John Seely Brown notes that simply introducing new teaching technologies into a classroom is not enough - new teaching practices must also be developed to make full use of the technologies. A conference presentation describes an invented method called "Web 2 Kung Fu" that fosters community and helps see problems from multiple viewpoints. A chapter cites research finding benefits of collaborative writing such as improved learning experiences and the ability to construct and acquire new information. However, it is noted that while collaborative platforms are available, students do not always use them for collaboration. Types of writing in wikis are identified, ranging from students not interacting to substantive co-construction of content. Communities of practice are defined as groups who collectively learn through shared experiences.
Humanizing Online Learning: the Secret Sauce for Student Success
This document summarizes information about online education and strategies to improve student outcomes. It begins with statistics showing that California will need 1 million more educated workers by 2025 and that Latinx students have lower transfer and graduation rates than white students. Online courses currently exacerbate the white-Latinx achievement gap due to issues like lack of motivation, technology skills, and relationships with instructors. The document then discusses programs and strategies to help address these issues, such as providing online peer mentoring and support, aligning curriculum across 2-year and 4-year schools, and emphasizing instructor presence and empathy to humanize online courses.
