The first deals with understanding the mechanisms behind anxiety 鈥 what it is and some strategies on how to manage it. The second looks at ways of crowding out stressors and sources of anxiety by offering tips and advice on how to mentally distract yourself. The third section focuses on the effects of isolation, with strategies on how to make it more tolerable and advice on how to stay socially connected during physical distancing. &nbsp;</p> <p>Joordens says important mental health tips covered in the course include limiting the amount of news we consume. While it鈥檚 important to stay informed, constantly watching the news can feed anxiety.</p> <p>He says finding positive ways of filling the day can offer a good mental distraction, whether it鈥檚 laughing or singing, exercising, learning or practicing a skill&nbsp;or socially connecting with others through technology. Keeping to a regular schedule through a healthy diet, exercise and sleep are also key to helping us manage our mental health and shouldn鈥檛 be ignored, he adds.</p> <p>In the course, Joordens also goes over something called 鈥済uided relaxation,鈥 which are techniques that can help people relax their body so they can better manage anxiety.</p> <p>鈥淩esearch has shown that constant stress and anxiety can wear down our immune systems, and the last thing we probably need at the moment is a weakened immune system,鈥 Joordens notes.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>There鈥檚 also a section at the end of the course on the importance of being aware about depression.</p> <p>鈥淲hat鈥檚 really dangerous is when anxiety morphs into depression. Throughout the course there are reminders to be aware about feeling a sense of helplessness, and to make sure you are finding ways of having control in your life because control is key,鈥 he says.</p> <p>Joordens, who is an expert on educational technologies, notes the course has flexible deadlines&nbsp;so anyone can pick it up at their convenience, and it can be completed in about 10 hours.</p> <p>He says one big takeaway when it comes to managing your mental health during the pandemic is for people to try to achieve a sense of accomplishment. Whether it鈥檚 learning a new skill, honing an existing one or by upgrading credentials, he says there are countless online platforms people can use.</p> <p>鈥淔illing your day with a positive routine or ritual is a really great mental distraction,鈥 he says.</p> <p>鈥淵ou also get to join an online community of learners that share a common interest. It can be a kind of replacement for some of the social interactions we're losing at the moment.鈥</p> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-home-page-banner field--type-boolean field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">News home page banner</div> <div class="field__item">Off</div> </div> Thu, 02 Apr 2020 19:47:42 +0000 Christopher.Sorensen 163919 at Understanding MOOCs: online learners around the world head to U of T /news/understanding-moocs-online-learners-around-world-head-u-t <span class="field field--name-title field--type-string field--label-hidden">Understanding MOOCs: online learners around the world head to U of T</span> <span class="field field--name-uid field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden"><span>sgupta</span></span> <span class="field field--name-created field--type-created field--label-hidden"><time datetime="2014-04-07T06:47:17-04:00" title="Monday, April 7, 2014 - 06:47" class="datetime">Mon, 04/07/2014 - 06:47</time> </span> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-field-cutline-long field--type-text-long field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Cutline</div> <div class="field__item">(photo by Ken Jones courtesy University of Toronto Scarborough)</div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-author-reporters field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news/authors-reporters/brendan-glauser" hreflang="en">Brendan Glauser</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-author-legacy field--type-string field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Author legacy</div> <div class="field__item">Brendan Glauser </div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-topic field--type-entity-reference field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Topic</div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news/topics/global-lens" hreflang="en">Global Lens</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-story-tags field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news/tags/features" hreflang="en">Features</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news/tags/mooc" hreflang="en">MOOC</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news/tags/education" hreflang="en">Education</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news/tags/coursera" hreflang="en">Coursera</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news/tags/global" hreflang="en">Global</a></div> </div> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p><em>Massive Open Online Courses (or MOOCs) are becoming increasingly prevalent on campuses across the country and throughout the world. </em></p> <p><em>Issues around online learning are receiving unprecedented media attention, and universities of all sizes are beginning to explore the potential of MOOCs, raising questions around the future of online learning as we know it.