Colleges prepare to sacrifice the queen | Bryan Alexander - 2 views
-
"To repeat: I do not see the queen sacrifice as a desirable move for American higher education. I do not relish the reduction of programs, nor the devastation inflicted on the lives of faculty. But this seems to be a strategy colleges and universities can choose in our current climate, and we must discuss it openly."

"The site provides science students and educators, at levels from kindergarten to college, with a free online space to create, collaborate and share their own digital drawings, Wang says. It initially was inspired by Frankel's Picturing to Learn project, where MIT and Harvard undergraduates majoring in science created drawings to explain scientific phenomena to high school students, according to Wang. Excited about the potential for drawing as a tool for students and science enthusiasts in and out of the classroom, Wang saw an opportunity in that space to infuse new energy and greater creativity into science education, he said."

Do I Own My Domain If You Grade It? | EdSurge News - 3 views
-
"This past year, Davidson College introduced "A Domain of One's Own" to a portion of the student body through faculty willing to use it in their teaching. I saw two styles of 'Domains' rise out of the initiative. The first type of 'Domain' took audience into account, considering the implications of public scholarship, representation, and student agency. The second, in many ways, mirrored the traditional pedagogical structure by assigning papers or short answer assignments to be posted online through blogs. This is not necessarily bad, but also doesn't necessarily empower. The problems with the second approach can be wrapped up into two key questions beginning with: Why post an assignment online if…"

Also related to the distinction between having an eportfolio program and creating a domain of one's own; very different creatures that sometimes get discussed as if they're the same thing.

The purpose of this study was to examine instructor performance, which might reflect the quality of instruction in regards to online class size. Instructor performance was measured through peer reviews of online faculty in the areas of: fostering critical thinking, providing instructive feedback, maintaining high expectations, establishing relationships, and exemplifying instructor expertise. Class size was defined as the number of students still enrolled at the end of the course
"I want to break free." | More or Less Bunk - 0 views

"I'm blaming the people who've decided that the lack of a single online system is a problem that somehow needs to be fixed - as if having a hundred professors teaching the same subject a hundred different ways was a problem that they ever would have thought of fixing during the pre-Internet age. Well, I want to break free, and I think that it's best for education if as many other faculty members as possible break free with me. "
Tracing Successful Online Teaching in Higher Education - 3 views
-
"The findings of this study indicated that when teachers described their successful practices, they often linked them to their changing roles and new representation of their "selves" within an online environment. Their portrayal of the teacher self, both built on a plethora of previous experiences and reformed with the affordances and limitations of the online environment, went through a process whereby teachers were constantly challenged to make themselves heard, known, and felt by their students. This study showed that it was critical to listen to teachers' voices and give them a participatory role in the creation and use of their knowledge and experience in order to form their online teacher personas. As a result, programs that prepare faculty to teach online may need to encourage teachers to reflect on their past experiences, assumptions, and beliefs toward learning and teaching and transform their perspectives by engaging in pedagogical inquiry and problem solving."

Maybe this is a framework/concept for doing some of the ALT Lab documentation. It mixes tutorial/tool guide/example in a way that works pretty well.

I like this concept we can show examples of various interesting things faculty are doing and explain the creation process. That way faculty work is always at the forefront of what we do
