DESCRIPTION
Transcript
LESSON #1: SYNCHRONOUS / ASYNCHRONOUS TIME
•2001 – 3 continents – STUDIO class
Different schedules / time framesDifferent time zonesDifferent academic cultures
LESSON #2: SEMINAR class: •Students performed MUCH better when asked blog instead of write papers during research / •Communicated MUCH better with Professor over e-mail and skype then in person
LESSON #3: LARGE LECTURE class
Large lecture classes are better conducted as an online delivery with sections in physical space
This solves a lot of problems with space…
LOST IN TRANSLATION?
Suggestion: students volunteer to translate and work with peers in their native country
Korean students in Interface class consider cultural exchange (not only language)
BLACK BOARD PROS & CONS
Easy to use Instructors and Students familiar with structure – Based on established teaching models that work: calendar / syllabus / assignments / midterm / final /…
Not dynamic Instructors and Students have little direct communication Lack of sense of community / participation One size (does not) fit all
CLASS INTERFACE MODEL: UCLA FILM
EXISTING FACULTY ON CAMPUSARE A GREAT RESOURCE!
EXISTING FACULTY ON CAMPUSARE A GREAT RESOURCE!
• Incorporate social networking
• Create simple modular designs for faculty and students to customize
• Develop a multi-lingual system for foreign students (ever growing body)
• Focus on developing video live streams and archives
• Develop mobile systems that can easily be moved from lecture halls to classrooms
• Enhance server bandwidth and access
MOVING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION!
MOVING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION!
MODEL FOR VIDEO DELIVERY
• VIDEO ARCHIVE
• LIVE VIDEO STREAM
Promotion – public awareness and recruitment Real time participation – for classes and public, depending on the event
TECHNOLOGICAL
Put together a team to develop a beta curriculum to test the technology / administration
Create a list of STAR faculty – approach to develop beta RECORDED classes / lectures / print on demand / short term agreement
Enlist a Collab class in Parsons to work on this project with a end of Spring deadline
Beta test a series of FREE classes in the Summer
ENTREPRENEURIAL
Create infrastructure for activating satellite locations / develop multi-lingual systems / hire bi-lingual teaching assistants
Develop business model for online classes to be “leased” or “bought” by Universities not in a position to afford to offer the class or the Professor.
Establish Royalty system / Relation to Teaching load for Faculty
OVERVIEW
• CURRICULUM DESIGN + • LIVE VIDEO STREAMS +• VIDEO ARCHIVE +• MOBILE DELIVERY +• ONLINE OFFICE HOURS +• BI-LINGUAL TRANSLATIONS +• MULTI-LOCATION CLASSES +• PUBLISHING +• BUSINESS MODEL +
CONCLUSION
1. THIS IS A JOB FOR A DEDICATED TEAM OF PEOPLE:• BUSINESS / ADMINISTRATOR(S)• CURRICULUM ADMINISTRATOR(S)• INTERFACE DESIGNER(S)• TECHNOLOGIST / PROGRAMMER(S)
2. DEFINE CLEARLY THE VISION, THE PEOPLE WHO WOULD COMMIT TO MAKING THIS HAPPEN AND THEN LOOK FOR SOMEONE WHO SHARES THIS VISION AND WILL LEAD AND OVERSEE THE ABOVE.
CONCLUSION 2
3. THIS MAY HAVE TO BE 2 POSITIONS
4. OPPORTUNITY TO LEVERAGE THIS HIRE/PROJECT INTO A LARGE FUNDING STREAM—THERE IS ARGUABLY MORE MONEY AVAILABLE FOR EDUCATION INNOVATION THAT ANY OTHER TECHNOLOGY ARENA.
5. SEEK A NEW APPROACH, AVOID HAVING IT on one side, experimenters on the other.
