Fall of 2012: R685 Topical Seminar, 3 Credits

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. 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 to 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! Some of you will create and publish a cross-cultural Wikibook on Web 2.0 technology; others will create video blogs, and still others will design YouTube-like videos. 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.

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. Today a teacher, trainer, professor, or instructional designer often assumes the role of concierge with a wealth of freely available tools and resources to guide her learners. In this more open twenty-first century learning world, anyone can learn anything from anyone else at any time.

Course Goals and Objectives

After the course, students should be able to:

1. Define and use different Web 2.0 technologies;

2. Explain and demonstrate the educational benefits of podcasts, wikis, blogs, virtual worlds, simulations, social networking software, etc.

3. Critique articles related to emerging learning technologies and associated pedagogy with them.

4. Use, recommend, or create online resources and portals in a variety of educational settings.

5. Design an innovative research or evaluation project related to online learning;

6. Successfully submit research, grant, or other proposals related to learning technologies, the Web 2.0, e-learning, or systemic change in education to conferences, foundations, summits, or institutes.

7. Recognize and potentially contact many of the key players and scholars in the field of online learning and Web 2.0 learning technologies.

8. Consult with organizations to evaluate the effectiveness of e-learning courses, programs, and events as well as Web 2.0 technologies.

9. Make recommendations regarding online learning initiatives, programs, and strategies.

10. Obtain a model, guide, or framework for thinking about new technology tools and resources in education. Use this framework for strategic planning reports, retreats, consulting, and other places or situations where a macro lens on learning technology and educational reform is needed.

11. Gain confidence in creating and managing one’s own learning activities as well as supporting the self-directed learning activities of others.

12. Obtain the skills to train fellow teachers as well as learners in emerging learning technologies and pedagogically effective instructional activities and approaches.

Required Texts

Class Tasks

A. Weekly Participation and Tidbit Reflections (70 points = 40 for tidbit list and 30 for course participation)

Tidbits (40 points): Besides reading 3-4 assigned articles each week, during the semester I want you to read at least 40 total tidbits from the list of tidbit readings or about 2 or 3 per week (preferably more than 40). Typically these are very short online news or magazine articles. I also want you to watch at least 5 videos listed related to our course. On October 29th, you will turn in a 3-4 page summary of the tidbits that you read so far and indicate what you read from worst to best in order (page 1-2). On pages 3-4, I want you to briefly state why the top 10-15 were your favorites and why the bottom 1-15 were your least favorites. You might group your tidbits read by topic, trend, or technology. I am not asking you to summarize each article; instead, just rank or categorize the ones you read. You might include brief comments on what you ranked them the way you did. There is an example of a Tidbit Summary Reflection in the Resources section of Oncourse (I plan to send more via email). Post it to your Oncourse dropbox or send to me via email.

Synchronous Session: We will have some guest speakers in Adobe Connect Pro (formerly known as “Breeze”). Most will occur during class time and will be archived. We will also have weekly synchronous lectures or presentations from the instructor in Adobe Connect.

Course participation (30 points): This is worth 30 points as follows: 27-30 for high participators; 24-26 for medium participators; 21-23 for low participators; and 0-20 for others. Includes asking questions of the guest speakers and the instructor, sharing resources, responding to peers, attending most of the synchronous sessions (or, if you cannot make the meetings, sending me short emails that you have watched the archives), providing feedback on tasks and resource recommendations, and so on.

B. Weekly Personal Web 2.0 Discussions and Reflections in Oncourse, Canvas, Course Networking (CN), and Piazza (160 pts: Due November 26 or December 3rd) (30 points for starting discussion one week; 60 for weekly discussion; 30 points for peer feedback on their online discussion postings; and 40 points for final reflection paper)

Summarizer and Starter Activities Related to the Readings (30 points): I want to try something new. At the start of each week, I want one person in this class to post a short summary (perhaps listing 10 key points) on at least 4 of the main articles assigned for that week. That person is the starter for discussion. Other students will add to their conversation with their reflections and reactions. We will use four different tools for that in the following order:

1. Weeks 1-4 in Oncourse;

2. Weeks 5-8 in CourseNetworking (CN);

3. Weeks 9-12 in Canvas;

4. Weeks 13-15 in Piazza.

As a summarizer or starter, you might: (1) state reactions, questions, and suggestions for the upcoming readings; (2) point out the relationship of upcoming week topic or articles to past lectures or readings; (3) discuss the position of a researcher or pioneer in the field (or perhaps even write to him/her); (4) discuss a recent speech or colloquium you attended related to the week or a visit to a technology center or exhibit; or (5) generally relate the articles for the week to prior learning and discussion in the course. At the end of the week, you might react and reflect on the class discussion that transpired as well as the questions and concerns raised. You might also point to any unanswered questions or issues and suggest possible future directions for the course discussion. There are 30 points allocated for this task. You can sign up for this task at: http://www.trainingshare.com/r685.php

The instructional assistants and I as well as peers in the class (including a “critical friend”—see below) will give you feedback on your weekly postings. Those who are in a participant role might: (1) generally get involved in the discussion; (2) answer questions and concerns; (3) question or respond to a peer; (4) bring up a current issue, report, news article, or governmental proposal; or (5) point to a conference coming up on this topic.

