Decoding Digital Pedagogy, pt. 1: Beyond the LMS | Digital Pedagogy | HYBRID PEDAGOGY - 2 views

  • The LMS was not a creative decision, it was not pushing the capabilities of the Internet, it was settling for the least innovative classroom practice and repositioning that digitally. As a result classes taught within its structure generally land with a dull thud. No matter how creative and inspired the teacher or pedagogue behind the wheel, the LMS is no match for the wideness of the Internet. It was born a relic -- at its launch utterly irrelevant to its environment and its user.
  • The LMS largely erased mindfully aware teaching, and made excuses for unconscionable practice.

  • The current university system is increasingly out of touch with student needs, and the entrenched players in an industry will always be too married to the old way of thinking to disrupt themselves - it takes outsiders to make it happen.

Free Technology for Teachers: How to Set Expiration Dates for Shared Google Drive Folders - 4 views

  •  
    In this post, Byrne suggested, "Rather than trying to remember when to revoke access to the folder, you could use the Auto-Expire script to set an expiration date for your shared folders" (2013.01.25, para 1). He displayed a Tekzilla Daily video from which he "learned about the script", and also point out a Digital Inspiration blog post that provides instructions as well.

MOOCs: What Part of Learning Goes on Where and How? - 3 views

  • I like the idea that really good teachers could be challenged to change the way they think about learning and put their talents to work finding new ways to structure learning environments that can handle the ever-expanding population of students with widely varying backgrounds.
  • information is not synonymous with understanding, and delivery is not synonymous with education
  • Learning means focusing attention on the key concepts in a topic.
  • ...10 more annotations...
  • Learning means making connections with a learner’s prior knowledge.
  • Learning means actively processing the incoming information, digesting it, working with it, summarizing, paraphrasing, applying it.
  • Learning also requires that the learners’ attempts receive guiding feedback.
  • There are ways of providing electronic feedback to this kind of active learning. Our solution was to provide examples of answers that would fit the task and let the learners compare theirs. Not totally satisfying and sometimes not totally accurate.
  • One is the “community of learners”
  • possibilities
  • a more elaborate version of peer feedback, where the large group of learners respond to one another’s ideas in hopes of finding some kind of consensus.
  • I think this probably works in an informed community of participants where there is a distribution of prior knowledge that can be drawn on.
  • I think a community of novices still needs the guidance of a more informed individual or group of individuals.
  • the essence of deep learning is in the interaction with others as we grapple with what we think we know versus what we really know. That’s the kind of online learning I’d like to see us build.
  •  
    Svinicki posits what learning means, and the kinds of guided feedback necessary, especially for "deep learning . . . [through] interaction with others as we grapple with what we think we know versus what we really know" (¶8).

Do Teaching Online & Face-to-Face Classes Require Different Skills? - 2 views

  •  
    Can a teacher use the same teaching techniques in a face-to-face and an online course? According to a study conducted by Park, Johnson, Vath, Kubitskey, & Fishman (2013) on Examining the Roles of the Facilitator in Online and Face-to-Face Professional Development Contexts (Journal of Technology and Teacher Education, 21(2), 225-245), teachers need to cater to individual learners more online than face-to-face. In the face-to-face environments, students learn from each other and from the teacher. In the face-to-face class, the teacher is able to summarize the information for the students and get feedback from the students body language on how well they understood the information. In the online class, the teacher only knows whether the students understood or not from their writing. Teaching online requires that the teacher be very attentive and aware of the student's individual interests, needs, and level of understanding.
