This document summarizes a presentation on issues that can arise when transitioning a curriculum from face-to-face to online. It discusses problems with instructor readiness for online teaching and static online curricula. It provides strategies for addressing these issues, such as embracing new technologies gradually, determining learning outcomes, and incorporating different types of interactions. The presentation aims to provide information that leads to student satisfaction, retention, and learning.
Fostering interaction and engagement continues to be a primary concern in the digital classroom. This session explores two models of leveraging pedagogical support staff to improve course design as well as student retention, engagement, and performance. First, initially established at CU Boulder for talented students interested in STEM education, the Learning Assistant model hires undergraduates to assist faculty in redesigning and teaching courses. Second, the CU Denver School of Education and Human Development (SEHD) leverages graduate students from its own Instructional Learning Technologies (ILT) program to partner with faculty in co-constructing the online student experience. This session reveals how these partnerships encourage instructors to stretch their own ideas and notions, reexamine their courses, create alternative student spaces for learning, and emphasize collaboration.

The document emphasizes that good teaching, not the medium, facilitates learning in online environments.
Making On-line Teams Work (Jane Barrett)COHERE2012
This document discusses research into online teamwork among Open University students. It describes a study where 13 student volunteers were divided into online teams to complete collaborative tasks. Only 7 of the students actively participated by posting in forums and completing assignments. The moderator observed that team composition is important, as not all groups were able to work well together asynchronously. Students reported learning about both the benefits and challenges of online collaboration, but greater engagement from all students is needed. Effective online teamwork requires support from moderators to encourage participation and resolve issues.
The document discusses student preferences for learning environments and technology use based on two studies. The ECAR study found that 75% of students say technology helps them achieve academically and 70% learn most in blended environments. The PLU MISO study found 56% of students have laptops and that students want instructors who use technology and train them to use it. The document then discusses the benefits of blended learning, including improved instructional design, engagement, and learning opportunities. It summarizes a meta-analysis finding blended learning has advantages over fully online or face-to-face courses in areas like performance and satisfaction.
This document describes strategies for personalizing learning support in large chemistry classes through active learning techniques. It discusses using pre-lecture videos and quizzes to prepare students for class, worksheets and activities during lectures to actively engage students, and formative assessments to identify student misconceptions and target support. The approaches aim to improve learning outcomes by increasing interaction, breaking up long lectures, and personalizing support through diagnostic assessment data. Student comments indicate the techniques made them feel more prepared and engaged with the material. Assessment results show improved pass rates, higher-order thinking, and increased lecture attendance over time as the strategies were implemented.
Teaching Faculty Scholars, Building Professional Capacity Through Blended Lea...COHERE2012
This document describes a blended learning program called the Teaching Faculty Scholars Program at Vancouver Island University. The program aimed to build faculty members' professional capacity through a combination of online modules and face-to-face sessions throughout the year. Key elements of the program included online discussions, activities and reflections before each face-to-face session. The face-to-face sessions allowed participants to share their work and get feedback. Evaluations found that the blended approach helped build an online learning community and increased participants' confidence, enthusiasm and interest in scholarship of teaching and learning. However, maintaining participant engagement throughout the year-long program was challenging.

Social Presence, Learner Supports, and Assessment in Online ClassesLisa Crawford-Craft
This document discusses strategies for social presence, learner supports, collaboration, and assessment in online classes. It notes that over 6.7 million students took at least one online course in fall 2011. To establish social presence, the document recommends that instructors frequently engage and encourage learners through welcome emails, weekly messages, online office hours, and timely feedback. It also suggests using discussion boards and online meetings to build community. To support learners, the document provides examples of introducing learners to each other, sharing general course information and resources, and facilitating discussion boards. It concludes by presenting types of online assessments like tests, quizzes, projects, and rubrics to evaluate learners' understanding.
The three articles discuss:
1) Characteristics of successful online instructors, emphasizing the importance of being vocal.
2) Similarities between online and traditional course evaluations from students.
3) The validation of parental involvement measures in online schooling and how parental support is important for student success.
The document provides an overview of eLearning services at UNH including support for online, hybrid and traditional courses. It discusses services like instructional design support, Blackboard support and lecture capture software. Feedback from faculty who used eLearning services found interest in online teaching and benefits like increased enrollment. A summer distance learning pilot saw positive feedback from both students and faculty. The document also outlines a USNH Rich Media Project to develop resources like videos and podcasts to enhance courses across the university system. Plans are outlined to upgrade classrooms and media labs and hire staff to support rich media creation over 2010.
This document discusses using a blended learning approach with Adobe Connect to deliver lectures online to 130 students. Students accessed online lectures, podcasts, and discussion forums. Feedback from students was positive, with many praising the increased engagement and participation compared to traditional lectures. Being able to type comments and questions was seen as less intimidating. The blended approach was found to enhance the learning experience and provide greater access to students.

