    facilitating discussion involves teaching presence, not just interaction
  •  
    Interaction is seen as central to an educational experience and is a primary focus in the study of online learning. The focus on interaction in online learning emerges from the potential and properties of new technologies to support sustained educational communication

Gardner's Multiple Intelligences - 1 views

  • seven distinct intelligences.
  • "we are all able to know the world through language, logical-mathematical analysis, spatial representation, musical thinking, the use of the body to solve problems or to make things, an understanding of other individuals, and an understanding of ourselves. Where individuals differ is in the strength of these intelligences - the so-called profile of intelligences -and in the ways in which such intelligences are invoked and combined to carry out different tasks, solve diverse problems, and progress in various domains."
  • Gardner says that these differences "challenge an educational system that assumes that everyone can learn the same materials in the same way and that a uniform, universal measure suffices to test student learning. Indeed, as currently constituted, our educational system is heavily biased toward linguistic modes of instruction and assessment and, to a somewhat lesser degree, toward logical-quantitative modes as well."

  • At first, it may seem impossible to teach to all learning styles. However, as we move into using a mix of media or multimedia, it becomes easier

    Multiple Intelligences Howard Gardner of Harvard has identified seven distinct intelligences. This theory has emerged from recent cognitive research and "documents the extent to which students possess different kinds of minds and therefore learn, remember, perform, and understand in different ways," according to Gardner (1991).

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.

    Moodle table bug - a KNOWN issue and apparently still unresolved. I can't say enough about how incredibly frustrating and disappointing this apparently ongoing Moodle bug is. Tables! A basic display form! They can be built and borders viewed in the editor but Moodle can't display them?

The Hitchhiker's Guide To Internal Linking Strategy - 0 views

  • think more about how your users navigate websites, and consider which information they would find valuable based on their current location. Is the information on Page A related to Page B? Would someone reading Page A also want to read Page B?
  • In general, e-commerce sites do this really well
  • The result is an internal linking structure that is intuitive to users and that naturally prioritizes the most important pages for the most relevant keywords.
  •  
    A nice overview of how to think about internal linking in web design. although this advice is presented for Search Engine Optimization, it also helps us think about how and why we use links to navigate - including prioritization of content

    • Elena Buttgereit
       
      I can create a video like this more geared towards a college interview. As an assignment/assessment, students can do a virtual interview, either with me, a partner, or even guest interviewers so it can seem more realistic.
