I was reading a tweet from a person saying they lost points a program written with pen and paper because the teacher thought the code would not run. When the student asked the teacher to write the code on the computer it ran. The Twitter discussion was on the wrongness of code assignments on paper but I am not sure that paper coding assignments are necessarily wrong.

Spend some time in an engaged classroom and you will most likely hear the buzz of teacher and students’ voices, multiplication tables being explored, pencils and crayons slide-tapping across paper, and a variety of devices whirring in the background (printer, tablets, 3D printers, science equipment, etc.). The classroom can be an incredible and dynamic space of active learning, but for some it can also be a cacophony of sound that makes learning difficult and communicating a challenge.

The instructor’s PPT slides are brilliant. You’ve splurged on the expensive interactive courseware. Student engagement is stellar. So… why are half of your students still forgetting everything they learned in just a matter of weeks? It's likely a matter of cognitive science! With so much material to "teach" these days, we often forget to incorporate key proven principles into our curricula — namely active recall, metacognition, spaced repetition, and interleaving practice.

When Ayah Bdeir left for college, she had been dreaming of a creative playground that fell somewhere between the worlds of Inspector Gadget and Bill Nye the Science Guy. Instead, her days were filled with a lot of theory, textbooks, and very few chances to create anything with her own hands. But Ayah quickly learned that recognizing things that don’t feel like a fit can be just as empowering as recognizing the things that do.

In the education space, every quarter carries a specific set of challenges for edtech providers and educational publishers. Take, for example, the back-to-school season rush. It’s a quarter of preparation and careful quality checks to ensure that content and systems are prepared for the new class year. While quality checks and quality assurance (QA) happen all year round, it peaks right before students get back to the classroom.

Emperor penguins are a well-known, flightless bird belonging to the Antarctic regions. These are the tallest among penguins, an individual being 45 inches (114 centimeters) tall on average. Emperor penguins spend their entire lives in the Antarctic regions. They survive through clever adaptations for breeding, raising their young, and eating. One such adaptation is their reproduction and parenting.

The U.S. Department of Education made its move to strengthen oversight of revenue-sharing agreements between colleges and companies that help operate online courses — in steps that could have a big impact in the edtech sector, as well as for the many students enrolled in online degree programs. Last week, the department issued new guidance about how higher ed institutions work with companies that offer a bundle of support for online programs, including student recruitment.