The document compares face-to-face and online learning. Face-to-face learning allows for immediate feedback and real-time human interaction, while online learning provides persistent access to materials and more flexibility. However, face-to-face can be rigidly scheduled and discussions may be forgotten, while online lacks immediacy and discussions may become chaotic. Blended learning combines the benefits of both approaches by retaining immediacy and dialogue from face-to-face, while allowing for the persistence, flexibility and rich media of online learning.
Development and Use of the Hybrid Learning Modelcies
1) The Hybrid Learning Model was developed to describe teaching and learning processes with a focus on the learner perspective. It combines elements from existing models into a set of flashcards that capture interactions and roles.
2) Initial evaluations found it provided practitioners with greater awareness of the learner role and expectations, and learners felt it helped them understand what was expected and adapt to new learning situations.
3) Future developments include a fully online version of the tool and expanding its uses, such as for student research or academic induction. Evaluations so far have been very positive.
The document discusses challenges in teaching and learning, including developing 21st century literacies among students and faculty, reaching today's learners, encouraging faculty adoption of new teaching technologies, and advancing innovation with technology during budget cuts. It also compares student test scores, participation, and outcomes between online and lecture classes, finding little difference in test scores but more participation in lectures, possibly because online students find communicating via technology more difficult. Finally, it discusses the effective use of podcasts to prompt discussion rather than replace lectures.
The document summarizes a study comparing student outcomes and experiences in kinesiology courses delivered in blended or fully online formats. Quantitative data found no significant differences in student grades or retention between the two delivery modes. Qualitatively, some students preferred the flexibility of online learning while others felt they learned better with face-to-face interaction and instruction. Instructors found blended courses required more work but provided the benefits of both online and in-person learning. Overall, the study was unable to determine conclusively whether one delivery mode was more effective than the other for all students.
Gerald Bergstrom implemented a blended biology course at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee to address large class sizes and expand flexible learning options. The course included weekly online lectures, quizzes, and discussions as well as in-person discussions, presentations, and exams. This blended approach provided similar success rates to the traditional face-to-face course with added flexibility for students and instructors. While the blended format resulted in some increased workload, benefits included engaging students collaboratively and providing feedback to improve learning. Future improvements may include accompanying reading assignments with voice-over presentations and using face-to-face time primarily for interactive learning activities.
Concordia University piloted a credit information literacy course for 800 "at-risk" students using Moodle to create a hybrid learning experience. Over two terms, 500 students took the course in the fall with positive feedback, and 200 students took it in the winter. Test scores showed an average 33% improvement in information literacy skills. Moving forward, the university aims to increase hands-on activities, student communication, and asynchronous e-learning in the course.

Your narrative was organized well and you addressed the needed content for this week’s assignment. The main challenge that remains is clarity in your problem statement and ensuring your design matches this. You appear to want to ‘prove’ true something you hope to be true – which really is not the point of research. I left several comments in the margins for your review, and let me know if you have questions on the feedback. Your grade is based on the NCU rubric as follows: Completes all required parts of the assignment, demonstrates some understanding of readings, uses mostly clear and effective expression appropriate to scholarly writing, and has few errors in grammar, mechanics, and APA formatting.

