A game engaging the players into TPACK by doing.  It seems like I know this game before but how? :)

The San Diego Unified School District (SDUSD) has embraced TPACK in its professional development model. They decided to integrate the model in every aspect of classroom teaching and learning.

A brief and engaging explanation of TPACK.

GraphoGame based on the scientific follow-up study of Finnish children at familial risk for dyslexia. It's effiicent in instructing children's literacy skills.

The first graduate program in the United States about Neuroscience and education.

Assessment of CSCL One of the messy part of CSCL is its assessment. It involves multiple processes and outcomes at multiple levels by multiple agents. This paper provides a roadmap for the role and application of intelligent tools for monitoring and assessment of (CS)CL.

A sample of CSCL environment using a typewith.me

A useful webpage offering a wide range sources of DBR such as book chapters, articles, design templates, social media links etc.

Many sample design projects for "learning by design".

I know it is too weird to read a sentence like "The decade of Design Thinking is ending and I, for one, am moving on to another conceptual framework: Creative Intelligence, or CQ." before the week dedicated to investigate design thinking. Bruce Nussbaum, the author of the sentence above, introduces a new dimension.

A very good website explaining the main features of design thinking and providing samples and toolkits for "design thinking". You can sign up for free to download design thinking toolkit which helps you to design a project.

Excuse me for revealing the source of the "discussion question 1". Please forgive me if I made a mistake but I didn't know discussion questions for this week. :)

A brief explanation of design thinking.

A webpage explaining a general overview of theories related to learning and motivation. You can scroll down to see the animation explaining the balance between skills and challenges. 

What happens when somebody is encouraged by positive reinforcement and discouraged by negative one?

The use of big datasets is not just to measure the students' progress but also to shape it.

Learning analytics (LA). Is it something we do to students, rather than do for them or do with them?

A website for almost everything about learning analytics. Research, conferences, journals, news, groups etc. A well-prepared presentation by Alyssa Wise is also presented in the page. A good summary about learning analytics.

When situated learning theory (SLT) is investigated, it can be seen that most of the articles or documents mention learning by doing within an actual context. The first thing that comes to mind is the real world environment while someone mentions the SLT. What if we want to form a "legitimate peripheral participation" environment to learn a concept by the boundaries of online platforms? How can we design online platforms by using situated learning theory?
