Here's my latest project:
incorporated subversion: the book - plans for facilitating learning online
This is a project in which I'm aiming to design and collate a ton of plans for facilitating learning online for use by people teaching online. While the specs for it are infinitely flexible the basic idea is that I'm going to write and collate plans for teaching online under the following general headings:
plans for facilitating learning online with...
...discussion boards
...email and email groups
...weblogs and rss
...chat rooms and MOOs
...IM and video conferencing
At the moment I feel that it's better to categorize plans by technology rather than by, say, subject matter or activity type as I'd like this to be as applicable as possible across the entire higher education field and as pedagogically they're kind of underwritten by the idea of incorporated subversion so you can be pretty sure that these will be about facilitating exploration and expression (.pdf of Davis Squires 1999 paper).
Hopefully this will burgeon into a great free resource for people who are teaching online. In the future it might become a book or it might not (I've always wanted to write a real book :o)... either way all of the content, feedback and ideas will remain online free for anybody to access.
I'll try to put up plans as often as I can and will certainly (with a little editorial involvement ;o) post any plans that otherws would like to share. These are all CC licensed and please please please please do share your thoughts on the plans and, if at all possible, try them out and tell us how they went.
Oh yeh, you can subscribe to the project website or any of the categories (links above) to just receive plans in that area.
