It encourages reflection on best practices and innovation. While online education requires effort, it allows institutions and faculty to better meet

This document discusses three generations of online learning pedagogy: 1) behaviourist/cognitive, 2) social constructivist, and 3) connectivist. The first generation focuses on individual learning through direct instruction and is scalable but lacks social learning. The second generation emphasizes collaborative group learning and knowledge construction but has limitations in size and scalability. The third generation is based on connective knowledge and networked learning through linking to other people and resources on the internet. It focuses on students taking responsibility for their own learning but can be disruptive. Overall, the best approach to online learning combines pedagogies, technologies, and social structures to empower student exploration and lifelong learning.

Here are the key points about the relationship between complexity and rigor in the Common Core State Standards: - The Standards require that students constantly build on and apply their knowledge from year to year in order to gain deep, conceptual understandings and the ability to connect key ideas. - Students are expected to read texts of steadily increasing complexity as they progress through school. This requires continual application of their skills and continual expansion of their abilities over time. - Tasks in the Standards promote the development of higher-order thinking skills like critical analysis, problem solving, and synthesis/creation of new understandings. - The Standards expect students to support their analyses and arguments with evidence from texts and other sources rather than opinions or anecdotes
