EDTC 555 Internet And Distance Education Delivery
| Reflections: As usual I am always thinking, and many
times that gets me into trouble. During this class, I attended a
presentation at the “All Faculty Convocation”. Our guest speaker spoke about
learning in higher education. She sparked some interesting challenges;
especially what do students really learn, and more importantly what do they
remember. Most of the faculty discussion that followed afterwards revolved
around assessing what students know. I am downplaying or suggesting we do
away with assessments; however, I believe it is very arrogant of educators
to always think we know what is best for the learner. I think it is possible
to tighten criteria to the point where we interfere with critical and
original thinking. I am acquainted and have had instructors who were so
grade orientated that students make a decision to “just get through the
class, and give the instructor what he or she wants”. I wish that I could
remember the scientist who made an important discovery, and what the
discovery was, but it went something like this. “I found the discovery
because I misinterpreted what the accepted knowledge was at the time; had I
fully understood the accepted theory I would have never traveled this path.”
