Designing Spaces for Teaching and Learning with Technology Patrick Dickson Learning, Technology and Culture (From Ed Psych to LTC: A Long Dialog) Michigan State University
Communication between Researchers and Designers • Basic versus Applied Research • Research versus Design • Cognition versus Art • Science versus Technology • New possibilities for tired contrasts. • Technology pervades higher education.
Rapid Change Calls for Rapid Research • The Web Changes Many Things • Blackboard, WebCT: Unprecedented change • Hardware • Smaller: Laptops or Desktops? Flat Panels. • Mobility • Wireless, Longer Battery Life • Near Universal Ownership at “Home”
Changes in Teaching:From Lecture to Team Work • Instructional Technology Computing Committee: From hardware to pedagogy • “We can’t teach the way we’re being told to teach in the computer labs the way they are still being built on this campus.” • Big Ten’s CIC • Great interest in design of learning spaces • MSU: Mid-October
Online Teaching and Learning:New Possibilities for Research • Rapid growth in “hybrid” courses. • Students’ homes and dorms key element. • Research on students interacting online: • “Subjects” are coding their own “data” • Discussions and chats are “self-transcribing” • University computer learning spaces ideal for research on design.
Designing New Learning Spaces • Leadership: Dean Who Gets It • Make Teaching and Learning Visible • Where are the computer labs? Basements? • Windows or walls? • Incidental learning essential for rapid change. • Flexibility, Modular, Diverse Niches
