Evidence of Learning Online: Assessment Beyond The Paper -- Campus Technology - 0 views

  • Blogs Blogs are a very underutilized writing space. Blogs share many characteristics with journals and thus can capture snapshots of what learners are thinking, and when; plus they often can also capture the sources of some of their thinking. Blogs help learners understand the growth cycle of learning new concepts and how and why they think the way they do. Here are some ideas on how blogs, both personal and class, might be used. · Personal commentary and self-reflection · Capturing thought processes and generating new ideas · Assist learners in finding their “voice” · Places for collegial commenting and suggestion · Making thinking visible: analysis, synthesis, application

    This wiki is a resource collection place for Nancy White, Full Circle Associates and an adjunct to the Online Facilitation list on Yahoogroups, founded in August 1999. Consider it a general playground around online facilitation and online community work. When I can, I will do client work here openly that may be useful to others. Consider it a shared resource. Feel free to add other categories.

Connected Learning: A New Research-Driven Initiative « User Generated Education - 0 views

  •  
    Overview of a program looking at connected learning describing a "gap between the more engaging social learning environments young people encounter outside of school, and the top-down and standardized curriculum that they encounter in most classrooms." It's much more communal and participation-oriented than the approach I take, promoting:  -- "Equity - when educational opportunity is available and accessible to all young people, it elevates the world we all live in.  -- Full Participation - learning environments, communities, and civic life thrive when all members actively engage and contribute.  -- Social connection - learning is meaningful when it is part of valued social relationships and shared practice, culture, and identity."  While I value both creativity and participation, I think it's important to allow that more or less participation are equally valuable. And I don't agree that "shared" practice, culture, and identity is essential.
