  • the default "egg" on Twitter and silhouette Facebook. The default says: “I can’t be bothered to upload an image.
  • But when somebody has an image that is not an actual photo of them, I hesitate and usually do not connect. Why are they hiding? Why use a dog or flower or building, or famous person, or logo instead?

    RoboBraille is an email service which can convert digital text documents into either Braille or audio files. It is quick and easy to use RoboBraille. You simply send an email with an attached text document to the specific RoboBraille e-mail account that suits your needs. Or you can upload your file by using our web interface. Both ways you will receive the document back from RoboBraille in the specified format - an audio file, for example. You do not need to install expensive and complicated software on your computer to use RoboBraille. It is free for non-commercial users to use RoboBraille. Many RoboBraille users are visually impaired or dyslexic individuals who use the email service for work, study or past-time activities. RoboBraille has also been taken on by teachers, commuters and other users who can benefit from accessing digital text documents in alternative formats.

  • Modeling -- involves an expert's carrying out a task so that student can observe and build a conceptual model of the processes that are required to accomplish the task. For example, a teacher might model the reading process by reading aloud in one voice, while verbalizing her thought processes (summarize what she just read, what she thinks might happen next) in another voice. Coaching - consists of observing students while they carry out a task and offering hints, feedback, modeling, reminders, etc. Articulation - includes any method of getting students to articulate their knowledge, reasoning, or problem-solving processes. Reflection - enables students to compare their own problem-solving processes with those of an expert or another student. Exploration - involves pushing students into a mode of problem solving on their own. Forcing them to do exploration is critical, if they are to learn how to frame questions or problems that are interesting and that they can solve (Collins, Brown, Newman, 1989, 481-482).

  • If the course designers feel that the best instructional materials are online versions of traditional textbooks, that's fine. Or they can use a smorgasbord of teaching modules and exercises developed by other open-learning projects, such as those created by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Carnegie Mellon University. Interactive-learning Web sites and even instructional videos on YouTube are also perfectly acceptable resources.
  • Traditional textbook publishers, which now promote e-textbooks, aren't the solution, insisted David Lippman, who teaches math at Pierce College and is a self-confessed open-source purist. "I find the publishers' online offerings nothing more than the old ancillaries they've always offered bundled up in a proprietary system," he said.
  • Maybe we collectively need a Sociology 101 textbook (with all of the supplemental materials included). Ohio (or Washington or Texas or Florida) releases an RFP for the creation of a "Sociology 101" textbook. Maybe you win the bid ... maybe Pearson wins the bid. The difference is, the publisher does not own the copyright - the State of Ohio owns the copyright - and chooses to share that textbook with everyone with a CC BY license. Everyone can now use / modify the open textbook, Ohio has saved a bunch of money for its students, so did other states / countries, and the publisher still had an income stream.

  • What is most important is that we collectively get to high quality, multi-format (digital web, mobile, print-on-demand), accessible, affordable educational instructional materials. Creating and maintaining those materials is expensive, and no one is going to do it for free - nor should they. What I'm suggesting is higher education teaches roughly the same top 100 highest enrolled courses... the same can be said of K-12. As such, there is an historical opportunity to share - using creative commons licensing - the digital courses and textbooks we all need. Yes - we all teach / build courses slightly differently ... and open licensing allows anyone to make changes to fit local needs.
