Wetpaint Wiki was most effective when used with other synchronous communcation tools such as Elluminate. Although it did help us organize meeting notes, meeting times,etc, if the individuals in the group didnt check it often, it wasnt very useful. I think Wetpaint is more effective when you have consistent communication utilizing tool with active users. On the other hand, as far as keeping individuals abreast of the group activities and comments on specific topics and assignments, it did great.
-
Mary, Great thoughts! It sounds like to use wiki tools effectively, ones must develop the communication styles that connect them to the communication channels. Correct!
-
Hi Professor, Yes Wiki tools are quite useful and I do plan to incorporate them into the Unit Plan, and I think one of the many ways to make sure students are utilizing the tools are to grade them on their contributions. In order for this to happen though, an assignment that would be further enhanced through wiki would have to be created that would require extensive usage of the wiki ( similar to the treatise paper) and as the discussant was being graded, it would be used in a similar manner. * this sounds neat as I write, but I wonder how difficult it would be to implement?* ..lol! Thanks Professor! :)

I think the five most critical elements of distributed learning are the following: Effective Collaboration Integration of Creativity with guided expectations Effective Communication Tools Incorporation of Web 2.0 tools for indepth learning Involved Moderators/Instructors to Guide Learning

I think the 5 best tools/elements of distributed learning are 1) tools that promote collaboration among peers, 2) those that allow a greater degree of communication and interaction among instructors and students, 3) elements which provide access to course reserves and content, 4) tools which compliment each other as opposed to mimic each other. What I mean by this is there should not be sites which create duplicated functions such a multipoe sites for bookmarking and tagging sources, and, 5) a single home page for students to go to retrieve and submit information. It is OK to have multiple sites - that is various tools - for retrieving and submitting course content, but I think there also needs to be an "official" site that is not an open source serving as the mother ship of the course. I say this because students can access many computers from many locations throughout the live of a course and some locations may block sites and others may not.

Common Question III: Most of people probably would agree that all instructions should have integrated online (distributed learning) technology. Do you agree or disagree? Why? Please at least provide three reasons with good literatures to support your arguments.

Thanks for the Wordle arts. Based on your Wordle art, explorary appears to be importnat. Please explain what it is and why it is important to distributed leanirng.

Chih, Using the "Find" tool in MS Word I found that the word "exploratory" occurs about 15 times in our paper; 12 times in the body of our treaties and 3 times in picture captions or references. As it relates to distributed learning environments, "exploratory" refers to one of the three constructivist pedagogical models (Dabbagh, 2005, p.184). It is important because of how predominant constructivism is in distributed learning. With in the Exploratory Learning Environment, learners are engaged in working through authentic scenarios or simulations of real world problems. Max,

Common Question I: In the lesson, I will ask each group several common questions and specific question on your group treatise paper. These questions can be responded by any of your group members as an individual opinion or as group response. It is your group decision. Here is the first question. a. Please list five most critical elements of distributed learning "strategies" in distance learning.

Hi Everyone, I added a sticky note here to let you all know I added the conversation from Elluminate between Max and me. Again, sorry they changed the time for my mom's dinner and my second to oldest sister wouldnt let me use her laptop to let you all know where I was....she is in school to but she could have let me used for a sec...lol. Thanks. I think I may try to send you all a video discussing my thoughts on the assignment but we will see how that works out...take care.

I referred to distributed learning as distance learning simply because I live in small town hours from Flagstaff & NAU. I feel because I am here and not there, it is "distant" to me. Also, because I am probably older than a lot of others in this program...when I started out here in Havasu taking my first non f2f classes, they were considered "distance learning" classes. I guess the name just kind of stick in my head!!! It is on-line learning, I do need to change some of the old terms I still carry around with me!!!! -
Renee, Thanks for the response and explinations! You are correct that frequenly people refer distributed learning as distance learning. IN fact, it is not necessary. Ditributed leanring can be delivered in FTF instructions as well. I think it is more important that we need to understand distance learning embrace distributed learning becaused of effective technology has capacity to facilitate distributed leanring instructions. With effective distributed learning instructions and technology, students are physicially separated by distance may feel closer to the course, the instructor, and the classmates.

Yes, I agree that using all the distributed learning tools that we may "feel" closer. I feel closer more than ever this semester because of Facebook. I can now put a "face" to all my classmates!!! that is really nice to do. In some of my previous classes, when we worked in groups, sometimes each group memeber would attach a picture of themselves through the course e-mail...this was kind of the same, but having a casual place outside of the CMS is very, very nice!!!

Thanks for the Wordle art! Based on your Wordle art, I noticed "communciation" appeared to be one of important componenets in your treatise paper. Pleae justify why "communicaiton" is important.
-
Like everythin in life communication is key. It allows for people to be able to share ideas. Communication allows for students to get clarification on anything that they are learning as well as teachers to express their expectations. I think that in an online class or distributed learning environment, communication is essential. Sometimes instructions are not clear, so students and teachers need to communicate with each other to get that clarification. Communication is also a great way to assess student learning. This comment for example is me communicating with you on your question about communication. -
I like the way that you framed the question: "Communication is also a great way to assess student learning. This comment for example is me communicating with you on your question about communication. " Based on what you describe, can we say communicaiton is learning?
-
I think that people learn by communicating. So I would say yes, communication is learning. By me passing on my knowledge or ideas to someone else and they understand it or never heard of my ideas, then they have learned something. My way of passing on that information is communication. So in the process of communication, people can learn.

Thanks for the Wordle art! Based on this visual components, tools appear to be an important componenets in yoru paper. Please justify what the tools are and why they are critical?

Online distributed learning utilizes a wide variety of tools to affect student learning. A CMS organizes the course. Learners use web browsers to research information and communications tools such as e-mail or discussion boards. Tools such as word processing and spreadsheets are used to display data and share what we have learned in written form. Newer Web 2.0 tools allow learners to collaborate and share information and ideas in ways that have never been done before. - ...3 more comments...

Scott, Great comments about needing to test the tools prior to utilizing them within a course. Sounds like this could be made into a course itself - Web 2.0 Tools 101! Assignments could be for students to use, test, and evaluate the tools for their effectiveness, reliability, and ease of use.
-
I have now see and participated in using online tools and I can say that it s 1. definitely enhances social learning - so many more perspectives to include that make us smarter. 2. It also engages the learner and encourges more exploration. 3. Being required to use the tools keeps us up to speed with r the rapid change, introduction, and use of new tools. .
