It is through design that teachers set the stage for a community of inquiry, but it is through the facilitation and experience with that design that the community is actually established.

imagine the design as being the outline of a painting. As the community is established and evolves its members fill the outline with color. Together they create a picture of learning. The more active and engaged the participants, the more the picture will evolve. Ultimately, my goal is for the community to paint a picture with detail, depth, subtlety, and nuance. I want my students to take the picture with them after the course and bring it into a new community and continue to share and develop it. In turn, I will take the picture I am left with at the end of the course and look for pieces where my design succeeded in encouraging color with detail, depth, subtlety and nuance as well as pieces that maybe weren’t colored in as much or as well. I will adapt my design based on the influence of the community in an attempt to maximize its potential to create a high quality picture of learning.

ETAP640amp2012: How am I doing it in this course? And how are you doing it? - 0 views
-
In a case study examining asynchronous audio and text-based feedback in class of students, Ice, Curtis, Wells and Phillips (2007), found a higher level of satisfaction with asynchronous audio feedback among students in the study. In our class, I appreciate the audio feedback that Alex provides for both groups and me individually. It helps to clarify things, allows me to continuously review the material, see my mistakes and make my improvements. My hope is to be able to learn to do this and include as part of my course.

Are there things that Moodle (or even Angel, per the courses for observation) can do that don’t replicate this structure?
-
part of the problem is that the LMS imposes a pedagogy. They have embedded into their DNA a teacher-centric cultrure-specific pedagogy. just look at how they label things... you can't get any more teacher-centered that referring to things as "lessons!" Fortunately in ANGEL at least you can change that... not so in BB. i chaffe under that imposition. This imposed pedagogy is largely due, in my opinion, to the fact that it is application developers, not instructional designers, that developed the LMS. We are stuck having to use tools that are inadequate for the purposes to which we must apply them. They are NOT flexible, they do NOT allow for creativity and innovation. It is a constant fight/struggle to work around their limitations and constraints to get them to DO what you want need them to do. I hate all LMSs equally.

Reiss doesn’t believe that all children are or should be curious and that curiosity doesn’t always motivate student learning.

developing the course isn’t enough, classroom management is required throughout the course, especially for students who drop in and out.

Notes to Self - The evolution of understanding - 0 views
-
As the days go on, I realize that my understanding of what it takes to be a successful online learner and teacher is changing.
-
I find that I am quickly falling back into old (and excellent) habits of being a student. While it’s overwhelming, I do love it. I’ve also observed that since the last time I was a student, much has changed. Yes, in terms of technology and pedagogy, but I’m referring to me personally. I’m a little older, a little wiser, much more settled in terms of my personal life and career, and overall just a much happier person than I was 7 years ago.

Just some of Kelly's thoughts - 0 views
-
As I work on finalizing my course one of the main things I will be thinking about is, do my modules and learning activities tell a story? Or do my modules and learning activities need to be rearranged so that their story makes more sense?
-
During this course I feel like I almost found myself as an instructor. I know that sounds a little strange but I feel like I now know who I am and what I am capable of. This course gave me, in some way, the confidence that I needed to be a better instructor to my students in a f2f setting.

Jing, screenshot and screencast software from TechSmith - 1 views

-
For the Moduel 4 assignment I explored and practiced using Jing. I know Alex has used it many times in our course. I will use it in the beginning of my course to help student get familiar with blackboard. Many of my students in previous semesters are unfamilar with blackboard. Having a screencast video can help them to feel comfortable with blackboard and help to resolve many questions that students will have right from the beginning.

Take Screenshots: Capture an image of what you see on your computer screen Record Screencasts: Record up to 5 minutes of onscreen video

Jing eliminates a lot of phone and email time

In previous semester I received several emails at the beginning of the course about how to use the online discussion boards, how to upload files, how to download article etc. Having a video screencast can allow students to watch step by step how to do all of these thing.

Dr. Seuss Went to War - 0 views

In Module 3 of my class on "The Politics of Dr. Seuss," we will be exploring the political cartoons that Dr. Seuss and others produced during World War 2. These cartoons mostly appeared in PM, a New York newspaper, from 1941 to 1943. I discovered these cartoons in a book called Dr. Seuss & Co. Go to War, and I had planned to scan and upload cartoons from the book. But I searched in MERLOT and was so pleased to find a treasure trove of hundreds of cartoons! I can draw on these for my Powerpoint presentation to the class and direct students to this website to find even more.

Multimedia Fair Use Guidelines (from Conference on Fair Use) - 0 views
-
Fair use is a legal principle that defines the limitations on the exclusive rights** of copyright holders. The purpose of these guidelines is to provide guidance on the application of fair use principles by educators, scholars and students who develop multimedia projects using portions of copyrighted works under fair use rather than by seeking authorization for non-commercial educational uses. I intend to use this as a resource for my section on fair use and intellectual property rights. My students will gather multimedia materials for their project, so they need to know how much they can take, and under what circumstances.

