						<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;float: right;&quot; src=&quot;http://www.e-learn.nl/media/blogs/e-learn/foto/agora/agora-inhuldiging.jpg?mtime=1366551080&quot; alt=&quot;Inhuldigingsplaquette&quot; height=&quot;200&quot; /&gt;Afgelopen donderdag was ik bij de opening van het leercentrum Agora van de KU Leuven op uitnodiging van Fred Truyen. Het leercentrum is gerealiseerd in de binnenstad van Leuven in de oude Pharmacie instituut uit 1932. Er is plaats voor zo&#039;n 550 studenten om te studeren. De KU Leuven heeft 7,5 miljoen euro ge&amp;#239;nvesteerd in de renovatie.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Het leercentrum is doordeweeks open van 8uur &#039;s ochtends tot 12uur &#039;s avond. In het weekend en tijdens vakanties is het open van 9 tot 1 9uur.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Verschillende ruimtes&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Het gebouw is opgedeeld in verschillende zones, afhankelijk van de activiteit die de studenten willen doen. Hieronder de afbeeldingen:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.e-learn.nl/media/blogs/e-learn/foto/agora/agora-silentzone.jpg?mtime=1366551357&quot; alt=&quot;Silent zone&quot; height=&quot;80&quot; /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.e-learn.nl/media/blogs/e-learn/foto/agora/agora-timeoutzone.jpg?mtime=1366551369&quot; alt=&quot;TimeOutzone&quot; height=&quot;80&quot; /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.e-learn.nl/media/blogs/e-learn/foto/agora/agora-groupstudyzone.jpg?mtime=1366551396&quot; alt=&quot;Groupzone&quot; height=&quot;80&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Verder gaan ze er vanuit dat studenten hun eigen devices meenemen. Er zijn daarvoor zeer groot aantal stopcontacten gerealiseerd. De netwerkverbinding gaat volledig via wifi (eduroam werkte prima).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;De stilteplekken zijn gerealiseerd o.a. gerealiseerd in de oude practicumruimte van pharmacie. Ze hebben daarbij de originele kasten laten staan. Dat geeft een fraai effect:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.e-learn.nl/media/blogs/e-learn/foto/agora/0VKpUXrTV3ocwNRg646FamFGtpZHc8SdWb16OTgDTFs.jpg?mtime=1366551405&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;600&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;De andere stilte ruimte is wel helemaal voorzien van een nieuwe inrichting:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.e-learn.nl/media/blogs/e-learn/foto/agora/Rqe4RwYBa0beryLDEuxXXG2rA4TpxT5nZAnp8cJB-YE.jpg?mtime=1366551416&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;600&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Wat mij hier vooral op viel was dat ze aanpassingen aan de akoustiek hebben gedaan, waardoor het veel rustig is. Er is vrijwel geen echo aanwezig. Ze hebben zowel het plafond als de muren voorzien van speciale bekleding om dit te realiseren.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;float: right;&quot; src=&quot;http://www.e-learn.nl/media/blogs/e-learn/foto/agora/Ur-Cb6AoSX-hQKr-ycxcmVC3OkOkxYK8o-U8xz7nF6U.jpg?mtime=1366551430&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;250&quot; /&gt;De groepswerkzone bestaat uit verschillende lokalen die studenten online kunnen reserveren. Er zijn verschillende ruimtes, die allemaal naar bekende plaatsen in de wereld zijn genoemd. Zoals Amsterdam, Berlijn, Athens. (Teleurstellend natuurlijk dat Delft er niet bij zit).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Persoonlijk vond ik dat ze die thema&#039;s in de ruimtes nog meer zichtbaar hadden mogen maken. In elke ruimte hangt nu 1 prent erover. Waarom niet een hele wand met de skyline van Berlijn?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Technische voorzieningen&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Qua technische voorzieningen hebben ze alle groepsruimtes voorzien van smartboards. Ook zijn er ruimtes specifiek voor online vergaderen (video-conferencing) of het opnemen van een college. Ook&amp;#160; zijn er ruimtes waar studenten video-bewerkingen kunnen doen, inclusief een uitleenmogelijkheid van camera.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.e-learn.nl/media/blogs/e-learn/foto/agora/I8TuJcfMu2MNNx2KNzBDOrI1tkGZ3BtLvK06BuafACY.jpg?mtime=1366551440&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;300&quot; /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.e-learn.nl/media/blogs/e-learn/foto/agora/WjFxj70DuNV9iEJ6E576PPA0ljvGUx1XoVVWg2VystI.jpg?mtime=1366551486&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;300&quot; /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.e-learn.nl/media/blogs/e-learn/foto/agora/ys28pVbzR1Xjctf9M96sNtNmxiTU3-qZ83NbXuVG7Do.jpg?mtime=1366551510&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;300&quot; /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.e-learn.nl/media/blogs/e-learn/foto/agora/DApsRD8EaFOklp7rFc1U2ep9pyEv6rpdwueQNZJTjqA.jpg?mtime=1366551522&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;300&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Conclusie&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ik denk dat dit een goede aanwinst voor de studenten van de KU Leuven. Zij kunnen hier uitstekend studeren en samenwerken. Persoonlijk vond ik niet heel veel vernieuwds in het gebouw als ik het vergelijk met het TU Delft Library Learning Centre. Een van de opvallende zaken vond ik dat er bij de ingang toegangspoortjes zijn en je dus alleen naar binnen mag met een campuskaart. Dat maakt een niet erg open space.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Wel een interessante mogelijkheid is dat ze ook een studeertuin hebben toegevoegd, zodat je ook buiten kan studeren.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hieronder nog enkele foto&#039;s om een indruk te geven van het gebouw:&lt;/p&gt;

