Ana Cristina Pratas's insight:
"Surface learning, strategic learning and deep learning (Bain, 2012). Surface learners approach learning as an exercise in recall, memorizing facts and definitions in anticipation of taking a test. Deep learners, on the other hand, approach learning with the desire to understand the meaning of an idea, to tear it apart, to see the concepts behind the ideas, to identify the logic of the idea, to see how ideas fit together. Strategic learners often earn high grades and may look and sound like deep learners. Except that they focus their learning on determining what the “professor will put on the test”, then they study that material exclusively to achieve high grades. Think of surface learners and strategic learners as “task oriented”, and deep learners as “learning oriented”.
which stus do we want?
Which students do we want?
This directly affects how we design, develop and teach online courses. Specifically, how do we design for deep learning? Deep learning integrates what students already know into what they will be learning and then points this new knowledge forward in ways that they can use to make real world application.
