    *** Call for Expressions of Interest to join the Review Panel for the MERLOT Journal of Online Learning and Teaching (JOLT) ***

    In response to continual increases in the volume of manuscript submissions it receives, the MERLOT Journal of Online Learning and Teaching (JOLT at http://jolt.merlot.org/) is seeking expressions of interest from qualified individuals to join its panel of reviewers.

    JOLT is a peer-reviewed, open-access, online journal whose objectives are to:

    - Enable faculty to use technology effectively in online teaching and learning by learning from a community of researchers and scholars;
    - Enable academic programs to design and deploy academic technology to optimize online teaching and learning;
    - Build a community around the research and scholarly use of multimedia educational resources for online teaching and learning.

    JOLT welcomes papers on all aspects of online learning and teaching in higher education. Topics may include, but are not limited to: learning theory and the use of multimedia to improve online learning; instructional design theory and application; online learning and teaching initiatives; use of technology in online education; innovative online learning and teaching practices.

    All manuscripts submitted to JOLT are subjected to a prima facie evaluation by the Editor or Associate Editor before they are sent out for peer review. Those that pass this preliminary assessment are assigned to a minimum of two reviewers on the journal's reviewer panel, who are typically each given three weeks to submit their feedback. Every effort is made by the editors to match manuscripts to reviewers based on their areas of interest and expertise. The editors are responsible collating the reviewers' feedback and rendering a final decision on the manuscript in light of the feedback. (Additional reviews may be obtained if necessary, for example, in cases where the reviews received contain conflicting recommendations.) Generally, JOLT strives to advise authors on the disposition of their manuscripts within six to eight weeks of the date of submission.

    Individuals interested in serving as reviewers for JOLT are asked to complete the form at the following URL:

    Prospective reviewers should possess a higher research degree (e.g., Ph.D.) and/or have a strong publication record in online education, learning technology, or higher education teaching and learning. Previous experience performing reviews for scholarly journals is preferred but not essential. Although remuneration is not offered to reviewers, at any given time those who have completed at least one review in the past year will be acknowledged by having their names listed on the JOLT website.

    Any questions relating to JOLT should be directed to the editors, whose contact details appear below.

    Alternative Learning Places

    We're proposing to re-design and replace school with what we are calling Alternative Learning Places (ALP). What will the alternative look like? Kids working in teams on projects that they're interested in, with goals they care about (building a robot that does something, building a toothpick bridge that can hold weight, building a car that will win a race, telling another kid about where they live, forming a friendship with a kid in another country…) Kids practicing the skills they need for lifelong success in the real world- such as teamwork, goal conflict resolution, judgment, persuasion, management, and communication. The Alternative Learning Places will give parents and their children an alternative to our broken education system. Visit the Alternative Learning Places website for more information.

    Digital Storytelling (also affectionately known as ds106) is an open, online course that will begin on January 10th, 2011 happens at various times throughout the year….but you can join in whenever you like and leave whenever you need. This course is free to anyone who wants to take it, and the only requirements are a real computer (none of those wimpy ass iPads), a hardy internet connection, a domain of your own, some commodity web hosting, and all the creativity you can muster (and we'll spend time helping you get up and running with at least two of the last three requirements).

    Sign for Me, an app for the hearing impaired that acts as a virtual interpreter. "This app and others like it could eventually save universities and their students thousands of dollars," says Burnett. "We currently pay interpreters about $30,000 a year."

    Discussion based on the article From Teaching to Learning by Barr and Tagg

    Summary:

    The authors argue that we currently measure "hours of instruction" which is a measure of teaching, not learning. We need to shift our approach from teaching to learning.

    Just because someone sits in a class for 40 hours does not mean that they have actually learned anything. We need to measure the change in what learners can do at the end of the course that they could not do at the beginning. Rather than fixing the time (i.e. 40 hours per course), we need to fix the learning. The course should be over when the content has been mastered. Measurement of mastery should be achieved through authentic assessment.
