It’s just that she knew she’d be teaching in a room with no students. Such is life when you’re taping lessons for a new online course.

| + | <a href="http://www.masonposner.com/home.htm" title="">Mason Posner</a> is a professor of Biology at Ashland University in Ohio. He also blogs on <a href="http://masonposner.com/afisheyeview/" title="">A Fish Eye View</a> (though I notice he did not update it in a while). About a year ago, and inspired by some discussions emanating from ScienceOnline'09, he <a href="http://masonposner.com/afisheyeview/2009/01/blogging-in-the-college-classroom/" title="">decided to try using blogs</a> in his teaching. He did it last spring. And he is doing it again this spring.</p> | ||
| + | |||
| + | <p>You can check out his Marine Biology Course <a href="http://ashlandmarinebio.blogspot.com/" title="">class blog</a>, where he and the students are all posting in one place.</p> | ||
| + | |||
| + | <p>But also check out his Senior Capstone course in Biology and its <a href="http://sciencebloggingatau.blogspot.com/" title="">class blog</a> - he is the only one blogging there - the students are required to start and run their own blogs.</p> | ||
| + | |||
| + | <p>Now look at the Class Blogroll on the margin - take a look at last year's (2009) student blogs - wonderful writing on all of them, good stuff. But! One of them is already <a href="http://leadingcauseofdeath.blogspot.com/" title="">deleted</a>. There are <a href="http://stupidnuclearplant.blogspot.com/" title="">four</a> other <a href="http://collectivepropylon.blogspot.com/" title="">blogs</a> that <a href="http://sciencehaggis.blogspot.com/" title="">stopped</a> posting <a href="http://adorablepancreasatau.blogspot.com/" title="">around</a> early May of last year, probably at the time the course ended. Only <a href="http://plague-erism.blogspot.com/" title="">one of the blogs</a> is still running today. Why did they stop?</p> | ||
| + | |||
| + | <p>Now check out this year's blogs - very, very nice stuff: <a href="http://scienceignorance.blogspot.com/" title="">The Difference between Ignorance and Apathy</a>, <a href="http://thesexyscience.blogspot.com/" title="">SexyScience</a>, <a href="http://fourthirstypandas.blogspot.com/" title="">Thirsty Pandas</a> and <a href="http://successorsofsolomon.blogspot.com/" title="">Successors of Solomon</a>. Lovely blogs. But will they last past May?</p> | ||
| + | |||
| + | <p>Now, you may remember a similar experiment at Duke - see <a href="http://scienceblogs.com/clock/2007/07/science_blogging_at_duke.php" title="">this</a> and <a href="http://scienceblogs.com/clock/2008/01/student_blogging.php" title="">this</a> and especially <a href="http://scienceblogs.com/clock/2009/07/scienceonline09_-_interview_wi_2.php" title="">experiences of Erica Tsai</a> who ran the program. Why did all the Duke student blogs end once the class was over?</p> | ||
| + | |||
| + | <p>There is always a lot of chatter online (see the most recent commentary about a Pew study <a href="http://thecustomercollective.com/TCC/50320" title="">here</a>, <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE6135OH20100204" title="">here</a>, <a href="http://www.thesocialpath.com/2010/02/why-teens-arent-blogging.html" title="">here</a> and <a href="http://trueslant.com/jmaureenhenderson/2010/02/09/teens-tongue-tied-or-just-too-cool-for-twitter-blogging/" title="">here</a>) about teens and college students not blogging. No, the kids are <a href="http://scienceblogs.com/christinaslisrant/2010/02/technologically_conservative_y.php" title="">not naturally Web-savvy</a> - they also need to learn.</p> | ||
| + | |||
| + | <p>They use <a href="http://twitter.com/" title="">Twitter</a> much <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/chart-of-the-day-the-youngsters-flocked-to-twitter-in-2009-2010-2" title="">more than the stats usually show</a>, <a href="http://www.zephoria.org/thoughts/archives/2009/08/06/teens_dont_twee.html" title="">but mostly keep their profiles private</a> and only talk to each other. They use it instead of texting because it is cheaper and platform-agnostic. Of course, they are all on <a href="http://www.facebook.com/home.php?" title="">Facebook</a> (or <a href="http://myspace.com/" title="">MySpace</a>, <a href="http://www.danah.org/papers/essays/ClassDivisions.html" title="">depending on socio-economic status</a>), where they also interact with each other. The artistically inclined may connect with each other on <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/" title="">DeviantArt</a>. And yes, there are many who blog (though they may have predominantly chosen a more social blogging platform like <a href="http://www.livejournal.com/" title="">LiveJournal</a>).</p> | ||
| + | |||
| + | <p>All of the above are social uses, which is quite age-appropriate. Some of them (certainly not all) will, just like their elders, pick up blogging later, when they find a need to express themselves in long-form writing. Teaching them how to blog is part of their education, or at least should be.</p> | ||
| + | |||
| + | <p>But none of this really applies to the cases I started this post with - these are young people who have been taught how to blog, have done it well, probably got positive feedback for it from the instructor and peers, and obviously have something to say. So, why do they quit?</p> | ||
| + | |||
| + | <p>Is it because they see it as homework? Something that needs to be done for class, and can be stopped once the final grades are in?</p> | ||
| + | |||
| + | <p>Or is it because all the feedback they get comes only from the instructor and classmates? The class is a small community which formally and automatically dissolves the moment the semester is over. If the community is gone, who are you writing for?</p> | ||
| + | |||
| + | <p>Would they continue blogging if they felt they were a part of a larger community and, more importantly, a continuous community, one that has no expiration date? If we all sent them traffic by linking to their posts from our blogs, Twitter, FriendFeed, Facebook etc., would they see that kind of feedback as a motivation to keep writing? If we posted comments on their blogs, would they feel like members of a broader community and would gladly continue engaging with it?</p> | ||
| + | |||
| + | <p>The same goes for even younger bloggers. Duke summer program had high schoolers blogging as well. How about <a href="http://missbakersbiologyclass.com/blog/" title="">Miss Baker's students</a>? Would comments on their posts be felt as intrusive or would they be seen as welcoming to a broader community and motivating to keep writing? </p> | ||
| + | |||
| + | <p>Are one-off events, e.g., attendance at <a href="http://www.scienceonline2010.com/index.php/wiki/" title="">ScienceOnline</a> conferences, sufficient to give students enough momentum to continue long-term?</p> | ||
| + | |||