INTRODUCTION
When compared to traditional brick and mortar instruction and tutoring, the online academic programs are most effective, and they are working beyond then the just instructional technology. Well qualified tutors, perfect synchronization with modern technology, research based online environment, one to one and real time tutoring and there are several other attributes which make the online learning environment superior over the traditiona ...
This study explored blending synchronous and asynchronous learning in an online graduate course about online learning environments. The 15-week course included weekly asynchronous discussions and synchronous video meetings. Student reflection papers collected throughout the course showed that synchronous meetings provided a stronger sense of connection but required more structure from the instructor. The findings suggest that as online courses incorporate more synchronous tools, designers need to balance structure and flexibility to support diverse student experiences and identities. Universities also need more flexible approaches to online learning beyond traditional models. Overall, the study provided lessons for designing blended online courses that combine asynchronous and synchronous activities.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Hello & Welcome to our presentation of Elements of Online Curriculum & programs… What Can Go Wrong
This Presentation is designed to help your Government educational departments transition with the help of 2 Professionals!
A group project for Webster University’s EDTC 5840 Designing an online Curriculum coursework.
Click
CLICK You have been informed that your face-to-face training site CLICK and Training Manual CLICK is moving to an online learning environment. CLICK
This can be very problematic CLICK when it comes to Instructor CLICK Readiness & winding up with static curriculum. Let’s take a look at how we will be covering these problems with solutions!
SCRIPT: I’m Cynthia V. Anderson, with a masters in Communication Management,
I will be guiding you through transforming your static Curriculum to interactive experiences.
Lets Get Started With Caitlin’s Presentation!
.
Script: What can go Wrong? – A Static Online Curriculum. – The Solution is adding interactivity!“ CLICK
According to Muirhead,
“Interaction has a major impact on the quality of online learning CLICK is one of the most difficult aspects of education to build into an online class, CLICK
but it is also one of the most important.”
According to (Brown, 2001). CLICK
Interaction builds a sense of community among the students, CLICK Interaction exposes students to a variety of learning resources, including content materials and experiences shared by other students. CLICK
Interaction makes students become more actively engaged in the learning process, leading to higher levels of learning.
CLICK
Cynthia’s Script Your Problem: A Static Curriculum – Boring & Monotonous
This problem CLICK is what I CLICK call, THE VIEW MASTER EXPERIENCE. Click
Moore (1993) identified three types of interaction inherent in effective online courses: CLICK * Read & Click
Research studies on interactivity show that students have a real need to make connections with other students and with their instructors.
Lets get started implementing strategies for each interaction category in your online distance learning course.

Moore, M. G. (1993). Three types of interaction. In K. Harry, M. John & D. Keegan (Eds.), Distance education: New perspectives (pp. 12-24). London: Routlege.
My Script: Learner- Learner interaction results from students examining the course content and participating in class activities.
According to the Worchster Poly-Tek-Nic Institute, Learner-content interaction is the process of intellectually interacting with the content resulting in Changes
In the Learners Mind.
These changes CLICK include understanding, CLICK perspectives, and CLICK cognitive structures of a learner’s mind.”
As your student actively progresses through your curriculum one must Avoid 1 Type of Format Content
CLICK (don’t read benefit)
Click
Content that is presented primarily in one format, requires many students to learn in a format that does not meet their learning style. CLICK
Provide a mixture of delivery formats to meet multiple learning styles, such as combining text lectures with video clips.
Delivering content in multiple formats provides variety and eliminates monotony.
CLICK
My Script: One Example of learner- Content Interaction CLICK
Is to Provide Resource Links to Online Resources CLICK – CLICK
As your student progresses through the course, Resource Links CLICK Allows the Students to Explore the Topic more in Depth!
My Script: “Learner-instructor interaction is highly desirable as the instructor seeks to stimulate, or at least maintain, student interest in what is to be taught and to motivate the student to learn.” CLICK
By Using Conversational language, You are creating welcoming atmosphere. This type of interaction is CLICK
intended to reinforce student understanding of course materials CLICK
and provide the student with feedback. CLICK
An example of this type interaction is to WALK the Students Through your Syllabus with a Recorded Video . CLICK
An Accompanying video with your syllabus is a tool that builds a relationship between you as the instructor and the student while explaining expectations found in a Syllabus.
CLICK
My Script: “Learner-learner interaction is an extremely valuable resource for learning, and Moore (1993) emphasized the importance of students’ interaction with their peers in his work.
It Builds a strong sence of Community between the students Which proves them with a valuable resource- EACH Other!
CLICK
One Example is Student Introductions. CLICK Like This One!
Developing a participant introduction for their online course, This interaction will help students find others with similar backgrounds
and interests and leads to the building of a sense of community in the course.
A second example of Student – Student interaction between two students or between several students is through CLICK Group work. … CLICK
Students become Joint Problem Solvers as a community.

Benefit to student: They become joint problem solvers as a community
THANK YOU: leads to student satisfaction, retention, and increased learning
Both Catlin & I Would like to thank you 4 your attention

We will leave you with a QUOTE from Dr. Michael SIMINSON CLICK
Dr. Michael Simonson puts it this way,
‘Ingenuity might be required to use some of these techniques at a distance, but the end result offers opportunities to broaden and invigorate the educational experience for both the learner and the instructor!’”
