He calls for education reform that includes more problem-based learning in other fields. 3 Fri, 07 Sep 2007 15:39:07 GMT http://syndicatemizzou.org/resources/jonassen/mp3/jonassen12-teachinglearning.mp3 Education http://syndicatemizzou.org/resources/jonassen/mp3/jonassen12-teachinglearning.mp3 3 Fri, 07 Sep 2007 15:40:08 GMT http://syndicatemizzou.org/resources/gallimore/ipod/gallimore06.m4v Education http://syndicatemizzou.org/resources/gallimore/ipod/gallimore06.m4v Gallimore has merged her academic research with social activism. While her background in linguistic theory is useful in understanding certain linguistic phenomena, she acknowledges that “if I go speak about the semiotics of the language of the genocide, that’s something that academicians would understand, but it may not be useful for someone outside of the association.” Realizing this limitation, she founded Step Up! American Association for Rwandan Women, an organization that recognizes the reality that “the needs of the Rwandan women are enormous. Not only are there concerns for practical things such as jobs, food, and school supplies, but the mental health needs have largely remained unaddressed. Post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, and anxiety remain as an aftermath of the intense horror of the genocide.” Step Up has developed a number of projects to help redress these problems. 3 Fri, 26 Oct 2007 16:55:45 GMT http://syndicatemizzou.org/resources/koller/ipod/Koller01.m4v Education http://syndicatemizzou.org/resources/koller/ipod/Koller01.m4v Most of Jim Koller’s past research and practice as a licensed psychologist was directed toward pathology, that is, “abnormal behavior.” But he became disillusioned with the then-current state of affairs, realizing that “we have to do something _different_ to stop the escalating incidence of mental illness vis-à-vis mental health problems in the country.” With the cooperation of the Missouri state legislature and the Department of Mental Health, the Center for the Advancement of Mental Health Practices in the Schools was conceived—“with the whole thrust being a paradigmatic shift from mental illness to mental health.” 3 Mon, 12 Nov 2007 22:38:38 GMT http://syndicatemizzou.org/resources/koller/ipod/Weston04.m4v Education http://syndicatemizzou.org/resources/koller/ipod/Weston04.m4v At the first and only sanctioned online-degree program with a focus on mental health issues in schools in the country, students can take individual courses based on their unique needs through continuing education, and even earn a degree at the Masters or Education Specialist level. Recognized as a national model, the Center’s online program focuses on evidence-based practice and on current, practical application-driven principles and tested theories; people working in the field can take coursework in areas with which they are being confronted professionally. 3 Wed, 28 Nov 2007 16:04:45 GMT http://syndicatemizzou.org/resources/yoon/ipod/Yoon06-Yoon.m4v Education http://syndicatemizzou.org/resources/yoon/ipod/Yoon06-Yoon.m4v Education is one area in which virtual reality holds great potential. “Some people don’t have access to the real world, but they can take advantage of this virtual environment, which is generated in 3D,” Yoon explains. That means students can meet in the Louvre Museum in Paris, and walk around the buildings and study the art. Because the program employs a multi-user-based system, students can interact with each other in a virtual world. “So we are exploring the possibility of using that technology to deliver our studio courses,” says Yoon, who someday hopes that students will be able “to create and critique in a virtual environment without actually meeting the person face-to-face.” 3 Tue, 18 Mar 2008 17:20:59 GMT
