I spent years running a school and am an edtech developer: education needs to (and probably will) evolve to suit the nature of remote learning. We're in this weird phase where we're trying to shoehorn models and constraints from the in-person learning paradigm into remote learning.
- beauzero 5y agoMy wife has taught for 3 years at an online only state charter school (US). The single most difficult issue to solve (waste of time) is integration between foundation school management software such as Infinite Campus (where grades are kept) and third party learning packages (where assignments come from).
- user3939382 5y agoFunny you mention that. My work is building course content and assessment delivery systems that can be plugged into any LMS. It’s the leading (modular) solution to this exact problem.
- ricardobayes 5y agoIf this will involve getting rid of closed-book exams, I think the world can only benefit from it.
- chaosite 5y agoSure, and I think it's hard to find someone who is perfectly satisfied with the status quo. Coming up with a replacement is the hard part.
- david_allison 5y agoPrediction: The replacements will come from adult education, not from traditional academia.
- devwastaken 5y agoI've seen it done successfully at some uni's. Zoom for the lecture, and a far less invasive proctoring tool for the tests. You can even have in person and remote in the same class if the material is made available online.
