A Moonshot for Bloom’s 2 Sigma Challenge

Bloom’s 2 Sigma Challenge
Bloom, 1984
CC BY
One-to-One Tutoring
And other methods compared to 30 students in the classroom
CC BY
Average Tutored Student by 2 SD
In other words, the average student is capable of much more
CC BY
Tutoring is Expensive
So we teach class instead!
CC BY
Bloom, 1984
If the research on the 2 sigma problem yields practiced methods (methods that the average teacher or school faculty can learn in a brief period of time and use with little more cost or time than conventional instruction), it would be an educational contribution of the greatest magnitude. (p. 5)
CC BY
To Tutor Or Not to Tutor?
That is the (false) question
CC BY
“Strategic Tutoring”
What if we could do just-in-time, just-on-topic, one-on-one tutoring?
CC BY
Obs. 1 - Requires Great Insight
We’d have to know who needs help, when, and what they need help with
CC BY
Obs. 2 - Requires Great Curriculum
The more the student can learn from the materials, the less tutoring is required
CC BY
Obs. 3 - Data Is the Key
You’d need live, fine-grained data about student, assessment, and curriculum
performance
CC BY
Simultaneous Continuous Improvement
Working in a way that constantly improves both student learning and the curriculum

OHSU Teaching Model
Create and aggregate great curriculum, let it do as much instructing as possible,
follow-up with “strategic tutoring”
CC BY
How Do You Improve Curriculum?
Performance data alone aren’t sufficient –you need permission
CC BY
Open Educational Resources
Give OHSU the permissions it needs to engage in continuous improvement
CC BY
OHSU Charter Requires OER
Founders’ way of “burning the ships”

Watch Out Bloom, Here We Come!
OHSU is only a few weeks but the model is already proving terrifically effective

Lots of Research to be Done
We would love more research partners!

The Briefest Possible Introduction
From slow, expensive copies to fast, inexpensive copies
The Gutenberg Difference
From fast, inexpensive copies to instantaneous, free copies
The Internet Difference
education blesses people’s lives,and
we can make instant, free copies of materials,then
what kind of ethical obligation do we have?
If...
Just because you can copy doesn’t mean you’re allowed to
Small (c) Problems
Hacking (c) to leverage the nonrivalrous nature of digital educational materials
Open Educational Resources
Providing users a collection of rights called “the four R’s” - for free
Open, adj.
Reuse - verbatim copies
Redistribute - share copies
Revise - make adaptations
Remix - combinations / mashups
The 4Rs
Communicate 4R Permissions
Since this overrides default copyright,only a copyright license can grant
Offers easy to use 4Rs licenses
Check the “Copyright Statement” or “Terms of Use”! Without a CC license
you will (likely) not have 4R permissions.
Free = Open
