The Tone of the Syllabus - 1 views

  •  
    This guide to syllabus construction from Vanderbilt reiterates many points from our readings and is not specifically concerned with online teaching. However, one thing I had not yet seen in other readings that concerns us here is the importance of choosing the right tone for introducing the class to students. I am not sure that the warm and friendly approach recommended here is always the right one but it makes sense for us given the difficulty we will have in any case making personal connections with students in the online environment.

    I think this is an important point. I had to revise some of my syllabi for exactly this reason. I guess when I first started teaching, I wanted to sound official and proper, but then a few years later discovered that I did not even recognize the person behind the formal, detached voice of the syllabi, and perhaps along the way, that a good instructor did not need to sound official or proper! Good reminder for me this time around, so thanks for posting this!

    Thanks, Yu, I am just seeing this now. I think my draft syllabus was too formal and scary, but on the other hand I want to be super clear up front about expectations. I will need to tweak this,

Teaching Literature Online - 1 views

  •  
    This UCF website, prepared by Carissa Baker, explores the way in which many literature professors are "trying innovative technology strategies within the literature classroom to increase knowledge and engagement." With theoretical as well as practical sources, the site offers many ideas on student engagement and literature immersion; it also has a few videos with ideas for staging virtual worlds; and a starter bibliography with 10 articles on a range of topics, including virtual literature circles; native avatars, online hubs, and urban indian literature; victorian novels and technoRomanticism; using Tweeter in the Literature Classroom (hmm...); online teaching Old English; and hypertext use to enhance students reading experiences, among others.

    Michael Wesch has been on the lecture circuit for years touting new models of active teaching with technology. The associate professor of cultural anthropology at Kansas State University has given TED talks. Wired magazine gave him a Rave Award. The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching once named him a national professor of the year.

  •  
    Assessments should reveal how well students have learned what we want them to learn while instruction ensures that they learn it. For this to occur, assessments, learning objectives, and instructional strategies need to be closely aligned so that they reinforce one another.

Using Rubrics - 0 views

  •  
    This page is actually a brief (but helpful and concise) overview of the use of rubrics. The main reason I am posting it here is because the entire site (Cornell University Center for Teaching Excellence) has a wealth of information on design, assessment, student engagement and using technology in the classroom.

    The "flipped classroom" stuff here is provocative. I'm going to think about how to give it a try in media studies courses, even those at the grad level. I do wonder to what degree the extraordinary testing results are a result of the sheer novelty of the flipped classroom (and to what degree the scores would go back to normal as the novelty wore off).
  •  
    I consider my classroom, in general, flipped. My general rule of thumb is that the more I talk the less they learn, so I really push the application process.
  •  
    This is a great example of using these techniques. I see lots of application of this info in my future teaching. Thanks for sharing.

Teaching English as a New Language to Visually Impaired and Blind ESL Students: Problem... - 0 views

  •  
    Teaching English as a Second Language (ESL) to immigrants and refugees who are visually impaired or blind involves complex challenges such as working with mainstream ESL programs that have low expectations of people with disabilities, coping with inaccessible intake tools and training materials, locating and recruiting students from immigrant and refugee populations that do not always believe people with disabilities can become literate and productive citizens, locating and recruiting appropriately trained volunteer tutors, and matching students with tutors.

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!

Technology, Pedagogy, and Transformation in Theological Education - 1 views

  •  
    This is a multi-authored article that appeared in the journal Teaching Theology and Religion. I participated in the composition but the reason I am posting it is not my own little section on multi-sensory imagery but rather the part by Russell Haitch which discusses long distance education in the New Testament--the Apostle Paul to be specific. Haitch (as I recall) makes a good case that examples like this one show that one really communicate effectively and passionately, from a long distance, for the purpose of educational transformation. So, if you look at this, zero in on Haitch's case study.
