The Online Revolution: education for everyone (Daphne Koller) | Massively open education models have been in the news recently (e.g. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-18518508). One of the new organisations behind the story is Coursera (see www.coursera.org).
On 2 July 2012 the Centre for Distance Education were fortunate to welcome Professor Daphne Koller from Stanford University, a co-founder of Coursera, to the University of London for a talk about "The Online Revolution: Education for Everyone" and particularly the pedagogy/platform that sits behind Coursera. Coursera offers courses from the top universities, "for free to everyone". Current partners include Princeton University, Stanford University, University of California, Berkeley, University of Michigan-Ann Arbor, and University of Pennsylvania. The platform is designed to support millions of students on degree level units usually lasting 5 to 10 weeks. |

Learning the unlearnable - Prof. Richard Noss | Closing keynote presentation from Research in Distance Education 2011 conference, organised by the Centre for Distance Education. Presented by Professor Richard Noss (Co-Director, London Knowledge Lab, Institute of Education).
'Learning the unlearnable': Much of our time as educationalists is spent considering how to enhance the teaching and learning of knowledge that has been subject only to slight change over the last century. The development of these curricula was formed by the needs of a pre-computational era, with inert technologies, and forms of representations that are - for some subjects at least - now largely obsolete. In this lecture, I will re-evaluate what becomes possible to teach and learn that was, quite simply, more or less unlearnable and unteachable before. More info at www.cde.london.ac.uk. |

Technology enabled science learning - Prof. Eileen Scanlon | 'Technology enabled science learning': This presentation will consider research on elearning, in particular on technology enabled science learning conducted in the Institute of Educational Technology at the Open University. Since its inception forty years ago there has been an understanding of the potential role for media and technology in developing methods for teaching science at a distance, in particular the potential of using technology to meet the challenges of incorporating practical work in distance learning courses. The talk will
describe some different approaches taken to enhancing science learning using technology, including the use of mobile technology to support formal, informal and situated science education. Examples will be drawn from a range of current projects including iSpot (http://www.ispot.org.uk/), Personal Inquiry (http://www.pi‐project.ac.uk) and Out There in Here (http://www.open.ac.uk/blogs/otih/). |
