Pros and Cons by Kaushik Biswas http://people.uis.edu/rschr1/?p=2665&cpage=1#comment-2995 Kaushik Biswas Thu, 01 Sep 2011 06:37:47 +0000 http://people.uis.edu/rschr1/?p=2665#comment-2995 I not sure what will be the outcome if Microsoft acquires Nokia; personally I'd like Microsoft to be what it is right now. Maybe they'd develop more products in their own field of expertise rather than taking up new ventures f which it is not famous of.

]]> Comment on Salman Khan: Let’s use video to reinvent education by Lanny Arvan http://people.uis.edu/rschr1/?p=1938&cpage=1#comment-2429 Lanny Arvan Wed, 30 Mar 2011 21:27:50 +0000 http://people.uis.edu/rschr1/?p=1938#comment-2429 There is a big difference, in my view, of using video this way when the students come voluntarily to the site to learn, where is truly is a wonderful resource, from where it is part of a regular course requirement and likely has to be coupled with meaningful assessment to get the students to watch. Put a different way, in face to face classes which don't use clickers to track attendance, if attendance wanes that way, why should we expect better attendance online? So one needs to ask whether online video is a good way to elicit student commitment. I wish the answer were unambiguously yes, because I'm producing a fair amount of it myself, but I'm afraid it isn't.
