The Monsters of Education Technology (2014)

By Audrey Watters. I spent much of 2014 on the road, traveling and speaking extensively about education technology’s histories, ideologies, and mythologies. The Monsters of Education Technology is a collection of fourteen of those talks on topics ranging from teaching machines to convivial tools, from ed-tech mansplaining to information justice. For more information, visit the book website. More...

Pardon the Mess

By Audrey Watters. I'm spending the holidays updating all my sites. It isn't simply a matter of a new template or a new look. I'm moving everything out of my current CMS and onto Jekyll. My apologies if things are broken, particularly when it comes to the RSS feed. Send me an email if you find specific problems. Or better yet, since this is all on Github, file an issue. More...

The Move to Jekyll

By Audrey Watters. I’ve given all my websites a face lift over the holidays. It was time for a new “look” as I’d been tweaking the same WordPress theme for over 4 years.
The biggest change to my sites is actually under the hood, as I’ve moved from my old content management system to Jekyll. Jekyll is the engine behind GitHub Pages, which I’ve been using to run some of my Web projects – but not my blogs – for the past year and a half. More...

What Are We Missing in Higher Ed and How Can We Change It--Today?: Podcast

By Cathy Davidson. Punchline: On higher education: "Most of the apparatus of our higher educational system was developed between 1865 and 1925, for the industrial era of the telegraph and the Model T. We now live in a world where anyone who has an idea can communicate that to anyone else with an Internet connection--without an editor, without a pause button. We have astonishing new capacities . . . and a very old educational system. Here are easy, simple ways we can improve it. Today." More...

By Cathy Davidson. The wonderful New York Times writer Virginia Heffernan has written a very moving tribute to the beautiful Adrianne Wadewitz (1977-2014), celebrating all she did during a life far too short to make Wikipedia a stronger online resource, paying special attention to issues of women and gender. All who knew and admired and loved Adrianne will be both saddened and pleased to see this remarkable woman so honored, with some of the most famous celebrities, thinkers, writers, and others in the world. It is a fine tribute: http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2014/12/25/magazine/2014-the-lives-th. More...

A 2014 (Personal) Blogging Retrospective

By Michael Feldstein. Unlike many of the bloggers who I enjoy reading the most, I don’t often let my blogging wander into the personal except as a route to making a larger point. For some reason, e-Literate never felt like the right outlet for that. But with the holidays upon us, with some life cycle events in my family causing me to be a bit more introspective than usual, and with the luxury of having discovered Phil’s top 20 posts of the year post showing up in my inbox, I’m in the mood to ruminate about my personal journey in blogging, where it’s taken me so far, and what it means to me. In the process, I’ll also reflect a bit on what we try to do at e-Literate. More...

Helix Education puts their competency-based LMS up for sale

By Phil Hill. Back in September I wrote about the Helix LMS providing an excellent view into competency-based education and how learning platforms would need to be designed differently for this mode. The traditional LMS – based on a traditional model using grades, seat time and synchronous cohort of students – is not easily adapted to serve CBE needs such as the following:

Explicit learning outcomes with respect to the required skills and concomitant proficiency (standards for assessment)
A flexible time frame to master these skills
A variety of instructional activities to facilitate learning
Criterion-referenced testing of the required outcomes
Certification based on demonstrated learning outcomes
Adaptable programs to ensure optimum learner guidance. More...