</em></p> <p><em>At the University of Toronto, more than 740,000 users worldwide have registered for a MOOC. When surveyed, about 80 per cent of respondents indicated that they took the course simply for enjoyment, while 30 per cent were seeking credentials for their CV. </em></p> <p><em><strong>Laurie Harrison</strong>, U of T鈥檚 director of online learning strategies, shares insights into how this major Canadian university is integrating MOOCs into its academic offering.</em></p> <p><strong>Let鈥檚 begin by defining our subject. What do MOOCs mean to the University of Toronto?</strong></p> <p>When we began developing our first MOOCs, in addition to wanting to explore, evaluate and conduct research, we also wanted to open up and contribute to the online education community 鈥 sharing offerings from some of our great faculty members as part of our Open UToronto initiative. We never intended that our MOOCs would replace our degree offering, and we have not pursued the monetization of our MOOCs. That said, some materials developed for online learning are repurposed on campus.</p> <p>We work with two different online learning partners 鈥 we began working with Coursera in July 2012 and edX in February 2013. We are one of just a few institutions who have partnered with both platforms. We did this intentionally because we wanted to explore them both and the pedagogies they enable. We have 13 MOOCs in various stages 鈥 some in development, some currently being offered and others that have already been offered.</p> <p><strong>What are the benefits you hope to gain through MOOCs?</strong></p> <p>For one, MOOCs provide a means of engaging our faculty, creating a community of practice focused on online course design, and the kinds of dialogues we are able to have with faculty and other leaders within the institution around the intersection of learning and technology. This isn鈥檛 to say online course design is new, but online learning at this scale is. Secondly, faculty members are often used to working independently, but the scope of these projects tends to involve educational, technical, resource and library staff 鈥 which creates an interesting team model. Third, developing the research and analytics component of MOOCs has also allowed us to ramp up our ability to work with big data.</p> <p><strong>What are some of the challenges you鈥檝e encountered so far?</strong></p> <p>The most important challenge for us is around course design. We have developed a workshop model where we guide instructors through the process of determining their goals, as well as the skills, knowledge and attitudes they want their learners to develop. Then, based on what they identify, they are able to map out activities that will help them achieve their goals. We have found that, often, there is a limited awareness of the variety of activities you might undertake in a MOOC. Often, instructors consider just video quizzes or online multiple-choice tests. But our instructors identified a variety of goals, involving social interaction, engaging students, creating discussions, peer assessments and personalized assignments. As a result, we鈥檝e become very creative with the types of activities we offer.</p> <p>One major concern around MOOCs is that the quality and legitimacy of university degrees may be jeopardized, if universities begin giving degrees based on MOOC credits. How do you respond to that?</p> <p>Our goals do not include granting credits or degrees to those who have completed our MOOCs. We want to provide high-quality MOOCs that support learning, and we do that by focusing on the design phase.</p> <p>Much of the common perception of MOOCs is that people want to take them as an alternative to a degree course to get credit. But, from what we鈥檝e observed, a lot of them just want to learn or connect with others in a particular community. So, not all of our MOOCs are based on existing courses, and you have to look at the goals of your instructors and learners to gauge success.</p> <p><strong>How do you think the future of MOOCs will look?</strong></p> <p>MOOCs have put the intersection of technology and learning at centre stage. The attention it garnered through the media put it at the foreground, but lots of institutions were already having meaningful conversations around understanding the role and potential of online learning.</p> <p>If you consider a typical hype cycle, I think we鈥檙e past the peak of the hype cycle now, and maybe even passed through the low point 鈥 the criticism. If you look at the phase of integration, what aspects are scalable and useful, and can fit into the needs of institutions, research programs, outreach programs, reaching people who might otherwise not have access to learning 鈥 the potential is huge. The media often focuses on the negative, but that鈥檚 not the conversation happening with folks working in the world of online learning. We see this as one dimension of long path of exploring and developing strategies for online learning.