From NMC’s Horizon Project 10-year Anniversary Retreat, Austin, January 2012
"Computers won't begin to have a real impact
 on education until they are seen as the
 message rather than the
 medium. Computers ought not be a new
 means of producing a slide show.”
                                  -R. Schank

So, What is Wrong with Higher Ed?
I mean, is there really something wrong?
Or it’s just a media fad?
As quoted by G. Campbell, EDUCAUSE ELI 2012, Austin, February 2012
The Education Bubble?
Peter Thiel - unCollege
       “If Harvard were really the best education, if
       it makes that much of a difference, why not
       franchise it so more people can attend? Why
       not create 100 Harvard affiliates?” ... “It’s
       something about the scarcity and the status.
       In education your value depends
       on other people failing.”
 Peter Thiel: We’re in a Bubble and It’s Not the Internet. It’s Higher Education.
 Sarah Lacy,  TechCrunch, April 10, 2011: http://techcrunch.com/2011/04/10/peter-thiel-were-in-a-bubble-and-its-not-the-internet-its-higher-education/
Quality?
       Arum & Roska:

       45% of students showed “no significant improvement”
       over one year of study (freshmen in fall 2005 through spring
       2007). 36% showed no improvement after the whole 4 years
       of college “education”.
       “American higher education is characterized by limited
       or no learning for a large proportion of students.”
“Your So-Called Education”, The New York Times May 14, 2011; http://www.nytimes.com/2011/05/15/opinion/15arum.html?_r=3

“Large numbers of the students were making their way through college with minimal exposure to rigorous
coursework, only a modest investment of effort and little or no meaningful improvement in skills like writing
and reasoning. In a typical semester, for instance, 32 percent of the students did not take a single course with
more than 40 pages of reading per week, and 50 percent did not take any course requiring more than 20
pages of writing over the semester. The average student spent only about 12 to 13 hours per week studying
— about half the time a full-time college student in 1960 spent studying.”
Still...

   “Universities continue to
     serve as remarkable
            engines of
           innovation”
                  -S. Johnson
The Myths
Myth Zero

Learning
Happens in the
Classroom.
Because we
deliver
instruction
Lecture
              Etymology
              14th century: action of
              reading, that which is read,
              from the Latin lectus, pp. of
              legere "to read."
              oral discourse on a given
              subject before an audience for
              purposes of instruction is from
              the 16th century.

              Verb "to lecture" ~ 1590.


    c. 1350

... Without studying (or action)
And no responsibility!! [Upon the student]
The Student: Namely, she who studies!!!
Studying

 There is so little “studying” going on in Colleges
 that “there is no compelling understanding among
 students of why they are there. [...] They may spend
 Monday in ‘19th Century Women’s Literature’,
 Tuesday in “Animal Behavior’, and Wednesday in
 ‘Eastern Philosophy’...”
 What is a college education really worth?, The Washington Post,
 June 3, 2011.
More Study


Study, the word less used in
education.

occurrences of verb “to

Content & LMS
“Blackboard is itself an embodiment of the university culture that
Neary and Winn rightly find so troubling: students cycle through a
system that structurally, aesthetically and
rhetorically reinforces the notions that
education is consumption, the faculty
member is a content provider, the classroom
is hierarchical, and learning is closed”
Luke Waltzer, On EdTech and the Digital Humanities;  http://lukewaltzer.com/on-edtech-and-the-digital-humanities


Neary, Mike and Winn, Joss (2009) The student as producer: reinventing the student experience in higher
education. In: The future of higher education: policy, pedagogy and the student experience. Continuum, London,
pp. 192-210.
Let's shutter our "learning
management systems" and build
"understanding
augmentation networks"
instead, moving away from
educational assembly lines
toward intellectual ecosystems of
interest and curiosity.

Death of The Book
Death of the
Book
     Ceci tuera cela (via
     Eco & McLuhan)
Hugo's Hunchback of Notre Dame, Frollo,
comparing a book with his old cathedral,
says: "Ceci tuera cela" (The book will kill
the cathedral, the alphabet will kill
images).

McLuhan, comparing a Manhattan
discotheque to the Gutenberg Galaxy, said
"Ceci tuera cela."

