Revisiting the Community of Inquiry Framework: July 9-22, 2012 - 1 views

  •  
    Revisiting the Community of Inquiry Framework: July 9-22, 2012 Facilitators:  Cindy Xin and  Sarah Haavind Since its original publication, Garrison, Anderson and Archer's (2000) "Critical Inquiry in A Text-based Environment: Computer Conferencing in Higher Education" has inspired a great many researchers and advanced our understanding of online learning and online education. In recent years, a number of reviews of the Community of Inquiry framework (CoI) have been published, including, Garrison and Arbaugh's (2007), Swan and Ice (2010). Cindy Xin, author of a recently-published critique (Xin, 2012) will be with us to explain her argument and, together with Sarah Haavind, facilitate a discussion reconsidering the CoI and its recent reviews and critiques. By provoking new thoughts and possibly constructing new theories and methods, we hope to further our understanding of online discussion in particular, and online education in general.

Salman Khan: Let's use video to reinvent education | Video on TED.com - 1 views

  •  
    Salman Khan talks about how and why he created the remarkable Khan Academy, a carefully structured series of educational videos offering complete curricula in math and, now, other subjects. He shows the power of interactive exercises, and calls for teachers to consider flipping the traditional classroom script -- give students video lectures to watch at home, and do "homework" in the classroom with the teacher available to help.

Online Conferences: Professional ... - Google Books - 0 views

  •  
    Anderson and Anderson (2010) characterize online continuing professional education (CPE) conferences as "structured, time[-]delineated" events involving "distributed population[s]" in synchronous or asynchronous use of "online communication and collaboration tools" (p. 15). They suggest that these characteristics may enhance "both the quantity and quality of interaction" in formal CPE sessions, thanks to possibilities for preliminary access to conference materials, world-wide participation, and asynchronous as well as real-time interpersonal engagements (p. 22), which in turn may promote constructivist and connectivist modes of learning within professional communities of practice (pp. 7-10).

Pedagogical roles for video in online learning - 2 views

  •

  •  
    "When the iPad was first announced I posted some brief thoughts about its potential for education. Since then, it's been released and I've had the chance to spend some time playing with one. It's been an opportunity to see to what extent the device itself and the software available would be a useful tool for supporting the work of teachers and lecturers."
