How course management systems impact teaching by Lisa M. Lane on Insidious pedagogy - 2 views

shared by Kyle Murley on 16 Oct 09 - Cached
  • why aren’t faculty tinkering with them in an effort to make their individual pedagogies work online?
  • these systems are closed silos, and that this fact alone could hamper pedagogy
  • Many instructors teaching online today are not “Web heads”
  • ...28 more annotations...
  • Their adoption of technology is based on top–down directives rather than interest or aptitude (Samarawickrema and Stacey, 2007).
  • They do not possess the “information literacy” skills now required of many undergraduates (Reid, 2006),
  • despite an assumption that professors are all computer–savvy (Dykman and Davis, 2008)
  • most are novices when it comes to the Web
  • most do not use the Web either extensively or intensively in their own work (Lane, 2007)
  • Few programs in the traditional disciplines at traditional universities offer anything in the way of Web–based methods
  • ,300 college instructors showed that while many use e–mail and some use discussion forums or plagiarism–check applications, none were communicating with students via current Web technologies such as video or audio chat, and only a few were experimenting with blogs for classes (Jones and Johnson–Yale, 2005)
  • Those experienced with the content involved in the search, but inexperienced at using the Web, did not tend to search far from the central “hub” where they began
  • Expert users contextualize their resources fluidly and organize materials effectively, while novices just upload and share files, hoping students will find them (Reanut, et al., 2006)
  • novices are inclined to utilize only the aspects they understand from a non–Web context
  • they require “restricted vocabularies, simple tasks, small numbers of possibilities, and very informative feedback.” (Chen, 2001)
  • buttons are based on type rather than purpose
  • exactly what most instructors do: upload word–processed files of their classroom materials
  • “plug in” their content under the appropriate category instead of envisioning a translation of their individual pedagogical style into an online environment.
  • Blackboard “tends to encourage a linear pathway through the content” [3], and its default is to support easy uploading and text entry to achieve that goal.
  • It would be natural and useful for novice instructors to see a blank schedule into which they could create each week’s or unit’s activities, rather than a selection of pre–set buttons or links.
  • Most professors think in terms of the semester, and how their pedagogical goals can be achieved within the context of time, rather than space.
  • It forces the instructor to think in terms of content types instead, breaking the natural structure of the semester, or of a list of topic
  • You could change all the course menu buttons into “Week 1”, “Week 2”, or organize by topic instead of content type.
  • Faculty are led by the interface of a CMS not only because they do not immediately see an alternative, but because the familiar signposts (the Syllabus button) imply a single way of completing the task (upload a document).
  • experience with the CMS over time does not necessarily lead to more creative pedagogy, or even to more expansive use of system features
  • faculty requests for help focus on what the technology can do, rather than how their pedagogical goals can be achieved.
  • Carmean and Haefner (2008) argue that any CMS can provide a deep learning experience and can be used for multimedia and in–depth communication with students
  • Novices happily use the high–tech CMS as a glorified copy machine (Dutton, 2004; Walker and Johnson, 2008).
  • With Web novices, pedagogy must be emphasized before features and tools
  • creating a course piecemeal means that the pedagogical goals are left behind in the interest of mastering a few tools
  • That replaces the instructor’s main strength (their expertise in their discipline and their teaching) with their main weakness (technological literacy).
  • A history instructor at MiraCosta College in California since 1989, Lisa M. Lane
  • Kyle Murley on 16 Oct 09
     
    A closer look at how course management systems work, combined with an understanding of how novices use technology, provides a clearer view of the manner in which a CMS may not only influence, but control, instructional approaches.

  • By using materials that the learner will use after training, transfer of learning from the classroom to the "real world" will be enhanced.
  • functional context approach was developed specifically for adult technical and literacy training (reading/writing/mathematics) in military programs
  • Use material and equipment that the learner will actually use after training

    This is a fine example of analysis in action. From performance, to subject matter, task, and goal analysis - they're all here in an applied example.
  • Jess Ebel on 08 Oct 09
     
    This is such a great resource for clear and specific examples of the different types of analysis. It's a shame that the tables were so hard to read- it needs a little love... I'd be happy to help out if anyone wants to fix those margins and table widths over Winter Break or something. (Not right now, though! First things first!) I don't think it would take much time to fix if a couple of us worked on it together.

  • Selber’s framework explores how new “social” online tools are currently changing the nature of instruction both at Penn State and around the world.
  • At one end of the spectrum is what Selber calls the self-contained instruction set, such as a manual presented in print or other static format that is handed down to a user in fixed form, often written by a professional technical writer
  • In his framework, those include “embedded” how-tos, where instructions are still fixed, but around which readers can add comments, discussions, and ratings, and “open” how-tos, which readers can actually edit or customize using tools such as wikis.

  • what is out there that’s comparable in the commercial downloadable/DVD educational games sector?
  • Yes. Most "educational" games suck. They are created to make drills and tedious practice more palatable
  • If the goal is to solve as many math problems as possible in as short a time as possible, whether there are aliens or puppies or whatever, it's just not as important.
  • Commercial games have engaging environments
  • there are goals that are appropriately difficult for players
  • Most current groups making educational games do not seem to have much background (or at least they do not put much thought into) game design.
  • a quote from Will Wright, creator of Sim City, The Sims, and Spore. "Why are we even talking about 'educational games' -- as if games weren't already educational"
  • Instead of looking to attach video games to our curriculum, we should be looking to attach our curriculum to video games.
