7
Pedagogical Recommendations(Berge, 1995, The
role of the online instructor/facilitator)

• Draw attention to conflicting views
• Dont expect too much/thread
• Do not lecture (Long, coherent sequence of
  comments yields silence)
• Request responses within set time
• Maintain non-authoritarian style
• Promote private conversations

8
Research on Nine Online Courses(Vanessa Dennen,
San Diego State Univ)

• 9 case studies of online classes using
  asynchronous discussion
• Topics sociology, history, communications,
  writing, library science, technology, counseling
• Range of class size 15 - 106
• Level survey, upper undergraduate, and graduate
• Tools custom and commercial
• Private, semi-public, and public discussion areas

9
Poor Instructors Good Instructors

• Little or no feedback given
• Always authoritative
• Kept narrow focus of what was relevant
• Created tangential discussions, fact questions
• Only used ultimate deadlines

• Provided regular qual/quant feedback
• Participated as peer
• Allowed perspective sharing
• Tied discussion to grades, other tasks.
• Used incremental deadlines

10
Collaborative and Constructivist Web Tasks
(McLoughlin Oliver, 1999 Oliver McLoughlin,
1999))

1. Apprenticeship QA Ask an Expert (chats
   async).
2. Case-Based and Simulated Learning exchange
   remote views enact events online.
3. Active Learning Design Web pages and project
   databases.
4. Reflective/Metacognitive Learning Reflect in
   online journals, bulletin boards
5. Experiential Learning Post (articulate ideas) to
   discussion groups
6. Authentic Learning PBL, search current databases

11
Framework for Pedagogical CMC Techniques(Paulsen,
1995, The Online Report on Pedagogical
Techniques for Computer-Mediated Communication)

1. One-alone Techniques Online journals, online
   databases, interviews, online interest groups.
2. One-to-one Techniques Learning contracts,
   internships, apprenticeships.
3. One-to-many Techniques Lectures, symposiums,
   skits.
4. Many-to-many Techniques Debates, simulations,
   games, case studies, discussion groups,
   brainstorming, Delphi techniques, nominal group
   process, forums, group projects.

Ideal Environment of Synchronous Trainer
Jennifer Hoffman, Online Learning Conference
(2001, Oct.)

• A private, soundproof room.
• High-speed connection telephone powerful
  computer additional computer tech support phone
  
• Studio microphone and speakers
• A Do Not Disturb sign
• Near restroom pitcher of water

13
Considerations The Event Jennifer Hoffman,
ASTD, Learning Circuits, (2001, March)

• Log on early students come 15 minutes early.
• Do tech checks of microphones (sound check).
• Check to see if students brought needed items
• Perhaps call or send notes to missing students
• Vary your instructional strategies maximize
  interactivity
• Make it visualcolor, sound, animation
• Design 10-minute breaks every 90 minutes

14
Pedagogical Tips(Bonk 1998 Indiana University)

• Build peer interactivity
• Utilize multiple forms of assessment
• Provide feedback cues (dots)
• Embed choices (avatars, tasks, etc.)
• Simplify (everything!!!)
• Offer early feedback
• Scheduling something due early

15
Just a Lot of Bonk

• Variety tasks, topics, participants,
  accomplishments, etc.
• Interaction extends beyond class
• Learners are also teachers
• Multiple ways to succeed
• Personalization and choice
• Clarity and easy to navigate course
• Find tech mentor, be student b4 teacher

16
But how to determine the pedagogical quality of
courses and course materials you develop?
17
Quality on the Line Benchmarks for Success in
Internet-Based Distance Ed (Blackboard NEA,
2000)

• Teaching/Learning Process
• Student interaction with faculty is facilitated
  through a variety of ways.
• Feedback to student assignments and questions is
  provided in a timely manner.
• Each module requires students to engage
  themselves in analysis, synthesis, and evaluation
  as part of their course assignments.
• Course materials promote collaboration among
  students.
• http//www.ihep.com/Pubs/PDF/Quality.pdf

18
Quality on the Line Benchmarks for Success in
Internet-Based Distance Ed (Blackboard NEA,
2000)

• Other Benchmark Categories
• Institutional Support incentive, rewards, plans
• Course Development processes, guidelines, teams,
  structures, standards, learning styles
• Course Structure expectations, resources
• Student Support training, assistance, info
• Faculty Support mentoring, tech support
• Evaluation and Assessment review process,
  multiple methods, specific standards

Best PracticesIs it that simple?
NOPE!!!
26
What is the single biggest obstacle to e-learning
continuing to grow and fulfilling its
potential?1. The cost of development?2. Lack
of human contact?3. Reluctance of training
departments to change?
The problem is much more likely to be plain
boredom!!!
27
Online Training Boring? From Forrester, Michelle
Delio (2000), Wired News. (Interviewed 40
training managers and knowledge officers)

Were Handing out degrees in electronic page
turning!!!

• To get the certificate, learners merely needed to
  read (i.e. click through) each screen of
  material

How Bad Is It?

• Some frustrated Blackboard users who say the
  company is too slow in responding to technical
  problems with its course-management software have
  formed an independent users group to help one
  another and to press the company to improve.
• (Jeffrey Young, Nov. 2, 2001, Chronicle of Higher
  Ed)

32
Must Online Learning be Boring?
What Motivates Adult Learners to Participate?
33
From Learning Designers to Experience Designers
(Reinhard Ziegler, March 2002, e-learning)

• How are we going to create environments,
  simulations, and real learning experiences unless
  theyve participated in them and reflected on
  their importance for themselves?the key is how
  to design the interaction so the user lives the
  experience.

34
Extrinsic Motivation

• is motivation that arises from external
  contingencies. (i.e., students who act to get
  high grades, win a trophy, comply with a
  deadlinemeans-to-an-end motivation)
• See Johnmarshall Reeve (1996). Motivating Others
  Nurturing inner motivational resources. Boston
  Allyn Bacon.

35
Intrinsic Motivation

• innate propensity to engage ones interests and
  exercise ones capabilities, and, in doing so, to
  seek out and master optimal challenges
• (i.e., it emerges from needs, inner strivings,
  and personal curiosity for growth)

See Deci, E. L., Ryan, R. M. (1985). Intrinsic
motivation and self-determination in human
behavior. NY Plenum Press.

Mapedit Tool

• Mapedit allows multiple users to add, delete, and
  move symbols and lines on the map overlay. The
  Mapedit program, was developed to create map
  overlays, emulating plastic sheets on which
  symbols are drawn that are laid onto a map. And
  if students want a whiteboard, they simply have
  to open a blank overlay (no map background).
