Education Papert, Minsky & Kay: The key educational task is to make  connections  between  powerful ideas  and  passionate interests . Teach to think  deeply Teach to think  rigorously Communications of the ACM, Jan, 2005, 48(1)
The University The University, holding its tradition of European humanism, in its constant quest for universal knowledge, ignores all geographic or political border to fulfill its mission and affirms the urgent necessity of reciprocal knowledge and interaction of cultures.

… and so? What should we do with all this power? Which competencies of the knowledge society  do  we need to develop in our students?
Competencies Web & info skills; Help students with new skills: critical analysis and new media interpretation;  Shift from  information overload  to  knowledge production .
In Search of a Sustainable Model Pedagogically sound Constructivism, “Learn by Doing” & community context (service learning) + Social Economically sound  Re-use (Learning Objects) Web Synergy (opportunistic) Technology Development Quality (…and control thereof)
Why the Web? It is a liberating technology: Classroom within the world Time for class is always Extends & amplifies dialogue Share-tech Hypertext frees from linear reading & writing
Why the Web? Web Services It’s global: The concept of "distance"     z ero But all that is local gets projected globally Student-centered pedagogies Learn-by-doing, domain immersion, service learning
Why the Web? Ah, yes! It allows (sometimes) to (find and) get information worldwide
Vision 1 Matthew Pittinsky (founder & CEO, Blackboard) E-learning reinforces traditional academic values and augments and enriches academic and campus life; Education custom built based on students’ needs; Personalized e-portfolios; Decentralized approach for curricula & resources.
Vision 2 Neil Postman: “ Six critical questions in the face of technological change ” What problem gets solved by new tech? Whose problem is it? What new problems are created? Who and what might be harmed by a tech solution? What changes are gained and lost? Who and what acquire power?
Caveat! Albert Sangrá ( UOC ) advises: Is e-learning the new back-door to learning? Where is  innovation ?
The situation (some considerations) In 1999,  54%  of those with a BS degree attended 2 or more institutions; 19% attended 3 or more; In-class student preferences: No IT 2% Ltd 22% Moderate 42% Extensive 30% On-line 1%
The situation (2) Generations: Baby boomers TV Typewriters Memos Gen X Video games Computers E-mail Net Gen Web Mobile devices Instant messaging On-line communities -D. Oblinger, VP Educause
The Situation (3)
Faculty The limits of my language are the limits of my world -Ludwig Wittgenstein Goal :: To provide faculty and students the enabling technology to express themselves :: Is key!

Pedagogical model Plan & meet with group Assign (proyects, work, etc.) Use web resources [Virtual: add activities -synch or asynch, group collaboration/discussion, share] Meet again & discuss

Key Ideas… Media affect process Socrates didn’t like writing… because it is persistent! Avoid fragmentation Knowledge  cannot be “delivered” Enjoyment depends on increasing  complexity Alan C. Kay Computers, Networks & Education, scientific American, Sept. 1991
Key Ideas 2 Benefits of  computing  (and networks): Interactivity Multimedia Show information from multiple perspectives ( M. Minsky: “I don’t understand if I don’t understand it in more than one way!” )  Simulation and modelling Universal Library {Social computing!} Alan C. Kay Computers, Networks & Education, scientific American, Sept. 1991
Good practices… 7 principles Contacts between faculty / student Reciprocity & cooperation among students “ Active Learning” techniques Computers as Tools (simulation, internet, statistics, etc.) Prompt feedback Time on Task Communicate great expectations Respect different talents and ways to learn. Implementing the 7 Principles, A. W. Chickering, S.C. Ehrmann, AAHE Bulletin, Oct. 1996
Learning Styles… Visual (learn by seeing) Auditory (learn by hearing) Reading/writing (learn by processing text) Kinesthetic or practical (learn by doing). Stahl: "utter failure to find that assessing children's learning styles and matching to instructional methods has any effect on their learning." (2002). Different strokes for different folks? In L. Abbeduto (Ed.), Taking sides: Clashing on controversial issues in educational  psychology  (pp. 98-107). Guilford, CT, USA: McGraw-Hill.
My Web course I integrate uniquely and creatively internet resources with original material; I can weigh in my students’ ways. Multi-media, please (if useful, interesting, possible, etc.)
My Web course 2 Take advantage of hyper-text (non-lineal reading, …) I do not recreate textbooks (they are already there!) I do not recreate videos of my classes … but the temptation is strong!
My Web course 3 Integrates: An LMS Platform (see Moodle) Includes: homework, forums, resources, readings, wikis, glossary, etc. Peripheral  web technologies: blogs, wikis, del.icio.us, yahoo! tools, google tools, flickr, et al. (see later). {Social Software & other monsters}
