An Australian study has found that academics are largely oblivious to the “online engagement fatigue” engulfing students. Spurred by the need to cater to different learning preferences, educators dish up a banquet of recommended readings, videos, online forums, course announcements and weekly lecture recordings. But do they “overdo” it? “Are students [becoming] tired from those very engagement strategies designed to support [their] learning?” researchers from the universities of Southern Queensland and Newcastle asked in the journal Computers and…

The premier believe it is essential “to be able to demand management and accountability agreements from the service centers.” The cold reception of the bill by the teaching community and other political parties appeared to have…

“Students can’t learn in an absence of feedback,” Pellegrino said. “It’s not just assessing, but providing feedback that’s actionable on the part of students.” HOW TO SUPPORT DEEPER LEARNING THROUGH POLICY In order for deeper learning to become the norm rather than the exception, it has to be a priority for local, state, and national policy makers, said Linda Darling-Hammond, professor of education at Stanford and advocate for education reform. Common Core State Standards, which begin to push towards critical reasoning and problem solving and application of knowledge, are only being applied to math and literacy, he said. “What about…
