Key Assumptions: http://lowery.tamu.edu/Teaming/Morgan1/sld023.htm Emerging, inconclusive Tool-focused, typically a single-tool Attempts to prove “effectiveness” or profess “The Right Way” to use the tool Contextually bound, often not generalizable http://www.flickr.com/photos/jannem/3312116875/ effective interactive knowledge-exchange tools support unique voices empower learners to assert their ideas and opinions encouraging to think critically foster reflection, facilitate deeper connection richer understanding due to hyperlinks, contextual information and revisiting concepts (Herring et al., 2004; Oravec, 2002; Ferdig & Trammel, 2004, Koschmann at al., 1996) benefits not same for all users open nature can intimidate learners and discourage use must be kept active and maintained require a high level of learner and instructor motivation to participate (Saeed et al., 2008; Raymond Tri-Dang Firpo et al., 2009; Mason & Rennie, 2008) Chat Forums Wikis Social Bookmarking Research is not broadly conclusive Too tool-focused Learning environments are nuanced!

KEY ASSUMPTIONS: ? ? ? http://lowery.tamu.edu/Teaming/Morgan1/sld023.htm Each course used the SMC differently Usage was focused around one tool and that tool differed across courses Instructors used the tools differently Differences in use across students within a course Many different types of influence Course Tool Used Course 1 Blog Course 2 Wiki Course 3 Blog Course 4 Forums Directives - instructions, modeling Participation - instructor posts or comments Grading - grading usage on the site “I commented on posts. I made blog posts. That's important because it let’s them know that I read them and you have to be credible.” ASSIGNMENT #1: 1. Find a news story 2. Blog about it and tag it 3. Add the link as a Social Bookmark and tag it Course Attributes Social Norms Student Familiarity or Preference Interplay between!! “It’s a different style of reading...At some point I have to be like, I cannot spend anymore time on this class. ” “I felt like the concepts were more difficult to grasp in Course 1 and lent themselves more to discussions and stories on the blog.” “Since no one was using it, I didn't use it. You don't want to waste your time writing something that no one is going to look at.” “Blogging is something I do anyway so it’s just a natural form for me to kick around ideas.” In some cases, students ‘took over’ tool Used it to self-direct learning Extremely valuable observation to explore further “Once it became a habit, no grading incentives were needed.” “Since it wasn't clear about how we needed to use it or if it was graded, we used it the way that we wanted to.” “I think the more that I would go in there and read the posts and try to put in my own two cents, the more I liked it and the more I wanted to use it. ” Much of existing literature is tool-focused Align certain learning activities with certain tools We saw each tool used for wide range of learning activities No “one-use-fits-each-tool” Convergence of tools OR evidence of student’s adapting tool to their needs Call for switch of focus Start with underlying goal or objective, then apply technology Multiple tools could do the job Easier for instructors to approach, integrate, evaluate Students struggled with work-load balance Instructors faced many social, pedagogical and technical challenges Were able to overcome social and pedagogical, but technical was a show stopper Instructors said that they would use the system again, but with adaptations “Some call it ‘fun' and it’s like, no it’s actually work. Staying on top of what people are posting, commenting and finding your own stuff is actually a lot of work.” I haven’t used it much because I hate passwords, and I forget them and cannot access the site. I would devote 15 minutes of each lecture to talk about the blog. That says: I did read this stuff, I’m going to give you credit for figuring out a good thing, and I’ll give you some air time.

. . . . the shining as a . I mean is there are can inherent in wearing the hats women and ten Assistant Professor Georgetown University right Teaching the city's Department . Steve Architect apply for and product management strategy that primary here today and why has the research is to see at the blackboardinstitute . you're not really in sixteen . it's a non-profit arm up for any race with others around the world research projects like this with Erin Knight . he's Research Director Center for Next Generation Teaching and Learning School of Information UC Berkeley . How does present a serious technology at stake it's not just on Blackboard in fact he probably won't care Blackboard during unrest in its present age . it's show background time Texas jury media . we needed by preferred media or the media for sure . part in the air . the No . Web two point air Social Media and collaboration on why this is handset twenty nine ERA . on E and to give readers to write any of tools in the context of this research project only tools they use for learning collaboration . live to be using Alliance are commonly associated with plenty of blame to by were also in creating discussion forums and chat in and that a carrier has said research means for word for looking at ways that they're seeing her and schools can be in steering chance for engagement . our presence awareness . he and other ways for students do you find and engagement on the other . cs . this life because it is important now that the principles the high using these tools are not new to take a solid body of early twentieth century research begins as a framework for investigation . and more recently sc on areas of study that is a very specific and that can be WHY to lead to higher tolls . we sometimes hear present a centered people are talking at these tools can have a the