But interviews with six people who were involved in projects that Mr. Buttigieg worked on at McKinsey, along with gleanings from his autobiography, fill in some of the blanks.

Just this week, ProPublica, copublishing with The Times, revealed that McKinsey consultants had recommended in 2017 that Immigration and Customs Enforcement cut its spending on food for migrants and medical care for detainees.

The firm has long advocated business strategies like raising executive compensation, moving labor offshore and laying off workers to cut costs.

Speaking in Waterloo, Iowa, that evening, Mr. Buttigieg reiterated his request for McKinsey to release him from the nondisclosure agreement.

As Mr. Buttigieg explains it, that is not a matter of choice. For all of his efforts to run an open, accessible campaign — marked by frequent on-the-record conversations with reporters on his blue-and-yellow barnstorming bu

Furthermore, someone who has just learned something is often better at helping someone else learn it, than is someone who learned it long ago. In addition to older students teaching slightly younger ones, peers can learn from each other in collaborative projects, and they can also serve as peer tutors.

Third, it is often said

Second, to prepare the student for lifelong learning, the teacher helps each student to become a self-directed and self-motivated learner.

First, the teacher is a designer of student work (Schlechty, 2002). The student work includes that which is done in both the project space and the instructional space

For application (skills), tutorials with generality, examples, practice, and immediate feedback are most effective (Merrill, 1983; Romiszowski, 2009).

Finally, much learner time can be wasted during PBI

This makes it difficult for them to learn to use the skill in the full range of situations in which they are likely to need it in the future. Many skills require extensive practice to develop to a proficient or expert level, yet that rarely happens in PBI.

In schools across the country, opportunities for students to participate in high-quality arts instruction and activities are diminishing, the result of shifting priorities and budgetcuts. Poor, inner-city and rural schools bear a disproportionateshare of the losses.

we had presented the deep dives in a separate section of the courseware from the lecture videos. We hypothesized that this organization sent the message to learners that the deep dives were less important than the lecture video

We found no correlation between video segment length and completion rate in either run of the course. Moreover, in disagreement with the literature, we observe no drop off in learner engagement at 6 minutes of video length.

For example, Richard Mayer has developed a set of principles for multimedia learning that takes into account factors such as minimizing extraneous cognitive load to optimize the effectiveness of multimedia

Among Mayer’s principles are that audio and visual should work seamlessly together, and that on-screen text should be minimal and in close proximity to the graphics [1]

Thus, our model is that learners with a higher degree of knowledge about the subject matter may feel that they do not need to complete the deep dive videos, while they feel the lecture videos are valuable.

As the deep dives take pains to follow evidence-based best practices and are more labor-intensive to make, further study of this difference in viewer retention would inform future course development decisions

Learning activities focused ex-tensively on readings and discussion boards might become a chore, rather than motivating students to actively learn and interact, if the quality of in-teractions is not guaranteed (Dennen, 2008)

Even if the amount of course content is large, chunking it into smaller units may help reduce students’ cognitive load and better pace their learning (Cheon, Crooks, & Chung, 2014)

students might have felt less stressed being assessed on their performance multiple times.

erhaps, small-er chunks of assignments (e.g., module quizzes and reading summaries) would have been more effective than fewer and bigger assignments (e.g., mid-term and final projects

This does not indicate that every course should have the exact same design; nonetheless, a certain level of consis-tency in exterior design and organization across a program may establish a program’s identity as well as help students who take multiple online courses at a time by reducing confusion and time spent on figuring out each course’s design every semester (Machado & Tao, 2007; Selim, 2007)

Even within an academic program, it was difficult to find consisten-cy in design that might contribute to the program’s identity or easy navi-gation throughout multiple courses within the program.

Only a few instructors attempted to incorporate new technology tools or different learning activities other than reading, discus-sion, or content presentation for both graduate and undergraduate courses.

We found that other course elements, such as module’s learning ob-jectives, instructor’s self-introduction, quizzes, group projects, Q/A space, number of discussion forums and instructor’s postings, had no significant relationship to students’ course satisfaction, as shown in Tables 4 and 5.

urthermore, the number of modules ranged from 3 to 17 modules (an overall mean of 9.7 modules per course) across 90 courses.

Multimodal assignments and assessments offer faculty and students the opportunity to flex their creative muscles, engage with emerging forms of media, and complete work in areas where they feel confident.

Another option is to offer specific criteria that hold across any type of assignment: an introduction with a clear argument, 6-8 pieces of scholarly evidence, analysis of at least 2 data points, etc.

