The Pomodoro Technique - 1 views

  •  
    This is one of the techniques that I try to use when I find myself easily getting distracted. The Pomodoro Technique is a way to stay focused by alternating set periods of work and breaks (each period is a "pomodoro"). Once the basic habits are set, one can start planning out how many pomodoros an activity will take and establish a set plan for the day.
  •  
    I do so enjoy the Pomodoro Technique...when I remember to use it! Excellent resource to share, Robert. One app I actually purchased.

Changing Course:Ten years of tracking online education in the United States - 0 views

  •  
    Here is the very large report following ten years of studying online education. I think it probably has been or will be cited in other postings in this bibliography, but I thought it would be good to post the whole thing here. It's is very comprehensive but also easy to access. Enjoy!
  •

The survey is based on the response from more than 2,800 colleges and universities and addresses the status of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), the increasing importance of a long-term teaching strategy, ther percentage of students learning online, does it take more time and effort for faculty, is online comparable to F2F learning, faculty acceptance to online learning, and barriers to the adoption of online learning.

Myths and Realities of Teaching Online | LAS OnLine | University of Illinois - 1 views

  •  
    This article seems a good (and brief) overview of issues we may encounter transitioning from face-to-face to online teaching. It is not limited to the question of workload, but it does report that online teaching takes up to 40% more time.
  •  
    The 40% is for first time, and should decrease when we teach again.

What Is Successful Technology Integration? - 1 views

  •  
    "Technology integration is the use of technology resources -- computers, mobile devices like smartphones and tablets, digital cameras, social media platforms and networks, software applications, the Internet, etc. -- in daily classroom practices, and in the management of a school." I found this article helpful largely because it just reiterated that we need to set educational goals and then choose technology which is helpful, not the other way round.

Effective Course Content by Design - 1 views

  •  
    faculty development specialists must pay close attention to the aspects of course development that are critical to the success of student learners. The likelihood of success is greatly increased when instructional design is integrated with the course's delivery tool. At ISU such integration is facilitated through the use ofWebCT, the course management system (CMS) supported by the university. Does Emory have such a tool?

Best Practices in Teaching Online: Creating an Online Syllabus - 11 views

  •  
    Graphics-based exampled of questions to answer in the syllabus. Ignoring the ugly UT brown color, this is a bulleted document that offers good points in simple fashion.

    Hi Brent, I love this resource! I might even add/revise a bit from the syllabus template that I've provided...at least I'll double check to see the cross-references. Thanks!
  •  
    This lays a lot of information out nicely and is especially helpful in thinking about what the students need to get oriented to the class. Hideous brown, though, it's true.
  •  
    I agree with all the above, including the poor color choice, however ... am I the only once feeling daunted and this point? I am beginning to wonder if it takes a certain "type" of faculty member to create an appropriate online course - someone who can think and manage in multiple platforms, constantly, both synchronously and asynchronously!! What about all the rest of our work engagements? how do they fit in?

Don't get overwhelmed learning about new technology - 0 views

  •  
    If you're like many individuals today, you may be feeling at least a little overwhelmed by the technology confronting you. Or maybe more than a little overwhelmed, making you think: How did I get so far behind? Don't worry, you're not alone.

5 Things Researchers Have Discovered About MOOCs - 0 views

  •  
    This short article comes from the Chronicle of Higher Education. It is part of the ongoing research around MOOCs. This article deals with the management of a MOOC. I hope to create an online class for Candler that will also serve as a MOOC. This will contribute to the learning of how each is different. In December 2013 a group of academics gathered during a Texas snowstorm and began the second phase of a discussion about massive open online courses. They were not terribly impressed by the hype the courses had received in the popular media, and they had set out to create a better body of literature about MOOCs-albeit a less sensational one.
