Podcasts about open learning initiative

As many students in the Northern Hemisphere begin summer break, I thought it would be a good time to reflect on and reimagine universities. Ian Cook and Prem Kumar Rajaram join me today to talk about their new Open Access co-edited volume, Opening up the University: Teaching and Learning with Refugees, which was put together with Celine Cantat. Ian M. Cook is Director of Studies at the Open Learning Initiative (OLIve), Budapest located at the Central European University (CEU), where Prem Kumar Rajaram is Professor at the Department of Sociology and Social Anthropology and Head of the Open Learning Initiative. freshedpodcast.com/cook-rajaram -- Get in touch!

Ms. Thille’s focus of research and development is in applying results from the learning sciences to the design, implementation and evaluation of open web-based learning environments. Candace currently serves as a redesign scholar for the National Center for Academic Transformation; as a Fellow of International Society for Design and Development in Education; and on the Global Executive Advisory board for Hewlett Packard’s Catalyst Initiative. She recently served on a working group at the U.S. Department of Education to write the National Education Technology Plan for the Obama Administration and currently serves on a working group for the U.S. Department of Education to evaluate of the effectiveness of online courses for secondary students. According to Candace, “Using intelligent tutoring systems, virtual laboratories, simulations, and frequent opportunities for assessment and feedback, The Open Learning Initiative at Carnegie Mellon builds learning environments that support instruction. Or, more precisely, to support the kind of dynamic, flexible, and responsive instruction that fosters learning. As students work through the OLI courses, we use technology to collect real-time interaction level data of all student use. We use this data to create four positive feedback loops: feedback to students, feedback to instructors, feedback to course designers, and feedback to learning science researchers.”
