“Using this kind of corpus data, it is possible to find out about features such as word frequency, collocation, and phraseology and to investigate the ways in which words combine with one another in different contexts... However, most language teachers have not started to use this kind of resource in their own teaching, and I have prepared this questionnaire to try to find out more about who is using corpus data, who is not - and why.” (Tribble, 2012)

“The future looks like this: Access to college-level education will be free for everyone; the residential college campus will become largely obsolete; tens of thousands of professors will lose their jobs; the bachelor’s degree will become increasingly irrelevant; and ten years from now Harvard will enroll ten million students.” (Harden, 2013)

From Gutenberg to Zuckerberg: From Gutenberg to Zuckerberg: What you really need to know What you really need to know
about the Internetabout the Internet“We’re in the midst of a major upheaval in our information environment, and none of us has any real idea of where it will end up. So we need to put it into perspective. As it happens, Johannes Gutenberg triggered a comparable revolution five and a half centuries ago when he introduced printing by moveable type. His invention shaped the world into which we the Internet was born. What can we learn from that experience?” (Naughton, 2011)

MOOC meltdownsMOOC meltdowns‘Charles Severance ran into the language barrier in week two of his seven-week course. After 45,000 people signed up, 23,000 actually logged in when the course began in June. By the end of the first week and the first quiz, 11,000 had stuck around. Not the kind of retention rate Severance was accustomed to at Michigan, but par for the course in a MOOC.
That’s when Severance made what was, in retrospect, a tactical error. “I wanted to try the peer assessment as fast as possible,” he says. So he assigned a short essay -- 400 words or so...that’s when things started to go awry.
“Probably a third of the students do not have English as a primary language,” says Severance. “A problem I have never had before is … suddenly I’ve got people in 15 languages. I’m trying to be subtle and draw out some insight, [and] they want something they can really translate and understand.”
After that assignment, the active enrollment in his course dropped to 6,000.’ (Kolowich, 2012)

“There will also be future implications for embedding OER practice by using OER/ OCW as a channel for promoting institutional research outputs. The promotion of institutional research, in the light of the Finch (2012) report ‘Accessibility, sustainability, excellence: how to expand access to research publications’ as part of the new UK government research funding mechanism and the changes to research outputs being more open from 2014 should be a driver for expansion of OER.” (HEA, 2013)