Only <a href="http://plague-erism.blogspot.com/" title="">one of the blogs</a> is still running today. Why did they stop?</p> | ||
| + | |||
| + | <p>Now check out this year's blogs - very, very nice stuff: <a href="http://scienceignorance.blogspot.com/" title="">The Difference between Ignorance and Apathy</a>, <a href="http://thesexyscience.blogspot.com/" title="">SexyScience</a>, <a href="http://fourthirstypandas.blogspot.com/" title="">Thirsty Pandas</a> and <a href="http://successorsofsolomon.blogspot.com/" title="">Successors of Solomon</a>. Lovely blogs. But will they last past May?</p> | ||
| + | |||
| + | <p>Now, you may remember a similar experiment at Duke - see <a href="http://scienceblogs.com/clock/2007/07/science_blogging_at_duke.php" title="">this</a> and <a href="http://scienceblogs.com/clock/2008/01/student_blogging.php" title="">this</a> and especially <a href="http://scienceblogs.com/clock/2009/07/scienceonline09_-_interview_wi_2.php" title="">experiences of Erica Tsai</a> who ran the program. Why did all the Duke student blogs end once the class was over?</p> | ||
| + | |||
| + | <p>There is always a lot of chatter online (see the most recent commentary about a Pew study <a href="http://thecustomercollective.com/TCC/50320" title="">here</a>, <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE6135OH20100204" title="">here</a>, <a href="http://www.thesocialpath.com/2010/02/why-teens-arent-blogging.html" title="">here</a> and <a href="http://trueslant.com/jmaureenhenderson/2010/02/09/teens-tongue-tied-or-just-too-cool-for-twitter-blogging/" title="">here</a>) about teens and college students not blogging. No, the kids are <a href="http://scienceblogs.com/christinaslisrant/2010/02/technologically_conservative_y.php" title="">not naturally Web-savvy</a> - they also need to learn.</p> | ||
| + | |||
| + | <p>They use <a href="http://twitter.com/" title="">Twitter</a> much <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/chart-of-the-day-the-youngsters-flocked-to-twitter-in-2009-2010-2" title="">more than the stats usually show</a>, <a href="http://www.zephoria.org/thoughts/archives/2009/08/06/teens_dont_twee.html" title="">but mostly keep their profiles private</a> and only talk to each other. They use it instead of texting because it is cheaper and platform-agnostic. Of course, they are all on <a href="http://www.facebook.com/home.php?" title="">Facebook</a> (or <a href="http://myspace.com/" title="">MySpace</a>, <a href="http://www.danah.org/papers/essays/ClassDivisions.html" title="">depending on socio-economic status</a>), where they also interact with each other. The artistically inclined may connect with each other on <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/" title="">DeviantArt</a>. And yes, there are many who blog (though they may have predominantly chosen a more social blogging platform like <a href="http://www.livejournal.com/" title="">LiveJournal</a>).</p> | ||
| + | |||
| + | <p>All of the above are social uses, which is quite age-appropriate. Some of them (certainly not all) will, just like their elders, pick up blogging later, when they find a need to express themselves in long-form writing. Teaching them how to blog is part of their education, or at least should be.</p> | ||
| + | |||
| + | <p>But none of this really applies to the cases I started this post with - these are young people who have been taught how to blog, have done it well, probably got positive feedback for it from the instructor and peers, and obviously have something to say. So, why do they quit?</p> | ||
| + | |||
| + | <p>Is it because they see it as homework? Something that needs to be done for class, and can be stopped once the final grades are in?</p> | ||
| + | |||
| + | <p>Or is it because all the feedback they get comes only from the instructor and classmates? The class is a small community which formally and automatically dissolves the moment the semester is over. If the community is gone, who are you writing for?</p> | ||
| + | |||
| + | <p>Would they continue blogging if they felt they were a part of a larger community and, more importantly, a continuous community, one that has no expiration date? If we all sent them traffic by linking to their posts from our blogs, Twitter, FriendFeed, Facebook etc., would they see that kind of feedback as a motivation to keep writing? If we posted comments on their blogs, would they feel like members of a broader community and would gladly continue engaging with it?</p> | ||
| + | |||
| + | <p>The same goes for even younger bloggers. Duke summer program had high schoolers blogging as well. How about <a href="http://missbakersbiologyclass.com/blog/" title="">Miss Baker's students</a>? Would comments on their posts be felt as intrusive or would they be seen as welcoming to a broader community and motivating to keep writing? </p> | ||
| + | |||
| + | <p>Are one-off events, e.g., attendance at <a href="http://www.scienceonline2010.com/index.php/wiki/" title="">ScienceOnline</a> conferences, sufficient to give students enough momentum to continue long-term?</p> | ||
| + | |||

