    An article regarding online course continuous improvement

    This is extremely interesting to me because it ties into continuous improvement but also the continuous improvement of online courses - something I can use both in this class as well as professionally.

Community-Centered Service Learning - 0 views

  • This article critically analyzes the service-learning literature, illustrating the idea that higher educ
  • ation institutions traditionally operate under an orientation of doing for communities rather than doing with them.
  •  
    this discusses learning in a service environment - but the general point is the same - community centered learning is more of a "doing with" model rather than a "doing for" model.

IEEE Xplore Abstract - Empirical Study on the Effect of Achievement Badges in TRAKLA2 O... - 1 views

  • Our results show that achievement badges can be used to affect the behavior of students even when the badges have no impact on the grading.
  • We also found that students in the two studied courses responded differently to the badges.
  • Based on our findings, achievement badges seem like a promising method to motivate students and to encourage desired study practices.
  •  
    this study shows that badges can impact student achievement even with no direct correlation to their grading.
  •  
    This is a great resource - thank you. I will be adding to my own library for future use.

My Online Teaching Journey | ETAP 640 - 1 views

  • I learned that the more you understand and grow the more you can offer your students.
    • alexandra m. pickett
       
      Eureka!!!
  • I feel good about what I have created and know that what I learned will help me and my students.
  • I feel accomplished!

  • I found it is the revisions and creation of the product that you learn, you learn in the doing… the applying and the creating.
  • I learned that you need to have a solid foundation to start by assessing skill levels and giving students the fundamentals is an essential process. You need to break learning up into manageable part but embed learning exercises to enhance knowledge. You have to know your audience and be aware of your assumptions. When designing a course you need to use best practices to enhance your course design. You will put a lot of time and effort in the design process… as a result expect a little blood sweat and tears (there is no guarantee you will look the same at the end :).  It is important to remember a students way of learning evolves, that means your teaching style will have to evolve too. Don’t be afraid to try new things…the more you learn the more you can offer your students.  Learn to be a self-reflective, dig deep into yourself but more importantly I learned there is a great thing to be gained in the perspective of others, value that and seek that out. This course is more than a process it is a journey!

      wow! ... this is why i love metacognitive reflection!

Consider the Source II - 0 views

  • I recall in my early SLN days trying to find out why faculty were being told to close past modules as they moved forward in the course
    • alexandra m. pickett
       
      Not sure where this comes from linda, but it is not so. the exact opposite is true.
    • lkryder
       
      2004 - I am sure it has changed. It may have been the the SLN ID I was working and/or the classes I was taking. But I did see it more than a few times and it perplexed me. I definitely don't see it anymore so that is a good thing :-)
    • alexandra m. pickett
       
      odd... i actually in the early days strongly recommended that faculty have all their modules open from the first day so that students could see the structure and flow of the course from the beginning and have the structure help them not only anticipate what was coming, but act as advanced organizers to help students understand the scope and approach to the content taken by the instructor. I also didn't want faculty to use it as an excuse to not complete the course before it went live : ) I keep the modules closed in ETAP640 and reveal them one at a time because i don't want to confuse and overwhelm students. But, i have always maintained that work in previous modules should remain open and accessible so that students can refer back to or continue conversations if they want to. If you close a module then students won't have access to their own content. I would have to be convinced that under some very specific circumstance that there would be a good reason to do that. : )
    • lkryder
       
      I am in total agreement with you on that - I won't mention names or courses :-) But I think the message is out that they should all be open!! lkr

  • I can say that I think I am on a completely different level in my teaching and design work.

  • I have increased my toolkit for engaging students at multiple levels. I feel I will be more vigilant about tapping into their basic human need for challenge, while attending to their narratives. Their storylines were not always part of my approach, but now I will be watching for those.

My Learning Reflections - 2 views

  • What I have found is teaching presence not only occurs in a face to face classroom but also online, if you look at it, they kind of are the SAME thing. The online platform is the classroom; we shouldn’t change it to make it suitable for online, we should do just as we would if it was face to face.
    • alexandra m. pickett
       
      Brilliant!
  • I feel accomplished that I gained so much from this course.
  • as an educator my job is to keep pushing and asking those questions
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • What I learned from that is to push myself continuously to learn more, to teach my classmates more, because in the end I learned THAT MUCH MORE!
  • I know I learned a lot, mainly because I was and am able to produce what has been asked of me and will remember how to do it.
    • alexandra m. pickett
       
      BRILLIANT!!!!!

About personal development - 1 views

  •  
    This website provides information for students about their career plans. I really like the page that outlines for them how the choices they make now can help them in the future. I want to use this in my online course because I think it is important for students to see the correlation between what they are doing now and how it will help them in the future. I think I am going to add this into Module 4 to assist with the career plan. I also want to use the Structured Reflection link as an intro to the course. I think it outlines reflections and states a clear purpose to the students, who may have not done a blogging activity before.