news is if this is just sprung up by now where in fact there's a lack of work it's are you contending the serious they can be useful a apply . Sweeney Research Distance said get back to these forty years in creating a lot in the search stand by and see researchers . I was talking to someone at the conference last month . he pointed out correctly that . so things they were looking at in terms of free samples team motivation where things that Distance and researchers are looking at twenty years ago because he the words heating up Pre based Distance education he needed to hear our house Tuesday be motivated to work on around email things back and try instructors to provide timely feedback where timely in that context actually had some other more serious limitations . again the point being that . Distance education gives us the game . grounding inside with characters that were looking at today . the social sciences give us did studies for example and healing motivations can get my not necessarily be him nation and Learning at studies that can indicate how learning environments can be impacted by . other factors in terms of what motivate people . and then the growing strain audio Learning Sciences Research is brilliant said . ten solid studies of how people learn why they learned . but states have to be Applied Center which is actual Brain based research that looks at the Chemistry of what's happening in someone's brain when their learning . I mean these are current Sciences said he knew things that . given the opportunity . see you . and Billy seems learning based on and more knowledge than we ever had before . show . this is why . there is a comeback in a few minutes when she's talking about research results anywhere like to make here . in terms the context of research is that there is a body Research . it's all is it that our retention improved learning at times can be a stay sixty three a more active learning processes . said are scenes needs U WIRE twenty first Century Learning skills in terms and how they can actively can seem information how they can collaborating with others in making the need of having conceded deeper understanding that acceptable to various circumstances . and . he process is highly it's we Teaching it seems opportunities to learn actually do have an impact on the series after Practices surveying activities that are not just instructors lecturing and Steve's passively listening that does make a difference in learning . we'll see when Aaron present the research with all this research project is not the as I mentioned our terms . it's a Zune more general bowler discovering a boxing the conditions that lead to Learner stopper Gates . based on a promise that that so engaged and will inter the students other than that and the thousands . the CSS and gusty research that you do not technology driven . that and then by these key ASSUMPTIONS . cs . so in answer their existing Literature honors found that most of the research on these key media tools and technology focused on and gets . users that a seventy and justify the use of a specific technology school . meetings that demonstrate return on that twenty BST than they to convince Faculty to use it School . cases of research is based on trying team and I team a call Friday . way to use a specific technology . I'm these research projects are done in Structure and Kerman . where have we Scaffold it activities . can this research is generally not focused on Learner perspective is not a time nasty realistic situation that we are really know how to use the technology effectively and are giving themselves are getting just use any guidance on how to use a technology effectively . because well that that's Nancy that's not the way someone wants to do you Research in yet we know that that it eighty percent of the Faculty . major League adopters are in laggards . and despite the best intentions probably do not know how to use these more progressive technologies in ways that actually benefit their students . and we look at in these areas should actively . there is also this summer and the advantages that using these tools are all said it Disadvantages . so we actually have a great deal or game that are stand How and why manage use these tools in ways to capitalize on it that this and avoid the cost . is no surprise that these P media learning activities are unhappy but a complex social and personal aspects that collaborative learning activities kids . classes in groups of learners . the class with you know classes are diverse and they have a variety of personalities and objectives that they planning to be to the learning environment . to me the advantage Disadvantages for example . why can't our learners to assert their ideas and opinions cs . Advantages often lead Disadvantages to get some learners insurgents can intimidate others and in the Senate will be discouraging using lot . to the complexities are compounded by carrying students in now on the learning styles and these are areas that need further exploration . I'm counting Research . Summary Evans told both demonstrate the advantages and disadvantages on where that stands in to CNN said . it's a crying . down the house seems use these tools and a and that his own despite the disadvantage is very easy in some really surprising ways . Summary We think this deal questions as an opportunity to step back and server uses the PBA in courses at her variable and nasty attacks . very different levels of scaffolding for how users were expected to use key meeting its goals in their learning activities . design researchers are yellow centered promising results particularly with regard to understanding Learner motivations and so engaged in is that as and will now Explain and Martell . . I . I mean is that after the three . shares in any numbers out this loan . easy for me . that mentioned just the initial phases of study that are conducting a . actually it an immediate results . Tennessee Expert race anyhow least for the ongoing research projects which were in How Illuminate a . yes . faced with a team that usage fees for and that teach critical and he looked into his decision yet . just one goal and one context we are at peace to all people are reading across courses which again you would expect to be different because of these complexities and nuances of the site . the agency and he usage trends or patterns emerged across courses . meanwhile the differences were . on his way not only how instructors scenes he took full Editing I that ready for use to be treated deeper and get instructor and she perceptions motivations expectations . thousand and I'll make a list are really hit the top Abbas on Saturday better understand what's going on in space . and then highway there is for future research . yes . for twenty making Claims Act . Serwer not saying it's a deadlock there . the period or the labs are more affected than for its . also tentatively Implying that tired of the piece that will be different a user necessary . Saxton Wolf . you've seen some buses and assess the quality over quantity so it's this case you really decided she s differences . judge media . we're not trying to get either a standard . it's become very we can . just before the user which broke . the SMC . courses at the scene are we . yes and seizing of interest or site solution built on top Kimball and built around embedded . he tools . we Each . tool . the SMC was returning to Not car and go and serve we all know but can she do . and here in the Adobe Angeles . you have a Social Media Classroom built into the is the public and he presented to you . UC Berkeley faculty . or was there last year . he has is that yes he was the first time Instructors says he really is yes he is or how he's across courses but it's really a doctor's and US teams react to a music in the last thing . How has the SMC and he actually develop this is where the numbers don't Media City uses the session mediated Teaching message here . words many times in usage . the interactions any claims that he's friendly gotten great pitching the defense team is made . well yes . interaction . Rusty evaluations . you're . the tool and you tool . so it is definitely at the far end of the Continue . and instructor stepping piece tools . again he's resigned as he's ever time he turned and testing and things discuss discussing don't work . he's a really will you and take those risks . the last and he still seems upfront that there's a show here . why . they're talented they received the worst . one thing he's Effects with the needs to answer to that defiance . it's a breach tool to why he the bloggers . yell at me . Danny any kind testing its lead to a new Moneyline for Tuesday see that happening for five years . and tools a very actively consistently use across the tool of the Prophet students in each tool . this is the best . the yen . now another key is of interest . he is an exciting ads . words billion or . How are in a time when the lecture each of the uneasy tools to China especially many of them I say that they'll take these risks . maybe maybe you can in the first time . for many many times in Sudan is doing I mean things were . and courses are really does not address the media . anywhere is a lot teach about wanting for him . well they may be less clear to know anything tools for to teach calculus . the connection is not always as direct . did you mean Faculty . interesting it waste usage of the a course . the average means users are totally doesn't know permanently to scare and had attended the hearing . ABB dealer dots . early on that . tools . Bruno is the answer usage this new feature sure coaching them . the first clear Pre and Perkins . he's messier and red means there probably actually the communist state's racing tool site . the NAR the medial to allow elections in states that are understand that it's program . and again is actually delivered this didn't use interaction usage or where he it was not to lose . so the observed that the usage of the SMC and or purses . when Stanley instructors and students . the Korean go surveys to get expectations for stack its citation the state of Pakistan . he retires . we can use . Plays of the Final four . outlining the key ASSUMPTIONS and are just the idea of just three defeats . I mean thousand or three new substance . socially construct their understanding . and then using heavy concrete examples of what intrigues their first then help them connect . police said the other scenes perspectives interpretations increase the overall understanding . area . and the Examples . well as a students that their name and using it . and that it will it . yes . there is actually completely doing so it's intended right . the Senate to take interesting because his teachings were all there . that was once to restate the scientists knew current time . interaction thestudent about this . . Cincinnati is a good thing we learned that interaction . Unique the firm's deal with that . he's out there as well as entertains me to get interpretations of their seats . many leading receiver they did . that is next . Presenters and radiation gets there . again this is a threat and the refusing to use the various states . however users of . four . it certainly has the STEM concerning the differences . I knew my Explorer . patients also have a complexities and using these tools for use those words . and when you think that hundred of the city Literature one tool . it's . and we're courses and AIDS are always SMC very different . in the eighty four even though all schools were a little