  • According to Blackmore, today's brains are shaped by various information streams -- sometimes referred to as memes -- constantly popping and sparking and competing for attention. This new generation of digital learners -- call them the MEdia Generation -- take in the world via the filter of computing devices: the cellular phones, handheld gaming devices, PDAs, and laptops they take everywhere, plus the computers, TVs, and game consoles at home
  • Educators must figure out how to compete with this frenetic memestorm coming at them from marketers and other students

    This is the second in a series of three papers about online pedagogy and educational practice as part of the JISE "Online Education Forma." This paper deals with the question: How is teaching online different from conventional teaching? By comparing these differences along several dimensions, a set of recommended practices for online teaching emerges. This article examines issues such as online course organization and planning, teaching guidelines and constraints, relationships between students and teacher, lectures versus tutorials, and assessment of student performance. A transition is underway. The same networking and computing technology that has revolutionised global commerce, and many other facets of modem life, is now being targeted at education. Partnering the Internet with modern course management systems makes it possible for universities to offer online courscwork on a global basis. The critical task that lies ahead is to create and disseminate curricula of high quality online that students can embrace and educators can sustain. The overall objective of JISE's Online Education Forum is to examine the realities of college and university online teaching, and the processes of education using today's information technologies. The issues and insights discussed in this forum will provide educators with important tools and the understanding needed to embrace the world of online education.

  • communicate with your students, right from the start, what will be required of them as an online learner
  • encourage students to seek help when they don't understand something about how the course is facilitated or course content
  • Guest presenters The advantage of the online learning means that guest presenters can be located anywhere throughout the world. This potentially increasing their availability, flexibility and quality.

  • Blogs There are numerous ways to integrate blogs into an online course. For example, recording a learning experience over a period of time. Students can also review and compare other students' blogs and draw their own conclusions about particular topics.
  • Non - computer based activities Just because an online course is online does not necessarily mean that all learning has to occur in front of the computer screen. Activities can be developed that require students to engage in the physical environment.

    Basori, Tenrieawaru, and Mansur (2011) describe virtual humans in a virtual environment as an interface that can "make harmonious relationships between the human and the computer" (p.115). This is why they are interested in creating facial expressions, voice intonation, and hand gestures to express complex human emotion.

      Like this option as some students tend to mix up rules when different problems are placed together. This will emphasize paying attention to details of the questions and having the students ask them self how to approach the problem.

  • Enter your answer using the keyboard. Press the 'x' key, and the computer will recognize that you now wish to enter the exponent of a number in scientific format. If you make a mistake, you can correct it using the backspace key.

  • Although it is just one degree at one university, the prospect of a prestigious low-cost degree program has generated great interest. Some educators think the leap from individual noncredit courses to full degree programs could signal the next phase in the evolution of MOOCs — and bring real change to higher education.
  • Hedy Lowenheim on 18 Aug 13
     
    The affordable price for this online master's degree in computer science from a very reputable institution is refreshing to see. If the program is successful hopefully it will lead to others like it. The program will be MOOC-based.

  • When asked for evidence of the schools’ effectiveness, the Association of Waldorf Schools of North America points to research by an affiliated group showing that 94 percent of students graduating from Waldorf high schools in the United States between 1994 and 2004 attended college, with many heading to prestigious institutions like Oberlin, Berkeley and Vassar.

  • knowledge is arranged in networks with meaningful connections between nodes.
  • hared cognition is built upon the individual inputs in the collaborative process. Representing their cognitive structures and negotiating about the meaning of concepts, individuals reach a common vision on the problem.
  • Shared cognition at the same is the way a group contributes to "personal meaning" at the level of individual students
  • shared cognition is substantial for cognitive construction and reconstruction and that concept mapping is an effective tool for mediating computer-supported collaboration
  • orm in which knowledge is shared strongly influences the process of shaping, and shared cognition subsequently influences the effectiveness of collaborative learning

DO ONLINE STUDENTS DREAM OF ELECTRIC TEACHERS? - 0 views

  • However, few would deny that there is a strong probability that the distancing effect of computer-mediated asynchronous learning will cause many instructors and students to view one another more like extensions of the machines through which they are communicating than as real persons with emotions, aspirations, problems, time constraints and (in the case of most faculty) the very real need for sleep. As overworked online instructors turn to labor-saving shortcuts, such as computer software that can actually grade papers, and are compelled by the financial exigencies of higher education to increase their class sizes to unmanageable proportions, the problem of distancing is becoming increasingly serious [1].
