Say What?!? Ensuring Everyone has a Voice during Online Course DiscussionsPatrick Lowenthal
Whether your issue is engaging quieter students, or limiting verbose, overbearing students, the bottom line is the same -- a discussion is not a discussion unless everyone contributes, or has the opportunity to contribute. Striving for balanced voices is an important instructional goal in online course discussions. Discussion protocols are one way to ensure that there is time and space for everyone to contribute to a discussion. Discussion protocols provide prescriptive guidelines for structuring, facilitating, and engaging in group-based discussions, empowering all participants to have a voice and speak their minds. During this presentation, we will share foundational guidelines for online course discussions, and explore several discussion protocols for creating online discussions in which students have equitable, respectful, and meaningful opportunities to contribute and learn via their participation

Pearson CiTE 2011 - Things i've learned in my online course so farPatrick Lowenthal
A few years ago, renowned graphic designer and typographer Stefan Sagmeister shared his list of 20 things he had learned in his life so far, such as “Helping other people helps me,” “Assuming is stifling,” and “Having guts always works out for me.” Stefan’s list inspired us to create a list of things we have learned in our online courses so far. During this session, we will share our top 10 lessons learned with examples from our online courses. We will then involve the audience in guided brainstorming to determine 10 additional lessons learned that should be included in the list.
On September 17th 2015, I presented a 'User Research: Prep & Practice' workshop at NUXUK (Northern User Experience) in Newcastle. The 1hr session consisted of basic tips and introductions into why, how, where, what if etc. This was followed by providing example topics to brainstorm themes around questioning. Next I showed a selection of example questions to help give steer into how to write good & open interview questions. Then there was time to refine ideas into questions & a first-draft script. We then pilot-tested the scripts by mixing up groups. Finally I wrapped up with tips on what to do with all the data once the interviews have been completed. There is also some useful links to further reading.
AECT 2011 - "Once upon a time...": What students stories tell us about good i...Patrick Lowenthal
Each semester, our students tell stories about their best learning experiences and analyze those stories to identify common themes. From this activity we generate a list of common instructional strategies to guide our assessments throughout the remainder of the course. In this session, we present the results of this assignment as a series of case stories. We will focus on what students discover and the resulting instructional design guidelines that inform their practice (and ours).

This slide show looks at how students accessed audio content for an undergraduate course at Rutgers University. The course was in Community Resource Management in the Department of Psychiatric Rehabilitation, offered in Moodle.
This presentation accompanies a webinar by Victor Ngobeni from Microsoft, South Africa. In the webinar Victor says, "“In this webinar, I would like to focus how Technology and Pedagogy mix as one of the units of the Teaching with Technology course, but I want to do this rather differently in a way of making it more interactive. I would like to make sure that the participants share strategies/ideas amongst each other of how they are able to “marry” the methods that they are using in the classroom with the relevant technology tools."
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

• Finland is consistently one of the highest performing
developed countries on the Program for International
Student Assessment (PISA), an important tool for
measuring educational systems worldwide. There are
several reasons why Finland’s educational system
succeeds. One of the typical features in Finland is that
all teachers must get a master’s degree in education or
in their field of practice. The level of education of
teachers ensures that they are good at what they do in
the classroom and also that they understand how
teaching and learning in their school can be improved.
What is the educational system in your country like?
(Tram Nguyen – Education)
5. Conversation Starters (130A)
• Technology plays a big role in our lives. As
students, we depend on it in certain ways. We
use it every day to complete tasks. From
checking emails and doing homework to gaining
information. We take many information from the
internet, which is type of technology, to support
our knowledge. For example, I take my fitness
information from the internet. What kind of
information do you usually get from the internet?
and does it support your knowledge? Why/why
not?
• (Faisal A, Software Engineering)
6. Conversation Starters 130B
• Today, the connections between different countries are
increasing . Contact between people is occurring more
and more. However, there are still many barriers
between individuals who come from different countries
and speak different languages. So people need methods
to bridge the gap between different languages and
cultures. Do you think that all people in the world using a
common language in the future would be a good idea?
Why/why not?
• (Juan, Business)
7. Conversation Starter 130B
• As a humanities major, you'll gain the
ability to reason critically, communicate
effectively, and make connections across
broad fields of knowledge. Nowadays,
people believe women and men should
have equal rights. However, people often
say that ladies should go first. How do you
think having a “Ladies first” mentality
affects gender equally?
• (Steven, Undecided)
8. Choosing a PSU Class
• Check each other’s classes…
– Do you have 3 classes?
– Have you collected all of the necessary
information for the 3 classes?
– Do all of the classes meet at a time other than
during the time when IECP classes meet?
– What are the classes that you are interested
in observing? Why did you choose them?
10. Note Taking for Extra Credit
• The 3 most organized and comprehensive
notes = 3 points of extra credit
• Note categories:
comprehension, classroom environment,
academic interactions, and personal
reflection
13. Discussion analysis
• How did the two presentations compare to
each other?
• What did you see in the presentations that
you might want to do in your presentation?
• What did you see in the presentations the
you might NOT want to do in your
presentation?
14. Presentation Tips
• In your group, make a list of 5
presentation tips and 5 things to avoid in
presentations. Then you can share your
ideas with the class.
• Tips Things to Avoid
15. HW
• Set up your class observation
