The Future Of Your Career Depends On Lifelong Learning

The Future Of Your Career Depends On Lifelong Learning | ED 262 Research, Reference & Resource Skills | Scoop.it
The world of work is undergoing a massive shift. Entire occupations and industries are expanding and contracting at an alarming pace, and the skills needed to keep up in almost any job are churning at a faster rate. Average human knowledge is doubling every 13 months, and IBM predicts that in the next couple of years, the volume of information will double every 11 hours.

Esta es una tendencia creciente y que la Universidad debe afrontar lo antes posible. Nosotros en la PUCP estamos desarrollando un ecosistema de aprendizaje e innovación diferente que permita la oferta de carreras cortas y de alto impacto en el mercado laboral. La educación superior no debe seguir desarrollándose bajo la lógica de carreras técnicas y carreras universitaria, ni enmarcada en el pregrado y el posgrado, sólo existirá una opción: la educación permanente, "just in time", "plug and play", escalable y asequible.

College Success Strategies

"Having personal learning patterns that don’t match up perfectly with your academic major does not mean you are doomed for failure. What it does mean is that you will need to develop strategies to temporarily modify your learning patterns to meet the needs of the course work or occupation, which isn’t always easy."

Use of Open Educational Resources in E-learning for Higher Education - Open Educational Resources (OER)

Use of Open Educational Resources in E-learning for Higher Education - Open Educational Resources (OER) | ED 262 Research, Reference & Resource Skills | Scoop.it
E-learning encompasses not only technology but also pedagogical and instructional strategies to configure a complete learning environment based on the Internet. E-learning is nowadays widely used in higher education as a mean for supporting learning on academic programs. Concurrently, the Open Educational Resources (OER) are becoming a valuable alternative to improve access to high-quality educational content released under open licenses by outstanding universities worldwide. The conjunction of both concepts can configure a strategy to improve the quality of the curricula in the higher education institutions, particularly in development countries, in order to equalize the learning outcomes of international academic programs and to reduce the cost associated with educational content development. This work aims to achieve a preliminary understanding of the potential of the OER availability to be used in E-learning environments. As a case study, we have conducted an exploration of the feasibility of using OER to supplement E-learning environments for Higher Education in Computer Science at Ecuador. The search of the OER suitable to be used for this purpose has been performed on all categories of OER websites, including Open Courseware projects of prestigious universities. Moreover, this paper highlights the main barriers as well as the opportunities derived from adopting OER in E-learning environments.
