Trends in T&L in Higher Ed. Critical enablers for the institution

JUNE 2017 NTNU CONFERENCE Ecological Restoration and Innovation of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education

Overview

•  What we’ve learned about learning •  How to make it so that more people do more

of these things more of the time.

What we have learned about learning

Page 4: Development & trends in teaching and learning

Learning frameworks as bridges •  Research in brain science, cognitive,

developmental, and social psychology, anthropology, education, and diversity studies

•  Domain- & experience-independent •  Cross-culturally relevant •  A bridge between research into learning and

implications for teaching practice

Our roles as educators •  Many different drivers but increasingly

complex: –  Technology –  Larger classes –  Learning research –  Globalization –  Funding pressures –  …..

•  What are the habits, skills, values needed to thrive?

‘How am I doing?’

Top: UMBC “Check my Activity” tool.

Bottom: the “Course Signals” alert system at Purdue.

Both of these snapshots are of the learner view.

Video Analytics Top: ViDeX, a UBC system, shows how the class, overall, watched the video, by overlaying a heatmap on a filmstrip. Right: CLAS, a UBC system, shows where students asked questions about the video. Bottom: Insights by edX shows three instances of the same videos, demonstrating that overall students repeat the same parts of the video.

MOOC Analytics

Left: course structure of current UBC MOOCs. Top: X axis shows the course structure, from left to right; height shows # of unique learners; colour denotes element type. In that programming course, learners learn mainly by solving problems. The course has high retention rate. Bottom: This genetics course has mainly self-tests. Many drop the course, mainly in Module 1.

In summary

•  We have learned enough about learning effectiveness that if more people used these approaches more of the time, it could have a step-change effect on student learning.

•  The challenge for institutions is to create the

conditions that allow that to happen.
