Editor's Notes
- Holistic transformation!3.0:“builds on system reform and opportunities afforded by Web 2.0 to equip learners with new skills by introducing new pedagogy” p. 8
- Personalized learning space to complement Facebook, etc.Quote from Cisco white paper:However, another key component is the integration of technologies that can fuel new forms of teaching andlearning, nurture 21st century skills, and prepare learners for participation in the global economy of this century.From Gary Stager: “The computer’s real power lies in how it allows kids to learn and do new things in new ways unimaginable just a few years ago.”

- Professor Derek Keats is Executive Director of Information & Communication Services at the University of the Western Cape in Cape Town, South Africa.He is a biologist with strong interests in using technology to improve teaching-and-learning, to enable higher education in the developing world to respond to the challenges of globalization, and to promote sustainable development while maintaining the quality of the environment.
- ABOUT: Futurist, speaker, writer. Before launching the DaVinci Institute, Thomas spent 15 years at IBM as an engineer and designer where he received over 270 awards, more than any other IBM engineer. He is also a past member of the Triple Nine Society (High I.Q. society over 99.9 percentile).The pace of change is mandating that we produce a faster, smarter, better grade of human being. Current systems are preventing that from happening. Gives Roman numerals as historic example. They were a huge “systems problem” – one that got in the way of smart Romans being able to do anything much with mathematics.“They prevented an entire civilization from furthering the field of math and science.”Future education system will be unleashed with the advent of a standardized rapid courseware-builder and a single point global distribution system.
- Competing standards can be divisive,creating temporary chaos in the industry, and greatly delaying market acceptance. Also, the path to marketacceptance would end up being far more expensive.Think different gauges for railroads.
- Courseware BuilderSmooth fill-in-the-blank toolThink: working in a wiki or creating a Google site.
- 60-minute learning experience.It’s an international standard.We schedule our time this way.Modular – most of these units would be self-contained; some might be a part of a set of 2, 5 or even 10.
- Modality agnostic, language agnostic—text, audio, video, hands-on, and more.“Learning comes in many forms ranging from reading text, to listening to audio, to watching video, to hands-on experiences, and more. The Standard Courseware Unit needs to accommodate all modes of sensory input and learning experiences.”
- Confidence-based Learning – separate scores for:Correct answers that are answered with confidence, indicating competency;Correct answers that are answered with doubt;Correct answers that are total guesses, equivalent to no knowledge;Incorrect answers that are answered with confidence, indicating misinformation
- Smart profilerRegularly scheduled assessment surveys to determine areas of interest.”Expand the profile throughout the student’s life, recalibrating, building a comprehensive understanding of the individual over time.Feeds directly to personal recommendation engine.
- Multidimensional Tagging EngineAn alternative to central “truth authority”Pproposes “checks-and-balances” system where individual groups can create their own central truth authority and place their tags of approval or disapproval on courses.These tags will be a central feature of the search criteria used by the smart profiler and the recommendation engine.Personal rating tags (what did you think of this courseware?)Approve/disapprove – organizations can do both (Good Housekeeping seal of approval, DISapproval)Taxonomy or folksonomy (user-generated taxonomies)Pre-req; post-requisite – to indicate sequence of modulesCommentsPhoto by http://www.flickr.com/photos/overig/
- Personal recommendation engineEach time you finish a module, the engine will present you with a number of possibilities for next steps past on your profile
- Certification inputsEvery profession would establish bar to be met for entryMost will use combination of courses taken and some sort of examinationPhoto by Peter Chowhttp://www.flickr.com/photos/pchow98/
- New achievement standardsNo more grade levels and grades earnedOver time charts, graphs, and indexes will take their place.Let’s say you visit your doctor for a physical. She could rate you as in Excellent health, good health, fair health, poor health, or perhaps SICK! However, it’s probably more useful to know specifics.Photo by Benhttp://www.flickr.com/photos/falcifer/
- Official recording keeping systemSingle, impeccable, globalTranscends governmental boundary linesInteresting concept, as I think about Gov Brown un-funding CALPADS and CALTIDES.Photo by http://www.flickr.com/photos/kansas_sebastian/
- Participative Wealth PricingThe revenue stream generated by each courseware unit will be divided between the courseware producer, distribution company, transaction company, system operations, company, and the official record keeping system. Maybe more. Courseware prices need to be kept low to make courseware accessible to anyone interested in learning.
- Global Distribution SystemA single online access pointContent aggregatorSearch/sort capabilitiesAccepting user generated contentRecommendation engineUniform pricing
- $5 million i3 grantindividualized lesson plans called “playlists”with real-time changes announced on large television screens akin to airport flight monitorssmall stations marked with names like “Governor’s Island” or “Lower East Side,” they meet alone or in groupscan learn via a virtual tutor or with an old-fashioned teachersTeachers convene daily to review individual student progress and plot strategies to improve performance. brainchild of a Teach for America vet named Joel RoseGenerated by “algorithm” (Rose collaborated with Wireless Generation, a Brooklyn computer-programming firm. Together they created an algorithm capable of weighing a student’s academic needs, his or her learning preference, and the classroom resources. Here’s how it works: first, the student and his parents and teachers are surveyed about his classroom habits. Then the student takes a diagnostic test to see how well he understands basic math. Those data are then sent to the New York Department of Education’s headquarters in Lower Manhattan, where School of One’s algorithm produces a tentative lesson plan. That lesson plan is then e-mailed to the student’s teachers, who revise it as they see fit. At the end of every day, the student takes another short diagnostic, which is used to create another tentative lesson plan that appears in the teachers’ inboxes by eight o’clock that evening.
