Good find! The co-construction point is key for me. Several other good tips/reminders.

Appears to be a nice little tool to use along with Latist for our ITL session?

Could you hear the audio of the tutorial of RadioJames Objectives Builder ? I could not.

I like this instructional design website because it covers many subject areas and puts everything in a little package for reference.

Utah Module Planner Tool - very useful at first sight. See video link below or in other bookmark http://fact.usu.edu/files/uploads/PDFCSB_v1.pdf

I guess you have to join Diigo to get the minimal bookmark tool to work in your browser.  But you don't have to work your library if you don't want, ey.

"Main | My Life As An Annoying Sociologist or How I learned to Love Talking About Race » Grading Group Work Effectively DateSunday, December 11, 2011 at 8:23PM Students hate group projects because… wait for it… students hate students. That's right, students hate one another, but only when their fates are intertwined. Weak excuses, blown meetings, unrealistic expectations, and ridiculous requests for hand holding from students[1], these are the things that we as teachers deal with on a regular basis, but students are not accustomed to this side of their compatriots. But here's the strange part, while students may hate group work and freeloading students, they will almost never do anything about it. For the longest time I'd have my students evaluate one another after a project using a 1 to 10 point rating scale. Then after a few semesters of getting nearly all 10s most of the time I came to my senses. I mean, even students who passionately complained about their group mates, would give straight 10s to their freeloading peers. To negatively impact a classmate's grade is apparently akin to snitching for many students. So how do you hold students accountable for their contributions and promote a good collaborative process? A well designed assessment helps. Below I describe the assessment I use in my classes which you can download here. 1. Rank Your Peers Asking students to rate each other doesn't work because giving a 10 to a freeloading student doesn't harm anyone. However, if you ask students to rank each group member in order of their contribution you can force students to be more honest. I've found students struggle with ranking students in the middle (i.e. who should be 3rd and who should be 4th), but ranking the most valueable contribtuion and the least is relatively easy. So keep that in mind when reviewing student's assessments 2. I Statements Sometimes the distance between the greatest contribution and the smallest is really not that va

I heard they released an updated version of audacity a little while back and meant to announce this but it would make for a good item on Joe or others tech gadgets post?

They jumped to version 2.0 in March; changes here (http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/features-2.0). It's pretty terrific to be honest- much more intuitive interface. On a somewhat related note, VLC media player (http://www.videolan.org/news.html) hit 1,000,000,000 (billion with a B) downloads this week. :)

A practical guide for teaching faculty about teaching online.

I have obtained Ko and Rossen's books 2008 and 2010. The latter edition is more useful and comes with this resources site. The online guide link contains a PDF list of very useful resources to provide to faculty on our website or in our community site. We can link to it or obtain permission - I'll bet.

Nice resource to use or emulate
