The Discussion Board is a vital part of communication in online learning. If all participants agree to follow a few principles of civility and professionalism, the discussion board can be a great opportunity to express opinions, share ideas, and receive feedback from peers who are engaged in the same learning objectives.

I suspect that the main reason many teachers don’t transfer their knowledge and actively seek answers to their questions about tech is that they simply aren’t very interested in learning it. The key to David Warlick’s statement is that people can leverage the internet to learn anything they want to learn. But let’s put that aside for now and assume for the sake of argument that teachers need to learn how to use tech whether they want to or not. Why do they often profess helplessness and state that they can’t learn it without PD? Via Nik Peachey, Jenny Pesina Delete the scoop?

Professors aren't always trained teachers. This becomes painfully obvious when untrained professors go online. ~ Dennis Philadelphia—Professors can choose from a growing palette of Web-based tools to make their online courses more interactive. But a new study suggests that many community-college instructors aren’t taking advantage of those options. Instead, the professors are relying on static course materials that aren’t likely to motivate students or encourage them to interact with each other. Delete the scoop?

Good advice is where you find it! This short checklist article, written by Brian C. Steinberg has good advice. I had to add my own take to his solid list of ideas! 1. Introduce yourself (My advice: if you start a class that doesn't provide a social icebreaker, drop it. You need to know the people you're learning with. Community is key online.) 2. Read Read and Read Everything! (My advice: Reading everything at the start of a course makes sense. You need to get oriented. After that, don't treat hypertext reading like textbook reading. Learn to skim and strategically bookmark and annotate important reading. If you try to read it all, you'll go down the rabbit hole and never come out.) 3. Downloading and Printing Course Materials. (My advice: I love a paperless work flow. However new online students can gain a true sense of order from printing and arranging course materials. I did this for most of my first online learning experiences and recommend that my novice online students create a notebook.) 4. Online Study Buddies. (My Advice: Kudos to the author of this article. I've never thought of this as an explicit tip for online learners, even though I know it helps to have a friend taking the class. Consciously building network relationships in an online class is a natural outgrowth of community centered online learning. ) 5. Start your work ASAP! (My advice: I open my classes a week early for a non-academic preview. This helps folks hit the ground running. It's deadly to fall behind in an online class.) These five tips will help any online student have a better learning experience. It's also a good reminder for online instructors to put in the extra time needed to plan a great start up week for their students. ~ Dennis Delete the scoop?

Anyone who works online has developed an attitude or approach to 'multi-tasking'. But what if you can really only deal with one thing at a time?
Would this realization change the way you work? This short, well written article, complete with a video and link to deeper research may rock your thoughts on how good you are at multi-tasking. (It certainly helped me realize why I sometimes need to set a kitchen timer to 30 minutes and just focus on one task if I want to get anything done!) ~ Dennis

I know it’s popular to think that you are multi-tasking, but the research is clear that people actually can’t multi-task, with one specific exception. Delete the scoop?
