Course
Description and Rationale:
When
it comes to perspectives on teaching and learning, the Web 2.0 has changed
everything! Don’t believe it? Back in December, Time Magazine named “you”
as the person of the year. The Web 2.0
(also called the Read-Write Web) empowers learners to generate ideas and
comments online, rather than simply read or browse someone else’s. In effect, instead of passive consumption-based
learning, we are living in a participatory age where learners have a voice and
potentially some degree of ownership over their own learning. Here at the start of the twenty-first
century, emerging technologies – such as online photo albums, blogs, wikis,
podcasts, ebooks, YouTube videos, massive multiplayer online games, simulations,
virtual worlds, and wireless and mobile computing – are generating waves of new
opportunities in higher education, K-12 schools, corporate training, and other
learning environments.
And
today’s millennial learner, immersed in an increasingly digital world is
seeking richer and more engaging learning experiences. Amid this rising tide of expectations, instructors
across educational sectors are exploring and sharing innovative ways to use
technology to foster interaction, collaboration, and increased excitement for
learning. Unfortunately, as any high
school student will tell you, this is far less common than most would hope. In response, it is time to take advantage of
the new participatory learning culture where learners build, tinker with,
explore, share, and collaborate with others online. It is also time exploit free and open educational
resources, opencourseware, learning portals, and open source software across
educational sectors and income levels. This
course, therefore, will be a journey into the learning technologies (i.e.,
nature), pedagogical opportunities (i.e., nurture), and the people, societies,
and cultures where this is happening now!
We will create and publish a cross-cultural Wikibook on Web 2.0
technology. We will explore the
motivational and educational value of YouTube and other online videos and
create a few of our own. Of course, we will also blog on our experiences. And we might even create a few class podcasts
or vodcasts.
In
an age when eyeball-to-eyeball learning is no longer necessary, effective
online instructors do not simply teach but moderate, coach, and assist in the
learning process. As proof, dozens of
pedagogical strategies utilizing Web 2.0 and other emerging learning
technologies will be demonstrated, evaluated, tested, and discussed. As part of this, Bonk will present his
“WE-ALL-LEARN,” “R2D2,” and “TEC-VARIETY” frameworks. Importantly, strategies discussed and modeled
will address learning in all formats—K-12, higher education, corporate,
university, military settings, etc.
You-Too can participate.

===========================================================================
Class Tasks:
A. Weekly
Attendance, YouTube, and Being Energetic (WAYTaBE). (50 points = 15
pts for attendance; 15 pts for participation; 20 points for YouTube
presentation)
Besides
reading 3 assigned articles each week, during the semester I want you to read 15
other articles or tidbits from the packet of readings. You must also bring one educational YouTube
video or other online learning resource to show in class for 10 minutes 1-2
times during the semester. In terms of
class attendance, it is your responsibility to come to class and experience the
unique activities that will be incorporated into each class. A combination of readings, verbal and written
reactions to ideas, observing demonstration tools or videos, and hands-on
activities will be critical to your growth as a class. Keep in mind that I want to hear from
you! Participation is encouraged at
all times.
B. Blogging or
Movie Making (Blogging M&Ms) (90
pts: Due December 3rd)
Option
1: Blogging. Instead of a
large class discussion forum, I want to have everyone to create a Weblog (i.e.,
a blog) to reflect on his/her personal article readings and ideas related to
class. You might also blog on the
progress of the Wikibook we will develop as a class. Minimum of 15 posts (30 points). You will be assigned a critical friend to
give feedback to on their postings each week (20 points). You might create a Blog using Pitas.com,
Blogger.com, LiveJournal, Diaryland, Free-Conversant, or some other blogging
tool. A 2-4 page single spaced reflection
paper on this activity is due December 3rd with your blog postings attached (40
points).
Option
2: Movie Making: Video Blogging, Video Podcast, or YouTube Video. I like options
and challenges and I bet so do you! Instead
of a blog, you might experiment with a video blog (for 5 bonus points). Or you
might create a YouTube video instead of doing a blog. Or you might create a Video Podcast or
series of class podcasts instead of the blog.
You must still do the final 2-4 page single spaced reflection paper on your
activity.
Sample Grading Criteria
(30%--60 Points; 10 points a piece):
1.
Relevancy to class: meaningful examples, relationships drawn, interlinkages,
connecting weekly ideas.
2.
Interesting/Insightful: interesting reflections (or cool video created),
originality displayed, unique ideas.
3.
Completeness: thorough comments, detailed reflection, fulfills assignment (or
quality video).
4.
Depth: moves thoughts along to new heights, exploration is fostered, breadth
& depth, growth is seen.
5.
Diversity: some variety in ideas, some breadth to exploration, can see other
perspectives, flexible.
6.
Reflective: self-awareness and learning displayed in reflection, coherent and
informative reflection.
C. Midterm
Assignment Reality Check (MARC) (50 pts—Due
October 15th)
Option
1: Wikibook Chapter Search and Summary. In this option, you are to find 15-30
articles related to your final Wikibook project and summarize them into mini1-2
paragraph abstracts and notes. Turn in a
3-4 page single spaced reflection paper on the direction of your project and
your learning to date. Why is the topic
important and interesting? Attached to
the paper should be your abstracts, drafts of the chapter so far, and a
personal timeline for completion of your wikibook project.
