Learning in the Open: Faculty and Student Perspectives of blogging to Support...jsnugent
This document summarizes two teaching vignettes that used blogs and the open web for student reflection and identity exploration. In the first vignette, an elementary education course used a blog for students to reflect on their teaching experiences and development of personal, situated, and professional identities. In the second vignette, a graduate course used a learning journal blog to build community and engage students in new media. Both experienced challenges around student privacy and time commitment, but blogging provided opportunities for active learning and preparation for future faculty roles.

This document discusses the development and implementation of a 1-credit, online information literacy course at Chadron State College in Nebraska. The course aims to teach students to recognize their information needs and locate, evaluate, and effectively use information. It covers topics like developing research topics, finding and evaluating academic sources, avoiding plagiarism, and managing the research process. Students complete tutorials, discussions, quizzes, assignments, and a final annotated bibliography. The course was successful, though some students would benefit from additional support. Further research questions are posed about predicting student success and adapting the course for different student populations.
Beyond Sit and Git: Transform to Professional LearningRob Darrow
This document is a presentation by Rob Darrow on transforming professional development (PD) to professional learning (PL). It discusses how traditional PD is often ineffective sit-and-git sessions, but PL should allow for choice, customization, and compensation. Darrow advocates for making PL personalized and competency-based through blended learning. He provides examples of standards and resources to help educators implement more effective PL models. The goal is to better meet teacher needs and help them improve instruction.
This document outlines Rob Darrow's presentation on planning, implementing, and sustaining a blended learning program. The presentation defines blended learning and discusses various blended learning models. It also reviews existing blended learning research, which is limited given the newness of the field. The presentation emphasizes that successful blended learning involves focusing on six key elements: leadership, professional development, teaching practices, operations/policy, content, and technology. It provides examples of how these elements can be implemented in schools and promising practices within each element.
This document provides an overview of applying the SAMR model to blended learning programs. It discusses the SAMR model, which evaluates the use of technology in education from Substitution to Augmentation to Modification to Redefinition. It then defines blended learning as a formal education program where students learn both online and in a brick-and-mortar location. The rest of the document examines what blended learning looks like on a continuum from textbook-based to fully online, discusses adoption of blended learning programs, and provides examples and resources.
Blogs can be used in the classroom in several ways: as a source of information for posting class schedules, assignments, and announcements; to publish and archive student work; and as a forum for class discussions. Blogs provide benefits like motivating students through a global audience, allowing students to share views outside their class, and giving feedback to help students improve. However, teachers must establish guidelines to prevent inappropriate posts and encourage meaningful writing. VoiceThread is an interactive tool that allows students to comment on multimedia in text or audio, facilitating discussions, presentations, and reflections to enhance engagement with course content.

Nhcuc libraries committee talking about assessment make it meaningful Elizabeth Dolinger
Here are some questions we could ask the faculty member:
- What specific assignments will students be working on that JStore could support?
- What level of database/search skills do the students currently have?
- How could we assess whether students achieved the intended learning outcomes?
One outcome we could focus on is having students differentiate between scholarly journal articles and other sources in JStore.
An in-class activity could be to give students a short research assignment where they need to find one scholarly journal article in JStore to address their topic. We could review their selected articles and provide feedback to assess their skills in identifying appropriate sources.
This document outlines Rob Darrow's workshop on planning, implementing, and sustaining a blended learning program. The workshop covers defining blended learning, understanding its implementation and sustainability, and applying it in schools. It discusses blended learning models and research, and presents a framework focusing on six key elements for successful blended learning programs: leadership, professional development, teaching practices, operations/policy, content, and technology. Participants engage in group work applying these elements to case studies and discussing how to implement them in their own schools.
Blogs have several educational benefits for students. They are highly motivating, provide opportunities for students to read and write, and are effective forums for collaboration and discussion. Blogs can be used for classroom management by informing students of assignments, for collaboration on developing writing skills, and for discussions outside of class. Student work can also be organized and stored as digital portfolios on blogs. Popular blogging platforms that are free to use include Edublogs, Blogger, and WordPress. When implementing blogs in the classroom, teachers should choose a platform, understand how they will be used, set up student accounts, set rules and a code of ethics for students.

