      What are high impact activities?

      In my reading of this sentence, these activities are related to collaborative learning situations.
  • link the best technological solutions for teaching and learning with the best human resources…. encourag[ing] the development of highly interactive and collaborative activities that can be accomplished only by a faculty member in a mediated setting.
  • e second relates to the rapid decentralization and distribution of most of society’s channels of communication – newspapers, television, radio, and, more recently, academic publishing – and raises concerns of how learners are to make sense of information in a field that is fragmented and distributed, rather than well organized and coherent (such as information found in a traditional textbook).

      This is what we are doing in our discussion posts for this course.

      So very true! Its interesting the anxiety I feel when I read this model. Even with my desire to turn this learning over to students, a part of me wants to hold onto control.
  • only asynchronous forms of communication can cause students, and even instructors, to feel disconnected
  • Blended learning, in all its various representations, has as its fundamental premise a simple idea: link the best technological solutions for teaching and learning with the best human resources…. encourag[ing] the development of highly interactive and collaborative activities that can be accomplished only by a faculty member in a mediated setting.

      I've seen this dynamic happen in my classes when I don't give enough structure to an activity.

      What does this mean in this context?
  • often fall into conflict on principles of minimal or guided instruction and instructivism or constructivism
  • Atelier Learning
  • Helping students to gain the skills they require to construct these networks for learning, evaluating their effectiveness, and working within a fluid structure is a massive change in how the dynamics of classrooms are usually structured.
  • Curtis Bonk (2007) presents a model where the educator is a concierge directing learners to resources or learning opportunities that they may not be aware of. The concierge serves to provide a form of soft guidance – at times incorporating traditional lectures and in other instances permitting learners to explore on their own. Bonk states:

      This is the model I see myself gravitating toward -- though without knowing it was actually a model. I wonder what about my background learning/teaching has drawn me to see this as a way of doing blended learning.
  • While learners are free to explore, they encounter displays, concepts, and artifacts representative of the discipline. Their freedom to explore is unbounded. But when they engage with subject matter, the key concepts of a discipline are transparently reflected through the curatorial actions of the teacher.

      Is the difference between this and concierge that the instructor sets up the frame in which the learning happens?
  • media to articulate ideas or thoughts”
  • When you design your own online course environment, keep interaction in the front of your mind.
  • Create a threaded discussion or wiki assignment,  asking students to review the syllabus and then to write one or two things that they would like to get out of the course, how the material could be made more meaningful to them or for their goals, and even their preliminary opinions about some of the main course themes or topics.
  • Again, it will not require a huge effort to create one general threaded discussion to let students tell you about the applicability of the materials to their lives or studies or to express their opinions about different aspects of the content itself.
  • The assignment can also enable other student techno expressions, such as photos, brief descriptions of where they are from, or even a sense of “in the moment” place (e.g., “From my computer, I can see the pine tree in my yard through the San Francisco fog each morning”).
  • The first classroom meeting is face-to-face. At this meeting, we ask students to use pastel pencils and construction paper to draw a symbolic representation of how they see the educational process.
  • If you have a choice, we recommend designing a hybrid course over a fully online course. 
  • There are a number of potential audiences to whom students could express themselves: to the instructor, to an expert in the field, to a small group of peers, to the entire class, to prospective employers, and to the public.
  • A special education credential  student writing a reflective weblog entry about a classroom observation only for the supervising faculty member might use different language than for the public at large. These types of experiences will prepare the students not only for future coursework but also for job interviews.
  • VODcasts
  • Before, the assignment, write clear instructions, including information about your policies on academic integrity and plagiarism. Provide examples of prior students’ work.
  • If this is the first group to do this type of assignment, go through the assignment yourself to create a model of what you consider to be good work. Let students know what could happen to their work if someone else were able to change it.

    I had the same thing happen to me: I was using a model without knowing it was a model! I'm glad I now have vocabulary to describe my work in the classroom.

    Blended learning was statistically significantly better than traditional learning in all domains of the educational environment, except for social perception, and in all types of examination: written, objective structured clinical and case scenarios.

    G. Conole, et al. (2004) provide an interesting perspective on how technology tools might be mapped against your learning intent. I recommend this strategy when deciding how to blend.

    Blended learning does not simply involve shifting portions of face-to-face instruction Faculty Focus is a free e-newsletter and website that publishes articles on effective teaching strategies for the college classroom. This articles explains the re-conceptualization of the learning process in a hybrid course, as well as, detailing the steps of the ADDIE method (analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation).

    Good conversation (brief) about learning and the flipped model
  • James Kerr on 02 Mar 15
     
    The flipped learning model of instruction has begun to make the transition from an educational buzzword to a normative practice among many university instructors, and with good reason. Flipped learning provides many benefits for both faculty and students.