			<title>The predictability of hype cycles</title>

The small number that turn out to be right are largely luck, but we tend to remember them because they reinforce our naive belief that the future can be predicted.&quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;first-para&quot;&gt;Every December and January you see lots of prediction of what the new year will bring. Very known predictions are the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.wired.com/beyond_the_beyond/2012/10/gartner-hype-cycle-2012/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Gartner Hype Cycle&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.e-learn.nl/2012/02/06/2012-horizon-report&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Horizon report&lt;/a&gt; of Educause and the New Media Consortium. If you look at the Horizon Report for 2012 they completely missed the development of MOOCs, while 2012 was declared as &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nytimes.com/2012/11/04/education/edlife/massive-open-online-courses-are-multiplying-at-a-rapid-pace.html?pagewanted=all&amp;amp;_r=0&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Year of the MOOCs&lt;/a&gt; by the New York Times.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;first-para&quot;&gt;Most of these predictions are based on some sort of research methodology, but also a lot of guessing. This year David Kernohan created a &lt;a href=&quot;http://followersoftheapocalyp.se/the-fota-edubeardstroke-parabola-2013/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;FOTA EdubBeardStroke Parabola 2013&lt;/a&gt;. I personally really like the methodology he used to create this:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;em&gt;This diagram was prepared by taking one person who thinks too much about learning technology, leaving them on a train for a stupid amount of time and then marinating in beer and nachos&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Very known predictions are the <a href="http://www.wired.com/beyond_the_beyond/2012/10/gartner-hype-cycle-2012/" target="_blank">Gartner Hype Cycle</a> and <a href="http://www.e-learn.nl/2012/02/06/2012-horizon-report" target="_blank">Horizon report</a> of Educause and the New Media Consortium. If you look at the Horizon Report for 2012 they completely missed the development of MOOCs, while 2012 was declared as <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2012/11/04/education/edlife/massive-open-online-courses-are-multiplying-at-a-rapid-pace.html?pagewanted=all&amp;_r=0" target="_blank">Year of the MOOCs</a> by the New York Times.</p>
<p class="first-para">Most of these predictions are based on some sort of research methodology, but also a lot of guessing. This year David Kernohan created a <a href="http://followersoftheapocalyp.se/the-fota-edubeardstroke-parabola-2013/" target="_blank">FOTA EdubBeardStroke Parabola 2013</a>. I personally really like the methodology he used to create this:</p>
<blockquote><em>This diagram was prepared by taking one person who thinks too much about learning technology, leaving them on a train for a stupid amount of time and then marinating in beer and nachos</em></blockquote>

