<h3>Subject<a class="headerlink" href="#subject" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>Self-Directed Learning with Online Resources.</p>
<p>Challenges, opportunities,
and strategies for learning online by reviewing implementations of and
empirical research regarding online-based instruction.</p>
<p>According to the Fact Sheet accompanying the President’s Council of
Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) February 2012 report entitled
<em>Engage to Excel: Producing One Million Additional College Graduates With
Degrees in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics</em>:</p>
<blockquote>
<div>Fewer than 40 percent of students who enter college intending to major
in a STEM field complete college with a STEM degree today.</div></blockquote>
<p>The PCAST STEM Report proposes four policy recommendations for
increasing the retention rate and thereby producing one million
additional college graduates with degrees in STEM fields.</p>
<blockquote>
<div><ol class="arabic simple">
<li>catalyze widespread adoption of empirically validated teaching practices;</li>
<li>advocate and provide support for replacing standard laboratory courses
with discovery-based research courses;</li>
<li>launch a national experiment in postsecondary mathematics education
to address the mathematics-preparation gap;</li>
<li>encourage partnerships among stakeholders to diversify pathways to
STEM careers; and</li>
<li>create a Presidential Council on STEM Education with leadership from the
academic and business communities to provide strategic leadership for
transformative and sustainable change in STEM undergraduate education.</li>
</ol>
</div></blockquote>
<p>The report would address how students can (1) learn using empirically
validated teaching practices from (2) discovery-based online resources
in order to (3) transform themselves into foward-thinking,
mathematically capable (4) stakeholders in their community.</p>

<h3>Challenges<a class="headerlink" href="#challenges" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>With self-directed learning, the relation between student and instructor
may be less defined. Self-motivated learning and exploration require
students to assume some of the roles that a formalized instructor
fulfills.</p>
<p>It may be difficult to address our Prussian tendencies in relation to
both creativity and the achievement gap.</p>
