What Does 'Open' Mean? One Academic Weighs In

What Does 'Open' Mean? One Academic Weighs In | EdTech Tools | Scoop.it
"Openness is nothing like an absolute value."
Patty Ball's insight:

"

Can ABE/GED students manage their own learning, or is facilitation key? How do subscription based learning programs and free online sites compare? Should learners only spend time doing NRS reportable tasks, or should teachers integrate a wider range of source materials and learning experiences? Do students learn better in a structured course, or when they are encouraged to explore? Which model of providing educational resources helps adult ed programs with retention and expansion?"Robinson Meyer Sep 11 2013, 4:33 PM ET

Of MOOCs and Technology: Why True Education Is Not Content Delivery

Of MOOCs and Technology: Why True Education Is Not Content Delivery | EdTech Tools | Scoop.it
Today's students don't need more technology; they don't need more PowerPoint and computer-based learning platforms. What they need are enthusiastic and talented and creative teachers and professors who see education not as a job but as a calling.
Patty Ball's insight:

interesting discussion - don't think that someone who has never taken a MOOC is qualified to pass judgement. There are good and bad F2F and online courses; the same for teachers; books, tech, etc., My last online course was the best course of any kind I have ever taken