Nunberg, G. (1997) The Future of the Book. Berkeley; University of
California Press. Eco’s afterword is available online at http://
www.themodernword.com/eco/eco_future_of_book.html.
Death of an Industry?

     it makes increasingly less sense even to talk about a
     publishing industry, because the core problem publishing
     solves - the incredible difficulty, complexity, and expense
     of making something available to the public - has
     stopped being a problem.

 Departmentalization of knowledge and its effects

 Mark C. Taylor, a religion scholar at Columbia University, has
 a vision of a University where “zones of inquiry can be
 organized around a broad range of topics: Mind, Body. Law,
 Information, Networks, Language, … and Water.” Can you
 imagine a Water program? It could “bring together people
 in the humanities, arts, sciences... with professional schools
 like Medicine, law...”
 “End the University as We Know It”; The New York Times of 27 April 2009,
 Mark C. Taylor
Dave Winer proposes

              “We should aim to recreate the
              environment that made the Internet
              itself spring into existence, in
              academic institutions.”

"We're going to have
detailed records on
thousands of students who
have learned these skills,
many of whom will want to
make those skills available
to employers," said Mr.
Evans, the Virginia
professor. "So if a recruiter
is looking for the hundred
best people in some
geographic area that know
about machine learning,
that's something we could
provide, for a fee. I think it's
the cusp of a revolution."

Zen of Teaching

  • 1. MOOC Edition #change11 Zen of Teaching <Myths of Teaching, Learning & Technology> <Antonio Vantaggiato</> Universidad del Sagrado Corazón zenofteaching.us
  • 3. The limits of my language are the limits of my world -L. Wittgenstein
  • 4. This video says it all. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WW_dBQPAeDY

  • 8. From NMC’s Horizon Project 10-year Anniversary Retreat, Austin, January 2012
  • 9. "Computers won't begin to have a real impact on education until they are seen as the message rather than the medium. Computers ought not be a new means of producing a slide show.” -R. Schank
  • 10. Web 2.0 > Learning 2.0 The Web: Fundamental pedagogic environment (Suter 2005)
  • 11. Also, a living environment
  • 12. So, What is Wrong with Higher Ed? I mean, is there really something wrong? Or it’s just a media fad?
  • 13. As quoted by G. Campbell, EDUCAUSE ELI 2012, Austin, February 2012
  • 15. Peter Thiel - unCollege “If Harvard were really the best education, if it makes that much of a difference, why not franchise it so more people can attend? Why not create 100 Harvard affiliates?” ... “It’s something about the scarcity and the status. In education your value depends on other people failing.” Peter Thiel: We’re in a Bubble and It’s Not the Internet. It’s Higher Education. Sarah Lacy,  TechCrunch, April 10, 2011: http://techcrunch.com/2011/04/10/peter-thiel-were-in-a-bubble-and-its-not-the-internet-its-higher-education/
  • 16. Quality? Arum & Roska: 45% of students showed “no significant improvement” over one year of study (freshmen in fall 2005 through spring 2007). 36% showed no improvement after the whole 4 years of college “education”. “American higher education is characterized by limited or no learning for a large proportion of students.” “Your So-Called Education”, The New York Times May 14, 2011; http://www.nytimes.com/2011/05/15/opinion/15arum.html?_r=3 “Large numbers of the students were making their way through college with minimal exposure to rigorous coursework, only a modest investment of effort and little or no meaningful improvement in skills like writing and reasoning. In a typical semester, for instance, 32 percent of the students did not take a single course with more than 40 pages of reading per week, and 50 percent did not take any course requiring more than 20 pages of writing over the semester. The average student spent only about 12 to 13 hours per week studying — about half the time a full-time college student in 1960 spent studying.”
  • 17. Still... “Universities continue to serve as remarkable engines of innovation” -S. Johnson
  • 19. Myth Zero Learning Happens in the Classroom. Because we deliver instruction
  • 20. Lecture Etymology 14th century: action of reading, that which is read, from the Latin lectus, pp. of legere "to read." oral discourse on a given subject before an audience for purposes of instruction is from the 16th century. Verb "to lecture" ~ 1590. c. 1350
  • 22. ...Students “sit” through a semester worth of lectures, while “distance” students “watch” online. Live vs. Distance Learning: Measuring the Differences From The New York Times, November 5, 2010 / http://www.nytimes.com/2010/11/05/us/05collegeside.html?_r=1
  • 25. Myth Zero.1 ...Ergo Method is key The Correct Method ... Learning combined with Right Content and Right happens!!!!! Teacher and...