Our approach is explicitly participatory: we work with young women to better understand how they view and approach CIS and to build activities that may attract women who would otherwise be disinclined toward computing. In this paper we focus primarily on what we have learned through focus groups with women at different developmental levels with respect to CIS, and the tools we have been building to engage them in community-building activities.<div><img width="1" height="1" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3058503-8675445510092006306?l=people.uis.edu%2Frschr1%2Fonlinelearning%2Fblogger.html" alt=""></div></div> | ||

| + | Education in the twenty-first century is underpinned by theories of inclusion and practices of open and distance learning (Aldrich, 2003; Richards, 2004). New concerns are replacing the traditional views on the impossibility of integrating pedagogy and technology (Barab et al, 2004; Roblyer et al, 2000). Supporting learning in the digital age looks at devising innovative methods to utilize ICT in education for maximalist inclusion of learners accompanied by a reformed pedagogy that frames quality in the learning activity by raising the interest and involvement of the student in dialogic learner centred approaches. (Salmon, 2002; Sandholtz et al, 2002). Reformed pedagogy need to promote engaging learners in interesting and authentic contexts framed in project-based ICT supported modules integrating pretexts for learning across the curriculum. Web forums and conferencing as well as internet resources and e-mails are utilized to support integrated applied learning and exploration in realizing active learning in the digital age.<div><img width="1" height="1" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3058503-8192000442141156273?l=people.uis.edu%2Frschr1%2Fonlinelearning%2Fblogger.html" alt=""></div></div> | ||

