How people learn Old model of learning: Stimulus, Response, and Reinforcement.  11 From eBooks to Learning Books
How people learn New model of learning: Contextual, Distributed, Variable 12 From eBooks to Learning Books
How people learn Learning is: Contextual If the balloons popped, the sound would not be able to carry since everything would be too far away from the correct floor. A closed window would also prevent the sound from carrying since most buildings tend to be well insulated. Since the whole operation depends on a steady flow of electricity, a break in the middle of the wire would also cause problems.  Of course the fellow could shout, but the human voice is not loud enough to carry that far. An additional problem would be no accompaniment to the message. It is clear that the best situation would involve less distance.  Then there would be fewer potential problems. With face-to-face contact, the least number of things could go wrong.   13 From eBooks to Learning Books

Conclusion 61 From eBooks to Learning Books
Conclusion Let's not just port the book to a new technology. Think about how people learn, create knowledge, & enjoy exploring and build something new and better for doing that. You don't need to be an expert in cognition to do this - but do think about variability/diversity of people. Many creative ideas come from starting by considering the people "in the margins", then making those features available universally. This UDL design process can be applied to almost anything.  62 From eBooks to Learning Books

  • 13. How people learn Learning is: Contextual If the balloons popped, the sound would not be able to carry since everything would be too far away from the correct floor. A closed window would also prevent the sound from carrying since most buildings tend to be well insulated. Since the whole operation depends on a steady flow of electricity, a break in the middle of the wire would also cause problems. Of course the fellow could shout, but the human voice is not loud enough to carry that far. An additional problem would be no accompaniment to the message. It is clear that the best situation would involve less distance. Then there would be fewer potential problems. With face-to-face contact, the least number of things could go wrong. 13 From eBooks to Learning Books

  • 61. Conclusion 61 From eBooks to Learning Books
  • 62. Conclusion Let's not just port the book to a new technology. Think about how people learn, create knowledge, & enjoy exploring and build something new and better for doing that. You don't need to be an expert in cognition to do this - but do think about variability/diversity of people. Many creative ideas come from starting by considering the people "in the margins", then making those features available universally. This UDL design process can be applied to almost anything. 62 From eBooks to Learning Books

Notes de l'éditeur

  1. I’m Boris, Position, CASTI’m Lisa, Position, CAST
  2. Boris and I work at CAST.CAST is a non-profit research and development organization in Wakefield MA. Our work is primarily centered around expanding learning opportunities for all individuals through Universal Design for Learning – be that through R&D grant projects, Professional Development, Publications, etc.
  3. In today’s talk wewill cover the basics of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and show how applying principles of UDL to the design of electronic books can transform plain text documents into learning tools. We’ll take a quick look at today’s current technology around eReaders and eBooks and talk about the advantages over printed books.Then we’ll dive into a discussion on how people learn and the Universal Design for Learning principles which stem from that research.Finally, we’ll spend the majority of our time showing examples from CAST’s digital learning environments and talking about why they would add value for someone using a book for learning purposes.
  4. As an introduction, let’s take a look at how teens currently view technology in schools – otherwise known as the printed book.So how do we fix Joe’s problem?
  5. Here is a sampling of current electronic reading devices.Things seem to be moving in the right direction for Joe.They enable greater access to more content, by more people, and are good for general reading.
  6. For instance – looking at the Kindle, some of the Affordances that eBooks have, and print does not include the ability to:Click on words to get a definitionAdd notes directly to the page, while you are readingEdit preferences for font size, text to speech, etcAnd Navigate in multiple waysThese helpful features may be all you need for basic leisure reading.
  7. But what if you’re reading something a bit further out of your comfort zone…In an area where maybe you don’t know the content very well…Or perhaps it’s in a language that you are just learning. Think textbooks, scholarly journals, newspapers, or historical primary sources…Or children’s learn to read books, or something in Spanish if you’re trying to learn a new language.Those are all inherently more difficult to read than say Stephen King’s latest novel.Some may be more difficult for a particular person at a particular time. But the more difficulty you have reading something, the less able you are to learn from the material.In such cases even current eBook features may not be enough. This is a opportunity - where the power of technology holds great promise and potential.
  8. This brings us to the main point of this talk. How can we transform eBooks into learning books?
