Exploring Engagement - and My Inner Student | Library Babel Fish

Exploring Engagement - and My Inner Student | Library Babel Fish | Box of delight | Scoop.it
I tried MOOCing again. I didn’t stick long with the first of these free online courses I tried, but this one, Engagement in a Time of Polarization, was too tempting to pass up. I knew some of the organizers by reputation and through Twitter encounters so I knew it would be good. Also it was only two weeks long. I thought I could swing two weeks.

That was a little ambitious, as it turns out. It ends in a few days and there’s a lot I either missed or rushed through thanks to poor planning. But the course materials will be online for a year, so it’s not too late for me to catch up.

Now, Everything Has a Learning Outcome

Now, Everything Has a Learning Outcome | Box of delight | Scoop.it
While many students want college to supply a direct path to their first job, some institutions try instead to prepare them for the curves ahead.

 

A college education has become a widespread expectation. Three in four high-school students say they will go to college, where they’ll mark the familiar milestones: declaring a major, joining a club or two, then hoping their degree pays off in a job. But many of them have little idea of why they’re really there.
