Research Based Best Practices in Developmental Education | | Blackboard blogs

Research Based Best Practices in Developmental Education | | Blackboard blogs | Aprendiendo a Distancia | Scoop.it
How can E-Learning and Distance Education help move students through Developmental Education courses and onto success? Research shows that, well, very little is known in this area.  Researchers have however identified emerging evidence for the following interventions:
1. Interventions aimed at helping students avoid developmental education by shoring up their skills before they enroll in college
2. Interventions designed to accelerate students’ progress through developmental education by shortening the timing or content of their developmental education courses
3. Programs that provide contextualized basic skills together with occupational or college-content coursework
4. Programs that enhance the supports for developmental-level learners, such as advising or tutoring
There are some really amazing ways that E-Learning and Distance Education can be incorporated into all of the above interventions. I’m on a mission to find the educators and researchers who are working on this, or lead the charge of those who are interested.  Who is with me?

3. Provide behind-the-scenes support via email
Email is a good way to respond to individual problems or to motivate people to participate without embarrassing them. You will want to be in regular email contact with your participants, either by group or individual communication. If participants send you interesting content-related comments via email, encourage them to post these thoughts to the discussion forum as well. If you receive a number of questions by email, you may want to consider posting a special discussion forum for questions or suggestions. This way everyone can benefit from answers to questions of general interest.

I tend to see templates less as rules for course structure and more as guiding principles. When you first start building courses they help with developing a consistent design and course structure. A good template can fill in the gaps for the novice elearning developer.

Here are ten great tips for producing elaborate documents using Microsoft Word. High-end desktop publishing programs, such as Adobe InDesign and QuarkXPress, feature lots of tools to help designers produce stunning pages. But these programs are expensive, and novices require training to use them, factors that render their acquisition difficult to justify for most small businesses.

The Future of Undergraduate Teaching - WorldWise - The Chronicle of Higher Education

The Future of Undergraduate Teaching - WorldWise - The Chronicle of Higher Education | Aprendiendo a Distancia | Scoop.it
Many a university president has felt a frisson on reading the news that various consortia are intent on forging an online teaching presence that will reach out in what might seem to some like a quasi-imperial way (not just MIT and Stanford but also Embanet/Compass, 2tor, Coursera and the Minerva Project). No one I know thinks that these online consortia will have immediate effects in the manner of the raft of books that are direct descendants from the dot.com days, with all their corporate techno-hype (see the recent piece by Hiltzik on this agenda). But no one I know thinks that things will just stay the same either.

You’re in if you tweet. You’re out if you don’t | Aprendiendo a Distancia | Scoop.it

El aprendizaje tiene lugar con una amplitud global e imparable cuando las personas que siguen un evento "retransmiten" en Twitter.

 

Se está produciendo un "peer-aprendizaje" o "aprendizaje entre iguales" es el aprendizaje social que muchos ya hemos incorporado en nuestros hábitos.

 

Los departamentos de formación de las empresas ¿están al tanto de esté fenómeno? ¿le están sacando provecho a algo tan significativo?

 

Muy interesante!

Roadmap - MoodleDocs

Since Moodle 2.0 we have switched to time-based releases rather than feature-based releases, as part of our new development process. Because of this, the details below are an indication of current priorities only, and are subject to change according to how long things take to develop. If something can not be finished for a release then it will generally just be pushed to the next major release.
The items in the roadmap are part of a long-term development vision for Moodle, which is heavily influenced by requests from our user community.
