Sloan-C OTC January 2011 Cohort

This might be an alternative to facebook. Looks like it would do the same things but allow privacy.

Responding to discussion posts and other forms of student work.

Ning site by Penn State on managing online workload.

This site has some useful rubrics for evaluating discussion, both teacher led and student led. My mentor brought this site to my attention.

Video talking about classroom FLIP where students watch videos for homework, work on traditional homework in classroom under direction of teacher. Khan Academy video.

Great site explaining the issues associated with accessibility. It explains how people with different disabilities use the Web. It also has design tips for making one's site more accessible.

Video on art gen ed course that uses Voice Thread to discuss and analyze works of art.

Site devoted to authentic assessment developed by Jon Mueller.

This is a link from Online Teaching Tips (Sarah posted below). It is the resource page. Thought it useful to post here because it has links to open source university content (lectures and online material from several universities) and links to sites to create interesting course banners, etc.

Link from Sloan-C course on authentic assessment and the creation of rubrics.

Humanities, Arts, Science, Technology consortium--conference upcoming at University of Michigan-- for anyone interested...

Great group collaboration tool. Allows students, colleagues, etc. to add their picture and voice to comment, leave a message, assess a painting, etc. The website will spark all kinds of ideas. Students really like this and think it's cool. Have used it record Elevator Speeches in an online grad class.

Article that describes a wiki and one is used for a variety of projects. I got this article from Jeradi Cohen's post on Web 2.0 tools.

This blog is an interview with Stewart Mader who writes extensively about uses of wikis in education and in the business world. He offers numerous educational uses for wikis in the classroom.

Chapter from a book that has an instructor work through a series of exercises to develop online instruction that adheres to best practices. Examples are taken from Nursing.

This is an web-based authoring tool that allows one to create an interactive lesson, and export it as a SCORM 2004 or SCORM 1.2 object which can be imported into a LMS. One can add a variety of media such as voice, text, video, and still images. One can also import a PowerPoint presentation. An interesting feature is that one can intersperse assessment screens to check student learning. Assessments can be graded or non-graded.

Great tips for teaching online. I especially liked the icebreaker activities to use on the first day of class.
