Learning is about dialogue. When we have conversations, we must adhere to established protocols, even when only having discussions with friends. During daily conversations with others, in the classroom, and through academic research, there are protocols that we must follow in order to be successful. However, in each situation, there are some basics: One must have some knowledge of the topic. You should acknowledge your sources. You need to understand that the conversation has a past and will have a

Over a couple of decades working as an instructional technologist, I have developed my ideas on what a good assignment should cover. In preparation for this episode, I rediscovered the principles outlined by TILT - Transparency in Learning and Teaching. Since they mirror my principles and that are already documented, I am going to focus on transparent assignment design. The goal of this episode is to help you develop assignments that help students achieve your learning objectives. This week we are

ITC: 126 - Using After Action Reviews in the Classroom

2021/06/28

I used after-action reviews for the last 40 years. I was first exposed to them in the Air Force as a strategy for continuous improvement. AARs have served me well. I continue to use them today. I also use them in the classroom and you can as well. AARs are easy to conduct and yield a lot of valuable information about your course and its activities. The key is to do something with what you learn. This week we are going to take a closer look at after-action reviews and how you can improve your

I use peer review in an online graduate-level course I teach. During the course, students are developing program proposals. They submit the proposal in three phases: two drafts and a final submission. Ideally, each phase leads to an improved product. During each of the drafts, students will also submit a peer review on two different proposals. Students can provide feedback directly on the proposal. Additionally, they must complete a worksheet. The worksheet has reviewers analyze the program plan in

Today, I would like to share what I am reading as well as provide you with ideas for your summer reading list. My personal reading tends to revolve around instructional technology and productivity.

2021/05/31

I am on the fence with this one. Primarily, I teach online classes so participation and attendance are slightly different. I also believe that the more one is involved in a course, the better they will do. But I also believe in treating adults like adults. That means, they get to make their own decisions and must accept responsibility for the decisions they make. All I can do is create the conditions that they will want to participate and succeed. The reason I am approaching this topic right now is

ITC: 122 - Providing Students with Assignment Choice

2021/05/24

Choice sits at the heart of Universal Design for Learning. Ideally, you would want to provide a lot of choices for your assignments to include a choice of content and format. You would also want to have different choices for each learning objective. Converting your entire course at one time can be exhausting. I recommend that you implement assignment choice one objective at a time. In some cases, you just need to tweak your rubric and the wording of the assignment itself. In this episode, we will

ITC: 120 - Are You Giving Extra Credit? Should You?

In the Classroom with Stan Skrabut ·

2021/05/10

Why would you want to give students extra assignments when they cannot complete the regular assignments? I am of the opinion that you can create your course in a manner in which students will not need extra credit. I am not alone in this opinion. Rather than have students do additional assignments, have them improve upon the assignments they have already completed. This episode will take a closer look at the pros and cons of extra credit as well as strategies for avoiding it altogether. Come learn

To keep a semester moving forward successfully, there are many opportunities for communicating important information. This is to alert faculty to key events taking place such as preparing courses, semester start-up, archiving old courses, and much more. Instructional technologists, program coordinators, and department chairs all have key messages they need to get out term after term. They can provide better service in the long run by automating as much routine messaging as possible. They can then

ITC: 118 - My Strategies for Seek, Sense, Share

In the Classroom with Stan Skrabut ·

2021/04/26

Seeking is about pulling in information that is new. It is basically keeping my eyes and ears open to what is happening in the world. I tend to find information around areas of interest or problems that I am trying to solve. They may be my problems or problems for others. Keeping an eye out for new information is a fairly rapid process. Primarily, I scan titles to articles until one looks interesting. I will then open it, read it, and decide if it is worth keeping or not. The process of sense-making

ITC: 117 - Bullet Journaling for Educators

2021/04/19

Since my days in the Air Force, I always carried a small notebook with me - a Moleskine notebook. I would write notes as they occur to me. These notes would be from meetings, podcasts, books, or just random ideas I wanted to capture. My notebook was a mess. I then tripped upon a method to help me stay on track better due to better note-taking. I have been using this method ever since. This method is called bullet journaling, a creation of Ryder Carroll. Each individual can personalize their method

Approximately two weeks ago, Thomas Frank introduced me to a new tool through one of his YouTube videos. Once I understood what it could do, I knew that I needed to add it to my mix of tools. While I am just getting familiar with it, I knew I had to introduce you to it. The tool is called Readwise. With Readwise, I was able to connect to my Kindle account and export the highlights of 116 books to Evernote. Kindle is not the only application to which you can connect. Readwise will let you

Podcasting in your classroom can be a great way to develop lifelong learning habits in your students. Podcast episodes can be consumed anytime and anywhere.

Students can also create podcast episodes as a way to demonstrate what they have learned.

Providing accommodations for students with needs is a time suck for a lot of people. They cut into your time as the instructor. Students divert time and energy from their studies to request accommodation. Disability services also have to spend time and energy to put the accommodation in place. In most cases, the accommodation request would not have gone in if the course was created correctly. Accessible and inclusive courses reduce accommodations. No one really wants to request accommodation due to

As Wlodkowski pointed out there is a strong positive correlation between motivation and learning. As instructors, we can create the right conditions and environment to help them learn. Wlodkowski and Ginsberg developed the Motivational Framework for Culturally Responsive Teaching. Within this framework, Wlodkowski and Ginsberg incorporate four essential elements that will attend to the learning

Dialog is foundational to meaningful learning. In a well-developed course, students need to have dialog with the teacher, fellow students, and the content. The Community of Inquiry Framework facilitates this dialog. We want students to ask questions that interest them about a topic and feel comfortable adding to the conversation. We want students to pull apart topics through personal review and reflection. Most importantly, learning is about dialogue. The Community of Inquiry Framework achieves its

A lesson plan is a road map of all the key points your want to visit in your travels. It will help ensure that you get to each one in the right order. They are a way to organize your content and ensure that you have time to cover the essentials. A lesson plan is a continuation of backward design.

While attending college classes, I have had to journal twice. Once when I was at the United States Air Force Academy Prep School for an English class. The other time was during a graduate-level course. But I turned that journaling experience into blogging, which I continue to do. In both cases, I was frustrated because I really did not grasp the exercise. Journaling was certainly something that I did not continue past the class. At least, not until recently.
