    This web article looks at the question of how can we enable students to construct knowledge and demonstrate higher order thinking skills online? The authors provide a helpful critique of superficial attempts to build sustainable online communities for example where LMS's are used for the transmission of content in higher education and do not allow students to build knowledge or engage in higher order thinking.

    Would a certain stage of online communities building allow us to use Instagram? Having in mind that we are all different some of us who are visual types might even like a photo from time to time instead of several dozen lines of text.

100 + activities for motivating and retaining online learners - 6 views

    Great practical resources and ideas from Curtis Bonk et al

    I found this book the best single piece of information I have read throughout the course on online learning. I really like the fact that it has practical examples and ideas for a wide range of activities and learning outcomes. In my view that's refreshing because I think that the education literature can become sometimes too theoretical and abstract, elaborating on abstract descriptions of what and why should be done, but leaves you on your own when it comes to practical implementation of all the principles. I think that this is a great source of both theoretical and practical information on online learning.
  •  
    Neal, I plan to check this when putting foundations to my Project design.
  •  
    thanks Neal - I like the look of this one too - I am looking at motivation in my project so this might well be of use.
