A vision for the future: Using technology to improve the cost-effectiveness of the academy: Part 2 « Tony Bates

7 Things You Should Know About QR Codes | EDUCAUSE

QR codes are two-dimensional bar codes that can contain any alphanumeric text and that often feature URLs that direct users to sites where they can learn about an object or place (a practice known as “mobile tagging”). Decoding software on tools such as camera phones interprets the codes, which are increasingly found in places such as product labels, billboards, and buildings, inviting passers-by to pull out their mobile phones and uncover the encoded information. QR codes link the physical world with the virtual by providing on-the-spot access to descriptive language and online resources for objects and locations. In this way, the codes support experiential learning, bringing scholarship out of the classroom and into physical experience. The greatest importance of QR codes could lie not in their specific use but in the opportunities they offer for moving away from keyboards as input devices in learning environments.

Technology Integration Matrix

  • The TIM incorporates
    five interdependent characteristics of meaningful learning environments:
    active, constructive, goal directed (i.e., reflective), authentic,
    and collaborative (Jonassen, Howland, Moore, & Marra, 2003).
    The
    TIM associates five levels of technology integration (i.e., entry,
    adoption, adaptation, infusion, and transformation) with each of the
    five characteristics of meaningful learning environments. Together,
    the five levels of technology integration and the five characteristics
    of meaningful learning environments create a matrix of 25 cells as
    illustrated below.

  • It's not just the way programs are set up that is the problem. There is also the issue of the physical nature of our universities. - willstewart on 2009-10-20
  • This model is prevalent still today as it is the only model academics have experienced. Even the new, younger lecturers come in knowing only this model, and are absorbed into a department where only this model is used. Getting them to re-think their ideas is very challenging, and demands courage and commitment on their part. - willstewart on 2009-10-20

UK universities aim to spearhead online education – globally : JISC

  • Citing the Open University as a proven example of Britain’s ability to lead the world in terms of innovative learning methods that help widen social participation, Mr Denham believes that merely ‘dumping’ more course materials onto the internet is not the answer. He deems the online development of students’ core critical, creative and multi-disciplinary skills to be of paramount importance, as this will enable students to optimize the traditional and online resources available to them

  • One more thing is also clear: in fifteen years time the global market for higher education will expand. And a significant proportion of that will be down to students who do not want to carry out their studies entirely on site, at university campuses, but by distance, online and by using the opportunities that the rapid development of technology gives us.



    It will be the university system that grasps and responds to this fact that will maintain its world class status over the years and decades ahead.
