"Tradition Challenges Change"

MOOCs and the Gartner Hype Cycle: A very slow tsunami | PandoDaily

The Hype Cycle is pretty straightforward. It suggests that each new technology goes through five phases: 
a) the Technology Trigger, 
b) the Peak of Inflated Expectations, 
c) the Trough of Disillusionment, 
d) the Slope of Enlightenment, and finally 
e) the Plateau of Productivity.

Damita Majette’s Reminicion of Tony Bates and Albert Sangra, “Managing Technology in Higher Education:  Strategies for Transformation”

A Reflection of Me

Goals sometimes change for e-learners and often those affected reflect a sign of the times.  Technology is changing the way we read, write, and think, and it has affected me in the most personal way.  Technology also affects the way it interacts within society and throughout various mediated forms, theorist have named the change in terms of “transactional  distance”.  With cell phones, and tablets, internet web-base, online technology was just another wireless exchange.  Then one day I looked up and something was strange, it was as if I were living in a millennial video game. "Generation Y, and the “Net Generation’s” of today, “Digital Natives" surrounding me every day.  Closely tied to the internet while growing up, this new generational student is more developed than my last digital pressure cup.


"Managing Technology in Higher Education:  Strategies for Transforming Teaching and Learning" by Tony Bates and Albert Sangra

What has Changed? 
There is no doubt that technology is a key factor for bringing about relevant and necessary change today.  Students who now come to university or college already have a wide range of technological skill.  Students have freedom to use these technologies for study, if they wish, or instructors, if they choose can design teaching strategies to make use of such tools (Bates & Sangra, 2011, p.  4). Teaching and learning designed and delivered in a way that it increases flexible access to learning.  By using and implementing technology into educational programs, higher institutions can improve quality and control, reduce costs, and better manage core issues facing them today (Bates & Sangra, 2011, p.  4)."Although managing technology is a way that leads to the transformation of teaching and learning, the primary focus of information and communication technologies must be placed in the overall context of the role and mission of postsecondary educational institutions" (Bates & Sangra, 2011, p.  4).

Instructional design - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

History[edit]

History of the System Approach to Instructional Design[edit]

1940’s - The Origins of Instructional Design, World War II[edit]

  • During the war a considerable amount of training materials for the military were developed based on the principles of instruction, learning, and human behavior. Tests for assessing a learner’s abilities were used to screen candidates for the training programs. After the success of military training, psychologists began to view training as a system, and developed various analysis, design, and evaluation procedures.[5]

1946 – Edgar Dale’s Cone of Experience[edit]

  • In 1946, Dale outlined a hierarchy of instructional methods and their effectiveness.[6]
    Edgar Dale's Cone of Learning
Editorial Note: The graphic associated with this section has been discredited, and the figures shown in it have no basis in research, and Dale's original model made no such claims. Further information on this can be found here: http://www.brainfriendlytrainer.com/theory/dale%E2%80%99s-cone-of-learning-figures-debunked

Mid-1950s through mid-1960s - The Programmed Instruction Movement[edit]

  • In B. F. Skinner’s 1954 article “The Science of Learning and the Art of Teaching”, he stated that effective instructional materials, called programmed instructional materials, should include small steps, frequent questions, immediate feedback, and allow self-pacing.[5]
  • The Popularization of Behavioral Objectives - Robert Mager popularized the use of learning objectives with his 1962 article “Preparing Objectives for Programmed Instruction”. In the article, he describes how to write objectives including desired behavior, learning condition, and assessment.[5]
  • In 1956, a committee led by Benjamin Bloom published an influential taxonomy of what he termed the three domains of learning: Cognitive (what one knows or thinks), Psychomotor (what one does, physically) and Affective (what one feels, or what attitudes one has). These taxonomies still influence the design of instruction.[6][7]
