  • 1.REIMAGINING LEARNING ON CAMPUS AND FOR THE WORLDDaniel Carchidi MIT Office of Digital Learning Director of Special Projects and Program Manager, MITx1

2. CAN A 1,000 YEAR-OLD INDUSTRY CHANGE?2 3. UNIVERSITIESLecture, Circa 1308 AD ESTABLISHED 1088 ADBologna, ItalyFrom Wikipedia 3 4. Lecture, Circa 2014 ADCourtesy Eric Klopfer 4 5. Todays consumers are different from previous generations The anytime anywhere generation Diverse Socially aware & engaged Global perspective Other industries have been swept up5 6. Digital online delivery is the next one MIT & Harvard invest $30M each Free world education Open source platform We disrupted ourselves!!6 7. Why? Expand access to education for students worldwide through online learning, while reinventing campus education through blended models And learn about learning.And how7 8. MIT Office of Digital Learning Created November 2012 Prof. Sanjay Sarma named Director of Digital Learning Office includes: MIT OpenCourseWare MITx Office of Educational Innovation and Technology Academic Media & Production Services 9. How are MITx and edX different?edX is a platform for a global audienceMITx is the production house and the product 10. MITx Mission support the use of digital learning tools and techniques in the delivery of MIT residential programs provide free, scalable, MIT-quality courses to academically talented and well-prepared learners worldwide and further the understanding of best practices in emerging digital and scalable learning environments. 11. MITx Expertise Project Management Video production and management Instructional design Technical support Training across these areas Consulting - best practices and latest research 12. Pedagogical ArchitectureOCWOnline education holds the key to making residential education better and less expensive even as it promises to offer education to many millions more people.Red indicates IP-free contentDigital Authoring of a ClassNo Formal Master Workflow Corpus Today of ClassMITxYellow indicates grades management 13. EARLY FINDINGS FROM MITx ON edX COURSES 14. Providing immediate feedback Interspersed finger exercises Reinforces concepts at time of acquisition Link to other material Mine data to find gaps in knowledge Range of tools for automated assessment Peer assessment can augment learning experience Opportunity to direct learner to discussion forums Early evaluations show improved learning Will not work for all disciplines?14 15. Videos 7.00x 16. Exercises auto-graded 17. ber exercises 18. Visualizations Active exploration of dynamic, complex systems18 19. Simulations Allow students to explore concepts in lab setting on their schedule and location Doesnt provide direct lab skills, but enables exploration19 20. Assessment tools Multiple choice Numerical questions Equations Algebra Program code Marking elements on images Changing chemical formulas Short answer Peer critiquing and assessment New tools being added on a regular basis2/18/201420 21. IMPLICATIONS FOR RESIDENTIAL EDUCATION AND EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING We launched to the world. Now its coming home 2012-201421 22. MITx residential adoption Fall 2012 (3)Fall 2013 (13)8.01 Classical Mechanics6208.21 Physics of EnergyCC.801 Classical Mechanics105.37 Organic and Inoranic LabES.801 Classical Mechanics106.341 Discrete-time signal processing182 336.042 Mathematics for computer science 3.091 Introduction to solid state chemistrySpring 2013 (7) 6.s064 Machine Learning280 338159875718.05 Statistics2.01 Elements of Structure CC.801 Classical Mechanics425.111 Organic Chemistry2288.033 Relativity996.042 Mathematics for Computer Science 8.011 Classical Mechancis214 463.012 Fundamentals of Material Science 8.021 Electricity and Magnetism26 16CC.802 Electricity and Magnetism618.03 Differential Equations227ES.802 Electricity and Magnetism318.13 Experimental Physics I672.03 Dynamics and Control114Total: 2750 (2050 unique) users 800 active users a day 22 23. Our experience on campus Solid State Chemistry Required subject Typical fifth week flag rate is 50-70 student (out of 500) With immediate feedback, multiple attempts at problems, rate this term was 3. 24. Other anecdotes 2.01, Intro Statics7.012, Intro Biology All videos made available online Regular lectures Regular assignments, exams Unprecedented performance All videos made available online Auto-grading capability Final results not in but 77% say they would use system even if not required 25. WHATS NEXT?25 26. Institute-wide taskforce on the future of education at MIT 50 faculty + students + staff, 40 meetings Faculty and student surveys 20+ departmental presentations Preliminary report at future.mit.edu Final report in May 2014 27. Beneficial side-effect: modularity, flexibility, sharing Active classroom in required introductory physics class Introductory EECS course: almost all contact in lab settings, using automated tutor Mech E, EECS subjects using modules, breaking terms into pieces 27 28. Broader impact on the campus What does the classroom of the future include? What does the student residence of the future include?28 29. New kinds of learning spaces Academic villages Hands-on learning Maker spaces and sandboxes Studios29 30. MOOC.org + MIT OpenCourseWare = scalable, widely accessible DIY courses 31. Conclusions Online tools enable an epochal leap towards MITs longtime ambition: learning by doing MOOCs are a wonderful outcome But make no mistake: online is to enrich the magic of the residential, not to replace it31 32.
