Ken Bain and James Zimmerman describe three kinds of learners: the surface learner, the deep learner, and the strategic learner. They also describe the Natural Critical Learning Environment, which seems to have two primary features: students engage because their model of the universe fails and because the topic discussed is relevant to their lives. Need to research that more. Kudos to A&S Dean Andy Newcomb for sharing this article with the faculty this week.

A good article that points out that having the technology isn't enough to switch to online teaching in an epidemic: faculty need to be trained on how to teach in an online environment. I am impressed with the schools that have programs to train faculty - it's difficult to motivate anyone to put in significant time as preparation for a worst case scenario.

Our vision for WikiPODia is for it to become a repository of our collective and emergent understanding of our field. It is meant to be nimble and live, moving us from a smattering of disparate comments to a collective understanding of critical and important topics. Building from conference, listserve and other community initiated conversations we view WikiPODia as an important 'next level' resource for the POD community; providing an intermediate state between the POD listserv discussions and a formal POD publication.

A recent study questions learning styles as an approach to teaching, suggesting that activities be determined by the content rather than by the student learning type. A chief criticism of the new report is that it did not adequately review the field of learning styles reaseach to make a convincing argument.

The author suggests that rather than focusing on learning new things, adults improve their cognitive abilities by challenging assumptions.
