Visual learning technology is going to get increasingly important. So much of what scientists do now is modeling, which requires smart interfaces and lots of hands-on work. Let’s see more doing and less reading about doing. The rise of maker-spaces give some credence to this.
It’s hard to build curricula for technology courses because it changes so rapidly. There are hundreds of great articles and how-to’s published online every day. We have to devise new systems around new tools to help students navigate this dynamic realm.
Relies heavily on math, so let’s make sure that students have the remediation they need, and more importantly—when they need it. Let’s get away from the idea that your course materials consist of a single Statics and Dynamics textbook. The course content should be wrapped in a layer of just-in-time mathematics support.
While neither the content nor the teaching methods have changed very much over the past 100 years, the tools have certainly changed. Thank goodness, because mathematics education is the cornerstone of the entire building. We know where students need support, so let’s start giving it to them. The “textbook” concept is way overdue for an overhaul.
