"Onboarding is the process of acquiring, accommodating, assimilating and accelerating new team members, whether they come from outside or inside the organization. The prerequisite to successful onboarding is getting your organization aligned around the need and the role."
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.
Technology in and of itself is not evil, and technology integrated into education is opening minds, not closing them.
When conducting a cost-benefit analysis, it’s only appropriate to spend as much time thinking through the benefits as it is thinking through the costs.”
Chickering and Gamson developed a seminal work on teaching and learning, their Seven Principles of Good Practice in Undergraduate Instruction
Good practice in undergraduate education:
1. Encourages contact between students and faculty
2. Develops reciprocity and cooperation among students.
3. Encourages active learning.
4. Gives prompt feedback.
5. Emphasizes time on task.
6. Communicates high expectations.
7. Respects diverse talents and ways of learning.
technology is a powerful tool that encourages contact between students and faculty, provides avenues for reciprocity and cooperation among students, creates new venues for active learning, enables more timely and prompt feedback, and gives new opportunities to keep students on task
