Content Catastrophe: The Gap Between Textbooks and Global Real-Time Knowledge Acquisition

Title:Content Catastrophe: The Gap Between Textbooks and Global Real-Time Knowledge Acquisition (ID: EDU06297)
Author(s):Deborah Everhart (Blackboard Inc.) and Martin J. Irvine (Georgetown University)
Topics:Curriculum Development, E-Learning, Electronic Resources, Teaching
Origin:EDUCAUSE Annual Conferences (10/12/2006)
Type:Presentations and Seminars
Abstract:Teaching from a textbook is based on the premises that course materials are static and learning experiences can be standardized. In learner-centered environments in an ever-changing world, content needs to be dynamically controlled by instructors and students. The presenters will use case studies to demonstrate how this has been accomplished in courses on globalization, contemporary media, and international security.
