I agree with you *with emphasis*

-long post warning!-

In fact, the technology and protocols for continuous assessment of learners already exists. e-portfolios are an excellent way of organizing continuous assessment . The practice of using them is also well researched and the technologies are improving all the…[Read more]

I am enjoying our conversation as well.

I do want to stress that I do not see TEL or Technology Enhanced Learning and MOOCs – Massive Open Online Courses as one and the same thing. For me, […]

Yes, I did find your post interesting. The issues you raised and the reservations you articulate are ones that I hear often in my job and ones that I reflect on often myself. The ‘stream-of-consciousness’ writing style you used was an authentic representation of your thought process; you were being real, I w…[Read more]

Thank you for a very interesting post. You make some very pertinent and philosophical points about learners’ online experiences, both in ocTEL and generally. I am not sure that I can provide any form of resolution for the issues you raise, however, I am eager to engage with them.

With respect to asynchronicity in forum…[Read more]

I think a strategy refers to an overall plan of action. Oxford dictionary defines strategy as, “<span class=”definition”>A plan of action or policy designed to achieve a long term or overall aim”.</span>

I think  the concept strategy can operate on a variety of levels in education. Teachers may have instructional strategies or plans of…[Read more]

@gary: A good question!  I don’t really feel qualified to talk about the artistic process but for artists, I am sure that there must be some types of  general skills  and tasks that help to define their practice. Identifying th…[Read more]

Authentic assessment , as I meant it, referred to the processes and products of  a particular practice or discipline.

I agree with you that learning is both individual and social. And I do agree that variety in the learning environment is important for engagement; monotonous note-taking would dull anyone’s mind.

However, assessment doesn’t have to be only ‘individual and directed”. I agree that there needs to be the certification of individual…[Read more]

I too have observed that when some students are confronted with the “wide open spaces” of self-directed learning, they can become overwhelmed and have difficulty in figuring out how to proceed.
This may be because, as you suggest, that students are used to learning  as being comprised of very structured activities in which their role…[Read more]

Bear with me as I play devil’s advocate here; I am hoping this exercise will lead to some fruitful thoughts. Yes, this course has a start and and end date and instructional content that is consistent.for all participants, objectively, then, it has the structure and requirements of a “course”.

@ Graham, :-) Yes, it can seem like an uphill struggle to keep up with all the new social media tools available and coming on the market.
