Since oral learners often learn best in dialogue with others, create opportunities for dialogue to occur. This could be in the form of group projects outside of class or small group discussions in the classroom.

Oral learners also learn best when learning is connected to real events, people, and struggles of life instead of learning principles that are removed from actual people and struggles.

Last week 34 mathematicians issued a statement denouncing “a system in which commercial publishers make profits based on the free labor of mathematicians and subscription fees from their institutions’ libraries, for a service that has become largely unnecessary.”

For 2010, Elsevier reported a 36 percent profit on revenues of $3.2 billion

What we’re using now to facilitate the delivery of electronic content is broken. The current methods are very ex

e’re broke: How many of you have indoor basketball courts in your library? Overdrive does. 300% is as bad as it’s gonna get: It’s going to get worse before it gets better. It has to be so bad that the public starts to roar. If gas prices went up 300% there would be riots in the street The publishers are forcing us to prevent you from owning these. Sarah has talked to the publishers – they actually don’t care.

Overall, UW-Madison libraries spent a total of $6,541,217 on 64,421 serials (periodicals such as paper and electronic journals, magazines and newspapers from a vast array of publishers) during fiscal year 2010.

 “Authors have complete control over where they decide to send their papers. If one day, everybody decides not to send to Elsevier, but to open access journals instead, it would be done.”

The boycott began with a Jan. 21 blog post by Timothy Gowers, a British mathematician who channeled his concern about Elsevier's practices and prices and sparked an international boycott that has gained more than 6,000 signatories, including dozens from UW-Madison.

Make the chunks or pieces of information small enough to appeal to and be processed by those who have only 15 to 30 minutes a day to log in. These small pieces of information can quickly be processed by the student who can then return later to finish other assignments. There can be more than one chunk of information per unit or module, but the unit itself should be broke into manageable chunks.

An online syllabus should also contain information relating to the length of time a given assignment is anticipated to take for the average student.

With an engaging course in which many students are active participants, the number of messages posted within any course discussion forum can quickly grow. When such a case presents itself, it is a good idea to give specific minimum (and maximum if necessary) requirements concerning the number of posts each student is required to submit. For example, in an ice-breaking activity, you could require each student to post responses to 2 other student posts chosen by selecting the student above and below that student in a listing of students sorted by some criteria such as alphabetically by login. When minimum requirements and other guidelines are given, students know how much work is expected of them for the assignment, ensuring that they will allocate enough time to do an adequate job and enabling them able to prioritize their time. Even an active student can have a busy week in which he/she must schedule time to properly meet this minimum requirement.

The biggest help was Skyping with Alex. Using http://quickscreenshare.com/ she was able to show me around the course and diigo.com. It was so helpful to watch her navigate and give me the visual of what she is asking the students to do.

(1) functionalist, which is directive and advice-driven, (2) engagement, which uses a nondirective approach, (3) revolutionary, which promotes radical change, and (4) evolutionary, which uses reflective dialogue to identify and challenge the prevailing discourse. The course under study incorporated two types of coaching: functionalist and evolutionary.

Facebook has begun to transform the way in which individuals perceive relationship development and interpersonal reactions, namely through self-disclosure.

A self-disclosure is any message or interaction between individuals that communicates information about oneself to others
