Content-type: text/html Downes.ca ~ Stephen's Web ~ Investigating the Key Attributes to Enhance Students’ Learning Experience in 21st Century Class Environment

Stephen Downes

Knowledge, Learning, Community

I'll skip past the details of the survey of 300 Malaysian students (at least they're not from a small midwestern university) and get to the factors identified by the authors (all quoted, but paraphrased):

  • group learning can be stimulated by emphasizing work, relationship, positive attitudes, active participation, improved leadership, and collaborative learning.
  • motivation can be stimulated by emphasizing effort and feeling satisfied though learning
  • skills development can be stimulated by emphasizing the use of web resources, enhanced online communication, and meaningful presentation
  • knowledge transfer can be stimulated by project management and readiness for future developments

This all feels a bit made-up, honestly, because these attributes and factors read more like platitudes than real findings. You can read the web version (in Flash - ugh) here.
