Flipping Your Classroom - Using Online Resources to Engage StudentsLisa S.
There is a trend sweeping the education sector right now: “flipping the classroom”. As a means of increasing student engagement and learning, instructors are assigning videos to view as homework, and then using in-class time for discussion and active learning activities, instead of lecturing. What exactly is ‘flipping the classroom’? How does it work? Does it really increase student engagement and learning? What resources can be used?
This document summarizes a webinar about blended learning pedagogy. The webinar discusses defining blended learning as a mix of online and in-person instruction, with some student control over pace and place. It also explores how blended learning can personalize education for students and how teachers can facilitate applied, authentic learning. The presenters provide examples of successful blended learning programs and discuss tools, measuring effectiveness, and common blended learning myths.

Job Talk: Research (2007) - Wayne State UniversityMichael Barbour
Virtual schooling allows rural schools to offer a wider variety of courses and access highly trained teachers. A study of virtual school students in Newfoundland and Labrador found that during synchronous sessions students tended to stay on task, relying more on each other than teachers for help. During asynchronous time, students only worked effectively about half the time and often collaborated. Students primarily sought help from peers and teachers, regardless of other available resources.
This document discusses the pros and cons of online education versus traditional in-person classes. It notes that online classes can be effective for self-disciplined and motivated students but may not be suitable for more dependent learners. While online classes provide convenience and lower costs, they offer limited face-to-face interaction and instructor time. The conclusion is that students must evaluate their own needs and preferences to determine whether online or in-person classes would be more beneficial in their individual situation.

Barbour, M. K. & Unger, K. (2009, May). Teachers’ preconceptions of virtual schooling: Challenging myths & misconceptions. Paper presented at the annual Canadian Society for the Study of Education conference, Ottawa, ON.
I gave a one hour overview to librarians from NH about assessment. My approach to assessment focuses on collection of performance assessments, mapping session level outcomes to program outcomes, aggregating data by outcome, SHARING what you learn, and contributing to program level assessment. I plan for and organize assessment methods into “tiers” with tier one assessments capturing student development of information literacy from a variety of academic experiences, and tier two assessment methods capturing librarians contribution to students development of information literacy. One librarian asked me after the discussion: where should I begin, especially with limited access to students? My recommendation is always to start with what’s already being done. Where are students already being assessed? Look there and see what you can learn about the challenges students are having. Then create your plan, and “start small, but start” as Deb Gilchrist and other ACRL Immersion faculty always mantra.

AERA 2012 - A Case Study Examining the Perspectives of an At-Risk, Rural Stud...Michael Barbour
Barbour, M. K., & Siko, J. (2012, April). A case study examining the perspectives of an at-risk, rural student enrolled in virtual schooling. A paper presented at the annual meeting of the American Educational Research Association, Vancouver, BC.
A large population of virtual schooling students are defined as “at-risk.” However, there is little research that focuses on the experiences of these students. This case study, based on interviews and video observations of an at-risk, rural student enrolled in an online course, brings light to some of these experiences. The student was good at prioritizing, often took the path of least resistance to achieve the minimum level of expectations, and demonstrated waning productivity during class. The student was also able to clearly express his thoughts on what was needed to succeed in an online course. As more rural students have to learn online, it is important to better understand how to design, deliver and support virtual schooling.

Librarians as Leaders and Partners in OER Initiatives
Regina Gong discusses her experience leading an open educational resources (OER) initiative at Lansing Community College. High textbook costs were negatively impacting students, so she helped faculty adopt free and openly licensed OER to save students over $1 million. As experts in finding resources and copyright, librarians are well-positioned to partner with faculty on OER. LCC's bottom-up approach led over 200 faculty to use OER in over 400 courses benefiting over 10,000 students. Communicating successes helped expand partnerships and further the initiative's social justice goals of increasing educational access.
This document discusses blended learning and its benefits for gifted students. Blended learning combines traditional in-person instruction with online learning, allowing students to learn in part at a school and in part through online delivery with some control over pace and place. It describes six models of blended learning and suggests the flex model, where material is primarily online and students learn independently with teacher support, best serves gifted students by allowing a personalized, rigorous curriculum tailored to their needs and pace.
Blended Learning: How do you know it when you see it?Rob Darrow

