I've tried Voxopop when it was called chinswing, but I like the idea of an audio message board: http://www.voxopop.com/ It doesn't have teh visual element, though

11:51 - Robert 1

This is a really good point.

12:50 - Robert 1

nice

14:05 - Mary 2

In your experience, Joni, do onliine students begin making connections with one another on their own (via email, chats, etc related to assignments), or is this sense of community something you need to facilitate throughout a course?

I think Wallwisher would be nice tool to extend this activity--add to web-based board: http://www.wallwisher.com/

Instructional-Design-Live#23 2010-07-09 Case-Based Learning Online

Robert Squires - Sat, 2010-07-10 03:20

The use ofcase studies in online courses has been shown to promote critical thinking skills and the ability to transfer these skills to real-life situations, but there can be real challenges with using case studies online. As Joni Dunlap puts it: "My students -- in a professional preparation graduate program -- really push back against case-based exercises. Their position is that they prefer to work on projects from their workplace." This week, Xiaojing Liu discusses her research into designing and facilitating effective case studies. She identifies a number of practices from a review of 27 online MBA courses at the Kelley School of Business, University of Indiana.

Helen Barrett

Dr. Helen Barrett, former faculty at the University of Alaska, Anchorage has spent nearly a decade investigating the use e-portfolios for enhancing stduent learning. In this show, she lays it on the line: e-portfolios that are designed as summative 'showcases' of achievement are missing an opportunity to have students focus on substantive learning.

Taxonomy upgrade extras:

Dr. Helen Barrett, recipient of the EIFEL lifetime achievement award for her contributions to e-portfolio research and development, joins us this week to put a firm emphasis on having students control their learning through e-portfolios. In addition to highlighting the ‘two faces of e-portfolios’, Helen makes the case that universities have been placing too great an emphasis on e-portfolios for summative learning.
