Greg Hanek on Educational uses of Weblogs. Quote: "For sometime now, I've been pondering what role the use of blogs might have in the classroom. I have even made some half-attempts at writing down my thoughts about same, and sent a few emails about same. Now it's time to start going more public with some of my half-baked notions, and seeing what discourse might come about from it" Comment: Seems like a plan. The list is good. Faculty do want engaged students and that frequently means reflective students. To reflect you need a personal space to do it in, ergo weblogs. [Serious Instructional Technology] 8:36:54 AM | # | |

Stephen's Web: EML. Quote: "Modeling Units of Study from a Pedagogical Perspective This is an important paper, one that should be read by everyone involved in the design of learning objects. The paper starts with the premise, roughly stated, that learning objects, while important, are not the key thing in effective learning process. Rather, what puts the 'learning' into online learning is the organization of the learning process. The model typically employed and described by, say, IEEE-LOM, is not sufficient to describe many learning processes. This paper proposes a language to describe learning processes, based on EML" 8:34:57 AM | # | |