Weekly discussion postings Grading Criteria (60 points): These will be graded both qualitatively (30 points) and quantitatively (30 points). You will get 30 points if you post each week. My instructional assistants and I will also look for aspects of your posts for the other 30 points (5 points each).

Diversity (some variety in ideas posted, and some breadth to exploration);
Perspective taking (values other perspectives, ideas, cultures, etc.);
Creativity (original, unique, and novel ideas);
Insightful (makes interesting, astute, and sagacious observations).
Relevancy (topics selected are connected to course content); and
Learning Depth/Growth (shows some depth to thinking and elaboration of ideas);

Critical Friend Activity (30 points): You will be assigned a critical friend to give feedback to on your Oncourse, Canvas, CN, and Piazza postings each week. You are asked to give a minimum of 15 critical friend feedback posts (30 points or 2 points per post). You should also give feedback to at least 2 other peers each week; or a minimum of three pieces of peer feedback each week in the class discussions. Push others in the class to think deeply about different issues and ideas. In addition, offer encouragement and praise when they have accurately captured a new trend or designed a new way of looking at a topic area or research article. Suggest research that they might read about or later conduct. Point out ideas across their different postings that hit on a common them or might link together. You might also offer links to other resources. Please be timely in your peer feedback. Also, try to have them filled with advice and wisdom/sagacity. They should push the thinking of your peers while also being helpful and thoughtful.

Discussion Reflection Paper (40 points): You are to reflect on what you learned from weekly discussions each week. What were the ideas, issues, concepts, facts, figures, diagrams, etc., that struck a chord with you? What did you learn during the semester? How did your thinking change in a particular week or over time? What inspired you? What did you find disappointing? What is next?

I also want you to reflect on which discussion tool or system you preferred (e.g., Oncourse, Course Networking, Canvas, or Piazza) and why. Please include advice for IU administrators making decisions. Note: students wanting to explore this further, might conduct a class research project on these tools for their midterm or final assignment in this course.

A 3-4 page single-spaced reflection paper on this activity is due December 3^rd though you can turn it in a week early (40 points). This is to be a meta-reflection of your growth in the course, unique learning insights, personal gains, etc., at least in part, from your weekly discussions and responding to your peers. What were the key concepts you grappled with this semester? How has your thinking evolved? What are the gaps in the research that you might target now? What weeks or particular articles inspired you and why? Post your reflection paper to your Oncourse dropbox or send to me via email. Please cut and paste at least 15 peer feedbacks that you gave during the semester and place them in an appendix to your reflection paper.

Reflection Paper Grading Criteria (40 Points; 10 points each):

1. Relevancy to class: meaningful examples, relationships drawn, interlinkages, connecting weekly ideas.

2. Insightful, Interesting, Reflective, Emotional: honest, self-awareness, interesting observations

3. Learning Depth/Growth: takes thoughts along to new heights, exploration, breadth & depth, growth.

4. Completeness: thorough comments, detailed reflection, fulfills assignment, informative.

Note: During the past few years, the students in this course engaged in blogging and video blogging activities. Others engaged in podcasting. Below are some of the examples. You might learn from their reflections.

C. Report or Strategic Plan Analysis or Naturalistic Study (60 pts—Due October 29th)

Midterm Option 1. Summary Report or Strategic Plan Evaluation, Critique, and Extension

Find and evaluate a summary report, technical report, or 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 it 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? 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 of 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., DVDs, brochures, white papers, technical reports, product comparison sheets, videotapes, company annual report, customer testimonies, data sheets, Web site information, etc.). Your evaluation, critique, and extension paper should be 4-8 single-spaced pages (excluding references and appendices; those working in teams are expected to have 8-12 page papers, not counting references and appendices). Please post it to your Oncourse dropbox or send to me via email on or before October 29^th (preferably earlier).

Sample reports:

The U.S. Army Learning Concept for 2015: http://www.tradoc.army.mil/tpubs/pams/tp525-8-2.pdf

Summary Report/Strategic Plan Grading (10 pts for each of the following dimensions)

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, extensive)

3. Soundness of Critique (depth, clear, complete, practical, detailed, important, coherence)

4. Creativity and Richness of Ideas (richness of information, elaboration, originality, unique)

5. Knowledge of Topic (learning breadth & depth, growth, displays understanding of topic)

6. Recommendations, Insights, and Implications (contains relevant recommendations, guides)

Option 2. Naturalistic Study

You might perform a case study or pilot observation of workers, students, etc. using tools or instructors interacting with employees, students, other instructors, etc. while they use a web-based learning tool, resources, project, or curriculum application. For instance, you might decide to complete a case study of a child, young person, or adult using a particular learning tool for the first time. Such naturalistic studies should include at least five careful observations and commentary of the person and tutor/teacher. The commentary should reflect your learning and provide insights as to how to make this tool more educationally meaningful. If you are looking at student-teacher-tool interaction patterns, teacher guidance, or simply tool use, you will need to design coding schemes and observation log sheets to help interpret tool functionality in this environment.