Usage was focused around . courses . created the first utility in Course credit for . use the tool making racist discuss the science . he said that to many different ways so this draft . Sharon speaking with you you teach orders which listening creation of use . I usage that we compare with Dan courses today Screenshot are seeing there for the last this scene Vinatieri's . Taylor use a very few people in . and more workers . many actually the courses and see it very well . . it is is that he never regained How am I of course is surgery is at Los use . I really learning take a few well Were said the underlying inspectors to search growth is to protect use of use . the latest eye in the sky . instructor influence to the meantime as these tools . Arena his toes here you're talking about . instructor . these are three ways that Instructors influence use that one is Directives which included instructions are monitoring the use each tool . Morris is in its iTunes there anything tool in the blog here . so interfaces occasion to say that I could do that by the actions of herself a common scene or for anti-U . the scene and class . in a friendly grading taking great individual posts or her own company Overall speech gray . fill in Howard's Course is the best of the second day trying to stay . versus observed that there are much fewer often consisted and did not seem to drastically affect the overall usage . . Campbell one reading one words one strike and create use at beginning and then she . the graded on opening day . explicitly said that it was graded upfront . but he's different . Gerecht It's day the Usage was denied Student I Directives that there was a show . Slater and grading not to race . and since you're worried about new industries . he lives this time . the defense that led to use the ministers were answered when rest of the assignments but they only just heard sharing it tools . in the end one of the courses that actually require the use of the law and social bookmarking that maybe they've ever since many play a part of GM isn't over . and while the law Continue Cha Decision of use . so again he's eleven . there was some kids have made enough lg to tie the variety Systems up seats . these are men understand our managers and other the influence use but . England has no new console . yet there . so the Influences were already one of which was Course action he's said these are things about the course itself but said it selected or why . the content of the worst of it chapter by . they can use these kind of very course the lead themselves smartest you discussions that . there's . it seems that the focus on changing the that really comes together group . million to NT use the Wiki are worse . he will give you the level are now pressuring him . in one scene . Britain's commenting that he was not because the reading and courses at the end to its . they say . the S and can lead to scores . during several help seventy . let me needs to stay in one year tours because there is no letup of the in the last . he says . people were using this . you'd say that in the first anyway . the students at the last connection to . because in the last in the class . he was the deputy to the course itself that are and when things didn't use the tool . the market play . one of the numbers Teaching said because interact with the man or another question about whether used students at a meeting Friday because no one was using it for a week . be it . the early was raised the bar three as general and the terrorists doing and doing it this way . million dollars in Germany or the it was a major energy use . there's ever many actually that it Instructors the interesting reading . one is in very serious . it really started a Barclays daily . the leaks . he added the league's bottom is and then wanted to see people ask for it to be . I knew that she is a twenty in the number and recorded a search used for . including the recorded messages interesting million here Preference to the tools and some scenes were more familiar have a particular tool sentenced Wednesday saying I want to say . King things around . I have level of for the detainees and whether it's a or your reasoning class . I mean you know there's a link but not slated to enter a team that has really come into play going on here . and his previously discussed that are not intending and not done to try to simplify minimizing the role the way to accurately measure . you never get in shape . s . and you know the during the essential the complexity that is tool and instructors and students . happy together . so one interesting observation that the murders with Advantages teams took over the tool use up your way . many teams commenting on use becoming or something that they did that in itself . now who are there many . he said he had the surgery not clear about how you that you think we used to the women want you . where did she know it the day . in other words reading a statement . today Advantages is worrying instructors . the Course murky here interactive budget process which we can improve things . and then every day later things that they . them and he is a question Class A share . I would say . lent is a . you are great . and then the more limited go in and read the posts and try to manage these ads . you didn't have lately been no grading people are meeting with veteran of the original thousand twelve . and yet in word and you measure all is interaction about a threatening situation to be seen just answer that . the other one is they . to me to play with the were made here today . Bill you were seeing softer they are sent Reader to money and this is a really important observation . especially for the better . the plant . the news really readily available tool Research days their nations' cetera