Managing Inquiry-based Learning: Learning from experiencecilass.slideshare
We have taught a suite of inquiry-based learning modules for the past 20 years. Two problems that have occurred frequently are that the students can be poor at organising their schedules and setting deadlines, whilst at the same time we have moved towards marking schemes which are focused on process applied rather than product produced. These two factors have mandated that the students need to provide evidence that they are planning and following the process that has been set. To support this we have introduced a suite of custom support software.

Presentation for a workshop given by the CILASS Information Literacy Network at the University of Sheffield Learning and Teaching Conference in Jan 2008.
Cultural diversity is a fact of life, especially at the University of Surrey where over 30% of our students originate from over 130 different countries. The concept of a ‘Cultural Academy’ was born from a concern and a belief that we could do more to learn from our cultural diversity. Cultural Academy is not part of the formal curriculum but a process, founded on the idea of appreciative enquiry that requires voluntary participation from both students and staff. Through a series of workshops, planning meetings and a student-led conference extending over five months, participants (students, facilitators and mentors) shared their experiences and understandings of culture and its influences on their lives. Infrastructures to support learning included an on-line social networking space to encourage conversation and the recording and sharing of experience , a mentoring scheme to support and encourage learning and to validate learning, a new learning through experience award to value and recognise the learning, a wiki to support the production and accumulation of knowledge gained through enquiry. Various pedagogic processes within the learning process will be explored at the presentation.

Learning by design: constructing knowledge through design inquiry around educ...cilass.slideshare
A simulation was run by educational developers that matched Visualisation students with academics from across the university in order to explore the potential of digital game-based learning (DGBL). Students acted as 'developer companies' charged with designing educational games for their academic 'clients.' One unexpected outcome was the realisation that the design process itself provided a valuable learning opportunity, requiring creativity in problem solving and discourse in the iterative design negotiations, and so offering a model of networked inquiry. The session will engage participants in discussion in order to develop understanding of the links between creativity, design and inquiry-based learning.

This document discusses learner autonomy and enquiry-based learning (EBL). It defines an autonomous learner as someone who independently chooses their learning goals, methods, and criteria for evaluation. Effective autonomous learners have appropriate conceptions of learning, intrinsic motivation, and skills for managing information and their learning. EBL involves students determining their own lines of inquiry to pursue knowledge. When using technology to support EBL, factors to consider include the appropriateness of tools, availability of resources, and not overburdening workload. Academic staff can be encouraged to engage with technology by providing peer support, ensuring tools have clear purposes, and equipping them with strategies for appropriate usage.
The document discusses several teaching strategies that can be used in an instruction session, including:
1) Having students "drive" the computer to lead parts of the session, engaging them as peers teach.
2) Using a "mindwalk" activity where students brainstorm different aspects of a concept in writing.
3) Implementing problem-based learning through case studies for students to research and propose solutions.
4) Adopting a constructivist approach through inquiry-based methods that build on students' existing knowledge.
This document discusses using social bookmarking tools like Delicious and Diigo to support inquiry-based learning. It describes how the author set up bookmarking sites for history students to tag and share sources they found online. Students found this helpful for seminar preparation and developing research skills. While some engagement issues arose, most students felt it improved their thinking and ability to find different types of sources. The author reflected that social bookmarking can effectively support inquiry-based learning when combined with specific tasks and modeling from instructors.
Open SUNY NDLW: Using open source virtual-reality environments for community...Erin Maney
Immersive, 3-D environments have offered opportunities for distance participants to share in any number of activities. With the advent of open source environments that are low-cost and that come either pre-configured or easily configured, this instructor has used these environments in class activities including: presentations, discussions, poster sessions, team meetings within a class, and shared activities (such as visiting other islands or testing 3-D building). Using action research the effectiveness of these environments on community building has been studied and published; students have overcome the isolation of discussion-board-driven online environments and been able to form more effective academic and personal relationships within courses.
(MY) THREE PRINCIPLES OF EFFECTIVE ONLINE PEDAGOGYaandpatbcc
The document summarizes three principles of effective online pedagogy according to Bill Pelz, who received an award for excellence in online teaching.
The principles are: 1) Let students do most of the work through activities like student-led discussions, finding and discussing web resources, peer assistance, and self-grading of homework. 2) Interactivity is key, through discussions, collaborative projects, and other interactions. 3) Strive for presence by promoting social, cognitive and teaching presence through techniques like introductions, informal discussion areas, and providing feedback.
This document discusses developing students' creativity and critical thinking skills using web-based activities. It describes various types of web-based activities like hotlists, scrapbooks, treasure hunts, subject samplers, and webquests. Webquests in particular require higher-order thinking and have a structured format to guide students through an authentic inquiry experience. The document provides examples and resources for creating different types of web-based activities to engage students and promote skills like problem solving, thinking outside the box, and evaluating information.