2. Make connections - Help students connect learning to real-world issues and experiences. Facilitate analysis and discussion to help students form opinions.
3. Apply understanding - Have students transfer learning to new scenarios. Reinforce higher-order thinking skills and content knowledge.
4. Share knowledge - Publish student work and have students teach others. Help students contribute to the learning community.
5. Playback and reflect - Use feedback from multiple sources and reflect throughout learning, not just at the end. Student assessment should

Community College Consortium for OER Panel: Increasing Student Retention and ...Una Daly
Presentation at the Online Teaching Conference Jun 18, 2015 in San Diego, CA:
The cost of textbooks has been identified as a major barrier for students completing their education. Colleges seeking to increase student retention and success are promoting the use of open educational resources and open textbooks to reduce costs and improve pedagogy. A key strategy for college adoption campaigns has been participating in communities of practice. Members of the Community College Consortium for OER (CCCOER) will share their best practices and other tactics for nurturing a national community of practice focused on open education.
Etienne Wenger defines communities of practice as “groups of people who share a concern or a passion for something they do and learn how to do it better as they interact regularly.” With over 250 member colleges in 19 states and provinces, CCCOER encourages collaboration between members and invites OER project presentations at monthly online meetings. Experienced members advise those who are just getting started on OER and best practices are freely shared. Access to a community of college OER experts through our advisory listserve allows new members to quickly find and adopt the highest quality OER available. Meetups at regional and national conferences provide an opportunity to share and promote the OER adoption successes of our members with colleagues in higher education.
Hear from this panel of OER experts about how they promote open textbooks and OER adoption at their colleges:

Pedagogy in Public: Open Education for Transformational TeachingRobin DeRosa
This document discusses how adopting open education practices can benefit Seminole State College. Open education can help drive down costs for students, improve student success rates, increase engagement, and connect students to their fields. It can also reinvigorate faculty teaching and allow collaboration with other institutions. Adopting open educational resources (OER) like open textbooks instead of expensive commercial textbooks could save students hundreds of dollars per semester. Studies show students perform better and are less likely to drop or fail courses when using OER. The document advocates treating education as a learner-driven process through open pedagogy, emphasizing community and collaboration over content. It discusses using open licenses, digital tools like Domain of One's Own, and publishing student
Beyond Blended: Realigning Higher Education for the 21st Century Learner Thro...Valerie Irvine
Keynote presentation on Beyond Blended to COHERE 2014 conference. See cohere.ca for archived video. Focus is on multi-access learning and supporting learners through personalization, assessment for learning, openness, connected, and access.
The document discusses the concept of multi-access learning, which allows students flexible access to courses through face-to-face, online, or hybrid modalities. It notes students strongly prefer having a choice in modality and the importance of this choice. Data from pilot programs found most students' quality of learning stayed the same or increased with multi-access, and it helped with recruitment by attracting more and higher quality applicants. The approach addresses issues with declining enrollments by expanding access to new markets.

The document discusses the need for schools to integrate technology and change classrooms to teach the Iowa Core standards, which emphasize problem solving, critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and digital citizenship. It notes that the world, job market, technology, access to information, and ability to contribute are changing. Classrooms also need to change to remain relevant. Technology should be used as a tool to achieve important educational goals, not as an end in itself. A variety of technology tools can support skills like writing, visual and oral communication, collaboration, networking, data analysis, research, assessment, and presentation.
21st Century Schools, Iowa Core, and Technology IntegrationEvan Abbey
Teaching and learning in the 21st century focuses on being rigorous, relevant, creative, collaborative, and problem-solving. It involves teaching 21st century skills like data and information processing through authentic and project-based learning. Technology is an important tool, but should be used purposefully to support key skills and curriculum goals. Effective instruction is student-centered, teaches for understanding and learner differences, and uses assessment for learning rather than just content acquisition. Schools must prepare students for a changing world and job market by developing deep conceptual knowledge and 21st century competencies through critical thinking, collaboration and use of technology for learning.
