Mass Customization of Education by an Institution of HE: What Can We Learn from Industry?

Mass Customization of Education by an Institution of HE: What Can We Learn from Industry?
Robert Schuwer, Rob Kusters, International Review of Research in Open, Distance Learning (IRRODL), May 5, 2014

So this seems like a good time to restate a distinction I've been using for some time now:

personalized - a common product is adapted for use by an individual
personal - a unique produced is created for and possibly by the individual

A similar distinction appears with similar terms. So, for example, a custom car is one that was built especially for you, while a customized car is a production-line car with features adjusted to your specification. More...

MOOCopoly: The Game

MOOCopoly: The Game
Alan Levine, CogDogBlog, May 5, 2014
Just for fun (and as part of the Daily Create challenge 486 - make a board game) Alan Levine created this fun version of MOOCopoly. "I came across a Monopoly template in Photoshop," he writes, "found within a 2008 blog post by Brad Frost. Yep, a self hosted blog strikes again. More...

Understanding and learning outcomes

Understanding and learning outcomes
May 9, 2014µ
Gardner Campbell examines "the seemingly endless fascination with 'learning outcomes'" and the ingenious idea that "teachers should think about what they believe should happen in the student as a result of the class." But this, he says, leads toward a behaviourist paradigm and away from "the cognitivist turn" that has characterized education in recent years. It leads toward 'specific knowledge'. "Two of the words we must never, ever use are 'understand' and 'appreciate.'" - we are told that these are vague words, when (as Chronicle blogger Robert Talbert says) we should specific words to describe outcomes. Mushy objectives can't be measured. But it's not so much that they're mushy (and here I'm reading into him a bit) but they're complex. The paradoxes that seem to abound in learning are actually reflective of the underlying nature of learning. More...

A new talk sketched daily

A new talk sketched daily, by fan Stefani Bachetti
Kate Torgovnick May, TED Blog, May 6, 2014
I actually like this Tumblr feed featuring a sketch of a new TED talk every weekday (at a certain point the author has to run out of TED talks but that will be a while). I think that what really shows up in these diagrams is the essential similarity between TED talks - the compelling story, the one-line message, a few compelling figures or data sets, the emotional strings.

Disrupting Colonial Mindsets: The Power of Learning Networks

Disrupting Colonial Mindsets: The Power of Learning Networks
Catherine McGregor, In Education, May 16, 2014

This paper offers an example of "how one particular teacher-learning network—the Aboriginal Enhancement Schools Network (AESN) in British Columbia, Canada, offers a powerful example of how teacher learning networks can enable deep and transformational change among participating teachers and leaders." It merges the concept of the community of practice with the need for non-hierarchal and inclusive leadership. More...

20th Century Assessment In A 21st Century Learning Environment

20th Century Assessment In A 21st Century Learning Environment
Terry Heick, TeachThought, May 2, 2014
Why is there so much emphasis (still!) on testing? "According to SmarterBalanced.org, the per-student cost for testing is currently around $31 per student. Multiply that by nearly fifty million students, and you’ve got a big pile of money up for grabs. More...

Yahoo Ditches “Do Not Track”: Lack Of Standards Said Too Confusing
Marketing Land, Ginny Marvin, May 2, 2014

So what we have here is a group of companies (Google, Facebook, Yahoo) creating standards confusion, and then using standards confusion as a reason not to implement a customer-friendly feature. More...

Why Connectivism is a Learning Theory

Why Connectivism is a Learning Theory
Geoff Cain, Brainstorm in Progress, May 1, 2014
Yeah, this is kind of how I see it too: "Most of the criticisms I have read of Connectivism boil down to the new theory is not like the old theories." This is asserted in by Geoff Cain as he explains why the 'incompleteness' (David Wiley's concern) of connectivism doesn't mean it's not a theory. More...

Visualizing my understanding of connectivism

Visualizing my understanding of connectivism
Matthias Melcher, x28’s new Blog, May 1, 2014

Connectivism, as I describe it, suggests that there are different types of knowing networks. A human neural network is one. A society (or social network) is another. A neural net computer program is another. So far so good. But Geoff Cain asks the question: "how are these related? The recent criticisms show that it is difficult to reconcile these two." I would point out that there is no particular requirement that they be reconciled. More...

Amplify (Corrected Link)

Amplify (Corrected Link)
Corrected link for Amplify. Sorry about that. Also worth noting along the same lines is SoftChaos's Webstractor, a product that allows you to save, edit and merge web pages. Very frustrating though - the site provides absolutely no installation instructions and does not even tell you whether it works on Windows or Mac or whatever. More...