However, animations can be designed to reduce cognitive overload (Ayres & Paas, 2007) by visually cueing important information (e.g., de Koning, Tabbers, Rikers, & Paas, 2007), presenting related information before animations (e.g., Mayer, Mathias, & Wetzell, 2002), or dividing animations into segmented pieces (e.g., Mayer, 2009; Spanjers et al., 2010).

animations are not always superior to static graphics, because they may impose additional cognitive load (Hegarty, Kriz, & Cate, 2003; Mayer, Hegarty, Mayer, & Campbell, 2005; Phan,2011; Spanjers, Wouters, van Gog, &van Merriënboer, 2011; Tversky, Morrison, & Betrancourt, 2002

We are misunderstood. Many of us (about 62%) feel as though our role is not understood by others in our institutions (Rubley, 2016). This means that our help is often not sought or, worse yet, ignored. 

Instructional designers are a diverse group, and we wear many hats. In addition to designing courses, we manage projects, train others on technology, conduct research, and teach pedagogy (Intentional Futures, 2016).

Several adaptive systems have been designed and developed in order to accommodate learner individual differences. Examples of such systems include AHA! (Stash, Cristea, & de Bra, 2006) and INSPIRE (Papanikolaou, Grigoriadou, Kornilakis & Magoulas, 2003) which adapts instruction based on student learning styles; ELM-ART II which adapts instruction based on knowledge levels and student preferences (Weber & Specht, 1997); INTERBOOK (Brusilovsky, Eklund, & Schwarz, 1998) which adapts instruction based on knowledge level; and AES-CS (Triantafillou, Pomportsis, & Georgiadou, 2002) which adapts instruction based on student cognitive style.

I. A. Richards’ view of reading as active exploration, knew full well that reading, like writing, amounts to an act of “constructing,” a creative act of the mind.

It seems odd, does it not, to describe readers as “activists.” After all, reading is a private act, done mostly in silence and apart from others.

You can watch a video of Fiona Shaw performing Eliot’s dense masterpiece; listen to readings by Eliot, Alec Guinness, Jeremy Irons, and others; watch a video of Seamus Heaney speaking about the poem; see the manuscript with Eliot’s handwritten revisions and related photographs; and read the many explanatory notes. Immersion in Shaw’s exquisite performance makes the poem come alive, an inkling of our ancestors’ pleasurable experiences of oral performance.

One student told me that pairing such a dynamic medium with the old-fashioned "words on the page" was an obvious recipe for disengagement with the less-dynamic medium

In effect, they spend more time avoiding literature than it would have taken to read it.

I often require students to write three paragraphs of analytical commentary for a reading assignment. Yet rather than actually read and analyze the text, some students instead spend their time combing the internet for summaries and then copying vague language they’ve clearly lifted from online sources. That happens no matter how short the reading.

I have gradually decreased the length of my reading assignments — from long novels to short stories and poetry — yet students still balk.

they are increasingly reluctant to engage with course readings.

My students’ literary analyses were indisputably enriched by Hypothes.is. It facilitated easy online interaction with a variety of texts and each other, and it required students to anchor their comments rigorously in specific textual passages.

Annotations disappear from the sidebar if their original text ‘anchor’ has been deleted from the page code.

focused annotation along a number of axes:

For this course, I simply required students to post literary, historical, or ethical annotations, sometimes guiding them with a broad prompt.

The students spread out among all the different pages of this site as though wandering through a many-roomed museum.

In the other assignments, students annotated Victorian texts that had not already been discussed in class, although they were expected to draw upon and refer to knowledge they had gained from the course. These assignments asked students to pull together two to five weeks’ new knowledge to make sense of a difficult new text, acting as capstone assignments at the end of each of the main segments of the course.

In one assignment, the students group-annotated an e-text of George Eliot’s novella The Lifted Veil, an assigned text, which had been discussed in other course materials such as my video lecture and discussion questions. Annotation in Hypothes.is requires students to attach their response to a specific element in the text.

And I wanted to require students to make links to our assigned Victorian texts. I wanted our tool to anchor students’ analysis in specific words, phrases, passages, and images so they were forced to engage with the language of the period.

How News Genius Silences Writers

By giving student writers the ability to "talk back" collectively to texts, social annotation has the potential to advance a pedagogy committed to questioning authority and asserting democratic ownership of knowledge and culture.

Online, annotators can build on one another's insights, share contextual knowledge they find through research, and argue with each other as well as the text.

One creative writing exercise might be to have students annotate in the voices of a characters from a novel being read.

Instructional Design in Higher Education3Summary of Findings

However, what we won’t know is how many high-school seniors opted out of the four-year college pathway in favor of shorter-term, anytime, lower-cost credentialing.

Consider this comment from May 2019 by Tim Cook, Apple’s chief executive: “I don’t think a four-year degree is necessary to be proficient in coding. I think that is an old, traditional view.”

For too long, colleges — public and private, liberal arts and research-driven, rural and urban — have operated as if they’re solely in the higher-education business rather than in the broader postsecondary-education sector.

but they can trim the institutional sails.

Some preprofessional majors are faring no better: Bachelor’s degrees in education declined by 15 percent between 2005 and 2015. It is little wonder that the Pennsylvania System of Higher Education, significantly dependent on teacher education, has seen its 14 state-owned universities lose 20 percent of their collective enrollment since 2010.
