This presentation discusses student life, e-learning, hypotheses about student learning, and whether students are taking more control over their education. It explores topics like how students and learning have changed with new technologies, whether media influences learning, if students can multitask, and how distance education compares to classroom instruction. Interactive polls are used to explore these issues. The presentation considers different perspectives on these topics and reflects on whether today's students are experiencing a "revolution" in taking more control over their education.

1. During this presentation we will make
use of Shakespeak, a softwaretool
which enables interaction.
Please make sure you keep your
mobile device or laptop ready

4. Student life
• What is a student?
stu·dent, noun,
1 scholar, learner; especially: one who attends a school
2 one who studies; an attentive and systematic observer
• Members of a student board
o Education & student representation (Faculty ↔ University)
o Sports, culture & fun

5. Past Today
• Paper & pencil • Laptops, smartphones
• ↔ •
• Individuals • Groups
• Catholic University • Association KU
of Leuven Leuven
• Interaction

6. E-learning
• E-learning → electronically supported learning & teaching
o Tools in the cloud (Shakespeak, weblectures,…)
o Electronic learning environment (Moodle, Blackboard)
• What do students think about a student-centered approach?
Perception to more work? Not loving the
Indifference microphone
Feeling safe in class when
Help?!
nothing else to do than writing
down Being in small groups makes
interaction much more fun

7. Hypothesis
Sample question: do you think the „Millenium student‟ is
noisy?
• Do media influence learning?
• Is it really possible for students to multitask?
• Distance education ↔ classroom instruction?

9. Reflection: Do media influences
learning?
D. Clark R. Kozma
• Media will NEVER influence • Interactionism
learning • Particular medium = relevant
• Media ↔ method/attributes (technology, symbol- & proces
• Replaceability argument opportunities)
• Confusion of technology • New methods
• Motivation to learn? • Medium + method
We can conclude that the media attributes stay at the surface of the system
→ there is no effect of the medium to the efficacy of learning.

12. Reflection: Is it really possible for students
to multitask?
• People often try to do two things at a time → Succesfully…
or not?
• Attention span
o Only one processing channel
o Limited capacity
• Coens (2011); General ability to multitask is influenced by -
o Characteristics of the task at one hand
o Characteristics of the individual
Student (r)evolution? 13

13. Reflection: Is it really possible for students
to multitask?
• Educational context → mobile learning?
o Texting, surfing, reading & writing
o Anytime, anywhere
• Research Doolittle & Mariano (2008)
o Shared attention → performance ↓
o Static position: significant better results
o Interference between tasks (Wickens)
o Effect size is limited

16. Reflection: Distance education ↔
classroom instruction?
• Characteristics of distance learning
o Separation between student & teacher
o Influence of educational organisation on planning
o Use of technological media
o Mutual interaction
o Absence of others?
Student (r)evolution? 17

17. Reflection: Distance education (DE) ↔
classroom instruction (CI)?
• The results of (Bernard, 2004) show the following effects
on these variables
o Achievement: small significant effect DE
o Attitude: small negative significant effect CI
o Retention: small sign. effect in favor of CI
→ Overall we see a large variability in effect size

18. Learners in the driving seat: fact or myth?
• Student coach online
o Leuven: Peer - assisted Learning (PAL)
o “ to teach is to learn twice”
• Distraction
• (r)evolution? → Does it have limits?
