Quick review of the Larnaca Learning Design Declaration

Quick review of the Larnaca Learning Design Declaration
Sheila MacNeill, Sheila’s work blog, January 9, 2013.
OK, I have to admit, my first thought on encountering this was to wonder why there would need to be a declaration on learning design. But the Larnaca Declaration is just that (though you'll need to click on a link to an MS-Word document to read it (PDF here)). It suggests an analogy by which we should understand learning design: musical notation. More...

The Objective of Education Is Learning, Not Teaching

The Objective of Education Is Learning, Not Teaching
Russell L. Ackoff and Daniel Greenberg, Knowledge@Wharton, January 6, 2013.

It's probably useful to see what the readers of Knowledge@Wharton (Law and Public Policy) are learning about education, and while on the one hand it is good to see a column that reports that "in most schools, memorization is mistaken for learning" and "the objective of education is learning, not teaching," the column itself is weak.

Outlook for online learning in 2013: online learning comes of age

Outlook for online learning in 2013: online learning comes of age
Tony Bates, Online Learning and Distance Education Resources, January 7, 2013.

As promised, Tony Bates has tallied a number of predictions for 2013 and beyond, each with probabilities attached. Some of them are vague and probably ("online learning starts to become a core activity", "hybrid learning... which I mean the re-design of courses to integrate the best of online and campus-based teaching"), some of them are unsuprising ("the evolution of MOOCs: the trough of disillusionment") and some of them are pretty niche ("online learning increasingly appearing as strategic initiatives within institutional plans"). More...

Growth for Online Learning

Growth for Online Learning
Doug Lederman, Inside Higher Ed, January 8, 2013.
Online learning has yet to show a plateau, according to the 2012 iteration of the Babson Survey Research Group's annual Survey of Online Learning.

Virtual Tours of Online Communities as Learning Journeys

Virtual Tours of Online Communities as Learning Journeys
Nancy White, Full Circle Associates, January 8, 2013.
Way back in the early days of the web, there was this thing called a 'web tour'. It stemmed from the idea that while a website would typically be an ordered liust of pages, a 'tour' could offer readers an alternative route through the pages or a subset of the pages. Later, the idea if a 'web tour' migrated to synchronous online sessions, where a session leader might lead participants through a series of sites. More...

Why predicting online learning developments is risky but necessary

Why predicting online learning developments is risky but necessary
Tony Bates, Online Learning and Distance Education Resources, January 5, 2013.
Tony Bates argues, convincingly, that we cannot avoid making predictions, not even in higher educations (after all, our jobs may depend on them), but if we must, then we should do them well. More...
