ok i fibbed i am not going to give you the magic bullet that will make you an uber student being able to tackle three graduate classes a family and full time work heck i don t have those answers to give the situations recently where people tried to tap into the secrets i have for being able to manage a full graduate course load plus a full time job made me think of a seminar that i had as an undergraduate called study smarter not harder at the time i was overwhelmed with working two part time jobs 45 55 hours per week plus a full course load 4 courses i was tired i was stressed and i was looking for a magic bullet when i went to this seminar i thought to myself whaaaat seriously your tip is not not leave things till the last minute wow now that is a revelation my workflow i e tips or magic bullet works for me but it is not a guarantee that it works for everyone and in all situations so post a comment read more moodle and web 2 0 get link facebook x pinterest email other apps october 21 2009 i cam across this presentation recently on moodle and web 2 0 features web 2 0 tools and techniques view more presentations from mark drechsler yes it is quite interesting but i think that lms creators are missing the point the reason why web 2 0 is popular is because you are not in a walled garden the content is open to the greater internet using community and you ve got many many users creating posting remixing tagging and categorizing this information in an lms you ve got 30 people max and at the end of the semester that work is lost to the student and it s not accessible to new students in essence at the end of each semester you have a tabula rasa web 2 0 will work for education in some instances if the walled garden approach is taken however it will really fly if we move beyond the mindset of each semester being a separate island if we want to use web 2 0 tools effectively post a comment read more a successful student get link facebook x pinterest email other apps october 19 2009 i ve had a couple of interactions with recent grad students tapping into my knowledge of the system there is no doubt that in each person s mind they want to be a successful student however the definition of what a successful student is varies from person to person some people want to be a successful student that takes as many courses as possible in order to graduate as soon as possible they generally seem to look for courses that are low impact so that they can get that coveted easy a i guess this would be the grad school equivalent of speed dating but instead of partners it s courses and and the end of the night instead of a name and number your get a degree in my opinion this isn t being a successful student in many respects it s probably a short term success and a long term failure so do grades not matter should we take the slow path through grad school those are silly questions no you should not take the slow path through post a comment read more open source textbooks get link facebook x pinterest email other apps october 16 2009 file this under random thoughts so we ve been talking about textbooks in my linguistics classes for the last couple of semesters and how most of them suck when it comes to language learning my classmates who do teach languages for their day jobs constantly find creative ways of working through the deficiencies of the texts that they are saddled with on the other side of the fence in instructional design we do talk about materials selection and if there is material that will fit your needs appropriate it otherwise make your own if time and money are not an issue i happened to read a blog post recently with language learning resources on the web and i was reminded again of wikibooks this lead me down the path of open source textbooks such as wikibooks and flat world the big question here is why don t we do it why don t we subject matter experts get together and create language textbooks that don t suck get some linguists some language experts and post a comment read more the dewey dilemma get link facebook x pinterest email other apps october 14 2009 time to put on the librarian hat sooooo i was reading on library journal recently and article called the dewey dilemma for those of you how haven t stepped foot in a public library recently most books are categorized according to the dewey decimal system see this wiki article for more info on the ddc now many libraries are trying to make their collections more accessible to the public and they are thinking of either switching to the bisac system the one used in bookstores in the us or having some sort of hybrid system between dewey and bisac as i was reading this article and as i have followed along with debates on listservs on the issue i can say that this is not a dewey system it s not even a classification issue how you organize books rather it s an issue of how your customers or patrons in library speak are looking for information what is the purpose of the library and how are are people going about their information post a comment read more anyone can do instructional design get link facebook x pinterest email other apps october 12 2009 in these past couple of weeks i ve seen a number of articles where people talk about instructional design as something a laysme layman subject matter expert can or can t do first i saw gina s post about whether someone should be doing id even though they can gina makes some pretty interesting points about whether people should do instructional design even though they think they can this lead straight to blog posts like instructional design pah who needs it and a hello world approach to teaching instructional design finally a good post was do learners really need learning objectives i urge you to go out an read these posts they are pretty interesting of course you come where for what i think so what do i think personally i think that anyone can do instructional design because instructional design jobs are poorly described an instructional design job can be an lms administrator a wimba or adobe connect support person an educational technologist

