Both courses taught with traditional pedagogy, but with different intensities of 'coverage.' "The most surprising, in fact shocking, result of our study was that the majors completing their course did not perform significantly better than the corresponding cohort of nonmajors." [Note: Less wasn't more, without pedagogical change, but more wasn't more either--and student attitudes suffered.]
I. J Russell, W. D.Hendricson & R. J. Herbert. 1984. "Effects of lecture information density on medical student achievement." Journal of Medical Education 59:881-889. Three different lectures on the same subject. 90% of the sentences in the high-density lecture disseminated new information as did 70% in the medium and 50% in the low. Remaining time used for restating, highlighting significance, more examples, and relating the material to the student's prior experience. Students randomly distributed into the 3 groups (no significant differences in prior GPA or on knowledge base pretest). Students in low treatment learned and retained lecture information better. [Here less is more.] [from C.C. Bonwell]

[ì...scholars have been able to find no significant difference resulting from the use or lack thereof of technological means of delivery.î ìNo matter how it is produced, how it is delivered, whether or not it is interactive, low tech or high tech, students learn equally well...even though students would rather be on campus with an instructor if that were a real choice.î [IF we donít like this conclusion we should either document the differences or, if possible, change classroom pedagogy so that it is better than technology can provide.

Alverno College, Milwaukee WI, a small little-selective Catholic womenís college. Curriculum an especially innovative and effective experiment in undergraduate education. Highly lauded [e.g. a MacArthur Foundation "genius" grant to the college, 1 of 3 Pew Leadership Awards, and citation by The Carnegie Foundation as one of three institutions where undergraduate education is working (other 2: Harvard, University of Chicago)] Deeply focused on eight central abilities or outcomes; new departures in the use of assessment as part of learning; http://www.alverno.edu/glance/g_educators.html], extensively documented [some at: http://www.alverno.edu/educators/e_publications.html but ask for the complete list]See Also:
