Week 12: Reading 2
Storm Clouds on the Digital Education Horizon
Dr. Reeves outlines major issues with digital post-secondary education, such as the time commitment of online faculty and students, assessing student performance, accreditation of non-brick-and-mortar institutions, and lack of diversity in educational research. His ultimate call is for more development research.
Of interest: Time involved in teaching and attending class seems to increase with online delivery, however this may be due to a mismanagement of tasks on an individual basis. Assessment could be more authentic: instead of offering credits based on hours in class, a student would earn merit based on tasks accomplished or experiences gained.
