At $250,000 per course, it ought to be as good or better than F2F. If they can break off their shackles. I mean, look at what we're doing for between $0 and $15,000.

2010-03-27T18:08:45.536-07:00

To the question of "Who needs a professor when there's a tutor available?" I think there is a point missing. There is ample room for both professors and tutors in education. Their roles are different. Without the professor, the tutor is no longer a tutor, filling in the gaps in the student's understanding. He then becomes the professor, doing the teaching, which he is not adequately prepared to do. Not to downplay the role of tutors either, as I have myself been a personal tutor for over 25 years. A tutor fills a very important need, and in a way a professor cannot. A tutor gears his lessons to the learning style of the particular student. A tutor provides one-on-one instruction in detail in specific portions of the main topics, dictated by what the student needs in order to fully grasp the concepts.
Independent learners who wish to learn in an atmosphere outside of the classroom may be able to get along without the presence of a professor, but for students who thrive in the social setting of a public classroom, a professor is a necessary element.

The future is finally here.
Carnegie Mellon is developing software teaching the basics of instructional contents and making them available for free. That's great. We have been using proprietary software for awhile. I would say the outcome is OK, so they have room to improve in terms of effectiveness – they packaged activities without really thinking through how students learn. That's why I have a high hope for CM project since they have the best minds in cognitive science.

I found your association very meaningful to understand how behavioral aspects are directly related to morality. There’s no doubt that since birth we learn to distinguish the right from the wrong attitude, prevalent in society, which leads us to be accepted among our peers. I had studied several well written articles about behavioral and cognitive theories by Maurice Prout at www.MauriceProut.com. His writings are a great source for those who want to know more about behavioral conditioning and the process in which moral behavior takes place in our daily attitudes. http://www.mauriceprout.com/

Our team at the Gilfus Education Group just released this white paper to provide critical insights to practitioners while clarifying "Social Learning" as a concept.

Social Learning Buzz Masks Deeper Dimensions Mitigating the confusion surrounding “Social Learning” (Download Here)

It is our hope that by leveraging socially based technologies the education industry can shape a new educational technology paradigm that realizes the promises of true “Social Learning”.

By understanding its applications we can create a unique opportunity to improve student engagement, student retention, academic success and overall educational outcomes.

Hi Cable Green,
I think there are more potential great educators out there who are not in the education profession because they have degrees in other fields; at 17-18 they didn't think they would be great teachers but now have discovered skills and passion for teaching.

This video will help them reconsider aiming for an education degree again and making their lives more meaningful.

I saw from your profile that you are also an education director. In case you are not aware of it yet, there is an app that can be useful for your students in reviewing their video lectures at their own pace, and also for teachers in their professional online development courses. It's a simple app called MySpeed from enounce. So hopefully, you will check it out if it is useful for your education network.

Thanks

Love the title of this article, and the idea. I've definitely felt a reduction in the friction of learning that has come with the rise of the Internet - both in access to information and in connecting like-minded people around the globe.

I think you meant to say was that OCLC member-libraries that have made their holdings available via "WORLDCAT" will share their bibliographic records with Google. Right?
