I'm presenting to my colleagues at the Faculty of Education, University of Regina this coming Wednesday on the potential for networked learning in teacher education, K-12 and higher education. Inspired by a very recent initiative by Robin Ellis, I've decided to put up a Voicethread slide and ask for feedback from people on their experiences with networked/social learning.

An old colleague and member of a group I belong to posted this. I think it is brilliant to see museum stuff online. She wrote:
Amazing how they have integrated the online and physical exhibitions, included multimedia to good effect, and software such as a 'page turner' to allow users to page through Mary Shelley's original hand written pages of Frankenstein. They have embedded social media (facebook, twitter tags etc), and performance measuring software such as Google Analytics. There was a central core team of 6 staff members in Oxford, they used outside companies for the web design and development, as well as user testing in two phases. It took about 5.5 months to create the online exhibition and cost around £30 000 - not bad considering its sophistication and the extent of materials that had to be digitised.

My Interesting Ways to Use series has been really successful. I measure their success in how useful they are to teachers and other educators in helping with professional development. I say "My" in the loosest sense of ownership really, as with all of the presentations they belong to us all. I just kickstart them and point them off in the right direction.
They have been a great example of crowdsourcing good quality classroom ideas and it has been great fun connecting with all of the people who have taken time to add an idea. It is remarkable what can be achieved and created together if you give people the right way to do it. Thanks for all the help so far.
Please Note: the course syllabus is subject to change depending on the way in which the class unfolds. This class is not premised upon coverage, but rather focused on creative application and theoretical interaction with a series of ideas from a wide-range of disciplines.

A hybrid or blended course, by definition, reduces face-to-face "seat time" so that students can pursue additional teaching and learning activities online. To be successful, a hybrid or blended course requires careful pedagogical redesign. These ten questions offer you a way to start thinking about some of these design issues.
1. What do you want students to know when they have finished taking your hybrid cour