to really take control and he doing there . the survey where . yes . . he still has to imagine activities and must be existing measures that will . about . that's a huge get out . wind and then that means you're still with you . it's that Introduction are already . How many tools at the country's WHY region but can these events you've been so . this charter flight here in gray and . the entity to be a reading of the month to be there . he hit every time I fly every exhibit which are about . I heard into the net is there any Error Bridge . so when the bottom and you can . Claims he that he came . the content so that they had that usage is rightfully the game . this tool they're converging . tool . he's . it is not about acting . because there's not a capacity to come . next to the eleventh be taking many using the tools but he decisions based on race . other scenes that . he added . yet another exciting . it will cease . the trial attorney . twenty yesterday . as I mentioned he did typically it's a very tall . it stands at him . first we actually saw the eleventh when some of the professors there are viewed in the interview . they're using these tools that . schools in a record eighty of them and eating chad . and so I think probably . we're disappointed that for use in such a quick break . without really having necessarily a goal hundred percent . the GTO it in there and get . so although obviously he is important is that learning that maybe the lecture the first that is really important and valuable than the of finding technology after the fact that he deserved their mobile tool that can be used to cheat . each player to be . and the ladies maybe you measure it to you . ninety Integrated to use existing research isn't there . it will be objective . and that again this is more of that instructor have the evidence presented then the other certainly been talking about with you the reality is that instructors are really so the key play him and he's there so that barrier . and it's very they have to develop students to intentionally hauling them come out people understand that goals and then apply the technologies have made him more Easier and more approachable and they get more seats access to the tools . finally we as influencers . C . and many things about the state in the NHL . these are good . so nobody has many CG tool in the wildly piece of their last era me if I had been backing these tools are they still are additional workers students and many recorded . it's challenging especially in situations where there is are a piece of the tools palette they were just in time . these judges which are terrorism the Pentagon school production of the show and technical challenges . we ten years you get to see you have in its relevance and social or so . it's many houses and interview again . it is nothing to the standoff means the The students here . I'm really show that she did very different chapter . it is . the one I'm really talking about observing how the tools are use to really using the appropriate mark he even more sensible and earnings cycle . Yemen is literally the window literally stop at either twenty access because there they can remember use their learning instructors and a lot of simply says that . the hearings that regard . it seems you are value of tools . over the course . to . . . K . this Research still has only get our hands . these are the remaining divisions that lend to share these youths and some Structure scenes of great things during that same . so this person point Learner said the Learner centered codes is important is most visited just for many . this is really apply understatement . we know that the reluctance to change the Teaching methodology is thousand and ten students and very lonely and accountable and being passive learners this equipment in the past . there is no challenge get some expects them to take ownership of their own learning . unfortunately we are expected Plans gate to change very quickly . because he's learning environments are complex social systems we think there is opportunity for change and perhaps that Cheney for change can be best time to the best approach from thestudent perspective and not necessarily from Faculty perspective . can Center in the availability of key media tools can help students think about how the engaging with their learning materials engaging with each other . then we can do this is an area we're exploring . because some learners under some circumstances in its Research Center has needed direct their own learning activities . we see this is in their crossing creating an area for further research . we had some Preliminary Recommendations again . Gary luminaries last time we don't want you to walk away his visitation feeling WHY you seen that variety at Massey contradictory results and that's transfer read you what did he do about it . even though the research needs to go further . we think that they time understandings . our academic institutions and Learning Systems . the preliminary results from research we can make send useful recommendations . so one thing that is actually fairly easy that we as technology providers can do is to provide access to these tools settle all the NASA's caps on these tools he has assembled discussion forum . and our recommendation is that these tools be turned on by default in courses where in Faculty are using them or not . they may say oh my Leader I hate that because it wants teens participating in an environment that they're not moderate . there are ways of socializing this . he and . one rated team that is seized framework for an setting expectations . and so . even the use of PBS will is not likely to be scaffolded in the course it is because not remain instructors are adopting the technologies they can be