13. Chris Avenir
Ryerson University sites 3 reasons for
the case against him.
1.Learning should be hard.
2.There is no structure of regulation
for online behavior and that makes it
incompatible with academic work.
3.It is our job to protect academic
integrity from any threat.
i.e. Unless learning is hard and is directed by others, it
fails to meet the standard for academic rigor.
23. “I waited fourteen years to do
something that I should have done
my first year of teaching: shadow a
student for a day.”

140. “My argument is not with educational research
but with the imperative of evidence-based
education policy. At its best, educational
research can provide important
insights into the relationship
between various social and cultural
variables and pedagogic outcomes.”
Why evidence-based teaching methods are a bad idea.
141. But the principal problem educators face today is not the dearth of
educational research or a lack of evidence about ‘what works’, but
rather the increasing absence of any
opportunity for them to exercise
professional judgment and to learn the value of
what Aristotle call phronesis – the virtue of judgment.
Experimentation in education should
be part of a teacher’s everyday life.
Why evidence-based teaching methods are a bad idea.
145. “Books are designed to contain all the
information required to stop inquiries within
the book’s topic. But now that our medium
can handle far more ideas and information,
and now that it is a connective medium
(ideas to ideas, people to
ideas, people to people), our
strategy is changing. And that is changing
the very shape of knowledge.”

“[T]he word “publishing” means a cadre of
professionals who are taking on the
incredible difficulty and complexity and
expense of making something public.
That’s not a job anymore. That’s a
button. There’s a button that says “publish,”
and when you press it, it’s done.” Clay Shirky
