Imagine a language student being able to listen to pronunciation along with a study guide. With a QR code embedded on a vocabulary sheet, students can download a mp3 file and listen along as they study.
Audio files can be created for any lecture or instruction where an auditory experience would enhance the learning.
QR [Quick Response] codes can be applied anywhere you desire learning to occur. Perhaps out on campus where a QR code could be scanned to link to richer content.
Since labs are often difficult to make-up, labs can be video recorded and QR [Quick Response] codes can be applied to a lab calendar. Students are able to scan the QR code to download the lab.
Additionally, difficult procedures can be recorded by video and/or audio and added to lab handouts for distribution before, during or after class.
In May 2011, Peter Thiel—PayPal co-founder, venture capitalist, and a member of Facebook’s board of directors—predicted that higher education would be the next bubble to burst. According to Thiel, higher education in America bears the same markings as the technology and housing bubbles that preceded it: unbridled investment, wildly overvalued assets, and a lower rate of return than in years past. Like all economic bubbles, Thiel argues that higher education is destined for disaster.
I am ALL for higher education and these infographics and video give us all pause to think through the costs of education. Online education can help trim costs and offer an excellent education.
