Technology Is for Closers | Inside Higher Ed
- I give lots of presentations about effective technology use and teaching. One of the first things that I share with people is that they only want to use technology if they think it will add to the class curriculum in terms of the delivery or of student learning outcomes. You do not really want to use technology just for the sake of using it.
- You also want familiarity with the technology prior to the term that you use

- The Coursera data indicate the primary audience of MOOCs isn’t the traditional college-bound student. The typical MOOC participant is a 30-year-old with a college or even a postbaccalaureate degree. Two-thirds live outside the United States.
- Nor are MOOCs the cause of all problems facing American universities today
- The distress in higher education is a product of 50 years of neoliberalism, both the actual defunding of public higher education by state legislatures and the magical thinking that corporate administrators can run universities more cost-effectively than faculty members
- The major push to “corporatize” higher education has coincided with a rise, not a decrease, in costs
- MOOCs may be a manifestation of the problem, but they are hardly its cause.
- We built a platform where anyone could list their contribution, and we sent out a newsletter twice a month highlighting models of successful change
- “The learners who signed up for this course obviously have a passion for learning and changing education. I only hope that each of us will try to do something to change our learning culture; perhaps as a movement or perhaps as an individual. The rewards would be worth it.” Or, in the inspiring words of another: “If every student in this class did only one thing to change the tide of education, we’d have a tidal wave!
