The Impacts of Guided Peer-Feedback on Students’ Learning Achievements and Project Outcomes in Science Courses

Creating Interactive E-Books through Learning by Design: The Impacts of Guided Peer-Feedback on Students’ Learning Achievements and Project Outcomes in Science Courses
Gwo-Jen Hwang, Nien-Ting Tu, Xiao-Ming Wang, Educational Technology & Society, 2018/01/08
A couple of things are going on in this article. First is the design of the interactive e-book itself, which serves as an illustration of this approach in learning technology. Second is the assessment of the "quasi-experimental design method" employed in the design of the interactive e-Books. More...

Patterns of Inclusion: Fostering Digital Citizenship through Hybrid Education

Patterns of Inclusion: Fostering Digital Citizenship through Hybrid Education
Alex Young Pedersen, Rikke Toft Nørgaard, Christian Köppe, Educational Technology & Society, 2018/01/08
This is an erudite and intelligent paper combining three major threads. First, the idea of digital citizenship as an extension of T.H. Marshall's influential conception of social, economic and political rights and responsibilties. Second is the elucidation of hybrid education based on the concepts of 'becoming', which leads to plurality ("nobody is ever the same as anyone else who ever lived, lives or will live.”), and 'belonging', as seen in the concept of community ("this reconsideration of digital citizenship takes aim at the philosophical and ethical foundations for a reconfiguration of education").

National Research Council lays out a four-year reform plan

National Research Council lays out a four-year reform plan
Brian Owens, University Affairs, 2018/01/11
This post covers recent developments at the National Research Council (NRC), where I work. It's generally accurate and reflective of the changes happening at the Council. Yes, there is an effort to re-engage with universities, as well as to begin hiring post-doctoral fellows. The former 'portfolios' are becoming research centres. But the core of the changes made in the Harper years remains. More...

5 big ideas for education innovation in 2018

5 big ideas for education innovation in 2018
Julia Freeland Fisher, Christensen Institute, 2018/01/11
It's getting past time to be predicting what will happen in 2018 but I wanted to add one more here. This article talks about what needs to be done in 2018, and as such, is a useful contribution. Included in the list: being clear about what we mean when we talk about just-in time supports; changing the debate from 'technology bad-or-evil' to 'constructivism or behaviourism'; talk about accountability; talk about student networks; and look internationally for dusruptions in education. More...

Turnitin User Agreement: I disagree

Turnitin User Agreement: I disagree
Hans de Zwart, 2018/01/11
This clause - not unique to TurnItIn - is a problem: "You acknowledge and agree that the form and nature of the Services and the Site which Turnitin provides may change from time to time without prior notice to You." I've seen it just about everywhere, and exercised by various service providers fairly frequently. More...

This is what a 50-qubit quantum computer looks like

This is what a 50-qubit quantum computer looks like
Nick Summers, Engadget, 2018/01/10
This is a fascinating set of photos from a display at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. Normally the computer would have a case, but here we can see the coils and coolant arrangements needed to keep this 50 quantum bit (qubit) computer functioning. More...

Grade inflation could be the next battleground for higher education

Grade inflation could be the next battleground for higher education
Allan Howells, Wonkhe, 2018/01/26
The argument against grade inflation is based on the absurd premise that education isd a competition that ought to have far nore losers than winners. That, at least, is my view. This article points out "There is no doubt that improvements in primary and secondary school education have better-prepared students for their transition into higher education." As well, students "in a market economy and paying fees of £9,000+ per year, are demanding better degree outcomes." But let's not forget the real victims here. More...

Higher Education Is Drowning in BS

Higher Education Is Drowning in BS
Christian Smith, https://www.chronicle.com//img/photos/biz/photo_85241_landscape_650x433.jpg, 2018/01/26
Perhaps unaware of Harry G. Frankfurt's publication employing the same rhetorical device, Christian Smith launches into a tirade lashing the contemporary university for everything from "universities hijacked by the relentless pursuit of money and prestige" to "third-tier universities offering mediocre graduate programs to train second-rate Ph.D. students for jobs that do not exist." Ah, but I love a good rant, and this is a good rant. More...