</p> <p>We鈥檒l be hosting a MOOC research symposium on April 28, with five presentations from various researchers from within the 鈥淢OOCosphere鈥 as we call it. This aligns with our research mandate and various aspects of our mission.</p> <p>MOOCs are excellent enablers of collaboration. No one stakeholder who can carry a MOOC. You need to think about your goals, and that includes the goals of your instructors, program, institution and learners. And as we know, this isn鈥檛 unique to MOOCs. What you learn through MOOCs is certainly transferable.</p> <p><a href="http://www.ocw.utoronto.ca/open-utoronto-mooc-initiative/">Read a full report</a> on the first year of MOOC activity at U of T.</p> <p>To see U of T鈥檚 full MOOCs offering, <a href="http://www.ocw.utoronto.ca/coursera/">visit Coursera</a> or<a href="http://www.ocw.utoronto.ca/edx/"> visit edX</a>.</p> <p><a href="http://www.teaching.utoronto.ca/about_ctsi/servicesexpertise/ctsi-workshops/MOOCSymposium.htm">Register for a research symposium</a> on MOOCs April 28, 2014.</p> <p><em>Brendan Glauser is a writer with&nbsp;<a href="http://cuccio.net/news/index.php">CUCCIO Quarterly e-Newsletter</a>&nbsp;where this article originally appeared.</em></p> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-home-page-banner field--type-boolean field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">News home page banner</div> <div class="field__item">Off</div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-picpath field--type-string field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">picpath</div> <div class="field__item">sites/default/files/2014-04-07-moocs.jpg</div> </div> Mon, 07 Apr 2014 10:47:17 +0000 sgupta 6010 at Google acquires 福利姬自慰neural networks company /news/google-acquires-u-t-neural-networks-company <span class="field field--name-title field--type-string field--label-hidden">Google acquires 福利姬自慰neural networks company</span> <span class="field field--name-uid field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden"><span>sgupta</span></span> <span class="field field--name-created field--type-created field--label-hidden"><time datetime="2013-03-12T15:10:42-04:00" title="Tuesday, March 12, 2013 - 15:10" class="datetime">Tue, 03/12/2013 - 15:10</time> </span> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-field-cutline-long field--type-text-long field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Cutline</div> <div class="field__item"> Ilya Sutskever, Alex Krizhevsky and University Professor Geoffrey Hinton of the University of Toronto's Department of Computer Science (photo by John Guatto)</div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-author-reporters field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news/authors-reporters/sara-franca" hreflang="en">Sara Franca</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-author-legacy field--type-string field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Author legacy</div> <div class="field__item">Sara Franca</div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-topic field--type-entity-reference field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Topic</div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news/topics/breaking-research" hreflang="en">Breaking Research</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-story-tags field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news/tags/top-stories" hreflang="en">Top Stories</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news/tags/entrepreneur" hreflang="en">Entrepreneur</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news/tags/teaching" hreflang="en">Teaching</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news/tags/mooc" hreflang="en">MOOC</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news/tags/entrepreneurship" hreflang="en">Entrepreneurship</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news/tags/coursera" hreflang="en">Coursera</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news/tags/computer-science" hreflang="en">Computer Science</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news/tags/commercialization" hreflang="en">Commercialization</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news/tags/faculty-arts-science" hreflang="en">Faculty of Arts &amp; Science</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news/tags/research" hreflang="en">Research</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news/tags/global" hreflang="en">Global</a></div> </div> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p>University Professor <strong>Geoffrey Hinton</strong> and two of his graduate students from the Department of Computer Science have sold their startup company to Google Inc.</p> <p>Google acquired the company, incorporated by <strong>Alex Krizhevsky</strong>, <strong>Ilya Sutskever</strong> and Hinton in 2012, for its research on deep neural networks.
