  • I can now see that learning to transform my ideas and beliefs about learning IS GOING TO require a constant and steady flow of reflective inquiry.
    • alexandra m. pickett
       
      brilliant!! : )
    • Donna Angley
       
      Took me a while to realize it as well!

      I am curious, what do you mean logical? Is it possible that what is logical to one student, will be chaos for another?
  • There are still so many tools and technologies to learn!
    • Kimberly Barss
       
      I KNOW! It is so overwhelming at times. I just keep telling myself "it's all going to be worth it!" It is extremely comforting, however, to hear the experts in the field and those who have been doing this for a long time saying that they felt the same way when they first began.

  • Jun 21st,
  • I do not know all that there is to know about online learning
  • I need to move outside of comfort zone to make this course work!
  • I am able to read the discussion posts and announcements while I’m on the road, at work, exercising or shopping. I am able to stay connected to the course, and this has been a great help to my learning.
    • Donna Angley
       
      I'm a little jealous :-) I don't have internet on my phone, so I have to wait to be home to do any work at all. It must be nice to always have the option of connecting!
  • I still have so much learning to do
    • Donna Angley
       
      We all do...hopefully the learning never ends. I think of myself as one long work in progress.

  • post quality responses
    • Donna Angley
       
      This has proved to be one of the more difficult portions of this course. It takes me hours to create a quality post, but I do learn a lot in the process.
    • Diane Gusa
       
      Hi Kristen I too am grateful for the experiences, even though that cause me great frustration, because those have made me dig deeper...
  • teacher
    • alexandra m. pickett
       
      it is teaching presence not teacher presence. there is a big difference. : )
  • This course allows me to learn the theoretical underpinnings of learning and teaching online, but also allows me to apply what I have learned and “make the connection” to my professional life and to the greater world!
  • From this point on, I have made the decision to be strategic about the design and impact of my course on my faculty’s personal and professional lives.
  • for business
    • alexandra m. pickett
       
      it is a process : )
  • stay consistent with the structure
    • Donna Angley
       
      It's taken a while for me to realize this as well. I've since gone back and added consistency throughout my modules.

Instructional Immediacy and the Seven Principles: Strategies for Facilitating Online Co... - 0 views

  • One approach is research in the area of instructional immediacy.
  • Chickering and Gamson’s (1987) seminal work, Seven Principles of Good Practice in Undergraduate Education and its subsequent applications of instructional strategies used in web-based classe
  • The IHEP (2000) report, a sequel to the widely cited 1999 report that identified “gaps in the literature” of web-based learning, cited 24 benchmarks considered essential for ensuring quality and excellence in web-based courses
  • ...10 more annotations...
  • Ehrmann (1995) encouraged researchers to focus on (a) which teaching and learning strategies are best (regardless of technology used) for the specific content and audience, and (b) which technologies are best for supporting those strategies (p. 4).
  • he technology media, as Clark (1983) explained, are just “vehicles that deliver instruction but do not influence student achievement any more than the truck that delivers our groceries causes change in our nutrition” (p. 445).
  • While nonverbal immediacy is important, verbal immediacy may be more relevant to web-based instructional settings as the instructor is not physically apparent to provide nonverbal cues.
  • As students move through the different quadrants when learning a lesson, the teacher’s role changes from content expert (quadrants 1, 2) to facilitator and coach (quadrants 3, 4). The 4MAT cycle of learning centers on teaching to the learner where they are by considering their learning styles, left-right brain processing, and multiple intelligences (cf. Gardner 1999). The 4MAT model has been adapted to distance education by offering web-based educator training that mirrors the core principles of the 4MAT model.
  • immediacy training program
  • Faculty participating in such training increased their use of verbal immediacy behaviors by 42 percent and, consequently, experienced a 59 percent increase in student participation in class compared to those in the control group.
  • Immediacy also relates to course design, or how a teacher deliberately arranges a set of external events to support the (learner’s) internal learning process (Gagne? 1992).
  • The authors suggested programming the computer to issue personal greetings when a user logs on
  • students’ perception of increased interaction with the instructor occurred when they interacted with the course (regardless if they had direct contact with the instructor) on a consistent basis.

The Metaconstitutional Manifesto: A Bourgeois Vision of the Classless Society - 3 views

  • ccording to the author, "In the following pages I am going to argue that, mixed in with all the nonsense in his ideas, Marx did get two things right: First: To achieve an ideal society we must indeed move beyond capitalism. (Historical experience since Marx wrote, and a principled, systematic analysis of his ideas, however, indicate that the direction in which he proposed to move away from capitalism was profoundly incorrect.) Second: An ideal society will indeed be a classless one. (However it will not be achieved by liquidating the bourgeoisie by a revolutionary process, as Marx thought. Instead, it will be reached by elevating the proletariat into the bourgeoisie by a process of reform.)"

