From around the Web
Michelle Weise: ‘We Need to Design the Learning Ecosystem of the Future’ EdSurge, 22 February 2018
“Talk of lifelong learning doesn’t translate into action. In fact, resources and funding are often geared toward the traditional 17- to 22-year-old college-going population and less often to working adults, our growing new-traditional student population.”
The Misguided Drive to Measure ‘Learning Outcomes’ Molly Worthen, February 22
“If we describe college courses as mainly delivery mechanisms for skills to please a future employer, if we imply that history, literature and linguistics are more or less interchangeable “content” that convey the same mental tools, we oversimplify the intellectual complexity that makes a university education worthwhile in the first place. We end up using the language of the capitalist marketplace and speak to our students as customers rather than fellow thinkers. They deserve better.”
Is snacking learning? Seth Godin, 3 March 2018
“I don’t think learning is defined by a building or a certificate. It’s defined by a posture, a mindset and actions taken.”