Though they arrived by different means, everyone in attendance had one thing in common: they did not really exist. Neither did the lecture hall in which they were seated, nor the lectern from which someone spoke. The real-life education center of the Air Force at Air University sponsored the event in conjunction with professors from Vanderbilt University, located in real-life Nashville. They, along with anyone who wished to attend, arrived virtually via a computer program called Second Life. The program, a computer simulation game, uses the Internet to allow people from all corners of the globe to "meet" in a 3-D "world" that looks, in many ways, like Earth.<div><img width="1" height="1" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3058503-4137051739584317372?l=people.uis.edu%2Frschr1%2Fonlinelearning%2Fblogger.html" alt=""></div></div> | ||

| + | Education in the twenty-first century is underpinned by theories of inclusion and practices of open and distance learning (Aldrich, 2003; Richards, 2004). New concerns are replacing the traditional views on the impossibility of integrating pedagogy and technology (Barab et al, 2004; Roblyer et al, 2000). Supporting learning in the digital age looks at devising innovative methods to utilize ICT in education for maximalist inclusion of learners accompanied by a reformed pedagogy that frames quality in the learning activity by raising the interest and involvement of the student in dialogic learner centred approaches. (Salmon, 2002; Sandholtz et al, 2002). Reformed pedagogy need to promote engaging learners in interesting and authentic contexts framed in project-based ICT supported modules integrating pretexts for learning across the curriculum. Web forums and conferencing as well as internet resources and e-mails are utilized to support integrated applied learning and exploration in realizing active learning in the digital age.<div><img width="1" height="1" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3058503-8192000442141156273?l=people.uis.edu%2Frschr1%2Fonlinelearning%2Fblogger.html" alt=""></div></div> | ||

| + | Latino adults are increasing their use of the Internet faster than other ethnic groups, according to a new survey from the Pew Hispanic Center and the Pew Internet and American Life Project. Between 2006 and 2008, the percentage of adult Latinos in the U.S. who used the Internet grew to 64 percent from 54 percent, according to the survey. Among whites, Internet use increased to 76 percent from 72 percent.

New concerns are replacing the traditional views on the impossibility of integrating pedagogy and technology (Barab et al, 2004; Roblyer et al, 2000). Supporting learning in the digital age looks at devising innovative methods to utilize ICT in education for maximalist inclusion of learners accompanied by a reformed pedagogy that frames quality in the learning activity by raising the interest and involvement of the student in dialogic learner centred approaches. (Salmon, 2002; Sandholtz et al, 2002). Reformed pedagogy need to promote engaging learners in interesting and authentic contexts framed in project-based ICT supported modules integrating pretexts for learning across the curriculum.

As always, the Hechinger Institute folks have brought together an impressive array of panelists. Our first session focused on moves away from the traditional college delivery method – which is “ed-speak” for the way classes are taught. Robert Mendenhall is president of Western Governors University, an online college that a Nov. 17, 2008 Time magazine article called “The best relatively cheap university you’ve never heard of.”<div><img width="1" height="1" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3058503-591279974722947115?l=people.uis.edu%2Frschr1%2Fonlinelearning%2Fblogger.html" alt=""></div></div> | ||

| + | Some people teleported, others flew and some just walked into the holographic auditorium for the Global Learning Forum event here Nov. 19. Though they arrived by different means, everyone in attendance had one thing in common: they did not really exist. Neither did the lecture hall in which they were seated, nor the lectern from which someone spoke. The real-life education center of the Air Force at Air University sponsored the event in conjunction with professors from Vanderbilt University, located in real-life Nashville. They, along with anyone who wished to attend, arrived virtually via a computer program called Second Life. The program, a computer simulation game, uses the Internet to allow people from all corners of the globe to "meet" in a 3-D "world" that looks, in many ways, like Earth.<div><img width="1" height="1" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3058503-4137051739584317372?l=people.uis.edu%2Frschr1%2Fonlinelearning%2Fblogger.html" alt=""></div></div> | ||

| + | We describe our work on seeding and building a developmental learning community for recruiting and retainingwomen in educational programs and careers related to computing and information science (CIS). Our approach is explicitly participatory: we work with young women to better understand how they view and approach CIS and to build activities that may attract women who would otherwise be disinclined toward computing. In this paper we focus primarily on what we have learned through focus groups with women at different developmental levels with respect to CIS, and the tools we have been building to engage them in community-building activities.<div><img width="1" height="1" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3058503-8675445510092006306?l=people.uis.edu%2Frschr1%2Fonlinelearning%2Fblogger.html" alt=""></div></div> | ||

