About the Course
For three decades and longer we have heard educators and technologists making a case for the transformative power of technology in learning. However, despite the rhetoric, in many ways and at most institutional sites, education is still relatively untouched by technology. Even when technologies are introduced, the changes sometimes seem insignificant and the results seem disappointing. If the print textbook is replaced by an e-book, do the social relations of knowledge and learning necessarily change at all or for the better? If the pen-and-paper test is mechanized, does this change the nature of our assessment systems? Technology, in other words, need not necessarily bring significant change. Technology might not even represent a step forward in education.
But what might be new? How can we use technologies to innovate in education?
This course explores seven affordances of e-learning ecologies, which open up genuine possibilities for what we call New Learning 鈥 transformative, 21st century learning:
1. Ubiquitous Learning
2. Active Knowledge Making
3. Multimodal Meaning
4. Recursive Feedback
5. Collaborative Intelligence
6. Metacognition
7. Differentiated Learning
These affordances, if recognized and harnessed, will prepare learners for success in a world that is increasingly dominated by digital information flows and tools for communication in the workplace, public spaces, and personal life. This course offers a wide variety of examples of learning technologies and technology implementations that, to varying degrees, demonstrate these affordances in action.

Take this Course for Credit at the University of Illinois
--------------------------------
This course has the same content and anticipates the same level of contribution by students in the Assessment for Learning course offered to graduate certificate, masters, and doctoral level students in the Learning Design and Leadership Program in the College of Education at the University of Illinois.
Of course, in the nature of MOOCs many people will just want to view the videos and casually join some of the discussions. Some people say that these limited kinds of participation offer evidence that MOOCs suffer from low retention rates. Far from it 鈥 we say that any level of engagement is good engagement.
On the other hand, if you would like to take this course for credit at the University of Illinois, you will find more information about our program here:

This course had AMAZING content. The information in the videos was enough to keep me thinking about Instructional Design for a long time. I knocked it down a star, though, because:
1. The Scholar and 糖心vlog官网观看 thing, though, it worked OK, was a little weird. I get that you want to funnel students into your platform, but it was still a little weird. That being said, it worked pretty smoothly.
2. I LITERALLY found about a dozen or so "updates" in a row that were directly plagiarized. I worked hard and thought hard about mine. I was proud of the ~300 words I wrote for each of them. It was a dispiriting experience to realize that many of the people in this class are probably getting by with just copying content. That blemishes the whole class for me. Please deal with this.
Otherwise, the content is fantastic. Feel free to contact me to discuss bullet point 2 if you'd like. thanks, peter
