posted message: Just a reminder to FOLLOWERS of this course: we've created a very simple (six questions!) survey for all the followers of CSCL intro. Since "following" is a new concept, it's really important to us to hear about the experiences of people who followed the course, how the course was (or was not) useful, how the functionality did (or did not) support following, etc. So far, about eight have replied, which is great, but there are 49 followers, and we would REALLY APPRECIATE a few more replies! Even if you did _nothing_ after signing up to follow, that is _still_ very useful information to us, and we'd really appreciate it if you took three minutes! THANKS! http://goo.gl/SWTR0
posted message: We have created a survey for followers (not core participants), about your experience following this course - this is really crucial for us to improve this experience (from a software perspective and a design perspective) for future courses, and we would really appreciate if as many as possible could answer - there are only 6 questions so it will only take you five minutes. Thanks! http://goo.gl/SWTR0
posted message: I've gathered quite an impressive list of edutech related wikis, and glossaries here: http://reganmian.net/wiki/edutech_wikis -- some of these are really helpful in quickly explaining what "scripting", "adaptive learning" etc mean. I hope to spend more time to review them and find out which are really helpful in the future. I also wrote to the head of CSCL community relations and asked about an online space for CSCL conversations.
posted message: Hi all, Alexander (Sandy) McAuley has just confirmed his participation this Saturday at the usual time. I really hope you'll all give him a warm welcome - by reading the IRRODL article about Nunavut, and showing up :) We might be using another environment than Etherpad, but I will post about that here before the event. See you all then!
posted message: Hey guys. One of the blog posts from this course about scaffolding was just picked up by Stephen Downes' newsletter: http://www.downes.ca/post/55636. Not only did this expose our class to thousands of his readers, but there was also a tiny discussion on his webpage. This is the kind of "amplification" that is possible with an open course - something I hope to see more of in the future! It's also a reminder that although we can spend lot's of time discussing what kind of OER we want to generate from the course, the blog posts themselves are really valuable to many people. I hope to see many great blog posts this week - let's finish strong!
posted message: Hey all, we'll meet as usual this afternoon (or tomorrow morning for me and Jennifer) at 5PM EST on Etherpad: http://piratepad.net/cscl6 Please have a read through the Puntambekar article first! We're almost "in goal", let's keep up the steam for the final weeks. (My initial notes on the article are here: http://reganmian.net/blog/2011/06/04/scaffolding-and-support-for-collaborative-learning/
posted message: Hi CSCLers -
I probably won't be able to make this week's group meeting. I will be up at a cottage with my research group - we do have wifi, so if I am still there (I might be enroute back to the city) I will drop in on the convo. Also, not sure where to post this kind of info.
Have a good meeting, everyone!
Rebecca
