"Whether we like to admit it or not, the use of cell phones
and other technology in the college classroom is common, and is not going away! The challenge for instructors is to make the technology work to help improve the classroom environment, rather than allow it to be an obstacle to active learning, or to be a distraction. Students expect instructors to be technologically astute, and to foster an interactive learning environment." - excerpt from slides

MOOCs are NOT ATMs for the mind.
Moore's Law still prescient AND prescriptive, but no "Moore’s Law for
Learning!" #CFHE12 #tltgSMOOCHERS
Posted:

Reminder: No “Moore’s Law” for learning ...ever. No
ATMs for the mind.
No new app or educational approach will double the speed of human learning in a couple years. Not even the most promising xMOOCs, cMOOCs. Not even the scariest brain enhancing drugs. Not even intense economic and political pressure to extend the accessibility, increase the effectiveness, and reduce the costs of education.
At best, we will continue to develop more valuable combinations
of technology and pedagogy. We will continue to increase the quality,
efficiency, and effectiveness of education in many fields. We will
continue to make improvements. Many will be significant. Some may
be dramatic. None will be exponential. Not like Moore's
Law.
Moore's law helps to describe and explain the extraordinary progress of digital information technology. At best, educational institutions can help develop and then use new tools and resources based on the exponential progress of that technology. However, the scale of gains achieved in education by using such technology will never result in exponential improvements in human learning. See:
§ "Moore's Law: The rule that really matters in tech," excellent recent
article explaining Moore's Law, providing an update on its
progress/viability, and some implications. -by Stephen Shankland, CNET News

§ "Moore's Law BOTH
Prescient AND Prescriptive" and "No 'Moore's Law'
for Learning!" -by Steve Gilbert, TLT-SWG blog, June 13, 2011.
