7Pedagogical 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
8Research 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
9Poor 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
10Collaborative and Constructivist Web Tasks
(McLoughlin Oliver, 1999 Oliver McLoughlin,
1999))
- Apprenticeship QA Ask an Expert (chats
async). - Case-Based and Simulated Learning exchange
remote views enact events online. - Active Learning Design Web pages and project
databases. - Reflective/Metacognitive Learning Reflect in
online journals, bulletin boards - Experiential Learning Post (articulate ideas) to
discussion groups - Authentic Learning PBL, search current databases
11Framework for Pedagogical CMC Techniques(Paulsen,
1995, The Online Report on Pedagogical
Techniques for Computer-Mediated Communication)
- One-alone Techniques Online journals, online
databases, interviews, online interest groups. - One-to-one Techniques Learning contracts,
internships, apprenticeships. - One-to-many Techniques Lectures, symposiums,
skits. - Many-to-many Techniques Debates, simulations,
games, case studies, discussion groups,
brainstorming, Delphi techniques, nominal group
process, forums, group projects.
12Ideal 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
13Considerations 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
14Pedagogical 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
15Just 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
16But how to determine the pedagogical quality of
courses and course materials you develop?
17Quality 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
18Quality 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

- Level 10 Course within Programmatic Initiative
24What are your best practices???
25Best PracticesIs it that simple?
NOPE!!!
26What 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!!!
27Online Training Boring? From Forrester, Michelle
Delio (2000), Wired News. (Interviewed 40
training managers and knowledge officers)
28Were Handing out degrees in electronic page
turning!!!
- To get the certificate, learners merely needed to
read (i.e. click through) each screen of
material

31How 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)
32Must Online Learning be Boring?
What Motivates Adult Learners to Participate?
33From 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.
34Extrinsic 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.
35Intrinsic 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.
36Motivational Terms?See Johnmarshall Reeve
(1996). Motivating Others Nurturing inner
motivational resources. Boston Allyn Bacon.

38Tone Ice Breakers
- Introductions require not only that students
introduce themselves, but also that they find and
respond to two classmates who have something in
common (Serves dual purpose of setting tone and
having students learn to use the tool) - 99 Seconds of Fame In an online synchronous
chat, give each student 99 seconds to present
themselves and field questions.
391. Tone/ClimateIce Breakers

people with diff experiences (e.g., soccer
parent, runner, pet lovers, like music, outdoor
person). Find those with similar interests. - Complete eval form where list people in class and
interests. Most names wins. - Chat Room Buds Create a discussion prompt in one
of X number of chat rooms. Introduce yourself
in the chat room that interests you.
42Multiple Rooms for Chat
431. Tone/ClimateIce Breakers
- Storytelling Cartoon Time Find a Web site that
has cartoons. Have participants link their
introductionsor stories to a particular cartoon
URL. Storytelling is a great way to communicate
(alternative post favorite Web site).
http//www.curtoons.com/cartooncoll.htm - Two Truths, One Lie
- Tell 2 truths and 1 lie about yourself
- Class votes on which is the lie
442. FeedbackA. Requiring Peer Feedback

472. Feedback (Instructor)B. Anonymous Suggestion
Box
- George Watson, Univ of Delaware, Electricity and
Electronics for Engineers - Students send anonymous course feedback (Web
forms or email) - Submission box is password protected
- Instructor decides how to respond
- Then provide response and most or all of
suggestion in online forum - It defuses difficult issues, airs instructor
views, and justified actions publicly. - Caution If you are disturbed by criticism,
perhaps do not use.
482. FeedbackC. Double-Jeopardy Quizzing
- Gordon McCray, Wake Forest University, Intro to
Management of Info Systems - Students take objective quiz (no time limit and
not graded) - Submit answer for evaluation
- Instead of right or wrong response, the quiz
returns a compelling probing question, insight,
or conflicting perspective (i.e., a counterpoint)
to force students to reconsider original
responses - Students must commit to a response but can use
reference materials - Correct answer and explanation are presented
492. FeedbackD. Async Self-Testing and
Self-Assessments
502. FeedbackE. Synchronous Testing
Assessment(Giving Exams in the Chat Room!, Janet
Marta, NW Missouri State Univ, Syllabus, January
2002)

experience. - Example In a course on Technology Culture,
students freely shared experiences of visiting
grandparents on rural farms. The discussion led
to a greater interest in the readings.
564. Meaningfulness B. Perspective Taking
Foreign Languages
- Katy Fraser, Germanic Studies at IU and Jennifer
Liu, East Asian Languages and Cultures at IU - Have students receive e-newsletters from a
foreign magazine as well as respond to related
questions. - Students assume roles of those in literature from
that culture and participate in real-time chats
using assumed identity. - Students use multimedia and Web for self-paced
lessons to learn target language in authentic
contexts.
574. Meaningfulness C. Expert Job Interviews
- 1. Field Definition Activity Have student
interview (via e-mail, if necessary) someone
working in the field of study and share their
results - As a class, pool interview results and develop a
group description of what it means to be a
professional in the field
584. MeaningfulnessD. Job or Field Reflections

Shackelford, Sosin) http//ecedweb.unomaha.edu/j
its.htm
- Syllabus is created as a "shell" which is
thematically organized and contains print, video,
and web references as well as assignments. - Goal critical thinking (analysis, evaluation),
developing student interests, collaboration,
discussion - e.g., Economics instructors incorporate
time-sensitive data, on-line discussions, and Web
links into the delivery of most of the
undergraduate courses in economics. Instructor
reads and summarizes responses before class and
weaves them into discussion and changes the
lecture as appropriate. - e.g., To teach or expand discussion of supply or
elasticity, an instructor adds new links in the
