    by Thomas Stanley, Project Learning LLC Ideas for Creating an Interactive Blended Learning Experience There are, sometimes frustratingly, a number of ways to teach in the online world. Some programs are credit retrieval, others are expanded correspondence courses, and still others ask the student to do some thematic activities.

    Lit review of the effectiveness of online asynchronous environments from 2003. The section on online interactions and the descriptions of learner-learner, learner-content, and learner-instructor interaction within the Community of Inquiry model is a good introduction to the CoI framework and interactions online.

    A video from Stephen Downes about differences between LMS vs PLE. This is a post for week 02, interactions. The point here is that interactions in a LMS are different than those in a PLE. Of course, interactions are richer in a PLE, not discarding LMS as part of PLE.

    Salman Khan talks about how and why he created the remarkable Khan Academy, a carefully structured series of educational videos offering complete curricula in math and, now, other subjects. He shows the power of interactive exercises, and calls for teachers to consider flipping the traditional classroom script -- give students video lectures to watch at home, and do "homework" in the classroom with the teacher available to help.

      In my reading of this sentence, these activities are related to collaborative learning situations.

  • 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).

  • only asynchronous forms of communication can cause students, and even instructors, to feel disconnected

      What does this mean in this context?

  • 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:
    • dr_bzen
      dr_bzen on 08 Mar 17
       
      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.
    • dr_bzen
      dr_bzen on 08 Mar 17
       
      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.

    A hybrid course is much more than just an online course with a face-to-face class session thrown in for good measure. It involves asking, "What is the best way for students to interact with course content, construct knowledge, engage in critical thinking and problem solving?"

  • “There is clear consensus that the best strategies for design begins [sic] by clearly defining course objectives before coming up with course activities, assignments and assessments. Course objectives are particularly critical for blended courses because objectives can inform content delivery mechanism (in class or online), pedagogy (bridging between the classroom and online activities), and requisite amount and locations for class meetings and interactions” (p. 11).

      I believe this is the case in any type of course, but I appreciate this being highlighter here since course objectives are key to determine our activities and assessments.

      aviejj on 27 Apr 14
       
      I agree, course objectives are also essential as it will determine which activities should be online-based or face-to-face
  • blended learning lends itself to learner-centered, teacher-guided (as opposed to teacher-directed), interactive, and student-collaborative learning.
  • Students should be able to perform required tasks online with little or no prompting by the instructor. Of course, teachers should guide their students along, but when a student can accomplish a task online with limited assistance, that student encounters a learning experience that is deeper and more rewarding.

    Nice article on the basics of blended learning and the how to get started. Particularly liked the tip on technology frills. It is so important that the interaction we use in a blended learning environment is meaningful and not just to keep the user busy. So many times engagement is just repetitive activity and not meaningful. It is important that each interaction is focused and helps drive home the objective.

    Today, blended learning has become a more mature market. Many traditional classes have blended elements integrated into their structure, and we now have concepts like "the flipped classroom," indicating a strategy in which delivery of informational content occurs outside of class instead of during in-class lecture, freeing the face-to-face time for interactive activities.

    Blended learning course design entails more than simply converting content for online delivery or finding ways to supplement an existing face-to-face course. Ideally, designing a blended course would begin with identifying learning outcomes and topics, creating assignments and activities, determining how interaction will occur, and selecting the technologies to best achieve those learning outcomes.

This is a concept that has been applied at many places in the past few years and can be applied to both hybrid / blended or online courses.
