"Three Generations of Distance Education Pedagogy"

Excellent view of pedagogy over the development of online education.

This is the article I found to use in my Discussion forum assignment for Mod 2. I will be discussing the uses of Facebook in class.

This is an edited book that discusses emerging approaches to online teaching and learning long with various pedagogies for developing and using online teaching materials. The contributors to the book were participants at a seminar in Middlesex University in London.

for >20/mont an organization like Fanshawe can access information pertaining to the development of online pedagogy.

Abstract In something of a landmark for education Knowles (1970) suggested an important change in the way in which educational experiences for adults should be designed. The approach, known as andragogy, contrasts quite sharply with pedagogy which is the teaching of children. This paper suggests there is benefit in moving from andragogy towards truly self-determined learning. The concept of truly self-determined learning, called heutagogy, builds on humanistic theory and approaches to learning described in the 1950s. It is suggested that heutagogy is appropriate to the needs of learners in the twenty-first century, particularly in the development of individual capability. A number of implications of heutagogy for higher education and vocational education are discussed. top Heutagogy

A survey of literature regarding use of Twitter in the higher education classroom finds substantial support and good advice regarding its usefulness in pedagogy. More research is needed to determine if Twitter can affect active learning, class participation, and learning outcomes.

This paper explains very clearly the meaning of multiliteracies and multimodality. In education this pedagogy brought new teaching and learning methods which are different from traditional approaches that focused on monomodal tools for learning. Multiliteracy gives flexibility in teaching and learning. Students learn in different ways, some of them prefer linguistic expression while others are more open to multimodal forms.

Whoo Hoo! I made it in. I feel like I belong to something! All kidding aside, this list describes the characteristics we need to be successful online learners and what qualities our students need to remain successful in our classes. Like the facilitator, the online student possesses unique qualities. The online students of today consist primarily of working people who are trying to better their opportunities. This however is changing, as more and more young and older people become aware of the online model.

A new study argues that American academic institutions expect a level of independence that is uncomfortable for many first-generation college students, who researchers say are more likely to come from poorer backgrounds that emphasize collaboration and interdependence.

tools and constructivism

Love that the "practical descriptions of constructivist learning" listed in the article "[C]onstructivist learning should engage students in meaningful learning and ... the critical features are that the learning should be ... * Active and manipulative, engaging students in interactions and explorations with learning materials and provid[ing] opportunities for them to observe the results of their manipulations * Constructive and reflective, enabling students to integrate new ideas with prior knowledge to make meaning and enable learning through reflection * Intentional, providing opportunities for students to articulate their learning goals and monitor their progress in achieving them * Authentic, challenging and real-world (or simulated), facilitating better understanding and transfer of learning to new situations * Cooperative, collaborative, and conversational, providing students with opportunities to interact with each other to clarify and share ideas, to seek assistance, to negotiate problems, and discuss solutions."
