How has the computer already changed teaching and learning? Please write down two phrases and share what you have written with a neighbor!!! "A computer lets you make more mistakes faster than any invention in human history--with the possible exceptions of handguns and tequila." --Mitch Ratliffe, "Technology Review"

How has the computer changed teaching and learning? (my answer) 1.It’s caused every teacher to rethink & redesign. 2. By increasing student options, it has increased competition and compelled universities to pay more attention to the quality of teaching Our profession has been changed forever!

How can we measure the influence of _________upon the quality of learning? Put a single letter in each box! E = excellent measure G = good measure P = poor measure You may use the same letter in different boxes! However, make sure you use every letter at least once!

Multi-Institutional Studies –Hu and Kuh (CSEQ data from 18,000+ students) –CSEQ Questionnaire and –Brown (150 professors from 36 universities) –Flashlight Project of the TLT Group

Single University Studies –Wake Forest Research/michigan.pdfhttp:// Research/michigan.pdf –Virginia Tech –Seton Hall –University of Central Florida –AAHE Assessment Forum and –Many, many other studies where 80—90% of students and faculty report that computers increase learning

Research Results University of Central Florida--- Hybrid courses win! (the rule) 18,844 students at 71 American Universities--- More “good practices” for wired students! 150 professors at 50 Research Universities--- Interaction, Collaboration, Debate, Custom, Adjuncts! Virginia Polytechnic University--- Calculus failure rate cut by 44%! Seton Hall University--- More self-exploration, contact, feedback, learning!

Communication-Interaction

Computers allow people---- to belong to more communities to be more actively engaged in each community with more people over more miles for more months and years TO BE MORE COLLABORATIVE

To understand a liberal arts education as an opportunity to study with professors who think by their own set of concepts To learn how to apply economic concepts To learn how to work collaboratively To learn computer skills To improve writing and speaking FIRST YEAR SEMINAR The Economists’ Way of Thinking: Students = 15 All Freshmen Required Course Before Class During Class. After Class

Brown’s First Year Seminar Before Class –Students Find URLs & Identify Criteria –Interactive exercises –Muddiest Point –Lecture Notes – dialogue –Cybershows During Class –One Minute Quiz –Computer Tip Talk –Class Polls –Team Projects After Class –Edit Drafts by Team –Guest Editors –Hyperlinks & Pictures –Access Previous Papers Other –Daily Announcements –Team Web Page –Personal Web Pages –Exams include Computer –Portfolio –Materials Forever

Reasons 150 Professors Added Computer Enhancements 1.Communication-Interaction 2.Collaboration-Teams 3.Controversy-Debate 4.Customization-Diversity 5.Consultants-Adjuncts

The Millennium Context Personal. Customized. Interactive. Student-Centered Curriculum & Databases Teams of Professionals to Support Learning “Houses” instead of Disciplines Blended Courses (80-20 and 20-80) Loose-leaf Collections of Course Chunks Internet Savvy Students (Nintendo)

Low Hanging Fruit [within the constraints of time & money] 1.URLs 2. 3.Course Management System Better 85% Some Use Vs 5% Heavy Use

Don’t Fear Distance Learning (Blended Wins) Pursue the Low Hanging Fruit ( , URL, CMS) Teach on the Assumption of Internet Access Declare a Standard Hire Students Promote Information Fluency The Good News for Small Colleges is that the Highest Benefit uses of the computer are among the Least Costly.
