Barbour, M. K. (2012, April). Countering a dominant narrative of educational reformers: Examining the research on the effectiveness of virtual schooling. A paper presented at the annual meeting of the American Educational Research Association, Vancouver, BC.
This proposal examines the rhetoric used by proponents of educational reform and the use of online learning as a solution for K-12 education. Using the research into K-12 online learning, I argue that those educational reformers use methodologically flawed research or promote an inaccurate understanding of research results to promote a corporate agenda in K-12 online learning. The proposed session will examine the limited amount of research into virtual schooling in an effort to better understand what this research indicates about the effectiveness of K-12 online learning.

Record enrollments, a new version of Blackboard, limited staff equals a recipe for disaster! See how Fresno State survived with the Blackboard Student Orientation course.
In this presentation you will learn first-hand how Fresno State prepared students for Blackboard 9.1 Service Pack 13. Faced with a record freshman enrollment and skyrocketing online courses, ensuring that students had the technology and the skills to be successful in the online classroom was paramount. To meet this challenge, the Blackboard 9.1 Student Orientation Course was developed. This course, available to all students, was built on best practices in online course design with a focus on active engagement. Students enrolling in the course came away with hands-on experience with all the Blackboard 9.1 tools, knowledge of the Fresno State interface, and a Certificate of Completion, which they received after demonstrating skills through an assessment.
Encouraged by faculty, and the chance to win prizes, nearly 2000 students self-enrolled at the beginning of the fall 2013 semester. The course, facilitated by an Instructional Designer and student assistants, proved to help students became comfortable with the tools and technology used in online courses and provided a safe space for asking Blackboard related questions. This was clearly evident by the reduced number of "how to" calls to the Blackboard Resource Center on campus.
Using a backchannel to drive discussion and answer questions, the presenter ensures that you will come away from this session with a sustainable plan that you can immediately implement on your campus for preparing students to use Blackboard. In addition to the course, you may take away a module that instructors can import into their own course and customize . The goal is that students are prepared for the technology so that they are able to focus on the content and assignments once the course begins.

Barbour, M. K., Kromei, H., McLaren, A., Toker, S., Mani, N., & Wilson, V. (2009, March). Testing an assumption of the potential of homemade PowerPoint games. Paper presented at the annual conference of the Society for Information Technology and Teacher Education, Charleston, SC.
Proponents of homemade PowerPoint games claim that students can gain a deeper understanding of the content based upon the act of constructing the game, writing a compelling narrative, and creating higher order questions or problems. However, results of recent studies into the effectiveness of homemade PowerPoint games have yielded no significant difference. The purpose of this study was to test the assumption that students are creating higher order questions by examining the games from one of these recent studies. Our results indicate that students are largely creating recall-style questions. As such, we recommend that homemade PowerPoint game proponents improve the instructional aids related to question writing within their project.

