  • I am a sprinter not a long distance runner ( not only in exercise but in most things). When sprinting I do a lot of thing very quickly or get them done and then rest. This is in contrast to a more methodical slow paced but progressive long distance run.

      Great way to look at it! I am a lot like this too, but never thought of it this way. Thanks for helping me understand myself better!
  • Originally I tried to make my course more to my preferences.

      I struggled with this too. I have to keep reminding myself that what works for me may not work for everyone.

  • Subjectively, we feel this acceleration of time, we grew up in a slower paced world and it was easier for us to adapt to change. Today we are bombarded with information, products, events and it’s sometimes hard to keep up. It may be easier for some, harder for others

      "You can't teach an old dog new tricks?" I don't know that I've ever fully believed that. I think its more along the lines of old dogs don't necessarily want to learn new tricks.
  • Think about the news, communications and mass media. Since the internet became mainstream the way information is shared has changed radically. News one day old is already OLD. News is being produced in real time; worldwide communications are in real time too. Even more, there is more news everywhere. And it’s not that some years ago nothing happened. It’s that it’s become easier to broadcast them, allowing us to dramatically increase the information that can be distributed to the world.

      Prior to the world being so "wired", most people didn't even know who the pope was.
  • The younger generations have a less daunting task, mainly because they were raised in this wired/online world. They are accustomed to it.

      I feel like as a 30 year old, I fall between the older generations and younger ones. There was no computer at my mother's house until my senior year of high school and I didnt have a cell phone until my third year in college.

  • Principle 5: Good Practice Emphasizes Time on Task Lesson for online instruction: Online courses need deadlines. One course we evaluated allowed students to work at their own pace throughout the semester, without intermediate deadlines. The rationale was that many students needed flexibility because of full-time jobs. However, regularly-distributed deadlines encourage students to spend time on tasks and help students with busy schedules avoid procrastination. They also provide a context for regular contact with the instructor and peers.
