Describes affects of rubrics on students learning outcomes and student/teachers attitudes. Both were reported to favor the use of rubrics.

-
This site discusses the effects of color on emotions and how we link colors to emotions. For example red is often linked to anger while green creates a calming effect because of it resemblence to nature. This site has several pages discussing different principles, such as how businesses use certain colors to encourage purchases. Also, how certain colors in food make you want to eat more , etc. Within each page are articles that cover the different principles and theorys. Overall this site is well organized and easy to follow while containing a great deal of information.

Module 4 assignment This seems to be a pretty good reference site for color theory and how color effects users.

kevin: how will you use/incorporate this resource into your online course? where will it go, in which module? how will you direct students to use it?
-
It will go in the Using Color to Tell a Story section and be a reference to show how color can be used affect peoples emotions.

ok. i see your annotation, but the tags are not right. You have to put tags that are multiple words in parenthesis, otherwise each word comes out as a separate tag. "module 4 assignment" vs. module. 4. assignment.

Fixed the tag issue.

Making Sense of MOOCs: Musings in a Maze of Myth, Paradox and Possibility | Daniel | Jo... - 0 views
-
The first course carrying the name MOOC was offered in 2008, so this is new phenomenon. Second, the pedagogical style of the early courses, which we shall call cMOOCs, was based on a philosophy of connectivism and networking. This is quite distinct from the xMOOCs now being developed by elite US institutions that follow a more behaviourist approach. Third, the few academic studies of MOOCs are about the earlier offerings because there has been no time for systematic research on the crop of 2012 xMOOCs. Analysis of the latter has to be based on a large volume of press articles and blogs. Fourth, commentary on MOOCs includes thinly disguised promotional material by commercial interests (e.g. Koller, 2012) and articles by practitioners whose perspective is their own MOOC courses.
-
The term MOOC originated in Canada. Dave Cormier and Bryan Alexander coined the acronym to describe an open online course at the University of Manitoba designed by George Siemens and Stephen Downes. The course, Connectivism and Connective Knowledge, was presented to 25 fee-paying students on campus and 2,300 other students from the general public who took the online class free of charge (Wikipedia, 2012a).

Searching or "Googling" - Search engines are now key elements of students' research. At its simplest the student is just entering a key word or phrase into the basic entry pane of the search engine. This skill does not refine the search beyond the key word or term.

Social bookmarking – this is an online version of local bookmarking or favorites, It is more advanced because you can draw on others' bookmarks and tags. While higher order thinking skills like collaborating and sharing, can and do make use of these skills, this is its simplest form - a simple list of sites saved to an online format rather than locally to the machine.
-
Playing – The increasing emergence of games as a mode of education leads to the inclusion of this term in the list. Students who successfully play or operate a game are showing understanding of process and task and application of skills.

To meet the challenge of decision making in client care, the nurse needs a comprehensive data base - gathering data is a prerequisite for problem solving and individualized interventions. Assessment is now a critical part of every nurse's practice, as all nursing decisions and actions are based on initial and ongoing assessments. Therefore it is extremely important for nursing students to develop excellent assessment skills. This blended course is designed to develop the cognitive processes and psychomotor skills necessary for conducting health assessments of healthy individuals. In other words, students learn how to gather data, what data to gather and what to do with the data once is has been gathered. Nursing students must understand what the expected assessment findings are for each system, before they can recognize any abnormalities that might be seen in clinical courses. To this extent, the students must complete the online theory portion of each unit prior to attending and practicing the skills on each other in the onsite lab component. This course prepares beginning practitioners to complete a health history as well as a head-to-toe physical assessment. These skills are essential for successful clinical practice.

Critical Inquiry in a Text-Based Environment: Computer Conferencing in Higher Education - 0 views
-
The purpose of this study is to provide conceptual order and a tool for the use of computer-mediated communication (CMC) and computer conferencing in supporting an educational experience. Central to the study introduced here is a model of community inquiry that constitutes three elements essential to an educational transaction-cognitive presence, social presence, and teaching presence. Indicators (key words/phrases) for each of the three elements emerged from the analysis of computer-conferencing transcripts. The indicators described represent a template or tool for researchers to analyze written transcripts, as well as a guide to educators for the optimal use of computer conferencing as a medium to facilitate an educational transaction. This research would suggest that computer conferencing has considerable potential to create a community of inquiry for educational purposes
Teachers Learning Technology by Design - 1 views

"We have argued elsewhere (Mishra & Koehler, 2003) that these standards only answer part of the question regarding technology inte- gration. In other words, though these standards tell us what teachers need to know, they often do not tell us how they are supposed to learn it. Most scholars working in this area agree that traditional methods of technology training for teachers--mainly workshops and courses-are ill-suited to produce the "deep understanding" that can assist teachers in becoming intelligent users of technology for pedagogy"

Above all, it’s the emotions elicited by teaching that make it such a powerful vehicle for learning. Student tutors feel chagrin when their virtual pupils fail; when the characters succeed, they feel what one expert calls by the Yiddish term nachas. Don’t know that word? I had to learn it myself: “Pride and satisfaction that is derived from someone else’s accomplishment.”

On a subsequent test of their skills, the students who had observed agents using rules of reasoning to solve a problem “significantly outperformed” students who had only practiced applying the rules themselves.

Metacognition: An Overview - 1 views
-
Metacognitive experiences involve the use of metacognitive strategies or metacognitive regulation (Brown, 1987). Metacognitive strategies are sequential processes that one uses to control cognitive activities, and to ensure that a cognitive goal (e.g., understanding a text) has been met. These processes help to regulate and oversee learning, and consist of planning and monitoring cognitive activities, as well as checking the outcomes of those activities.
-
Self-questioning is a common metacognitive comprehension monitoring strategy. If she finds that she cannot answer her own questions, or that she does not understand the material discussed, she must then determine what needs to be done to ensure that she meets the cognitive goal of understanding the text.
-
Knowledge is considered to be metacognitive if it is actively used in a strategic manner to ensure that a goal is met. For example, a student may use knowledge in planning how to approach a math exam: "I know that I (person variable) have difficulty with word problems (task variable), so I will answer the computational problems first and save the word problems for last (strategy variable)." Simply possessing knowledge about one's cognitive strengths or weaknesses and the nature of the task without actively utilizing this information to oversee learning is not metacognitive.
