New Learning MOOC’s Updates
Practice Peer-graded Assignment: Optional Peer Reviewed Update #1
I was born in the 80's, I studied engineering and piano. The way of teaching at the time when I studied both on one side and on the other is light years away from how it is taught now in many institutions. The use of MOOCs, the digitization of content, access to information and contact and interaction with colleagues and professors is very different.
When I studied the teacher-student hierarchy was very marked. In engineering there were subjects whose professor had written a book about it and we had to know it in order to pass the exam. In piano, that hierarchy was even stronger.
Nowadays, with digital systems, this hierarchy has been smoothed out in many cases, as well as the cooperative treatment between teacher and student, who seems more like a mentor than an "old-fashioned boss". however, as the whole environment is digital, the communication experiences between company members are lost, as they are only an avatar and there are no "real" experiences. It is more difficult to have long term interactions with both company members and teachers. With the new systems, I have the feeling that this has been lost.
