I recall in my early SLN days trying to find out why faculty were being told to close past modules as they moved forward in the course

alexandra m. pickett on 24 Jul 14Not sure where this comes from linda, but it is not so. the exact opposite is true.

lkryder on 24 Jul 142004 - I am sure it has changed. It may have been the the SLN ID I was working and/or the classes I was taking. But I did see it more than a few times and it perplexed me. I definitely don't see it anymore so that is a good thing :-)

alexandra m. pickett on 24 Jul 14odd... i actually in the early days strongly recommended that faculty have all their modules open from the first day so that students could see the structure and flow of the course from the beginning and have the structure help them not only anticipate what was coming, but act as advanced organizers to help students understand the scope and approach to the content taken by the instructor. I also didn't want faculty to use it as an excuse to not complete the course before it went live : ) I keep the modules closed in ETAP640 and reveal them one at a time because i don't want to confuse and overwhelm students. But, i have always maintained that work in previous modules should remain open and accessible so that students can refer back to or continue conversations if they want to. If you close a module then students won't have access to their own content. I would have to be convinced that under some very specific circumstance that there would be a good reason to do that. : )

lkryder on 28 Jul 14I am in total agreement with you on that - I won't mention names or courses :-) But I think the message is out that they should all be open!! lkr

because my exploration was respected. This kind of supportive environment makes me – or any student I am sure – fearless

I can say that I think I am on a completely different level in my teaching and design work.
