The 21st Century University - Valerie Irvine and Jillianne Code for Change11

 
 
Change11 - Week#16 
Valerie Irvine and Jillianne Code - The 21st Century University
January 11, 2012

Week#16 Overview: http://mooc.wikispaces.com/Irvine+%26+Code

Valerie & Jillianne discuss issues facing brick and mortar universities in the current global context of post-secondary education. The economic situation facing most universities is one of diminishing funds through cutbacks, increasing competition both locally and globally as a result of the increasing number of post-secondary institutions (specifically colleges and online universities) and the growing prevalence of online programs. We are also dealing with a natural demographic phenomenon whereby the number of people aged 18-22 are smaller than in previous boom eras. What can brick and mortar Universities do to adapt, innovate, remain both competitive and relevant in this situation? In essence, become part of the 21st century? We will discuss the issues universities face and how they can meet the demands of students for flexibility. They also  propose a solution which is being piloted today at the University of Victoria through a new delivery method we have termed multi-access learning. Through modification of our registration system, we will be able to let the learner choose the delivery method they want for course enrollment.
 

Howard Rheingold Presentation & Discussion for Change11

 
Howard Rheingold discusses his new book and topics related to 
"Net Smart: Introduction to fundamental social media literacies"
 
One important step that people can take is to become more adept at five essential literacies for a world of mobile, social, and always-on media: attention, crap detection, participation, collaboration, and network know-how. The effects of these literacies can both empower the individuals who master them and improve the quality of the digital culture commons.

EdTechWeekly 203 - OERu, The Missing Middle Piece, & Change11 Interaction ?'s

 

EdTechWeekly#203
October 30, 2011

Topics: Jen starts us off by examining issues brought out during Rory McGreal'sChange11 presentation about 'OER for Learning' and OERu Specifically, we contemplate the role of the teacher and/or learning institution when using Open Educational Resources and what about the 'missing piece' between open content and assessment?  John relates this all to his current MOOC experience and his daughter's experience being virtually schooled. Jeff harasses Dave a bit about the lack of interaction during Change11's Friday reflection sessions and the boys stick around for a short post-show as Jen flees the scene.  A good time was had by all.