  • What Makes a Short Story
    • Donna Angley
       
      I like this "introduction" to what makes a short story. I did something very similar in my course, so I feel like I'm on the right track.
    • alexandra m. pickett
       
      how will you use this resource in your own online course donna?
    • Donna Angley
       
      I hadn't thought about a group project for my course; however, after reading about these students writing and publishing a short story, it got me thinking. I was originally going to have my students do a final paper comparing two stories. Then I decided I wanted to do something different and a bit more collaborative. After seeing this website, I started to think about a group project more seriously. Then I thought I'd like it to be a little more hand-on like this course, and so it has morphed into a final group project where they can decided to either write a short story or create a multi-media presentation of a short story we've read. This website got me thinking about the project from the students' perspective. Giving them the choice to write or use multi-media is a better idea and will get the creative juices flowing. It also puts them more in control of what they want to do creatively.
    • alexandra m. pickett
       
      brilliant!!! student perspective- student choice - control, creativity, innovation in student hands : ) !!!!
  • Silko, Leslie Marmon.
    • Donna Angley
       
      I am glad to see an American Indian writer included in the syllabus. I also included a story by Leslie Marmon Silko called "Lullaby."

  • Everyday Use Walker." I
    • Donna Angley
       
      I too included this story in my course. For those of you that might not know, Alice Walker is the author of "The Color Purple."
  • A Good Man is Hard To Find."
    • Donna Angley
       
      Again, I also included this particular story in my course. Flannery O'Connor has written many short stories, but this one is probably a "classic" within the genre.
  • Usage of Point of View
    • Donna Angley
       
      Point of view is the first thing a writer has to think about when preparing to write. Depending on the point of view, what is written and how it is written will be very different.
  • The Yellow Wallpaper."
    • Donna Angley
       
      This is an exaggerated account of the actual post pardom depression that the author suffered from after the birth of her daughter. Again, a classic short story that I have included in my course also under "point of view."
  • To Build a Fire Faulkner
    • Donna Angley
       
      I love that they too included this story. As you read it, you can't help but wonder how Jack London manages to keep describing his surroundings, which really don't change. He's a master.
  • Workshop
    • Donna Angley
       
      I like that there is a workshop component to this course, where it appears that students will go through the process of writing a short story. It also looks as if they might publish as well, or at least go through the process of publishing so that students can attempt to publish in the future.
  • Discussion of Getting Published in the Real World
    • Donna Angley
       
      Excellent resource for those students who are seriously looking at writing for a living.
  •  
    This class will focus on the craft of the short story, which we will explore through reading great short stories, writers speaking about writing, writing exercises and conducting workshops on original stories.

ETAP640amp2011: Peer evaluation- does it tell the whole story? - 0 views

  • Michael Sweet (1999), “The real value of the process [student evaluation] lies in the rationale behind the number.”
    • Donna Angley
       
      Just a few sentences elaborating on what Michael Sweet's research suggested would have helped support your assertion. Not every post can be researched for hours, but at the very least, my initial post will have many hours of research behind it. BTW, it took me several weeks to realize this; prior to that, I was getting very low scores as well. It's a learning process.

Facilitating management learning developing critical reflection through reflective tools. - 0 views

  •  
    The aim of this article is to explore how the practice of critical reflection within a management learning process can be facilitated through the application of reflective processes and tools. A distinction is drawn between reflection as a form of individual development (of, say, the reflective practitioner), and critical reflection as a route to collective action and a component of organizational learning and change.

Collaborative learning in asynchronous discussion groups: What about the impact on cogn... - 1 views

  •  
    Results of study using content analysis of online discussion groups confirm that interaction in the discussion is very task-oriented, stays task-oriented and reflects high phases in knowledge construction. Clear results can be presented about the impact of the amount of discussion activity on the nature and quality of the discussions and the phases of knowledge construction.

Meridian Article: Authentic Learning: A Practical Introduction & Guide for Implementation - 0 views

  • Learning is closely connected to the world beyond the walls of the classroom.
    • Maree Michaud-Sacks
       
      This is what I will be exploring in my online course. How can we use technology to connect classroom learning with real life practice.
  • Students produce a product that can be shared with an audience outside the classroom.
    • Maree Michaud-Sacks
       
      This idea relates to students using multimedia to present their experience. Being able to summarize and present what they learned is a good reflection, and is a product that can be shared outside the classroom.
  • Learning is student driven with teachers, parents, and outside experts all assisting/coaching in the learning process.
    • Maree Michaud-Sacks
       
      Even though authentic learning is student centered, instructor can still help guide learners by assisting and coaching when needed.
