2. An example of a multimodal writing project discussed is a WebQuest, where students complete inquiry-based activities using online resources. WebQuests can incorporate elements like text, pictures, audio and video.
3. The document shares an example WebQuest project done by the presenter's students in Japan and lessons learned, encouraging other teachers to create their own WebQuests for students.
Cr considerations for selecting primary sources 2014
This document provides guidance for selecting primary sources for classroom use. It outlines key considerations to evaluate before and during the selection process, including instructional goals, student knowledge and interests, contextual details, multiple perspectives, and logistical factors. The checklist addresses whether a source is appropriate for the intended audience and lesson, can be placed in historical context, presents discernible points of view, and can be successfully utilized given classroom settings and rights restrictions. Primary sources are defined as original materials created during the period being studied.
Online tutor
The document discusses the role of online tutors in collaborative learning environments. It classifies tutor roles as pedagogical, managerial, technical, and social. It emphasizes the importance of social presence for meaningful knowledge construction through collaboration. Factors that affect social presence include the communication medium, context, emotional expression, openness, group cohesion, and the actions of the online tutor in encouraging open communication, mutual respect, and acknowledging all contributions to promote shared values and social interactions within the group.
Multiple perspectives of online assessments
Here's a presentation Åke, Dianah and I gave at the Assessment Workshop at the University of Nebraska at Omaha, April 15, 2016.
Role of the online tutor in establishing social presence
This document discusses the role of online tutors in establishing social presence in asynchronous text-based collaborative learning environments. It finds that online tutors can help build social presence by facilitating group contracts to promote awareness, maintaining an open mindset, and encouraging equality of contributions and mutual acknowledgement among students. The document also recommends that tutors combine the asynchronous learning platform with alternative synchronous communication media and meetings to coordinate off-task communication and foster shared understanding.
Tools for communication in the E-teaching courses
This document discusses tools for communication in e-teaching courses, including using a learning management system called Fronter for asynchronous discussions, email, social media, e-books and blogs. It also covers aspects of online learning like being able to learn anywhere and anytime at your own pace, but requiring good time management when working in a group and being aware of your online identity.
Tutoring in online and distance education
This document discusses collaborative learning in online and distance education. It defines collaborative learning as active knowledge construction through negotiation, explanation, and argumentation that empowers students to take responsibility for their own learning. Asynchronous collaborative learning involves backwards course design focused on what students will learn from activities rather than what the teacher delivers. It flips the classroom from lectures to discussions. Effective collaborative learning involves frequent interaction, feedback, and tasks situated in realistic contexts. While technology enables collaboration, it does not ensure it will occur spontaneously without experience and training. The role of the teacher is to guide inquiry, monitor understanding, and address dysfunctional group dynamics. Assessment should be part of the learning process, including individual and group assignments as well as participation.
IT and national culture
This document discusses two case studies of cross-cultural software production and use analyzed through structuration theory. In the first case, conflict arose between an Indian software development company (GTEC) and their Jamaican client (JAGIS) due to significant cultural differences. The second case examines the transfer of a geographic information system from the US to India. Structuration theory is used to analyze how meaning systems, power relations, norms, and cultural differences can lead to cross-cultural contradiction and conflict, but also how reflexivity and change are possible. The document calls for practitioners to be sensitive to cultural variations in attitudes, norms, and values when working across cultures.

EATAW conference - Managing Boundaries by Dujardin and Farbey
This short paper reports on the evaluation of an induction module offered on a Master’s course offered exclusively as e-learning. The aim was to ascertain whether the module arrangements provided a bridge between the professional community that students belong to and the academic community. An evaluation tool was used heuristically to assess components of induction (Forrester et al. 2005). Findings suggest that the module was successful in helping students negotiate their entry into postgraduate study and e-learning, and that the components provided a valuable tool for module evaluation.
