Ten Steps Toward Universal Design of Online Courses - Disability Resource Center - 10 views

  •  
    Ten Steps Toward Universal Design of Online Courses Implementing the principles of universal design in online learning means anticipating the diversity of students that may enroll in your course and planning accordingly. Designing a course with principles of universal design in mind is an ongoing and creative process. One does not achieve the level of usability aspired to with a simple checklist, but with an open mind and a commitment to making design and inclusion a priority. There are a few elements, though, that if taken into consideration, can enhance access and usability greatly. Knowing and incorporating these elements on the front end of the design process can save hours down the line.

SAMR and Bloom's Taxonomy: Assembling the Puzzle | Common Sense Education - 37 views

  • Augmentation/Apply: Using a simple yet powerful tool for visualization like GeoGebra, students explore the concepts covered in the resources described in 1., and solve related standard problems. The scope and number of the problems is not governed by what is available in the “back of the book,” but rather driven by the evolution of student understanding, as measured by suitable formative assessment processes.
  • Substitution/Remember: Students use ebooks and other Open Education Resources to acquire basic knowledge about statistical tools and procedures. 2. Substitution/Understand: At the same time, they begin a process of gathering information online describing applications of these statistical tools to an area of interest to them, using simple bookmark aggregation services (e.g., Diigo, Delicious) to collect and tag these resources, relating them to the knowledge gained in 1.

JOLT - Journal of Online Learning and Teaching - 62 views

  • All of them responded that Twitter allows them to build connections with educators beyond those in their immediate vicinity. These connections are purposefully made as a way to find and share resources and to provide and receive support. For example, Participant 8 stated, “My primary purpose is to connect with other teachers, so that I can learn from them and share resources that I find.” Similarly, Participant 9 wrote, “I am the only biology teacher at my school. I use it [Twitter] as a means of obtaining advice, resources and collaboration…I also use it to find out about new tech tools.”

  • Participants explained that they choose to follow people who are open, positive, and constructive.
  • “If their tweets seem to be of interest - providing ideas or resources, as opposed to just opinion - I will network with them.” Similarly, Participant 6 stated, “I look for people who interact and don't just post links.”
  • those they trust
  • Since Twitter is considered to be a social networking website, one aspect of this study looked at dialogue that transpired between followers to show evidence of collaborative conversations rather than unidirectional sharing of information.
  • Survey results show that nine out of ten of the respondents were able to give concrete examples of collaboration that occurred with fellow Twitter users.
  • These examples included ideas such as creating units, sharing of resources, students collaborating on projects between classrooms, exchanging professional materials and readings, writing book chapters, and even co-presenting at conferences.
  • beyond 140-character messages. That teachers moved discussions to forums that allow for deeper discussion and expansion of ideas is encouraging; Twitter does not seem to be a place to collaborate in depth, but rather to make those initial connections - a "jumping off" point.

  • This research study provides new insight into how teachers use social networking sites such as Twitter for professional purposes.

Clements, K. (2016). [e-Book] Why Open Educational Resources Repositories Fail? The Contribution of Quality Approaches to the Success of Repositories. Jyväskylä University of Jyväskylä, 2016 - 13 views

  •  
    Durante las dos últimas décadas, millones de Recursos Educativos Abiertos (REA) están a libre disposición para los profesores y estudiantes en línea. Estos recursos son generalmente accesibles a través Repositorios de Objetos de Aprendizaje (LORS), que son bases de datos con una interfaz de usuario. Los Repositorios de Objetos de Aprendizaje rara vez se utilizan en todo su potencial y, a menudo se considerados como "fracasos". Estudios anteriores han demostrado que la calidad tiene un papel crítico en el éxito de los sistemas de información, tales como LORS. Sin embargo no existen pautas comunes para la garantía de calidad para los enfoques LORS, ni existen estudios sobre la contribución de los diferentes enfoques de aseguramiento de la calidad LOR para el éxito de un repositorio. La medición de la calidad y el éxito han demostrado ser un desafío en la comunidad de investigación debido a la naturaleza subjetiva y dinámica de tales conceptos. Para hacer frente a este reto, esta tesis estudia la percepción de los usuarios y desarrolladores con LOR desde mútiples perspectivas metodológicas. La aportación de esta tesis al discurso académico se debe a su profundización de la comprensión de las percepciones de los usuarios y desarrolladores de LORS sobre la calidad y el éxito de los repositorios. para ello se desarrollaron marcos para enfoques de garantía de calidad y medidas de éxito de Repositorios de Objetos de Aprendizaje con el fin de identificar y enfoques de diseño que aumentarían el éxito de los repositorios, como un aporte teórico. Los resultados de estos estudios muestran que opiniones de los expertos en combinación con los enfoques de calidad generados por los usuarios (por ejemplo, sistemas de recomendación revisiones por pares, comentando, etiquetado, etc.) contribuyen al éxito del repositorio.El aporte práctico de esta tesis es un conjunto de recomendaciones hacia el diseño de estrategias de calidad de los Repositorio

Inside the School Silicon Valley Thinks Will Save Education | WIRED - 9 views

CHRISTIE HEMM KLOK/WIRED SO YOU'RE A parent, thinking about sending your 7-year-old to this rogue startup of a school you heard about from your friend's neighbor's sister. It's prospective parent information day, and you make the trek to San Francisco's South of Market neighborhood. You walk up to the second floor of the school, file into a glass-walled conference room overlooking a classroom, and take a seat alongside dozens of other parents who, like you, feel that public schools-with their endless bubble-filled tests, 38-kid classrooms, and antiquated approach to learning-just aren't cutting it. At the same time, you're thinking: this school is kind of weird. On one side of the glass is a cheery little scene, with two teachers leading two different middle school lessons on opposite ends of the room. But on the other side is something altogether unusual: an airy and open office with vaulted ceilings, sunlight streaming onto low-slung couches, and rows of hoodie-wearing employees typing away on their computers while munching on free snacks from the kitchen. And while you can't quite be sure, you think that might be a robot on wheels roaming about. Then there's the guy who's standing at the front of the conference room, the school's founder. Dressed in the San Francisco standard issue t-shirt and jeans, he's unlike any school administrator you've ever met. But the more he talks about how this school uses technology to enhance and individualize education, the more you start to like what he has to say. And so, if you are truly fed up with the school stat

4 Steps to Empower Student Voice | The Remind Blog - 39 views

  • The term “student voice” refers to the input and perspectives of students, and describes how their voices and actions affect what happens in the classroom. Through developing their own questions, seeking out their interests, and driving their own learning, students become more involved in their education. With this involvement comes empowerment, as students are able to use their knowledge to contribute to the greater community.
  • 1. Inclusion When students feel that they matter and are included in the classroom community, they are much more likely to open up and share their perspectives.
  • 2. Integration Begin to integrate student voice into your daily lessons by creating more opportunities for students to contribute. This can come in the form of whole classroom discussion, small group activities, input on writing activities, and more