This document provides 50 activities and tasks to intellectually challenge students across the curriculum. The activities are presented generically so they can be adapted for different subjects. They include discussing insoluble problems, analyzing ethical dilemmas, interpreting random words and poetry, considering different perspectives, using analogies, and designing hypothetical experiments. The goal is to extend existing lessons and stretch student thinking with minimal additional workload for teachers.
Nurturing curiosity and inquiry within the curriculum through the use of tech...RichardM_Walker
How may we engage students in inquiry-led and problem-based learning through the use of technology? In this presentation we will consider how active learning principles can be applied to the design of blended learning courses, with digital tools employed to support active learning opportunities for our students. Through a presentation of case examples from the University of York (United Kingdom), we will consider how blended activities can encourage participants to engage in creative learning and problem-solving. An engagement model for active learning, derived from the case examples, is presented as a stimulus for a broader discussion on effective design approaches to support student-led inquiry and problem-solving activities.
This document discusses various active learning strategies that can be used in place of traditional lectures. It begins by outlining the evidence that active learning is more effective than passive learning for promoting higher-order thinking. Some key active learning techniques described include think-pair-share, guided notes, role plays, debates, and just-in-time teaching. Challenges of implementing these strategies such as student discomfort, unclear expectations, and time constraints are also addressed. The document provides examples and guidance for instructors on incorporating these interactive teaching methods.

1) CILASS is a 5-year £4.5M programme funded by HEFCE to promote inquiry-based learning impacting over 10,000 students in arts, social sciences, and law.
2) Inquiry-based learning involves student-directed, open-ended inquiry on problems and cases at an appropriately scaled level. It develops capabilities for scholarship and employability.
3) Information literacy is a key theme for CILASS and involves working with partners like the library and information studies department to embed information literacy training and assess competencies using the SCONUL seven pillars model.
CILASS works to develop inquiry-based learning (IBL) at the University of Sheffield through curriculum development projects and learning spaces. IBL approaches involve self-directed student inquiry using techniques like case studies and problem-based learning. Information literacy is key to IBL, equipping students with skills to independently conduct research and develop knowledge. CILASS promotes information literacy through various initiatives like workshops, an information literacy network, and audits to identify how departments can enhance skills development. The goal is to embed information literacy into IBL curriculum design.

Inquiry-based learning with Papyri and Manuscripts - Kate Cooper and Jamie Wo...cilass.slideshare
The document discusses using inquiry-based learning with Greek and Latin papyri and manuscripts. It proposes developing "generative learning objects" (GLOs) that allow students to engage with physical manuscripts and papyri through alternative, inquiry-based methods. Initial findings show that existing GLOs are engaging but limited for open-ended inquiries. However, many low-tech projects in fields like museology, Egyptology and classics successfully use objects to engage students in research. Advice is sought on how GLOs or other methods could be used to work with manuscripts and papyri at the master's level.

The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.
