In the seats are the students, armed with smartphones, laptops, tablets, music players, and social networking. Although these two forces seem poised to do battle with each other, they are really both taking part in a war on learning itself. In this book, Elizabeth Losh examines current efforts to "reform" higher education by applying technological solutions to problems in teaching and learning. She finds that many of these initiatives fail because they treat education as a product rather than a process. Highly touted schemes -- video games for the classroom, for example, or the distribution of iPads -- let students down because they promote consumption rather than intellectual development. Losh analyzes recent trends in postsecondary education and the rhetoric around them, often drawing on first-person accounts. In an effort to identify educational technologies that might actually work, she looks at strategies including MOOCs (massive open online courses), the gamification of subject matter, remix pedagogy, video lectures (from Randy Pausch to "the Baked Professor"), and educational virtual worlds. Finally, Losh outlines six basic principles of digital learning and describes several successful university-based initiatives. Her book will be essential reading for campus decision makers -- and for anyone who cares about education and technology. 606 $aEducation, Higher$xEffect of technological innovations on 606 $aEducation, Higher$xComputer network resources 606 $aTeacher-student relationships 606 $aInternet in education 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEducation, Higher$xEffect of technological innovations on. 615 0$aEducation, Higher$xComputer network resources. 615 0$aTeacher-student relationships. 615 0$aInternet in education. 676 $a378.1/7344678 700 $aLosh$b Elizabeth M.$g(Elizabeth Mathews)$0962885 801 0$bCaBNVSL 801 1$bCaBNVSL 801 2$bCaBNVSL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910464550303321 996 $aThe war on learning$92245126 997 $aUNINA
