Each week students played one of three roles. 1) Staters introduced
one or more ideas by stating something important they learned from a reading,
discussing what was the most difficult or confusing part of the reading[1] and raising new sociological questions
that the reading suggested. 2) Responders replied to the ideas already
posted and then posed further sociological questions. 3) Integrators combined
and synthesized the readings, what others had said that week in seminar and
their postings, and raised additional sociological questions. (See Appendix
A for a copy of the instructions given to students).

“Building self-respect comes from struggle and achievement, not from being made comfortable.” I believe this is so true for students and faculty alike. It is why I like to try new things and set an example of exploration outside of my own comfort zone.

Personal learning suggests learner autonomy and increased self regulation (Atwell, 2007; Aviram et al., 2008). However, increased responsibility and control on the part of the learner do not necessarily equate to learner motivation (Dede, 1996). Students engaging in networked learning research must be more self-directed. Not only are they navigating a number of web-based applications for the first time, they are also required to take an active role in the learning process by making decisions about how to search, where to search, and why certain content meets a learning objective.
-
Teachers, on the other hand, are challenged to provide an appropriate balance between structure and learner autonomy in order to facilitate self-directed, personalised learning (Beaudoin, 1990; McLoughlin & Lee, 2010).
-
The role of a teacher within a student-centered approach to instruction is that of a facilitator or coach (Wang, 2006). "He or she supports the students in their search and supply of relevant material, coordinates the students' presentations of individual milestones of their projects, moderates discussions, consults in all kinds of problem-solving and seeking for solutions, lectures on topics that are selected in plenary discussions with the students and conforms to the curriculum" (Motschnig-Pitrik & Holzinger, 2002, p. 166).