<a href="http://www.masonposner.com/home.htm" title="">Mason Posner</a> is a professor of Biology at Ashland University in Ohio. He also blogs on <a href="http://masonposner.com/afisheyeview/" title="">A Fish Eye View</a> (though I notice he did not update it in a while). About a year ago, and inspired by some discussions emanating from ScienceOnline'09, he <a href="http://masonposner.com/afisheyeview/2009/01/blogging-in-the-college-classroom/" title="">decided to try using blogs</a> in his teaching. He did it last spring. And he is doing it again this spring.
You can check out his Marine Biology Course <a href="http://ashlandmarinebio.blogspot.com/" title="">class blog</a>, where he and the students are all posting in one place.
But also check out his Senior Capstone course in Biology and its <a href="http://sciencebloggingatau.blogspot.com/" title="">class blog</a> - he is the only one blogging there - the students are required to start and run their own blogs.
Now look at the Class Blogroll on the margin - take a look at last year's (2009) student blogs - wonderful writing on all of them, good stuff. But! One of them is already <a href="http://leadingcauseofdeath.blogspot.com/" title="">deleted</a>. There are <a href="http://stupidnuclearplant.blogspot.com/" title="">four</a> other <a href="http://collectivepropylon.blogspot.com/" title="">blogs</a> that <a href="http://sciencehaggis.blogspot.com/" title="">stopped</a> posting <a href="http://adorablepancreasatau.blogspot.com/" title="">around</a> early May of last year, probably at the time the course ended. Only <a href="http://plague-erism.blogspot.com/" title="">one of the blogs</a> is still running today. Why did they stop?
Now check out this year's blogs - very, very nice stuff: <a href="http://scienceignorance.blogspot.com/" title="">The Difference between Ignorance and Apathy</a>, <a href="http://thesexyscience.blogspot.com/" title="">SexyScience</a>, <a href="http://fourthirstypandas.blogspot.com/" title="">Thirsty Pandas</a> and <a href="http://successorsofsolomon.blogspot.com/" title="">Successors of Solomon</a>. Lovely blogs. But will they last past May?
Now, you may remember a similar experiment at Duke - see <a href="http://scienceblogs.com/clock/2007/07/science_blogging_at_duke.php" title="">this</a> and <a href="http://scienceblogs.com/clock/2008/01/student_blogging.php" title="">this</a> and especially <a href="http://scienceblogs.com/clock/2009/07/scienceonline09_-_interview_wi_2.php" title="">experiences of Erica Tsai</a> who ran the program. Why did all the Duke student blogs end once the class was over?
There is always a lot of chatter online (see the most recent commentary about a Pew study <a href="http://thecustomercollective.com/TCC/50320" title="">here</a>, <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE6135OH20100204" title="">here</a>, <a href="http://www.thesocialpath.com/2010/02/why-teens-arent-blogging.html" title="">here</a> and <a href="http://trueslant.com/jmaureenhenderson/2010/02/09/teens-tongue-tied-or-just-too-cool-for-twitter-blogging/" title="">here</a>) about teens and college students not blogging. No, the kids are <a href="http://scienceblogs.com/christinaslisrant/2010/02/technologically_conservative_y.php" title="">not naturally Web-savvy</a> - they also need to learn.
They use <a href="http://twitter.com/" title="">Twitter</a> much <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/chart-of-the-day-the-youngsters-flocked-to-twitter-in-2009-2010-2" title="">more than the stats usually show</a>, <a href="http://www.zephoria.org/thoughts/archives/2009/08/06/teens_dont_twee.html" title="">but mostly keep their profiles private</a> and only talk to each other. They use it instead of texting because it is cheaper and platform-agnostic. Of course, they are all on <a href="http://www.facebook.com/home.php?" title="">Facebook</a> (or <a href="http://myspace.com/" title="">MySpace</a>, <a href="http://www.danah.org/papers/essays/ClassDivisions.html" title="">depending on socio-economic status</a>), where they also interact with each other. The artistically inclined may connect with each other on <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/" title="">DeviantArt</a>. And yes, there are many who blog (though they may have predominantly chosen a more social blogging platform like <a href="http://www.livejournal.com/" title="">LiveJournal</a>).
All of the above are social uses, which is quite age-appropriate. Some of them (certainly not all) will, just like their elders, pick up blogging later, when they find a need to express themselves in long-form writing. Teaching them how to blog is part of their education, or at least should be.
But none of this really applies to the cases I started this post with - these are young people who have been taught how to blog, have done it well, probably got positive feedback for it from the instructor and peers, and obviously have something to say. So, why do they quit?
Is it because they see it as homework? Something that needs to be done for class, and can be stopped once the final grades are in?
Or is it because all the feedback they get comes only from the instructor and classmates? The class is a small community which formally and automatically dissolves the moment the semester is over. If the community is gone, who are you writing for?
Would they continue blogging if they felt they were a part of a larger community and, more importantly, a continuous community, one that has no expiration date? If we all sent them traffic by linking to their posts from our blogs, Twitter, FriendFeed, Facebook etc., would they see that kind of feedback as a motivation to keep writing? If we posted comments on their blogs, would they feel like members of a broader community and would gladly continue engaging with it?
The same goes for even younger bloggers. Duke summer program had high schoolers blogging as well. How about <a href="http://missbakersbiologyclass.com/blog/" title="">Miss Baker's students</a>? Would comments on their posts be felt as intrusive or would they be seen as welcoming to a broader community and motivating to keep writing?
Are one-off events, e.g., attendance at <a href="http://www.scienceonline2010.com/index.php/wiki/" title="">ScienceOnline</a> conferences, sufficient to give students enough momentum to continue long-term?
Thoughts?