Creating Effective Peer Learning Environments in Online Courses
This document discusses peer learning in online courses. It defines peer learning as students learning from each other without direct teacher intervention. The document outlines that peer learning has been shown to be effective both offline and online, as it allows for deeper discussions and scaling of online courses. It presents the Community of Inquiry framework and provides examples of how to structure peer learning through setting the online environment, modeling behaviors, assigning collaborative activities, and assessing student participation and engagement. Challenges with peer learning are also acknowledged around students perceiving peer feedback as less valuable and not being well trained in critique.
Online discussions final
The document discusses strategies for creating and facilitating effective online discussions, including establishing clear expectations, choosing relevant topics, providing introductory work for students, setting guidelines for initial comments and responses, and using small groups to improve participation. Quality online discussions benefit from problem-solving activities, instructor facilitation, and ensuring social learning through student collaboration.

This document discusses a case study evaluating the use of blogs to support collaborative learning among students in a UK higher education illustration program. It finds that blogs can effectively support the key aspects of collaborative learning, including positive interdependence, individual accountability, face-to-face interaction, interpersonal skills, and group processing. However, the case study also finds mixed results, with levels of participation varying between groups and within groups. Overall, the study concludes that blogs provide a useful tool to structure collaborative learning activities for art and design students, while allowing instructors better visibility into student contributions.
A Social Learning Grid for MOOCs: Exploring a FutureLearn Case
This document discusses a study exploring the use of different collaboration spaces in a MOOC on the FutureLearn platform. It introduces a collaboration space grid categorizing spaces by size, task constraints, and time constraints. The study examined three spaces in a MOOC on 3D graphics: conversational flows for the whole cohort, prompt-based study groups of up to 30 learners, and PyramidApp groups with task and time constraints. Observations found conversational flows were widely used while study group participation varied and PyramidApp engaged some learners in rating and discussion. Challenges included keeping late-joiners and study groups on task. The spaces provided opportunities for learning but more structured activities and facilitation may be needed.

Dmdh session-2-2013-14
This document provides guidance on using social media to develop an online professional identity as an academic. It discusses that professionalization involves communication and that an academic's value extends beyond just publications. It recommends starting with Twitter due to its flexibility and supportive community. The document discusses using Twitter to discover what others are doing, learn through conversations, and find new content. It addresses that participating in online discussions helps one become more aware of their own privilege and issues of marginalization in academia. Overall, the document emphasizes that developing an online professional identity is an active process of balancing sharing information and engaging in conversations.
Instructional Strategies
This document outlines various instructional strategies for teachers including direct instruction, indirect instruction, experiential learning, independent study, and interactive instruction. It also provides examples of specific strategies for teaching students with diverse learning needs such as providing outlines, visual representations, extra response time, and structured organization to support students who have difficulty with writing, speaking, or attending.
Demystifying DH Session 2 - 2014-15
This document provides guidance on using social media for professional purposes in academia. It discusses that professionalization involves communication and social skills. Twitter is recommended as a starting platform due to its large and supportive community and flexibility. The document outlines best practices for using Twitter, such as reporting on work, asking questions, and sharing content. It also discusses using social media to engage in academic conversations, gain different perspectives, and build professional networks.
Tools for online assessment in Moodle
1) Moodle quizzes and assignments can be used for online assessment. Quizzes provide immediate feedback while assignments allow for submitting work and receiving feedback.
2) There are benefits and drawbacks to different question types like multiple choice, short answer, and essays. Formative assessment with quizzes is recommended over summative assessment.
3) Peer assessment involves students grading each other's work but many prefer peer review where feedback is given without grades. Tools like Moodle workshop and adaptive comparative judgement can facilitate online peer review.
Using Online Forums in Educational Settings
The document provides information on using online forums, including:
1) Forums originated as public meetings for open discussion but now refer to virtual spaces for online asynchronous communication. Forums are better suited for higher-level discussions due to their asynchronous nature.
2) Effective communication in forums involves using an appropriate tone, acknowledging others' contributions and viewpoints, and balancing personal and formal discussions while being aware of cultural issues.
3) Gilly Salmon's 5 stage model outlines the process for users to become acclimated with online forums, from initially connecting to knowledge construction and collaboration. Moderators should encourage participation from users at stage 3 or higher to facilitate meaningful discourse.

