Our
goal by engaging educators in digitally-connected, asynchronous forms of
collaborative learning was that they would gain an organic, authentic understanding
of what we (NML) mean by "participatory culture" - and thereby adopt the value
of its practices and bring them to their students and
districts.

We originally intended the course to utilize our existing public Ning community as a way to offer transparency to this learning process and allow others in the NML community to tap in and learn from what the early adopters were doing. Though each of them was equipped to share a plethora of expertise and experience that would have undoubtedly been valued by the larger community, the idea of "failing in public" overrode their desire to contribute.

So is it little wonder that it was so difficult to get participation from educators (posing as students) while offering all the affordances that flexible learning has to offer?

I found the OLI Statistics course about 2 years ago. I then used the online course along with a once per week f2f meeting in a course for 5 high school students. The students used the OLI online system to learn and practice the statistical concepts. We used the f2f meetings to discuss and resolve misconceptions, deepen their understanding of the recently learned concepts and to have fun with statistics. We extended the course over a whole year. The course was a great success. I'm a big advocate of hybrid courses, because it puts responsibility for learning with the student, and he/she feels accountable for getting everything done in time for the f2f meeting--the student is responsible for independent learning and the teacher is there to help mentor and guide.
