The document advocates for stakeholders across the education system to consider open textbooks to increase access and affordability.
This document discusses the high costs of traditional college textbooks and proposes open textbooks as a solution. It outlines problems with the traditional textbook market structure that gives publishers too much power and leads to high prices. Open textbooks are proposed as an alternative, which are free online and can be customized by professors. Several models for creating and publishing open textbooks are presented, including individual authors, institutional projects, government and foundation funding, and commercial publishers. The document encourages students, professors, colleges and authors to support open textbooks to make education more affordable and accessible.
This article discusses seven techniques for taking more interesting photographs: following the rule of thirds when composing shots, varying the angle of view, using perspective to draw the eye, including focal points, using a timer to avoid camera shake, playing around to find unique shots, and learning your camera's capabilities.
This document discusses using blogs to create community in the classroom. It notes that blogs allow for reflection, help shy students express themselves, and can be used for class journals, research journals, and student-created learning paths. While blogs have a steeper learning curve than email, they create ownership for students and links to learning when the instructor sets up a central class blog with assignments, pictures, and links to resources. Clear instructions, guidelines, and rubrics are needed to prepare students to use blogs successfully.
This document discusses concept maps and brainstorming techniques. It provides an overview of the roots and different types of concept maps, including continuums, clustering, fishbone maps, cycle maps, and Venn diagrams. It also discusses the technology used to create concept maps, including paper and pencil, software tools, and collaborative online options. Finally, it provides additional resources for learning more about concept mapping.
Seven Principles of Effective Teaching OnlineGeoff Cain
This is an online learning presentation of the seven principles of effective teaching by Chickering. We explore the questions of whether there is a real difference in face-to-face and online teaching and how we implement these principles.
The document discusses open source software as an alternative to commercial software for educational institutions. It notes that open source software is free for students and educators, can be customized to needs, and is updated by users. However, it also points out challenges like a lack of single responsibility and works in progress. The document provides examples of open source software and resources to find and learn more about open source options.
This is an introduction to Second Life for instructors who are new to it. This is the prelude to "Teaching in Virtual Worlds" to be held afterwards at the same conference on Teaching and Learning here in Spokane, WA.
PowerPoint as an Interactive Teaching ToolGeoff Cain
PowerPoint can be an effective interactive teaching tool if used properly, but it also has some drawbacks if overused or used passively. When used interactively with activities like questions, games, and focusing exercises, it can help students engage with and process information. However, it tends to oversimplify information if it becomes the sole delivery method with too many bullet points and not enough discussion. The key is to use PowerPoint to supplement other materials and activities, not replace discussion or other learning methods.
1. The document discusses how virtual worlds like Second Life are being used for teaching and learning, providing examples of classrooms, models, simulations, and role-playing scenarios created in Second Life.
2. Some examples of educational uses in Second Life include business law classes at Bradley University, English courses at Ball State University, and medical simulations at Tacoma Community College.
3. The document advocates for using virtual worlds to increase interactivity and engaged learning through techniques like virtual field trips, interactive models, simulations, role-playing, and group work.
A wiki is an editable web page that allows for collaboration, with each page containing a discussion board, page history, and feed. It provides a collaborative workspace where pages can be edited and modified by users, and includes features like discussion boards and page histories to track changes over time. Users can get help with wikis from Geoff Cain in the Distance Learning & Multimedia Services department if needed.
This document discusses how educators can use various Web 2.0 tools to enhance learning. It outlines tools like RSS feeds, blogs, wikis, social bookmarking, online productivity suites, and social media sites that allow for interactive content, user participation, and dynamic content. The document suggests asking how instructors could create assignments in their disciplines using collaborative technologies.
