Abstract

The evolution of educational technologies are causing a dramatic shift in the landscape of higher education. The students of tomorrow will arrive at our institutions with expectations for personalized educational experiences that were unthinkable just 10-15 years ago. This presentation will focus on the organizations, services, systems, and tools being developed at UC Berkeley to empower our community to effectively create and share academic content with UC Berkeley students and beyond.

Abstract

The MOOC phenomenon, combined with ever increasing financial pressures on American colleges and universities, is swiftly bringing educational technology into the highest levels of strategic decision making on campuses across the United States. The University of California, Berkeley, with the support of its executive leadership has itself made a commitment to the EdX platform and program for delivering open courses at a massive scale. At the same time, the campus is in the midst of transitioning its learning management and enterprise media capture systems to next generation products. The potential interplay between a highly publicized MOOC platform and “traditional” educational technologies presents a unique set of new operational, tactical, and strategic challenges and opportunities for UC Berkeley.

Oliver Heyer is currently the Manager of the Learning Systems Group within Educational Technology Services at the University of California, Berkeley. He has nearly 10 years’ experience as a leader in Higher Education software development and implementation, focussing on enterprise open source technologies.

Abstract

学部の再編に伴い、2003年4月に日本初の専らインターネットを活用したeラーニングのみの学修で学士号取得可能な通信教育課程として早稲田大学人間科学部eスクールはスタートした。その後、毎年150名ほどの入学者があり、卒業生も累計約700名に達した。学生の平均年齢は40才前後であり、海外からも毎年数名入学者がいる。入学者に対する卒業率はおよそ60%である。このeスクールの10年に及ぶ歩みを紹介する。

Abstract

This presentation is to report two effective cases of video enhanced courses at Kansai University as well as at Kio University.
The first case is a report from an undergraduate course at Kansai University, namely, the negotiation practicum for communication with effective use of ICT and video. The course was designed to offer students an opportunity to learn and acquire the communication skill for long-term trust building. This practicum course (a 90-minute-long class, meeting once a week) depends solely on students’ activities in the role-playing simulation. In preparation, students are required to read the synopsis for the situation where the main characters are as well as the information upon which the characters will make decisions for the next action. However, it turned out that most of the class contact hours were spent for the students to read and understand the contents of the written materials and that there was not enough time left for the role-play simulation to deepen the understanding of communication for trust building. In order to solve this problem, an optimal solution was resorted to making use of the information and communication technology without sacrificing the quality of the negotiation practicum due to the students’ low level of reading comprehension skills.
The second case is a report on the course at the graduate school of Kio University. The graduate school started in 2007 and has approximately 40 Masters’ candidates and 15 Doctors’ candidates. Most students are working adults. To offer them flexibility to participate the class, lectures start at 6 pm and are transmitted live through the internet. They can attend the class in person, or participate in the class simultaneously from home or their office through the internet live distribution. All lectures are recorded and can be reproduced by VOD 30 min after the end of the class. Along with the live transmission of the lecture, a bi-directional chat system is running during the lecture to help communication between the teacher and students.
In conclusion, it is pointed out that the potential of the ingenious attempt and implementation of video and ICT into the higher education is without limit. We, educators, need to do is to share the experience and the learning effectiveness with each other so that the quality of education be elevated.
