion of people in social media by people seeking to become recognized as authorities by dint of claiming ownership over words and inventions, forming self-referential circles of non-competitive entrepreneurs, and domination of various Twitter hastag discussions He writes, "It is a deliberate practice of seeking illusory power and influence based on nothing more than entertainment, names and naming." And it causes real harm. More...

Frederick County’s Call to Administrators: Focus on the “Innovator” and “Early Adopter” Teachers, First
Kevin Cuppett, EdSurge, 2016/12/08
I am asked this question a lot: how do we convince staff in our institution or district to adopt an innovation? This article describes exactly the response I give: focus on the early adopters and enthusiasts, support them by bringing them together and providing resources, and have them serve as the model and insiration for the remainder of the staff.

Educational Content Development Process in "CleverUniversity": Our Dynamic Adaptive Hypermedia Environment

Educational Content Development Process in "CleverUniversity": Our Dynamic Adaptive Hypermedia Environment
Ahmed Bouchboua, Rabah Ouremchi, Mohammed El Ghazi, International Journal of Emerging Technologies in Learning (IJET), 2016/12/08
This is a pretty good paper, though readers will no doubt find significant flaws. The authors propose an architecture for a CleverUniversity learning management system based on modeling and then matching resources across three sets of models: the domain model, which classifies and orders the subject of enquiry; the learner's model, which classifies learning styles, and the pedagogic model, which proposes a set of teaching frameworks.

Students Want Their Personal Data to be Used to Improve the College Experience, Survey Says

My Adult Learning Principles for the 21st Century

My Adult Learning Principles for the 21st Century
Kristin Glavis, HASTAC, 2016/12/07
I like this article by Kristin Glavis, a student at Saint Joseph's University. She outlines three major principles of adult learning that have guided her through her education:

  • Self-confidence - "confidence in their abilities, good self-esteem, support from others, and trust in others" (Merriam, Caffarella, & Baumgartner).
  • Experience - "people draw from their experiences in all aspects of their life—not just in the formal education setting."
  • Adaptability - "Adult learners seek out educational opportunities because they want to learn- they’re self-directed."

These are not going to be found on any formal curriculum, but they are at the heart of effective learning at any age. More...

Modifying an Open Textbook: What You Need to Know
Cheryl Cuillier, et.al., Open Textbook Network, 2016/12/02
This is a very basic guide and if you know nothing about modifying open documents, this is a good place to start. But it focuses almost exclusively on the different technical formats (and a bit on licenses) and not at all on how you might adapt contents for specific purposes. More...
