13 From Teaching to Learning. Barr & Tagg, 1995 http://www.ius.edu/ilte/pdf/BarrTagg.pdf A paradigm shift is taking hold in American higher education. In its briefest form, the paradigm that has governed our colleges is this: A college is an institution that exists to provide instruction. Subtly but profoundly we are shifting to a new paradigm: A college is an institution that exists to produce learning. This shift changes everything. It is both needed and wanted.

14 From Teaching to Learning. Barr & Tagg, 1995 To say that the purpose of colleges is to provide instruction is like saying that General Motors' business is to operate assembly lines or that the purpose of medical care is to fill hospital beds. We now see that our mission is not instruction but rather that of producing learning with every student by whatever means work best.

23 From Teaching to Learning. Barr & Tagg, 1995 In the Instruction Paradigm, faculty are conceived primarily as disciplinary experts who impart knowledge by lecturing. They are the essential feature of the instructional delivery system. The Learning Paradigm, on the other hand, conceives of faculty as primarily the designers of learning environments; they study and apply best methods for producing learning and student success.

29 Are MOOCs the end of the community college? Did home taping kill music? Did free software kill the software industry? Does creating a thirst for and enjoyment of learning create less of a demand for college? Does the act of opening ourselves to change create less or more opportunity? The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them. -Albert Einstein

30 MOOCs for the Community Colleges? Alternative Pathway for Basic Skills Pre-Assessment Activity 6 week grammar review within semester for students in writing intensive classes (English, history, philosophy, etc.) and beyond. Summer Bridge curriculum (cf. Cal State remediation) Your thoughts??