cypriot word anyway came up the word is καλαμαράς kalamaras which in cypriot apparently is penpusher you know a bureaucrat this word is fascinating the root of the word is καλαμάρι kalamari yes as in calamari squid why because that s where ink comes from in new years carols santa claus saint basil actually brings χαρτί paper and καλαμάρι pen this is the only instance that i know of where καλαμάρι is used as the word for pen in greek the suffix of the word is ας a person who deals with whatever the prefix is so in this case the person that deals with pens i suppose that it might also mean a squid fisherman but penpusher sounds like a better use of the word it s amazing the things you learn post a comment read more quack quack get link facebook x pinterest email other apps october 07 2009 i was reading an article on science direct on librarianship education i am surprised that there is such a fuss over a name however in a profession that only accepts individuals who received their degree from an ala accredited institution it makes sense personally i think that librarianship for the purposes of working in a public or academic library is something that you don t need a masters degree in library or information science you probably need a degree of some other sort to make you a subject matter expert in something but things like reference and cataloguing don t require an mlis a recent exchange with an mlis colleague shows this the comment was that this individual did not want to catalogue because it was mindless they should hire a paraprofessional for that if you look at masters level lis work in greece for instance you will see more theoretical work done work on international standards work on theory work on integrating non lis professions and post a comment read more studies on multitasking missing the point get link facebook x pinterest email other apps october 05 2009 a few weeks back i starred this article on my google reader i actually found it interesting because i have been known to multitask depending on whom you ask you may find me to be a heavy multitasker or a mild multitasker i found a few quotes necessitated expansion perhaps what we are doing multitasking has nothing to do with efficiency i don t operate the way i do with the principal goal of speeding things up my motivations are much more complex and diffused i am not trying to speed up how quickly i shift from one thing to another instead i am involved in a stream of activities in which other people figure prominently either synchronously through direct discussion a la twitter or im or indirectly through their writings and my responses in many cases i leave activities dangling because i don t know exactly how i feel about them in some cases i could resolve my feelings and take some action if i simply stopped other activities and focused solely on that post a comment read more abilene christian university one year later get link facebook x pinterest email other apps october 02 2009 i was reading this post on inside higher ed about the findings of abilene christian university a year after they started giving an ipod touch or iphone to each incoming freshman this was quite an interesting article to read and partly because of the high success rating from both students and faculty i wonder how many instructional technologists and how many instructional designers they had on board to prepare for the on slaught of course conversions or content additions to be able to use iphone as an actual learning tool rather than a gimmick device one of my favorite tools is profcast which takes powerpoint and keynote slides and allows you to narrate them similar to adobe s presenter the difference is that they are made into podcasts instead of streaming video files i would take downloadable podcasts over streaming files any day of the week post a comment read more the role of theory in instructional design get link facebook x pinterest email other apps september 30 2009 i was reading this article a week or so ago on the role that theory plays in instructional design even though the study was very limited only 7 participants and in several different industries i ve seen similar results when working with my classmates i should point out that this post is not meant to criticize my classmates but to point out observations in the instructional design field as a whole the researchers in this study found ten themes participant desire to use theory and report that they often do participants expressed ambivalence toward theory theories were viewed as overly abstract rigid or complex with relatively little guidance regarding application the range of theories chose are likely limited to those that practitioners know about understand how to apply and find useful in their work the researchers then suggested that practitioners may seldom identify theories that are actually useful in their specific setting even if a helpful theory exis post a comment read more heard this before get link facebook x pinterest email other apps september 28 2009 i was reading an article recently on the washington post the title of which was a virtual revolution is brewing for colleges quite honestly i ve heard this before and i ve been hearing this for the last ten years still hasn t happened here s an interesting quote the young students of tomorrow will be growing up in an on demand personalized world in which the notion of a set term offline prepackaged education will seem anachronistic in my experience there have been very few prepackaged classes in all of my undergrad education we ve had guidelines about what should be covered however the classes were anything but prepackaged we did get off syllabus we did explore interesting tangents and the students who were in the class did offer valuable insights another interesting quote soon you ll see more web sites that make it easy to take classes from a blend of different universities while this would be interesting there is a problem of accreditatio post a comment read more free food get link facebook x pinterest email other apps september 25 2009 with the beginning of the semester behind us and the opening festivities almost behind us as well this puts an end to the free food on campus i guess we re back to normal now as indicated by this phd comic

interesting concept but i don t really buy into it blackboard it toxic at the moment many people who use it absolutely despise it microsoft already has image problems having one more image problem is not something that they need to fix their brand if microsoft were to buy blackboard they would probably buy them and end of life all current blackboard products with the exception of angel that product seems to be loved by the people who use it however this is unlikely many customers would probably prefer to see upgrades to blackboard vista and ce to make them more intuitive rather than switch to another product altogether since there are course conversion costs converting existing templates training people training faculty troubleshooting etc and if microsoft were to kill off the troubled children of blackboard this could compound on their existing image problems if microsoft were to enter the lms cms ar post a comment read more i don t get lrnchat get link facebook x
