The New Marshmallow Test: Students Can’t Resist Multitasking

The New Marshmallow Test: Students Can’t Resist Multitasking | Distance Learning, mLearning, Digital Education, Technology | Scoop.it

Brain scans taken during Poldrack’s experiment revealed that different regions of the brain were active under the two conditions, indicating that the brain engages in a different form of memory when forced to pay attention to two streams of information at once. The results suggest, the scientists wrote, that “even if distraction does not decrease the overall level of learning, it can result in the acquisition of knowledge that can be applied less flexibly in new situations.”

The main problem with this research is that it presupposes that we are using the right form of instruction with the students and that they are attending to it in the wrong way. I think it's more likely the wrong way around and we need to change the form of instruction to make it more engaging.

Paying attention to two streams of information; when does it even happen in a real classroom?

Multiple Media Search

Multiple Media Search | Distance Learning, mLearning, Digital Education, Technology | Scoop.it

I have to say that I think Spezify has just become my favourite new search engine. I think this is a really great search engine to use in class with students or to get them to use. It's really simple. It displays all results as images and it searches a wide range of multiple media sources such as video, image Twitter etc, not only text.

Search engine optimization has not been dependent on a minimal number of factors for a long time now, such as number of times a keyword appeared on a page, and it continues to become a more complex web of on and off-page factors every month.

The following infographic breaks down ways that social media influences the visibility of your website in search results

Nicole's curator insight, May 8, 2013 12:07 PM

interactions on social media means approval for the website, and high ranking on SEO. Social media as a validating factor for SEO will mean the increase need for websites to maximize their presence online.

MOOC's and the McDonaldization of Global Higher Education - The Chronicle of Higher Education | Jason Lane & Kevin Kinser

MOOC's and the McDonaldization of Global Higher Education - The Chronicle of Higher Education | Jason Lane & Kevin Kinser | Distance Learning, mLearning, Digital Education, Technology | Scoop.it

"[…] thousands of students across the world taking the same course, with the same content, from the same instructor. And that is the problem. MOOC’s are now at the forefront of the McDonaldization of higher education. […] MOOC’s do little to foster engagement or cross-cultural understanding, and in most cases don’t offer students a credential. […] A multinational university can’t simply be a broadcasting service to recipients in other countries; it must engage with and learn from other cultures. The “massive” element of MOOC’s and most other technological initiatives has a homogenizing effect that makes this sort of engagement unlikely. […] MOOC’s may provide access to a world-class education, but the product is prepackaged and standardized. And, because it is readily available, it risks diminishing both the diversification of the higher-education sector and the advancement of globally engaged students and institutions."

 

Comment: elaborate argument, summarised in the above, why it is not a good idea to see MOOCs as the solution to the low quality of education in some parts of the world (peter sloep, @pbsloep)
