Varied case studies on blended learning

The Spring 2014 issue of this bi-annual e-learning journal published by the Learning and Teaching Institute at the University of Hertfordshire contains useful research on the educational use of blogs and wikis and the use of quizzes for formative assessment.

This blog post on Ebbinghaus' theory of memory and learning is one of a series by Steve Wheeler summarising influential learning theories. Each post offers a nice clear summary and provides further references if you want to dig deeper.

The paper was written for an academic conference and the proposed storytelling model is underpinned by high quality scholarship and research supporting the premise that digital storytelling can be used effectively in designing online courses.

Queen Mary carried out a useful survey on their students' experience of their Moodle VLE in 2012/13. This report is very detailed and thorough. It covers many similar issues to those we have faced at City University and many of the learning points and recommendations are relevant to us.

Thank you so much for sharing this resource. As I plan to do something along the lines of online Moodle module this is going to be very useful resource.

Highlights * We explore factors affecting students' engagement with Moodle and Facebook. * Students were not interested in using Moodle, yet active on Facebook. * We use Activity Theory as a lens for data interpretation. * Factors are categorized as technological, individual, and community levels.

Hello there, Thanks for sharing this Ivan - good one I hope I can effectively operationalize some ideas. Thanks Z

Interesting! As are a number of the papers suggested afterwards which I will bookmark too! As an aside you may be interested in the paper Cass Business School students present to the Moodle Research Conference last year: http://research.moodle.net/mod/data/view.php?d=7&rid=124 One point of interest I'm keen to follow is the possible rise in more student-led studies (at City?) - in this case, both surveying students and by students. I'm also interested in how we could look more at involving learners in the design process.

Insight in how the knowledge is former through interraction and added value from number of users. Rhizomatic learning which is "...[k]nowledge constructed by self-aware communities adapting to environmental conditions."

Annual report on education technology developments

Neil, thank you for sharing this resource. I am sure that other participants will find it useful in their studies. For me and having in mind my background I can see movement to "Data-Driven Learning and Assessment" and "Learning Analytics" as something happening in Aviation Safety already. There the intention is to be as proactive and hopefully predictive as possible. How about here?

Different elements of good communication nowadays and before. Do they apply the same way to onlinc communications as well?

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.
