2020/05/04

Dr. Elliot Aronson developed the Jigsaw Method as a strategy to increase cooperation at a time when classrooms were plagued by hostility due to classroom desegregation. The Jigsaw Method both had students standout as unique entities as well as essential group members. Students become experts on a topic but then must teach what they know to the rest of their group. During an intermediate step, the experts come together to improve upon what has been learned during independent study. Dr. John Hattie

When we talk about interaction in a course, whether that course is face-to-face or online, we are typically talking about three different interactions: Learner-content Learner-learner Learner-instructor For many online courses, most of the interaction is learner-content. If this is the sole means of interaction, it is a correspondence course. We want to humanize a course because it is required and it is the right thing to do. According to the U.S. Department of Education Distance education,

Dr. Maria Andersen’s ESIL Lens is a useful tool for identifying what should be covered in a course or program. The ESIL Lens has four levels: Existence Supported Independent Lifetime The ESIL Lens helps to determine what you should share to increase student awareness to what is essential to know and do in a specific discipline.

We can easily be overwhelmed as instructional technologists by all the requests for assistance that we receive. By using a strategy called “working out loud,” I have been able to help more people with better quality assistance. In addition to the immediate support that I provide, I am also able to assist others as they search the internet for answers to their questions. In this episode, I will be sharing the strategy I use for working out loud as well as the insight I have gleaned from others

A week ago, the governor of New York made the decision to suspend all face-to-face classes across the SUNY and CUNY systems and move them to an online format. My life suddenly became quite busy. How do you move hundreds of face-to-face courses online in less than two weeks? New York is not the only state facing this question. A lot of other people are trying to figure it out.

Zotero is a free open source tool that I learned about while I was a graduate student. I used it to help write my dissertation, journal articles, and books. I continue to use it to this day as a way to collect, organize and cite my research. If you have to conduct research to write articles, grants, and books then I strongly recommend Zotero for your citation management. In this episode, we are going to explore Zotero.

I discovered that normally word processors like Microsoft Word and Google Docs were time-consuming and clumsy for organizing research. I started to use Scrivener to organize my thoughts. It has been a game-changer. Every day, I find new uses for Scrivener. I used to write one book and I am now working on my second one. I use it to draft my podcast episodes. I even use it to draft my blog posts. I wished I had it available when I was working on my dissertation, at least to organize my thoughts. In

2020/02/17

Online courses can be so isolating when there is no interaction between students and the instructor and fellow students. A key component of learning is dialog. Learners need to reflect and discuss what they are observing and experiencing with others to help construct knowledge.

2020/02/10

One of the most memorable learning activities that I have had was when I completed my dissertation. I believe this typifies project-based learning. Project-based learning activities are long classroom pursuits that are student-centered and focus on real-world problems. There are no defined solutions. Learning is definitely messy and chaotic. But they result in deep learning. In this episode, we are going to explore project-based learning to include its characteristics, essential elements, and steps

The RAFT strategy was initially designed for writing assignments but I believe it can be used for much more. RAFT stands for Role, Audience, Format, and Topic. It allows for student choice when deciding how they will complete the assignment. RAFT assignments are certainly in line with Universal Design for Learning principles. In this episode, you will learn about the RAFT strategy for creating assignments as well as developing rubrics to help assess diverse submissions. This will lead to more
