on MOOCs from Class Central. Yes, it's true the term MOOC
is being phased out (trend 6). But people are still doing
online learning, and even open online learning, and they're
doing it in numbers greater than ever before, and MOOCs
have found their place (trend 1). They are becoming more
diverse, and incorporating more toold (trend 4) and by now
they are beginning to professionalize (trend 5).

Some good thoughts with respect to maker spaces (quoted):
Makerspaces should never be owned by single departments or
disciplines;
Whenever possible there should be a real-world purpose to
the making Link
The flow from construction from studio to fabrication lab
is critical.
Eliminate barriers to creation by avoiding as many
prerequisites as possible.
Accdording to Swearer, "The collaborative environment
makerspaces create helps students develop a sense of
empowerment and resourcefulness. Thus, they acquire the
desire and ability to create change through making."

Network-based assessment in education
,
-------------------------------------------------------------

Good article that anticipates the sort off network
evaluations modern technologies now make possible online.
From 2003 but relevant today. "The new technology enhanced
conception of assessment stands in contrast to the
traditional view of assessments as 'tests' of knowledge
remembered. Instead, the new perspective on assessment
seeks to create a body of “evidence” of usable
and available knowledge observed in natural settings of the
learner." Exactly.
