    Seretta picked FirstClass to serve as the school's unified messaging and collaboration solution. Accustomed to paper and more traditional means of communication, many staff members and faculty were reluctant to embrace the new system. Seretta didn't give in. "We went from zero to 90 percent adoption within three months, so there was no time for hand wringing or debate," said Seretta. "We simply said no more paper, unless it involved internal documents that require signatures."

  • simulating traditional face-to-face classroom methods using asynchronous online learning simply misses the point that we are operating in a new medium with unique properties. 
  • have both interaction and independence. Not long ago it was impossible to have both; more of one meant less of the other.
  • we identify connectivity and asynchronicity as the core properties of online learning, and which have the potential to create a uniquely effective higher-order learning environment. 
  • ...13 more annotations...
  • focus must be on the cognitive aspects of the educational process if quality learning outcomes are to be the result.
  • integrate the interactive and reflective characteristics to enhance cognitive presence beyond that in even small face-to-face groups.
  • little progress has been made in understanding cognitive presence and higher-order learning effectiveness online
  • asynchronous online learning context, there are two properties– reflection and collaboration – that shape cognitive presence in ways unique to this medium.

      If a deep and meaningful learning outcome is the goal of an educational experience, then an understanding of cognitive presence is a priority.

      In an asynchronous online learning context, there are two properties- reflection and collaboration - that shape cognitive presence in ways unique to this medium.

      In contrast to the spontaneous verbal communication of face-to-face learning contexts, asynchronous learning:
      Provides time to reflect,Permanent and precise nature of communication requires reflection,Reflection is used to interpret and construct meaning.
  • In contrast to the spontaneous verbal communication of face-to-face learning contexts, the asynchronous and largely written communication of asynchronous online learning would appear to provide the conditions that encourage if not require reflection.
  • reflection to interpret and construct meaning
  • It is important to understand the natural cycle of the learning process to effectively regulate the learning process.

      Dewey (1933)
      The natural cycle of the learning process:
      Perception of a need or problem. Exploration for relevant knowledge, (2.5?) constructing a meaningful explanation or solution. Resolving the dissonance through action.
  • Learning was inducing reflection through questions and actively monitoring this inquiry for the purpose of achieving understanding.
  • two dimensions that shape the practical inquiry model
  • deliberation-action and perception-conception

      The deliberation-action axis defines the reflection and collaboration properties of asynchronous learning.

      This process iterates between thought and action, and unifies the private and public worlds of inquiry.

      Perception-conception operates at the interface of these two worlds.
  • describes the process of creating meaning from experience and the process of creating cognitive presence. 
  • emphasis is on the generation of knowledge and less so on the control of learning activities
  • assume greater control of monitoring and managing the cognitive and contextual aspects of their learning.

    one of the most profoundly important articles I have read recently. "For educators and the schools in which they teach, the challenges of this moment are significant. Our ability to learn whatever we want, whenever we want, from whomever we want is rendering the linear, age-grouped, teacher-guided curriculum less and less relevant. "

    The Effective Professional Learning Communities project is a study of effective professional learning communities in schools and of how they are created and sustained. It is an exciting, new, collaborative venture between the Universities of Bristol and Bath and the Institute of Education, University of London, which is funded by the Department for Education and Skills (DfES), General Teaching Council for England (GTC) and the National College for School Leadership (NCSL)

    The term professional learning community has become quite commonplace in education circles. The term describes a collegial group who are united in their commitment to an outcome. In the case of education, the commitment would be to student learning. The community engages in a variety of activities including sharing a vision, working and learning collaboratively, visiting and observing other classrooms, and participating in shared decision making. The benefits of professional learning community to educators and students include reduced isolation of teachers, better informed and committed teachers, and academic gains for students. Shirley Hord of the Southwest Educational Development Laboratory says, that as an organizational arrangement, the professional learning community is seen as a powerful staff-development approach and a potent strategy for school change and improvement.
