Dr. Curt Bonk, Professor at Indiana University, released the update to his “monster”, the 76 page syllabus for his Emerging Learning Technologies course. See the PDF; HTML versions.
When Dr. Bonk says in his blog that updating the syllabus is an exhausting exercise, we all need to take notice. As his former student, I can attest that Dr. Bonk makes the Energizer Bunny look like a couch potato. As he describes within his blog:
“Each year, I attempt to update the weeks on mobile learning, augmented and virtual reality, open and digital textbooks, e-learning and blended learning, open educational resources (OER), massive open online courses (MOOCs), collaborative technologies, and much much more. This year I added AI and adaptive learning to the final weeks. … The syllabus contains high level research articles, free and open books and technical reports in the field of learning technologies, daily news articles, videos on each topic, researcher interviewers, open educational resources, links to technology tools and vendors, etc.”
I speak for all of when I say, “Thank you for the effort!” I’m doing my (very) little part to spread the word that the monster is loose!
