This document discusses new models for designing learning environments including pedagogy, technology, learning theories, and standards. It summarizes key technology trends impacting education like mobile devices, cloud computing, and open educational resources. Models for blended and online learning are presented along with learning theories including connectivism and heutagogy. Standards from ISTE, Quality Matters, and iNACOL are also referenced.

Hello 
This is me – Julia Parra aka Julia Wiggins (Second Life) aka @desertjul, etc…
LOL, I have so many identities, I'm not sure I remember them all. Could this be a
problem? InterWeb Identity Crisis?

4. Technology Trends Impacting
Education
(Johnson, et al., 2012/2013; McIntosh, 2012; and personal experience)
• All things mobile & connected to the
Internet (mobile devices and tablets;
apps!)
• Cloud computing (store on others‟ servers)

5. Online Collaboration Tools
• Top Tools for collaborative group work are
Skype, Google Docs, and Adobe Connect.
(Parra, TBD)

6. Technology Trends Impacting
Education
(Johnson, et al., 2012/2013; McIntosh, 2012; and personal experience)
• Free and open educational resources
(OER) - ebooks/digital
content, video, courses, journals, etc.
– Johnathan Chung‟s Awesome List of Over
200 Free Online Educational Resources
http://goo.gl/8HLFw
– Julz Tools – http://bit.ly/julztools

7. OER - Video
• Khan Academy
– https://www.khanacademy.org/
• YouTube
– http://youtube.com for general search on any
topic
– YouTube EDU
http://www.youtube.com/education
– CREATE YOUR OWN!

10. Technology Trends Impacting
Education
(Johnson, et al., 2012/2013; McIntosh, 2012; and personal experience)
• Learning management systems
development(LMS)
– NMSU uses Canvas that integrates Web 2.0
tools
– Edmodo works both as an LMS and uses
microblogging like Twitter

11. Technology Trends Impacting
Education
(Johnson, et al., 2012/2013; McIntosh, 2012; and personal experience)
• Emerging/web 2.0, social media,
synchronous, and collaboration
technologies

12. Technology Trends Impacting
Education
(Johnson, et al., 2012/2013; McIntosh, 2012; and personal experience)
• Augmented and virtual reality, gesture-
based computing, wearable technology,
and the Internet of things
• Games, gamification, and game-based
learning
• http://learninggameslab.org/

13. Science & Art of Learning
• Pedagogy – structured, formal
K12 learning
• Andragogy – structured, formal
adult learning

14. Science & Art of Learning
Heutagogy
The study of self-directed learning;
includes unstructured, self-directed & self-
determined learning; focus on
metacognition, knowledge sharing,
creativity, original works, etc. (Hase&
Kenyon, 2000; Blaschke, 2012)

15. Learning Theories
• Learner & Learning Centered
• Transformative Learning &
Learning Community
• Constructivism & Social
Constructivism

16. Learning Theories
Connectivism
Learning Theory for the Digital Age – “the
thesis that knowledge is distributed across a
network of connections, and therefore that
learning consists of the ability to construct
and traverse those networks. It shares with
some other theories a core proposition, that
knowledge is not acquired, as though it were
a thing. Knowledge is, on this theory, literally
the set of connections formed by actions and
experience.” (Siemens &Downes, 2011)

17. Learning & Technology Models
Online, Blended, Hybrid, HyFlex Learning
Environments
Different blends of online & face-to-face;
synchronous & asynchronous; etc.

18. Research about Online &
Blended
• Using standards and innovative practices
to teach teachers to teach online changes
face-to-face teaching practices. These
teachers are able to more easily integrate
technology into their face-to-face teaching
and often end up teaching in blended
formats (Parra, 2010).

19. Research about Online &
Blended• The evidence is growing to “support the notion
that blended learning is more effective than
either face to face or online learning by
themselves. Further, between online and face to
face instruction, online is at least as good and
may even have the advantage in terms of
improving student achievement and potentially
expanding the amount of time (and quality time)
students spend learning(Nagel, 2009, para 1);
Means, Toyama, Murphy,Bakia, & Jones, 2010).

20. Standards- ISTE NETS
• International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) National
Educational Technology Standards (NETS) for Administrators,
Teachers, Students, and Computer Science Teachers.
– The overarching purpose of the NETS is - “to set a standard of
excellence and best practices in learning, teaching, and leading with
technology in education.”
“The benefits of using the NETS include:
– Improving higher-order thinking skills, such as problem solving, critical
thinking, and creativity
– Preparing students for their future in a competitive global job market
– Designing student-centered, project-based, and online learning
environments
– Guiding systemic change in our schools to create digital places of
learning
– Inspiring digital age professional models for working, collaborating, and
decision making”
Access all the ISTE NETS standards at http://www.iste.org/standards.aspx

21. Standards- Quality Matters
(QM)• The Quality Matters Rubric for Higher Education
is a set of 8 general standards and 41 specific
standards used to evaluate the design of online
and blended courses. The Rubric is complete
with annotations that explain the application of
the standards and the relationship among
them. A scoring system and set of online tools
facilitate the evaluation by a team of reviewers.
– Access Quality Matters at
https://qualitymatters.org

22. Standards- iNACOL
• The International Association for K12
Online Learning provides many
resources for online and blended
learning, including research-based
standards for K12 online course
design and online teaching.
– Access iNACOL at http://www.inacol.org/

23. Learning & Technology Models
Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)
BYON (Network)
(Devaney, 2012; Ullman, 2013)
Students bring their own devices (laptops,
iPads, tablets, smart phones, etc.) for use
in classrooms.

24. Learning & Technology Models
Flipped Classrooms
(Tucker, 2012)
Use of online materials, such as videos, for
main content and hands-on work
(homework) done in classroom

25. Learning & Technology Models
Self-Organizing Learning Environments
(SOLEs)
“we live in a world where children can figure
things out by themselves. But the existing
teaching assumes that they cannot and,
therefore, have to be taught. That has to
change and we must „teach‟ as little as
possible.” ~ SugataMitra
Interview at http://gulfnews.com/news/world/india/indian-professor-calls-for-reinventing-education-system-1.1167649

26. Learning & Technology Models
Massive Open Online Course (MOOCs)
(de Waard, I., et al; 2011; Pappano, 2012)
Courses or classes offered and taught
online to anyone who wants to take them.
One Stanford MOOC, Introduction to
Artificial Intelligence had approximately
150,000 students signed up!