When done with your brief study, you might interview an instructor, learner, instructional designer, or some other person in that environment about the phenomenon that you observed. Interviewees might come from corporate, K-12, military, government, or higher education settings. These optional interviews can be live (face-to-face), via videoconferencing, phone- or Skype-based, or conducted through email.

Your naturalistic study report should be 8-12 single-spaced pages (excluding references and appendices; those working in teams are expected to have 12-16 page papers, not counting references and appendices). In your report, I want you to reflect on what you learned about e-learning from this assignment. How has it opened your eyes? What might you have done differently next time in your study? What recommendations do you have and what implications do you see? How might you put your new ideas to use in training programs or in your own future teaching? Please post it to your Oncourse dropbox or send to me via email on or before October 29^th (preferably earlier).

D. Web 2.0 Final Project (70 points—Due November 26th or December 3rd)

Option 1. Wikibook Online Work (WOW)

In this option, you help with a Wikibook related to emerging technologies. Two years ago, students from five universities designed a wikibook on “The Web 2.0 and Emerging Learning Technologies” (The WELT); see http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Web_2.0_and_Emerging_Learning_Technologies. If you write a unique chapter for the WELT, it should be a minimum of 2,000 words. A 2-3 page reflection paper on what you learned from this wikibook activity needs to be included. Describe what you learned from the task including specific course concepts and ideas mentioned in your chapter as well as ideas related to the social construction of knowledge. Attached to your reflection paper will be documentation of what you contributed to the wikibook, including your chapter (with highlights or special notations of your contribution), highlights to the chapters worked on, and perhaps even print outs of the wikibook chapter editing history. Your paper and chapter will be graded according to the dimensions listed below.

Wikibook Grading (70 Total Points or 10 pts each dimension):

1. Chapter and reflection paper relevance: Contribution is meaningful to class, we learn from it

2. Chapter and reflection paper coherence: flow, well organized, good layout, enjoyable to read

3. Chapter and reflection paper completeness: Sufficient coverage of info, extends topic and class

4. Overall 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.

Option 3. R685 Course Syllabi Historical Evaluation:

Perhaps, like me, you like history. A version R685 was first co-taught at West Virginia University by Dr. W. Michael Reed and myself back in the fall of 1990. Since that time, this course has evolved into many formats. Below are links to a dozen syllabi from the course including the present one. Unfortunately, I have yet to locate the original version. If you select this option, I want you to track the history of this course over time. For instance, you might explore the topics, people, concepts, etc., that were popular in the 1990s, 2000s, and today. You will turn in a 5-10 page single spaced paper on what you discovered. Additional pages may be attached such as reference lists, visuals depictions mapping out trends over time, correspondences with researchers about their articles from previous versions of the course, and interviews with scholars about their perceptions of changes in the field over time. You might, in fact, gather oral histories or accounts from experts as well as former students about how the field has changed.

Many questions can be asked. Among them, are there any topics that remain popular over the past two decades? How did the focus of this course change over time? Is this course more or less important today than it was back in the 1990s? Is the total number of pages any indicator of how the field has changed? If so, in what ways? Please compare the tasks from 1995 to those in 2001 or 2002 as well as 2010 or 2012. Please look at the books, journals, new sources, online resources, etc. that now comprise this course and note how they have changed over time. Is there anything from the 1990s that remains important today and should be added back to the current syllabus? Are there any tasks, activities, or articles that you found interesting and want to know more about? Is there anything that remains missing despite the fact that the current syllabus is now over 60 pages long?

You should end your paper with 1-2 page reflection of your own learning in this course. Included in that summary should be an account of what inspired or mattered to you. In addition, you might reflect on the areas wherein you learned or grew the most during the semester.

Students choosing Option 4 might design their own final project or combine ideas together into something truly unique (i.e., a mash-up). As part of this effort, they might create or perform a meaningful activity for the class. For example, you might summarize the learning principles embedded in different articles or readings for each week of the course. Or, they might create a unique categorization scheme of the technology tools and resources studied during the semester. The more ambitious of you might create an interactive multimedia glossary or comprehensive Website for the course as an individual or as part of a team. Still others might create an online database of articles from two or more open access journals related to emerging learning technologies including links to the major themes and trends in those journals over a significant period of time (e.g., 3-5 years).

There are still more options. Among them, you might create a mobile application, an educational activity in a virtual world, an interesting global collaboration activity or partnership, or a mobile book. Others might organize a class mini-conference or real conference symposium or demonstrate a set of Web 2.0 or e-learning tools to your school, company, or organization and then reflect on it. Such tools might 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.

You might also engage in a major problem-based learning project related to this class with a school, company, organization, or institution. In this option, you make the contact and find out what needs to be resolved and then get it approved by the instructor. The final product might be a Web 2.0 or distance learning 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. Whatever the problem or task, it must be authentic. Anyone selecting this option should include a 3-5 page single-spaced reflection paper on what your learned (Note: any final project report to an organization or institution can substitute for that final reflection paper). You will present the final project at the end of the semester. The grading scheme will be project specific.