Option
2: Web 2.0 or E-Learning Interviews. In this option, I want you to interview
at least one instructor who is teaching or has taught online courses,
workshops, or events as well as a student who has taken such a course. Or, interview an instructor who has used Web
2.0 technologies in teaching and a student who has used Web 2.0 technologies in
learning. Interviewees might come from
corporate, K-12, military, government, or higher education settings. Interviews can be live (face-to-face), via
phone or videoconferencing, or conducted through email. You might also perform case studies, focus
group sessions, or pilot observations of instructors or learners using online
learning tools in a school, workplace, or informal learning setting. You are to document their life as a Web 2.0
user or online participant (timeframe up to you). In effect, I want you to gather their life
histories as a technology learner or instructor and compare these to their
online experiences. Then I want you to
create a visual representation that compares or relates your stories from both
the online instructors and students. Please
include interview questions in an appendix.
In your report, I want you to reflect on what you learned about e-learning
from this assignment. How might you put
some of their ideas to use in training programs or in your own teaching? Have these interviews opened your eyes? What might you have done differently? Your
reflection paper should be 4-5 single spaced pages. The visual is in addition to this.
Option
3: Visual Representation. Sometime people
struggle to make sense of all the changes in learning technologies. They need models and frameworks that simplify
and explain things. In this option, I
want you to create a visual that summarizes some key aspect of your learning in
this course or that uniquely organizes some of the information. This visual representation might be in the
form of a timeline, model, framework, acronym, figure, diagram, a comparative
flowchart, taxonomy, a Venn Diagram, or a comparison and contrast table or matrix. Include a 3-4 page single spaced reflection
paper with this visual. We will share
these visuals with the class when done.
Option
4: Strategic Plan Critique and Extension: Find and evaluate a strategic plan of a
company, university, non-profit organization, school, state, province, country,
or region related to the Web 2.0 or e-learning and critique it. For instance, you might pick the state or
country where you were born or perhaps where you plan to live after
graduation. You might find the strategic
plan online or request a hardcopy version.
I want you to not simply read and critique the report but to also
interview someone who created or is/was affected by that report. You might discuss and critique the online
learning technologies highlighted, proposed pedagogical plans, intended
training methods, targeted skills or competencies, or evaluation methods
detailed. You might visit the institution
or organization or write someone an email.
What might this organization do differently in planning for e-learning
or using the Web 2.0? What are its
competitors doing, for instance? Has
there been an update? (Note: I may have
access to a couple reports from different countries that I can share as
examples.) You are encouraged to work in
teams on this report. When done, you
will present an overview of the report to the class. Testimonials, graphs and trends indicated
growth, comparisons, and other data or handouts are welcome. You are also encouraged to directly contact
the organization that developed the report or plan and receive additional
product information (e.g., CDs, brochures, white papers, technical reports,
product comparison sheets, videotapes, company annual report, customer
testimonies, data sheets, Web site information, etc.). Your critique should be 4-5 single spaced
pages (excluding appendices).
1.
Review of Plan or Document (clarity,
related to class, organized, facts, data, relevant, style)
2.
Relevant Resources and Digging (citations/refs,
linkages to class concepts, completeness)
3.
Soundness of Critique (clear, complete,
practical, detailed, important, implications, coherence)
4.
Creativity and Richness of Ideas (richness
of information, elaboration, originality, unique)
D. Wikibook Online
Work (WOW) (70
points—Due December 3rd)
In this class, we will create a
Wikibook related to emerging technologies.
We will use Wikispaces and perhaps post to the official wikispace
Website. Everyone will write one chapter
or a significant chuck of one and edit 2 or more chapters of their peers. You can collaboratively write a chapter with
someone else. We will likely collaboratively work with Dr. Inae Kang’s class at
Nari Kim may conduct a research
study related to your Wikibook Online Work (WOW) participation, so please try
to WOW her and everyone else!
Participation in this research (such as interviews, surveys, or focus
groups) is optional.
=================================================
Wikibook
Grading (50 Total Points or 10 pts each dimension):
1.
Chapter relevance—Topic and contribution is meaningful and relevant to class,
we learn from it
2.
Chapter creativity—Original and distinctive ideas, insightful points, something
unique in it such as a figure, model, graph, timeline, comparison chart,
acronym, quote or set of quotes, etc.
3.
Chapter coherence—Good flow, well organized, good layout, enjoyable to read
4.
Chapter completeness—Sufficient coverage of information, extends topic and
class
5.
Helpfulness on other chapters—provided feedback to others, much work documented
Presentation Points: (20 Points or 5 pts
for each dimension)
- Organization:
good pace, flow, coherent, and transitions
- Creative/Interesting:
audience engaged, presenters showcase their creative ideas
- Completeness:
thorough presentation without going beyond time limits
- Informative:
Handout(s), relevance, practical, helps make connections
=================================================
E. Options to one
of the above assignments:
In
place of task B or C (maybe to D—depends on class size), you might volunteer to
create a usable class product (e.g., an online glossary, a Web site for the
class, a database of articles on different class themes, organize a class mini-conference
or real conference symposium, review a key journal in the field for major
themes or trends and share that research with the class, etc.) or you might
demonstrate a Web 2.0 or e-learning tool to the class. Such a tool may have relevance in K-12,
military, corporate, or higher education settings or perhaps in more informal
settings such as a museum, zoo, or computer club. See the instructor about the possibilities of
demonstrating a particularly interesting e-learning tool you have found. You might have other task option preferences. Or you might trade a task for a major problem-based
learning project related to this class with a company, organization, or
institution. You make the contact and
find out what needs to be resolved and then get it approved by the
instructor. It might be a Web 2.0 or
distance earning evaluation project. It
might involve the design of e-learning tools and resources. It might entail the creation of a strategic
plan, white paper, or vision statement.
It might involve the creation of an e-learning conference or journal.
Whatever the problem or task, it must be an authentic activity. You will present the final project at the end
of the semester.
