Upcoming Roundtable May 3, 2013
Transforming Educational Culture through Online Language Learning, presented by Dr. Carl Falsgraf, will discuss how disruptive innovations - including the steam engine, automobiles, and computers - are first seen as incremental innovations that enhance existing systems. This is especially true in the realm of online learning. The vast majority of current online offerings retain the trappings of traditional classrooms: lectures, quizzes, and grades.
The disruptive potential of online learning lies not in the mere inclusion of the Internet but in the facilitation of socially constructed learning networks that provide a space for peers to interact with their domain of study in unique ways.
These learning networks radically redefine the roles of teacher and student, particularly in performative fields such as music, counseling, machine operation and - the focus of this presentation - language learning.
