2 Kinds of ThinkingAutomatic system (AS):– gut reaction:

• intuitive, rapid, instinctive• associated with the oldest parts of the brain

Reflective system (RS) – conscious thought:

• rational, deliberate, self-conscious

Heuristics and BiasesHumans predictably err – this knowledge can be harnessed to help them

Heuristics & biases emerge from the interplay between AS & RS

Categories of biases:

Bounded rationality our rationality is delimited

Self-control our rationality and temptation may be in conflict

Social influences we are influenced by the behavior of other people

Sunstein, Thaler (2008). Nudge.

Uneasy Choices• self-control issues arise when choices and

their consequences are separated in timeDelayed effects

• many problems in life are difficult and there is no technology to helpDifficulty

• some decisions are rare, therefore there is a lack of practiceInfrequency

• learning requires immediate and clear feedback after each tryPoor feedback

• ambiguous relation between a choice and its consequenceUnclear impact

Sunstein, Thaler (2008). Nudge.

Choice Architecture• they are very powerful, as usually a lot of people end up

with itDefault options

• a well designed system is as forgiving as possibleExpect error

• it is the best way how to improve the performance of humansGive feedback

• options should be comprehensibleUnderstand mappingsfrom choice to welfare

• Elimination by aspects: eliminate the unsuitable alternatives• Collaborative filtering: use the judgements of similar people

Structure complexchoices

• put the right incentives on the right people – Who uses? Who chooses? Who pays? Who profits?Incentives

Proposed SolutionLibertarian paternalism: preserves liberty and tries to influence choices in a way that will make choosers better off, as judged by themselves

• This influence can be realized via suitable alerts or nudges• A nudge should alert people’s behavior in a predictable way and at the same time it should be easy and cheap to avoid

The golden rule of libertarian paternalism: offer nudges that are most likely to help and least likely to inflict harmSunstein, Thaler (2008). Nudge.

Personal Learning Environment (PLE)

PLE describes the tools, communities, and services that constitute the individual educational platforms learners use to direct their own learning and pursue educational goalsLMS – course-centric vs. PLE – learner-centric:• Extension of individual research• Students in charge of their learning process

• self-direction, responsibility• Promotes authentic learning (incorporating expert feedback)• Student’s scholarly work + own critical reflection + the work and voice of others • Web 2.0 influence on educational process

• customizable portals/dashboards, iGoogle, My Yahoo!• Learning is a collaborative exercise in collection, orchestration, remixing, & integration of data into knowledge building• Emphasis on metacognition in learning