This month she is doing a serie about the top Ed-Tech trends of 2012. She has publiced 10 really great articles which everyone in education should read:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://hackeducation.com/2012/11/21/top-ed-tech-trends-of-2012-maker-movement/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Maker Movement&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Maker Movement reflects the technological, political, and economic zeitgeist: the need for a technologically skilled work force, hope for a revival of American manufacturing, concern about STEM education all the while cutting many of the programs in schools that foster these skills to make more room for more standardized testing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://hackeducation.com/2012/11/27/top-ed-tech-trends-of-2012-learning-to-code/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Learning to Code&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was sheer marketing genius: the announcement on January 1 by the learn-to-program startup Codecademy that 2012 should be &amp;#8220;Code Year.&amp;#8221;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

But with all the hype surrounding both Khan Academy and MOOCs, it&amp;#8217;s hardly surprising that the practice became incredibly popular this year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://hackeducation.com/2012/12/03/top-ed-tech-trends-of-2012-moocs/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;MOOCs&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Massive Open Online Courses. MOOCs. This was, without a doubt, the most important and talked-about trend in education technology this year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

There was certainly plenty of interest in (and handwringing about) testing this year, and perhaps the political and financial pressures from that continue to spur this trend. Certainly there were a number of ed-tech companies that offered data &amp;#8220;solutions&amp;#8221; and learning analytics. But who uses these tools? Who benefits? And who owns the data?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://hackeducation.com/2012/12/12/top-ed-tech-trends-of-2012-platforming-of-education/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;The Platforming of Education&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;There seems to be an interesting tension here with education platforms and the &amp;#8220;unbundling of education.&amp;#8221; We have heard a lot this year about &amp;#8220;unbundling&amp;#8221;: that many the services once offered by schools &amp;#8212; content delivery, assessment, credentialing, research, mentorship, affiliation and networking, job placement &amp;#8212; will no longer be monopolized by them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

It is political because of the &lt;em&gt;polis&lt;/em&gt; &amp;#8212; the connections between education and community. Education is political because learning is at once personal (and, of course, &amp;#8220;the personal is political&amp;#8221;) and social; it is both private and public.&lt;/li&gt;

Volgens docenten verandert het leergedrag van studenten door technologie:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;em&gt;There is a widespread belief among teachers that students&amp;#8217; constant use of digital technology is hampering their attention spans and ability to persevere in the face of challenging tasks, according to two surveys of teachers being released on Thursday.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Interessant vind ik ook het Wikipedia-problem:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;em&gt;students have grown so accustomed to getting quick answers with a few keystrokes that they are more likely to give up when an easy answer eludes them&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Volgens de onderzoeken vinden 76% van de docenten dat studenten hier last van hebben. Ik herken dit gedrag wel bij studenten. Volgens mij is hier ook een belangrijke taak voor docenten. Als je opdrachten voor studenten maakt, probeer dan ook zelf hoe snel je het antwoord kan googlen.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;item_footer&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.e-learn.nl/2012/11/24/technology-changing-how-students-learn&quot;&gt;Original post&lt;/a&gt; blogged on &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.e-learn.nl/&quot;&gt;E-learn.nl&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description>

