Few of the students like the online tools we use every day; none of them sees the move online in a positive light. They feel their educations are being disrupted and suspect that the replacement they are being offered is a sham. > And it is. [...] > Most educators have a somewhat cynical view of student attitudes. We think that, like most of the rest of society, they have bought into the factory model of education, that they are in school only to get the degrees that will further their upward movement in society. We forget that many of them are actually interested in learning—even though they may appear to be sleepwalking through at least some of their courses. They want their degrees to mean something, to be more than just magical pieces of paper. > Our students, of course, are shoved into as difficult a situation by coronavirus as we are. This is no vacation for them, and they know it. They also recognize that the colleges and universities are lying to them through the very act of replacing their classes with online approximations—though they, too, know the lying may be necessary. They feel frustrated, for they do not want to delay their progress toward their degrees; they feel they have no choice but to accept what is happening. But they do not like it and some of them feel—and are—technologically unprepared for the new situation. Though almost all of them have smartphones, not everyone has a computer at home for writing papers. The lying isn’t necessary; but the universities are not in a position to offer much more than online versions right now. That’s our fault. The unwelcome move online might reveal another crack in the papered-over system. We’ll need to repair things later. We’ll need to repair a lot of things Later. But, Barlow suggests, we need to change teaching and learning Right Now. > If we work at it, it may prove better than anything we have done before, though it will not be categorizable and will not even be the online coursework we are trying to ram down our throats and our students’ throats. ]]> coronavirus education de https://pinboard.in/u:mcmorgan/b:d56c3de486fb/ 2019-11-07T14:30:18+00:00 https://academeblog.org/2019/11/06/protect-your-intellectual-property/ mcmorgan Here’s how it could potentially work: > The university could enter into a “Course Development Agreement” with a part-time or contingent faculty member, giving him or her access to all instructional materials that Purdue faculty from across the university system created and placed in a learning management system like Blackboard. The contingent faculty member would then use this content to assemble a course through a variety of modules, thus fulfilling the “Course Development Agreement.” > However, something happens when the contingent faculty member signs that agreement and uses those instructional resources: those “Instructional Copyrightable Works” become “Commissioned Copyrightable Works,” which only the administration control.]]> academicfreedom lms administrative_Schemes copyright ethics adjuncts DE https://pinboard.in/u:mcmorgan/b:d0ff685eb88c/ 2019-08-03T15:42:12+00:00 https://academeblog.org/2019/08/02/academic-freedom-and-the-learning-management-system/ mcmorgan The most important standard I would bring to any discussion about what technology should be employed on campus and the faculty role in how it should be employed is that faculty deserve the same prerogatives when they use an online tool as they do when they are teaching in an entirely conventional face-to-face classroom. To suggest anything else defeats the purpose of moving any part of a class online in the first place. > The second standard I would bring to any discussion of how technology like the LMS should be employed on campus is that faculty should be offered as many technological choices as possible and that they should be the ones who make the final decision about which ones they use. > The final standard I would bring to a discussion of the LMS is that the result should be as close to the open Internet as humanly possible. That means faculty have to be able to employ tools that exist entirely outside their LMS if they so choose, like Slack or Hypothes.is, the open source web annotation program. Because > college campuses are the kinds of places that are supposed to be on the cutting edge of technology since they have so many smart people on them. Treat those smart people like the average corporate peon when it comes to how they teach – the action at the center of their job descriptions – and you are going to have a lot of very unhappy smart people on your hands. ]]> unionization lms unions corporateuniversity DE https://pinboard.in/u:mcmorgan/b:1609099d85b7/ 2019-07-01T13:40:00+00:00 https://academeblog.org/2019/06/30/its-time-to-move-away-from-the-digital-classroom-in-our-smartphone-altered-universe/ mcmorgan Education administrators who have bought into the various digital-platform models, on the other hand, have long seen their avenues of digital instruction as a way to reduce reliance on teachers by regularizing curricula through digital replication and turning the teachers into overseers, people there simply to solve problems as students take more and more control of their education. The digital, these people dreamed, could make most teachers redundant. > Though student control of their own education is a laudable goal, that’s not the only goal of those pushing online education. Cost-cutting and streamlining are even more important ends. Producing a workforce augmentation implemented seamlessly also is. > The growth of the student as a person and a citizen is not. Education, as we have defined it in the United States (until recently), is not. > Thing is, the digital landscape our students inhabit has changed dramatically since the old assumptions about digital utility in education were formulated. The smartphone has become student interface with much of the world, including families and, yes, classrooms. Anyone simply looking around today can see that the smartphone should be changing all of assumptions about utility of digital tools–but it hasn’t. ]]> education DE academia2.0 https://pinboard.in/u:mcmorgan/b:591df88a1082/ 2019-04-04T15:27:25+00:00 https://www.huffpost.com/highline/article/capitalist-takeover-college/ mcmorganonlineed DE https://pinboard.in/u:mcmorgan/b:a31d86cd2535/ 2019-04-04T15:20:02+00:00 https://academeblog.org/2019/04/04/education-in-the-corporate-oz/ mcmorgan This swindle lies behind Carey’s essay. To save money, many universities are moving more heavily than ever before into online education, charging as much, sometimes, for their new courses as they do for their more costly (to the institutions) on-campus courses. Even public institutions are involved: They charge the same for online and hybrid (partly online and partly classroom) courses as they do for classroom-based ones, though it costs much less for the institutions to offer such courses. This saves so much money that the colleges and universities are loathe to signal that they are providing a lower-standard product through their online and hybrid catalogs. So, they maintain the fiction by charging the same for both. They want to keep that money coming in; they don’t feel they can afford to admit, through a separate pricing structure, that the online and hybrid courses are not on the same level of instruction as what goes on when the focus of education is at least three hours a week of personal “interface.”]]> distanceed DE swindle onlineed https://pinboard.in/u:mcmorgan/b:6e8dca8f998a/
