  2. Technology Can Improve Learning “Students who took all or part of their class online performed better, on average, than those taking the same course through traditional face-to-face instruction.” Department of Education Evaluation of Evidence-Based Practices In Online Learning May 2009

  3. The Context for Digital Learning • Institutional Pressures • Increasing access to education • Student growth US: 20% projected increase 2000 to 2015 • Drives 10% annual growth in US online students • Emphasis on accountability and demonstrated outcomes • Student Needs • Accessibility & mobility (anytime, anywhere) • Multiple demands on time and location • Inconsistent academic and personal preparation for college • Cost of Education • Faculty, facilities • Cost of materials, equipment • The price of texts

  4. Constraints on traditional instruction • Only half of first year students actually discuss their grades/assignments with their instructors • One in five frequently come to class without completing readings or assignments • 40% say they do not receive prompt feedback from instructors • Study hours are only half what instructors think students need to succeed • Less than half of entering freshmen will complete a degree by year 6

  5. revolution in digital information delivery • Two of the most popular devices, iPad and Kindle, have shipped more than 3 million units each, and industry estimates project that as many as 12 to15 million iPads will be in use by the end of 2012. • In July 2010, Amazon’s sales of digital books outsold print books for the second quarter of the year.

  6. Digital textbooks – more than text • Early experiments using textbooks on the Kindle proved disappointing to students and professors, who cited presentation of images and color, file storage and location, page refresh and skimming, highlighting and annotation, and reading for comprehension as limitations.