						<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;float: right;&quot; src=&quot;http://www.e-learn.nl/media/blogs/e-learn/innovating_pedagogy13-211x300.jpg?mtime=1343122850&quot; alt=&quot;Cover of report&quot; width=&quot;211&quot; height=&quot;300&quot; /&gt;The Open University UK started a serie reports about &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.open.ac.uk/blogs/innovating/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;innovating pedagogy&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The series of reports explores new forms of teaching, learning and assessment for an interactive world, to guide teachers and policy makers in productive innovation.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.open.ac.uk/blogs/innovating/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;first report&lt;/a&gt; deals with 10 innovations that are already here, but are not used on a large scale. The 10 innovations they discuss are:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;New pedagogy for e-books&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Publisher-led short courses&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Assessment for learning&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Badges to accredit learning&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;MOOCs&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Rebirth of academic publishing&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Seamless learning&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Learning analytics&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Personal inquiry learning&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Rhizomatic learning&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Personally I like the term &quot;seamless learning&quot;. This is connecting learning across settings, technologies and activities:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;em&gt;Seamless learning is when a person experiences a continuity of learning across a combination of locations, times, technologies or social settings. Such learning may be intentional, such as when a learning activity starts in a classroom then continues through an informal discussion with colleagues, or online at home. It can also be accidental, for example when an interesting piece of information from a newspaper or television programme sparks a conversation with friends. Seamless learning can be a collective or an individual process. It can extend across time and locations, offer ubiquitous access to learning resources, encompass physical and digital worlds, engage multiple types of device, and integrate different approaches to teaching and learning.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The report is easy to read and also for me it included new and interesting information. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.open.ac.uk/blogs/innovating/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Download the report here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

<blockquote><strong>The series of reports explores new forms of teaching, learning and assessment for an interactive world, to guide teachers and policy makers in productive innovation.</strong></blockquote>
<p>The <a href="http://www.open.ac.uk/blogs/innovating/" target="_blank">first report</a> deals with 10 innovations that are already here, but are not used on a large scale. The 10 innovations they discuss are:</p>
<ol>
<li>New pedagogy for e-books</li>
<li>Publisher-led short courses</li>
<li>Assessment for learning</li>
<li>Badges to accredit learning</li>
<li>MOOCs</li>
<li>Rebirth of academic publishing</li>
<li>Seamless learning</li>
<li>Learning analytics</li>
<li>Personal inquiry learning</li>
<li>Rhizomatic learning</li>
</ol>
<p>Personally I like the term "seamless learning". This is connecting learning across settings, technologies and activities:</p>
<blockquote><em>Seamless learning is when a person experiences a continuity of learning across a combination of locations, times, technologies or social settings.

			<title>Net-les: online huiswerkbegeleiding</title>
			<link>http://www.e-learn.nl/2012/04/11/net-les-online-huiswerkbegeleiding</link>

						<description>&lt;p&gt;De afgelopen jaren zijn de huiswerkbegeleidingsinstituten uit de grond geschoten. Hier is dus duidelijk behoefte aan. Wat opvalt is dat deze eigenlijk allemaal vrij traditioneel van opzet zijn. Ze hebben een ruimte waar de scholieren na school naar toe komen om huiswerk te doen en om bijles te krijgen.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a title=&quot;Net-les: Online huiswerkbegeleiding&quot; href=&quot;http://www.net-les.nl/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;float: right; border: 0;&quot; src=&quot;http://www.e-learn.nl/media/blogs/e-learn/images/logo-net-les.png?mtime=1334128427&quot; alt=&quot;Logo Net-les.nl&quot; width=&quot;200&quot; height=&quot;90&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Afgelopen week sprak ik met de oprichters van &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.net-les.nl/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Net-les.nl&lt;/a&gt;. Dit is een online huiswerkbegeleiding, opgezet door TU Delft-studenten en de begeleiders zijn ook allemaal studenten van de TU. Zij richten zich hiermee natuurlijk op de beta-vakken (wis-,natuur- en scheikunde).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;De begeleiding vindt volledig online plaatst op basis van het platform &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.scribblar.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Scribblar.com&lt;/a&gt;. Hier heeft Net-les een eigen interface omheen gebouwd, vooral ook voor de registratie van de voortgang en administratie.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Als scholier krijg je hier dus 1-op-1 begeleiding en wordt de voortgang bewaakt. Het voordeel is dat het online is en je niet gebonden bent aan locatie. Dus ook scholieren die niet in Delft wonen, kunnen nu goede bijles krijgen.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Het lijkt mij een uitstekende manier voor bijles. Wij gaan kijken of we binnen de TU hier ook wat mee kunnen doen in samenwerking met OpenCourseWare.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;item_footer&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.e-learn.nl/2012/04/11/net-les-online-huiswerkbegeleiding&quot;&gt;Original post&lt;/a&gt; blogged on &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.e-learn.nl/&quot;&gt;E-learn.nl&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description>