scaffolded in context outside of courses where its teams are staying in various kinds that learning activities mean I actually Course related activities . so resembling orientations . give me examples of how institutions to set up on line orientation sessions that included various types of PDA House seems work together in small groups to get engage one another . this is a great opportunity to use Scaffold . How are these types of activities can be firm . structured in ardor for Stevenson given us that bit of it . and Research is not only are to learn how use the technologies that more importantly to learn the rules of engagement in many cases to learn to be leaders in this case is as you stopper Aaron Slide tell five . I'm and there are just a handful of teams in a particular class that become the leaders and and they can be Alliance that actually live do the decent level for everyone else class . there's news for the current study just out time social contacts . and this can actually be built into orientations in terms of helping students to find the rules in engagement and how communities of learning should Wired . SEN . honored visit visit I kept going to be tried in orientation secured the provide intro courses play QB Kyle Allen versus content layout some of the research indicated that its teams here have successfully used p media tools entire courses have their cancer DT use these tools . in other courses sound . the technologies are always on you in on all courses . and then Stevens had some examples of how to tease that we think that this didn't open until our time former in for Larry Gates man in courses where the instructors are not actually getting in each ear activists in terms of how to use that schools . the other things that can be useful is to the various ways of building community and learning cohorts up and again this is part of what happened in orientation . Research as an esteemed SI state with their degrees in finance then eventually succeed . tease though because of other people within the institution . not and those are sometimes causes are sometimes teachers . learners to someone who comes here and says and argue that assignments she pens the styling and they're like oh yes have to get assignment . we did the research and I'll Research poll by the research assignment learning cohorts in very important . so . that those communities need to be billed clients and basic premises in terms of providing the teams with Stacy insecure environments are thinking and a and experimentation in their exploration of materials and for that very against the simple technology things that we can do . but require identity . Pujols had an option for posting on its to the turnout and I said people to speak honestly and frankly as themselves in these environments . and that leads to a generally . How is that generally leads to you . in fact it . self policing in these environments and to send a responsibility . and the other simple thing to do is he not turned up access to these team the entire into Banda works . John not in others . Explain how this practice which is unfortunately common is lying if you are working and building a base that community than three months Emmanuel one day and everything and I community . I was on . on what kind Chalk without the House an old WHY AN tablets you try again to build that kind of community . that's what happened so and we have these elements is where all of courses to have to be available to lead the for the class starts in the Navy and the oval week after that together . students need Learning In Class creation opportunities . they're not time not style Semester . in fact . and we're we're exploring and very optimistic about Additional opportunities for students to have learning cohorts and sister learning context outside courses time these technologies are already available for many of learning management systems or a on NASA's can be used to facilitate this even if not explicitly a feature of the on the US said that time various kinds of groups can have their and collaboration . activities . that will stand courses can even kill the on specific topics they're standing in the courses . CMS for a can of other ideas submitted you simple things that we is technology providers can do to help create an environment that is can t sit to use time counting . and I'm going context for Learner Self engagement . cs . here's to to outlying areas for further research to employees and UC Berkeley's Center for Next Generation Teaching and Learning In some through blackboardinstitute in collaboration . we need your help . said you know I poignancy existing research . it's related these topics . you can help by contributing research in these areas . and you can tell you that your research your car that's so as we see on the table we needed some ballparks and have information about the survey . this is just one tool though are using . it seemed like team content and qualitative information directly from students based on their Usage Pini in schools regardless of I regard sn technology . because we need to expand the survey results come further team to try range students and time seems variety of different institutions and said only in currency a two to tell us just to be these adaptations to see him sound later colleagues now ask them to history as you know it's hard to get research directly from students . there are certainly opportunities upper classes that are starting in all he'd like to work with us and we came to create those are nails in those courses . and and just generally E . and to the results that are the air . variety at addition all . work alone show different types of classes in earnings . Center thank you very much for years tension and he's already cooperating with you . . . .
