At the school where I work students are using simulation environments.
You’re asking a question that literally nobody knows the answer. Just wait like everyone else.
I had thought about the collegiate problems. I’ve been thinking about K-12 education. About how schools need to open up perhaps in May or June and go all throughout the summer and fall.
I would like to know when we can get my kid’s belongings out of his dorm. And if we will be compensated.
“What is going to happen to college student?”
Tell college student get job.
Family member is currently doing all classwork online. I am quite sure they will start up as normal in Sept.
It does depend on the state, though.
My son is watching his chem lab experiments online. Obviously he does not get the hands on experience of doing the procedure. There is no discussion of re-do of these session or retaking the class. I think he will just go into the next lab class and do his best despite this. As will everybody else.
I’m teaching an Organic Chemistry lab, out of necessity we are teaching it online. We use demonstrations and ask the students to record data in notebooks and write reports. A poor substitution for hands on. In my opinion we should refund a portion of the student’s tuition.
Post-secondary educations, trades and college, will likely now be forced to adapt and allow more home learning.
What cannot be taught at home will still have to happen in a campus, but it does mean much less time on that campus.
This is a good thing, imo.
they can all become teachers.....
they be learned good grammar.
Which one?
They go to pass fail and don’t learn anything.
My daughter is a third year medical student. The 3rd and 4th year students were pulled out of the hospitals fairly early. They were told to shelter in place and stay healthy so they could act as medical reserve if too many doctors went down. The curriculum was quickly converted to online, even including interviews with standardized “patients” online. They have now been told they will be going back into the hospitals some time over the summer. Right now she is also doing daily followup with mild coronavirus patients online.
Dysfunctional question.
Whatever they make happen, just like always.
No one gave a crap about my travails and sob stories, nor should they have.
My friend’s daughter is in her last year of pharmacy school. They just cancelled the planned rotations and seminars for the last 2-3 months and will graduate them in May.
All the students had residencies at hospitals, etc… arranged after graduation, so its not a huge loss of learning or opportunity for them.
They might have to get jobs.
SORRY! I was channelling Steven King again....
Day and then evening shifts in the labs.
My brother is a high school teacher. He’s really stressing over this. He teaches CAD design. The semester long project was due about two weeks after the schools closed. He has no real idea where in the project individual students are. The assignment is in school computers and cannot be accessed.
He’s not sure how to grade them
Once students find that they can get an excellent education in lecture courses offered on-line, it will be the death knell for many middle-rank and lower institutions, and hopefully will put a damper on the twice-inflation-rate cost increases at the well-known schools.
Up to this point, hands-on experiences (lab courses, practicals, engineering project courses and the like) helped minimize the competition of on-line outfits, as those exercises require in-person activity. This term many prestigious schools have moved everything on-line, and are putting off actual hands-on lab courses for future terms. That doesn’t eliminate, but it does help moderate the disadvantage of remote-learning institutions - all they need do is come up with some occasional on-site experiences, and they’re in business.
Right now, if you want to take just about any course that MIT offers you can do so on-line. For free. In the future, potential students will more and more see that universities are largely turning into credentialling services. If you can get into an Ivy League school, you can graduate from one. Whether you learn anything there is another story. But, like the Scarecrow in the Wizard of Oz, you can get a piece of paper at the end of four years that says you’re special.
