Here’s some posts which have caught my attention this month:
- Four things you shouldn’t worry about in higher education policy | Higher Education Network | Guardian Professional – April 26, 2011 – “An e-learning revolution
Nowhere is hyperbole stronger than in the realm of virtual and online learning. Commentators fall over themselves to proclaim the imminent death of face-to-face classroom learning and its replacement by the virtual variety, seemingly without any sense that such predictions are older than the internet.
Personally, I put these ideas in the same category as personal jet-packs, holidays to the moon and robot domestic servants. Online learning can enhance the student experience, but it seems unlikely to take over, unless young people also undergo a fundamental transformation in how they live and learn. Universities have lived through plenty of technology revolutions unscathed and demand for traditional places is higher than ever.” - ifttt blog – ifttt the beginning… – April 20, 2011