This document summarizes the California eLearning Census conducted by Brian Bridges to analyze online and blended learning in California K-12 schools. The census found that 18,500 students participated in full-time virtual learning, 76,300 students participated in blended learning models, and 17,500 students took online courses over the summer of 2011. Most blended learning utilized the self-blend model with an average of 400 students per district. The census confirmed predictions that blended learning would dominate over full-time virtual schools with 90% of students learning online at their school campus.
The document summarizes the new Master of Science Degree in Instructional Media from Wilkes University and Discovery Education. The degree focuses on 21st century skills and innovative learning methods using technology. It is an affordable and convenient fully online program. Students gain access to Discovery Education resources and can complete the degree in less than two years. The degree helps students professionally by allowing them to teach educational technology, become teacher leaders, and increase their pay scale.
This document provides information about selecting quality electronic learning resources and reviewing online courses. It discusses the Selecting for Quality Learning Resource Network which reviews software, internet, video and online courses across six subject areas. It notes the importance of vetting educational resources and describes standards for online course content, instructional design, student assessment, technology, and course evaluation/support. The document recommends that teachers and students be prepared for virtual learning and that online courses be supplemented with face-to-face support as needed.
Offering Students a Spectrum of Online Learning Experiences: featuring Jeffco...Blackboard
In 2006, Jeffco Public Schools in Colorado was looking for a way to address the staggering number of students that were failing classes as well as provide options for students that wanted to learn in a way that modeled their digital lives. The district also wanted to expand educational options for the hundreds of students that were leaving the district each year to learn online elsewhere.
In order to meet these needs, Jeffco Public Schools turned to Blackboard to expand educational offerings with online courses.
Jeffco Public Schools shares how Blackboard software helped accomplish the following:
Develop a five-year road map for online learning,
Address the districts withdrawal and failure rate,
Provide online learning opportunities without students having to leave their school,
Launch a statewide online school and,
Use online learning as a vehicle for organizational change.
This document summarizes research on online learning in California K-12 schools. It discusses two studies from 2011 and 2010 that examined the status and perceptions of online and blended learning. The studies found an increase in online charter school enrollment but that it remains a small percentage of total enrollment. Online charter schools had higher achievement and lower dropout rates compared to traditional schools. Barriers to online learning included limited technology infrastructure and a need for teacher training.
The document summarizes a survey of Washington state school district policies and practices related to online learning. It found that policies varied widely between districts, with small rural districts most restrictive. Most districts approved online courses from a variety of providers for credit recovery. Ensuring quality included reviewing course alignment and teacher training, though practices differed. Barriers to online learning included funding, course quality concerns, and lack of support systems.
This document discusses the increasing demand for credit earned through nontraditional courses and learning programs. It notes that the number of non-traditional students is growing, students are more mobile between institutions, and trends in higher education supply and demand are putting pressure on completion rates. As a result, there is demand for alternative credit options like exams, portfolios, online courses, and internships to help students complete their credentials more quickly and at a lower cost. The benefits and challenges of different alternative credit programs are reviewed. Institutions must evaluate which options fit their mission and priorities while considering student experience, outcomes, and quality.

The document discusses teaching in online versus traditional classroom environments. It summarizes research comparing the two environments and identifies limitations in the existing research. The research finds that online teaching requires more time for activities like materials creation and technology use. It also notes that online teachers often receive little training and that teacher training programs rarely include systematic preparation for online teaching. Roles like course designers and facilitators are also discussed.
This document discusses online and blended learning models being implemented in California schools. It provides an overview of different blended learning models such as rotation, flex, and hybrid virtual schools. It also summarizes the results of California's eLearning Census which found that around 18,600 students are enrolled in virtual schools while around 79,800 students participate in blended learning programs. The document emphasizes the importance of selecting high-quality online courses that are engaging, make good use of technology, and have been properly reviewed. It outlines several factors schools should consider when evaluating online courses.
This document discusses blended learning and factors that contribute to student success in online courses. It notes that virtually all growth in college enrollment is occurring online. Key factors for online student success include having a strong academic self-concept, technology skills, communication skills, an internal locus of control, and self-directed learning abilities. Blended learning models are presented as allowing flexibility while providing structure through a mix of online and face-to-face interactions. The document provides tips for designing hybrid courses, including taking it easy, focusing on design over technology, using available resources, managing expectations, and anticipating problems.

TUC Research Day 2023 - State of the Nation: K-12 e-Learning in CanadaMichael Barbour
This document summarizes a study on K-12 distance, online, and blended learning in Canada. It begins by noting that most previous research had focused on programs in the United States, with little known about initiatives in other parts of North America like Canada. The goals of the study were to understand how these programs are governed in each Canadian province/territory and the level of participation. Data was collected through surveys of education ministries, interviews, and a review of documents. The findings showed participation growing each year, with the most populated provinces like Ontario and Alberta having the highest numbers and per capita involvement. It also described the mix of centralized provincial programs and those run through local school districts. The document concludes by noting ongoing work to

The document summarizes a panel discussion on K-12 online and blended learning across Canada. The panelists represented the Canadian eLearning Network, Touro University, Vista Virtual School Alberta, Ignite Centre for eLearning Alberta, Ontario eLearning Consortium, and CAVLFO.
The panel discussed current practices in each Canadian province, with many moving towards more centralized online learning programs. Key trends included a focus on blended learning at the classroom level and ensuring online learning is integrated into regular teaching practice. While models vary between centralized and decentralized approaches, completion rates do not significantly differ depending on the approach; success depends more on teacher quality.
The discussion concluded by emphasizing that online learning continues to grow in importance despite challenges during

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17Celine George
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.