A framework for small group support in online collaborative learning
This document discusses providing support for small groups in online collaborative learning through the combination of collaboration scripts and online tutoring. Collaboration scripts set instructions for how students should form groups, interact, and solve problems, and have been shown to improve collaboration skills. Online tutoring guides students through a course by supporting cognitive, social, and metacognitive activities without direct teaching. The author questions how collaboration scripts and online tutoring can be combined to provide support for these processes during small group work.

Introduction to the E-teaching II course
This document outlines the learning outcomes and tools for an online teaching course. The course will help participants describe, discuss, and select appropriate pedagogical approaches for online learning, transform theories into practice, and collaborate virtually. Participants will evaluate learning resources, design online courses, and collaborate with peers in a socio-constructivist approach where mutual support is emphasized over competition. Communication tools include maintaining an online identity and logging in frequently for productive discussions.
Welcome to the E-teaching I course
This document introduces an e-teaching course led by Aleksandra Lazareva of the Department of Global Development and Planning. The course will teach students how to teach, manage, and moderate online courses using a learner-centered, team collaboration, and socio-constructivist approach. Students will learn to build virtual learning environments, select appropriate online pedagogical approaches, and collaborate with others in virtual rooms.
Online tutoring in online collaborative learning courses
This document discusses tutoring in online collaborative learning courses. It explains that collaborative learning involves active knowledge construction through negotiation, explanation, and argumentation. The role of the teacher is to guide learners in the inquiry process and monitor their understanding. Online collaborative learning allows people from different backgrounds to learn across time and space but lacks social cues. A major pitfall is assuming collaboration will occur spontaneously without proper training or experience in collaborative learning. The document also discusses challenges of online tutoring like adaptivity and providing sufficient support and monitoring.
Peer assessment in online collaborative learning
Here's a presentation Åke and I gave at the Assessment Workshop at the University of Nebraska at Omaha, April 15, 2016.
How can ICT contribute to better learning in group work?
This document discusses how information and communication technologies (ICT) can contribute to better learning in group work. It describes collaborative learning versus traditional teaching which involves active participation. Computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) allows for both co-located and computer-mediated collaboration. CSCL provides benefits like active learning, applying concepts to real examples, and flexibility, but also challenges around motivation and coordination. A variety of technological tools are presented that can support collaborative tasks including options for synchronous discussion, collaborative writing, presentations, concept mapping, file sharing, and multifunctional platforms.
Presentation in the working seminar
This progress report summarizes Aleksandra Lazareva's PhD coursework and research activities over the past period. It includes:
1) A description of the courses completed, including term papers on adaptive structuration theory, theories of collaborative learning, and action design research.
2) Details of publications and conference presentations developed using interaction analysis and focusing on computer-supported collaborative learning.
3) An overview of ongoing writing projects, including a literature review on collaborative learning in information systems and students' perceptions of collaborative learning in learning management systems.
4) A discussion of potential data collection settings for her PhD research, including online courses where she is tutoring and could study collaboration and the tutor's role.
Promoting collaborative interactions in a learning management system
This document discusses strategies to promote collaborative interactions in an online learning management system. It describes a study of a master's degree program delivered online with some face-to-face sessions. The study examined how students interacted collaboratively on discussion forums and with tutors. Key findings included that students learned to structure discussions into threads over time, tutors guided discussions with pointers rather than enforcing participation, and asynchronous discussions supported reflection. The implications discussed promoting awareness in groups and training students to effectively use collaboration tools.
Conceptualizing collaboration in the context of computer-supported collaborat...
This document discusses the concept of collaboration in computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL). It defines several key aspects of effective collaborative learning, including interactions between peers, explanation and argumentation, and shared understanding. The document also discusses how technology can be introduced to promote collaborative interactions and reviews different approaches to CSCL, such as problem-based learning and project-based learning. It notes that collaborative learning requires more than just interactions and must foster a sociable environment for learning. The document concludes by emphasizing CSCL as a distinct educational practice and the need for clear conceptualization of collaborative learning terms.
