What’s the “problem” with MOOCs? In case the quotes didn’t clue you in, this post doesn’t argue against massive open online courses (MOOCs) such as the ones offered by Udacity, Coursera, and edX. I think they are very worthy ventures and will serve to progress our system of higher education. I do however agree with some criticisms of these courses, and that there is room for much more progress. I propose an alternative model for such massive open online learning experiences, or MOOLEs, that focuses on solving “problems,” but first, here’s a sampling of some of the criticisms of MOOCs.

50 Tricks to Study Better, Faster and with Less Stress Studying isn’t one task, it’s many. You may need to memorize facts or just understand the basics. You might need a broad conceptual base, or just skills. To add even more variety, each person has different learning styles and preferences. No one tool is the right one. But with fifty here, you’re bound to find something that might help. **Authors Note: I realize this article is fairly long, so you may want to bookmark it to finish it later** 1) Visualization The idea here is that you want to put abstract information into a picture. I’m not a huge fan of this method, but sometimes brute force is required. Take two ideas and ask yourself how they relate. Take a more complex idea and compare it to a simpler one. Draw it out. Most people take notes in a linear fashion, writing one statement after the next. A bit more efficient than rote memorization is to use mnemonics. This is an advanced memory technique. A variation of the link method, this one helps you memorize numbers. 17) Brainstorming

How DO We Learn Math? What makes it possible to learn advanced math fairly quickly is that the human brain is capable of learning to follow a given set of rules without understanding them, and apply them in an intelligent and useful fashion. Given sufficient practice, the brain eventually discovers (or creates) meaning in what began as a meaningless game.— Keith DevlinShould Children Learn Math by Starting with Counting? It seems obvious that our children must have a wide range of experience with real world objects before counting, addition, or subtraction mean anything to them. But are other topics, such as calculus, better learned as abstract rules — as a game that we play with symbols? And what about the topics in the middle? To teach effectively, I need to understand how students learn. I Learn by Discovery Collect lots of experiences.Notice patterns or trends.Develop mental metaphors to explain the patterns, and postulate rules from the metaphors.Test the rules against future experiences.
How To Use Scaffolding For Deeper Understanding Scaffolding. Nope, not the kind that gets put up outside buildings that are being renovated. The kind where your students can dig deeper into their understanding of a particular topic. The kind where they can begin to uncover previously unrealized connections in subject material. The kind that makes them better problem solvers and learners. But how can you get your students to think as problem solvers? Mia MacMeekin has created this great infographic on scaffolding for deeper understanding in your classroom. 1. Example: what do you know about ants? 2. Example: How does an ant carry fifty times its body weight? 3. Example: Can you draw how you think ants carry things? 4. Example: Can you find the answer and bring it back to class? 5. Example: Can you draw that for me? 6. Example: Can you explain your drawing to each other? 7. Example: Can you use all of your ideas together to solve the mystery? 8. Example: What if I have an apple on my desk? 9. Example: What does the internet say?

Altering XML to Unlock Word 2007 Document During an information security audit I was working with a file from a regulating entity containing audit procedures. The file had several tables with form fields and was protected. The "form fill" restriction was too limiting as I worked to record audit information in the document. The longer I worked the more frustrated I became. I did remember that Word 2007 was using xml as the source code to format it’s documents. I tre generationer er vi blevet født i det stuehus, om lidt er gården rabundus | Information Forfatteren Josefine Klougart skriver i sin nye roman, New Forest, som udkommer omkring den 1. december: »På landet kan man få den tanke, at gårdene har magten over menneskene, der får lov at leve i gårdenes maver som sunde bakterier, der opretholder den organisme, gården er. Indimellem bliver menneskene slået i stykker af et lån, der skal indfries, eller af regnen, der kommer og lægger sig i søer på markerne og på gårdspladsen og siver ned langs murværket og går i fundamentet ... Og med huset går menneskene i huset til grunde og bliver som huset som ruinøse skikkelser i periferien Det passer næsten for godt til min bror: Han går konkurs, efter 41 år som gårdmand er det slut. Tålmodigheden er opbrugt. Det er den besked, han fik, da han og min svigerinde sidst var inde for at få fornyet kreditten. Han havde modet, han var inspireret. Det koster 2,30 kroner at producere en liter mælk. Men det bliver han nødt til, bare for at have lidt penge. Løftet i min brors krop De tog fejl. Et mareridt
