Commodity Value vs Values

A university (Latin: "universitas", "a whole") is an institution of higher education and research which grants academic degrees in a variety of subjects and provides both undergraduate education and postgraduate education. The word "university" is derived from the Latin universitas magistrorum et scholarium, which roughly means "community of teachers and scholars.”

Student Experience - Employability

http://www.qaa.ac.uk/Publications/InformationAndGuidance/Documents/Student-Experience-Research-2012-Part-1.pdf

Student Experience Students want academic staff to develop their teaching styles to be more engaging, interactive and use technology and props to make the subject more accessible and interesting. Developing an active learning style is a teaching skill which needs to be taught and developed over time.

Students were clear that they valued their experiences of working in small groups during teaching time and through assessments because they understood how these skills could be transferable in an employment context. They did not, however, mention any other transferable skills which they have acquired.

Questions on assessment and feedback have once again shown a disconnect between what students are looking for, and what is provided by institutions. Students are still requesting more discussion based feedback with academics and their peers, and want feedback to be more accessible and available online.

Learning  Meet  Big  Data  

Data trails reveal our sentiments, our attitudes, our social connections, our intentions, what we know, how we learn, and what we might do next.    The Data Intensive University – Siemens (2012)

Big Data & Analytics “Analy4cs,  and  the  data  and  research  that  fuel  it,  offers  the  poten4al  to  iden4fy  broken  models  and  promising  prac4ces,  to  explain  them,  and  to  propagate  those  prac4ces.”  

Grajek,  2011

Apgar Tests in Class?

Virginia Apgar

“The ways you communicate with students, the way chairs are arranged in the room, the fact of there being a room, inside a building inside an institution inside staff cultures, student cultures, professional cultures, broader social cultures -- all these layers are bound together, laminated, and much of our task as educators is to unpick the quotidian assumptions that bind them and ask - does it really need to be like that? can we do things differently and better?” – Maharg (2014)

I  oNen  found  it  hard  work  understanding  the  textbooks.  I  felt  that  a  lot  of  the  4me  they  

were  unclear,  badly  phrased  and  could  have  explained  complicated  topics  be`er.  They  also  frequently  seemed  to  over-­‐complicate  topics  

that  actually  weren't  that  complex.  

I  think  one  would  take  in  more  from  the  

textbooks  if  there  was  more  visual  s4mula4on,  

perhaps  a  bit  of  colour.  

Contract - The sections on remedies and damages was very disjointed and speaking with fellow students they agree that this is the most unclear area of the Contract course. Manuals. The manuals tended to be 'wordy' where it was not necessary. For example sentences such as 'Now we will use what you have just read in an activity' are pointless and just elongate the reading time.

Learning and Performance Support Systems

http://halfanhour.blogspot.no/2013/12/learning-and-performance-support-systems.html

A new $19 million 5-year initiative at the National Research Council lead by Stephen Downes

Learning as a Cloud Service – will create a distributed learning layer, which is a mechanism for working with data no matter where it is stored, through desktop, mobile and other devices. Resource Repository Network – will create a resource graph of learning/training resources data from multiple sources and multiple formats including live and dynamic data such as workplace data, plant instrumentation, or market information. Personal Learning Record – will define how we represent, capture, and leverage user activity, including ratings, test results, performance measures, and the like, in a distributed learning and work environment. Automated Competence Development and Recognition – whereas existing recommender systems depend on manually defined metrics and taxonomies, this system will detect new and emerging competences and automatically assess employee performance. Personal Learning Assistant – will develop an integrated learning appliance, a mechanism for looking up or finding references or resources inside other programs or environments.