CSCL: Intro
This document introduces computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL), where technologies enable interactions and learning among peers through negotiation, explanation, and mutual regulation to develop shared understanding. However, simply providing technological tools does not guarantee productive social interactions will occur, as the psychological dimensions of social interaction and media effectiveness must also be considered. One approach is through collaboration scripts, which provide step-by-step procedures and distribute learner roles, to trigger productive interactions among peers in CSCL groups while avoiding over-scripting.
Design science research
This document discusses three unclear issues in design science research. It questions what the products are of a design science research project, who the actors are and what their roles are, and the relationship between rigor and relevance in design science research. It also examines three factors that can impact design science research: a lack of resources, time perspectives, and how to incorporate theory.
Using proactive approaches in PhD research
Discussion of using ADR and DSR approaches in the development of a framework for designing effective CSCL environments
Designing CSCL environments
The document discusses computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) environments. It defines CSCL as involving interactions between peers that lead to shared understanding and knowledge construction. The document notes benefits of CSCL include improved academic achievement and skills. However, CSCL requires consideration of social and psychological factors to ensure productive interactions. Collaboration scripts can structure interactions by assigning roles. The document outlines the author's focus on environments that support effective interactions and how technologies can be adopted. It proposes studying a master's program and designing a new CSCL environment to understand these issues.
KMS, organizational learning and communities of practice
This document discusses perspectives on knowledge management, organizational learning, and communities of practice. It addresses key topics such as tacit versus explicit knowledge, individual versus collective knowledge, and the role of social relationships in knowledge management system usage. The document also examines how working, learning, and innovation are interrelated yet sometimes opposed concepts, and how a gap can exist between espoused practices and actual practices within an organization.
Gidden's structuration theory
This document discusses the use of structuration theory in information systems research. It covers several key points:
1) Structuration theory examines the relationship between individuals and society, and how the two are interdependent rather than independent.
2) While Giddens did not focus on technology, structuration theory is believed to have potential for understanding the role of technology in society.
3) Studies using structuration theory in IS research have often misinterpreted or selectively used Giddens' original ideas, failing to consider his full theoretical perspectives.
Information infrastructures
This document summarizes key points from two articles about information infrastructures (II). It defines II as shared, open systems consisting of IT capabilities and user communities. II face problems of attracting early users and adapting to diverse demands as they grow. The document proposes using complexity theory and complex adaptive systems (CAS) as a design theory for II to address these problems. CAS principles of creating attractors to boost growth and ensuring adaptability at the "edge of chaos" are presented as ways to tackle the bootstrap and adaptability problems in II. The document concludes with discussion questions about enhancing II adaptability, the role of institutions/power, other relevant theories, and how II can foster innovation.
Research traditions and schools of IS research
This presentation introduces an overview of two articles on the theme of research traditions and schools of IS research.
Teacher training course: Pedagogical use of ICT
This document outlines a teacher training course at the Christ Church Cathedral Primary School in Lagos, Nigeria on the pedagogical use of information and communication technologies (ICT). The course aims to teach teachers how to effectively integrate technology into their classroom lessons to address issues like limited computer access and unreliable internet. Through group work, peer tutoring, and implementing sample lesson plans, teachers will learn principles of technology-enhanced learning and how to locate, assess, and use different technological tools. Assessment will be through self-reflection, peer comments, and student feedback, with no external evaluation. The school will receive materials and a Raspberry Pi computer to support the training.
Research seminar on student engagement
The document summarizes a master's thesis that studied student engagement in the classroom. It defined engagement as having behavioral, cognitive, and emotional dimensions. It also discussed how engagement relates to self-regulation in learning. An empirical study in a Finnish elementary school English class examined how task characteristics like technology use and autonomy as well as teacher and peer interactions impacted student engagement. The study found that engagement was highest when tasks were meaningful, allowed some autonomy, and incorporated technology, but too much technology could distract. Teacher involvement differently affected students, and peer regulation had mixed results. The implications were that teachers need to support individual student needs to maintain engagement.
