Chih-Hsiung Tu on 07 Dec 10Common Question I: Aligned Connectivism Principles Please discuss three most important strategies of ONLE/PLE in your unit, identify what aligned Connectivism principle(s) are, and discuss the assessments you integrate. Remember ONLE/PLE strategies are not your contents or "technologies," such as wiki, blog etc. It is the integrated soft technologies. If you don't remember Connectivism principles, please review our Lesson 1 readings. Hint: be sure to include four components of technology integrations: Content; Technology; Instructional Strategies; Assessment. This strategy should go beyond Constructivist instructional strategy and focus on ONLE/PLE/Connectivism design.

Rebecca Fitch on 11 Dec 10The strategies I incorporated include linkage, UGC, and mashup. Linkage is essential strategy to all online sites for ease of operation. Students were to generate a document that was then used by other students to experience the actual editing of a Google Doc and mashup was used to show the students how to create their own PLE

Common Question II: UGC Instructional Designs Do you have instructional UGC design in your unit? If yes, why? If no, why not? If you do, be sure to include the discussions covering four components of integrations (technology, instructional strategy, and assessment). Be sure to use Connectivism theory to justify your arguments.

As stated above, UGC was used in order for students to learn how to edit documents.

ETC647 Fall 2010 Units

Educating the Educator - Author: Becky Fitch This Unit was simple, clean, and easy to follow. The only suggestion I have is for Becky to use Dr. Tu and Dr. Blocher's paper on "Social Network Linkage Design Model for Building ONLE & PLE" to help explain the purpose of ONLE & PLEs. I would like to have read that paper in lesson 1 of ETC647. It would be helpful before giving your lesson. 1. Your introduction paragraph was helpful. The content was all about creating PLEs and using Google Docs. Content is appropriate for the targeted audiences. Yes, content is designed to teach teachers and prepare the teachers to teach their students the same content. Feedback Comments: 1. Google Docs was used to create a collaborative story (constructivism). 2. Access to the unit was provided after unit was executed. 3. Hands-on create your own PLE with specified requirements. 4. A sample PLE was provided for support (like a template). 5. Individual research was required to discover the benefits of both creating a PLE and using Google Docs. Feedback Comments: 1. Tools used: a. Google Docs b. Forums c. IGoogle = PLE Feedback Comments: 1. Lesson 1- required the learner to create their PLE. 2. Lesson 2 - required the learner to collaborate one a story in Google Docs. 3. Lesson 3 - provided access to the unit with interaction and questions satisfied on a forum. The forum was provided in the Wiki. 4. An exit survey was created for instructor's feedback 5. Learners were expected to demonstrate that they could access the info after the Unit was completed.

This was a good unit for educators, is was clear and simple. I think it could have included more collaborative and cooperative activities. However all objective were met.
