Digital Learning Enviroments
“The Challenge of Digital Learning Enviorments in Higher Eduation: The Need for a Merging of Perspectives on Standardization,” is possibly my favorite chapter in Digital Media Revisted. The title of this chapter is self explanatory, but absolutely needed in Higher Education. Every major university has worked together over the years to create similar programs and different majors to give the best learning experience possible to students. If other universities have that program then they can work together and create standardized curriculums and students will be receiving relevant educations. Standardization is a very scary word in education these days. Teacher are blown away with state standards and federal standards that are sometime ridiculous. This chapter is calling for standardization in a different way. Jon Lanestadt is calling for colleges and experts to get involved and create some nationwide (worldwide) standards to fix digital media. If universities could get on the same page we could all work together in a digital media setting which would open up plenty of doors in other subjects. I think its neat to see Blackboard sweeping across the nation. It has already standardized our grading/online teaching system. It will be neat to see if we can connect to other universities soon.