Teaching College Courses Online vs Face-to-Face -- THE Journal - 0 views
-
Students are sometimes aggressive and questioning of authority in ways not seen face-to-face
-
I wonder if Alex has ever been challenged in the online setting? Politely challenged or hostily?
-
both. it is difficult for some more than others when their beliefs are challenged. and change is not easy for anyone. And when one's identity is tied to one's beliefs it gets even more complex. i see all interactrions as an opportunity to learn for everyone involved. I have had angry hostile challenges from students in the past as well as polite challenges. I have also experienced misunderstandings in courses between students and with me. These are teachable moments in my view that provide opportunities for learning. My goal in situations when they arise is to understand, question, explain, and support. i have had students that could not believe that they could completely design a course before it was taught, or that they could teach a course without a lecture. I have had students get very angry about feedback i have given them in discussion. I have had students not believe it was possible for them to do what i asked them to do in the course. I have had students completely misconstrue a comment from me and a student completely misconstrue a review from a classmate. All of these situations challenged me. In one situation i ended up having a private video discussion with the student to clarify. In another, i ended up helping the student question and understand his need for control better, in yet another i was firm and consistent in my response focusing on the instruction rather than taking in personnally, and so on ... i am flexible, understanding, empathetic, and kind, as long as i feel the student is willing to work with me and at least try to meet me half way. I have no problem being direct and have clear boundaries about what is acceptable. I will not tolerate disrespect. And if someone (myself included) cannot even consider the possibility that they have something to learn, then my tolerance and empathy diminishes. significantly. : )

Scanning the room my assistants also saw students cruising Facebook, instant messaging, and texting their friends. The students were undoubtedly engaged, just not with me. “My teaching assistants consoled me by noting that students have learned that they can ‘get by’ without paying attention in their classes.”

Last spring I asked my students how many of them did not like school. Over half of them rose their hands. When I asked how many of them did not like learning, no hands were raised. And there’s the rub. We love learning. We hate school. What’s worse is that many of us hate school because we love learning

Some time ago we started taking our walls too seriously – not just the walls of our classrooms, but also the metaphorical walls that we have constructed around our ’subjects,’ ‘disciplines,’ and ‘courses.’ McLuhan’s statement about the bewildered child ….. still holds true in most classrooms today. The walls have become so prominent that they are even reflected in our language, so that today there is something called ‘the real world’ which is foreign and set apart from our schools

hi kelly - i am also interested to know where you are regarding our course and your course. these were the questions for this reflection period " After conducting your own course review of your own online course, where are you in terms of completion of your online course? How are you doing? What do you need to complete your online course? What have you learned so far about yourself during this process? What has been the most surprising thing you have learned so far? What thoughts do you have about moving from theory (social, cognitive and teaching presence) to practice (building it into your online course)?" Also, you have neglected to self assess based on the rubric.

If My Cat Can Compose, What's Your Excuse? - 0 views

Now, I know from personal experience that the thought of creating a musical composition can overwhelm a “purr”son. (Oops!) In the past, I have tried too hard and nothing musical ever developed. So, since Al is a relaxed and laid-back composer, I will follow his example and listen for musical ideas in the world around me.

Now after this mornings shower, I heard the annoying but rhythmic beat from my leaking bathroom faucet. In the kitchen, the whirring and pulsing sounds of the food blender were jazzy and invigorating. When turning on the TV, the first few notes that I heard became the beginning of a song. Fire engines and ambulance provided ALARMING possibilities. At last I was composing!!

This paragraph fits very nicely into a Unit I always did in the F2F environment in 6th grade called Found Sounds. This might tie nicely to a F2F experience the students could have with composing in the classroom as a precursor to composing in their Software program.

I have learned that interaction is essential to teaching and learnng. Learning is a social activity. I feel I have been brave enough to include a discussion forum in each module of my course. It was easy really to do. the questions I have posed are big questions-they are not lower level thinking questions. in order to elicit the rich content from my students in the discussion i need better instructions and to create that rubric-i will do.

Historical Reflection on Learning Theories and Instructional Design - 0 views
-
Employing my research and practical experience in the field of educational psychology, with a specialty in instructional design and technology, I would like to reflect on the theoretical foundations of instructional design. My purpose is to show the growth of the field through theories associated with learning psychology and educational technology. Both human psychology and technology are the main foundations for instructional psychology. Evaluation and assessment continue to be integral to the field but more in the form of tools. Included is my view of the field in reference to work I and my colleagues have done in what we label as a linking theory of instructional design. That is, linking learning theory directly with research findings and practice I argue that educators need to clearly propose and define their own theoretical foundations when engaging in the design of effective learning environments...
