3. How do you justify that?
“All my readings are online.”
“All my lectures are online.”
“I collect all my assignments
online.”
“I do all my discussions
online.”
“I give all my exams online.”
“Class meetings are online.”
4. “It’s a quality course.”
Assessed by internal standards (peer review, etc.)
Assessed by an external body (Quality Matters or
similar)
Consistently gets good student evaluations
8. The SAMR model
Developed by Dr. Ruben Puentedura in 2006 in
collaboration with the Maine Department of
Education’s Learning Technology Initiative
Provides a framework for selecting, using and
evaluating educational technologies
12. Crossing the line
Not technology enhancement, but technology-reliant
The task is not the medium; the task is the
experience
Fear not! Most of what you do will still remain at the
lowest two levels
Think big picture: how will they demonstrate their
knowledge?
13. Modification
Collaborative assignments
via wikis or blogs
Rich media, GPS
information, etc. in writing
assignments
Google Earth layers for
geographic research
14. Redefinition
Narrative assignments on
video
Field work with mobile
devices
Research on international
issues in real time
collaboration with
international students
15. Example: the typical research
paper
The olden days: students write or type a physical copy to hand in
Substitution: students receive an assignment online, and submit a
typed paper
Augmentation: students receive and submit a typed paper online,
where it can be graded through an online tool
Modification: students work collaboratively on research and writing
through a wiki or similar tool and submit their work for peer review
Redefinition: students create a short film; the research provides the
script, which is written collaboratively and shared online
17. In your course
Make the online medium work for you with
enhancements
The basic materials will probably always be S or A
What technologies can you leverage to produce a
transformation?
Focus on the most summative assignments
18. A moving target
SAMR evolves with the technology
What used to be M or R won’t always be!
Example: synchronous online classes