Only <a href="http://plague-erism.blogspot.com/" title="">one of the blogs</a> is still running today. Why did they stop?
Now check out this year's blogs - very, very nice stuff: <a href="http://scienceignorance.blogspot.com/" title="">The Difference between Ignorance and Apathy</a>, <a href="http://thesexyscience.blogspot.com/" title="">SexyScience</a>, <a href="http://fourthirstypandas.blogspot.com/" title="">Thirsty Pandas</a> and <a href="http://successorsofsolomon.blogspot.com/" title="">Successors of Solomon</a>. Lovely blogs. But will they last past May?
Now, you may remember a similar experiment at Duke - see <a href="http://scienceblogs.com/clock/2007/07/science_blogging_at_duke.php" title="">this</a> and <a href="http://scienceblogs.com/clock/2008/01/student_blogging.php" title="">this</a> and especially <a href="http://scienceblogs.com/clock/2009/07/scienceonline09_-_interview_wi_2.php" title="">experiences of Erica Tsai</a> who ran the program. Why did all the Duke student blogs end once the class was over?
There is always a lot of chatter online (see the most recent commentary about a Pew study <a href="http://thecustomercollective.com/TCC/50320" title="">here</a>, <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE6135OH20100204" title="">here</a>, <a href="http://www.thesocialpath.com/2010/02/why-teens-arent-blogging.html" title="">here</a> and <a href="http://trueslant.com/jmaureenhenderson/2010/02/09/teens-tongue-tied-or-just-too-cool-for-twitter-blogging/" title="">here</a>) about teens and college students not blogging. No, the kids are <a href="http://scienceblogs.com/christinaslisrant/2010/02/technologically_conservative_y.php" title="">not naturally Web-savvy</a> - they also need to learn.
They use <a href="http://twitter.com/" title="">Twitter</a> much <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/chart-of-the-day-the-youngsters-flocked-to-twitter-in-2009-2010-2" title="">more than the stats usually show</a>, <a href="http://www.zephoria.org/thoughts/archives/2009/08/06/teens_dont_twee.html" title="">but mostly keep their profiles private</a> and only talk to each other. They use it instead of texting because it is cheaper and platform-agnostic. Of course, they are all on <a href="http://www.facebook.com/home.php?" title="">Facebook</a> (or <a href="http://myspace.com/" title="">MySpace</a>, <a href="http://www.danah.org/papers/essays/ClassDivisions.html" title="">depending on socio-economic status</a>), where they also interact with each other. The artistically inclined may connect with each other on <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/" title="">DeviantArt</a>. And yes, there are many who blog (though they may have predominantly chosen a more social blogging platform like <a href="http://www.livejournal.com/" title="">LiveJournal</a>).
All of the above are social uses, which is quite age-appropriate. Some of them (certainly not all) will, just like their elders, pick up blogging later, when they find a need to express themselves in long-form writing. Teaching them how to blog is part of their education, or at least should be.
But none of this really applies to the cases I started this post with - these are young people who have been taught how to blog, have done it well, probably got positive feedback for it from the instructor and peers, and obviously have something to say. So, why do they quit?
Is it because they see it as homework? Something that needs to be done for class, and can be stopped once the final grades are in?
Or is it because all the feedback they get comes only from the instructor and classmates? The class is a small community which formally and automatically dissolves the moment the semester is over. If the community is gone, who are you writing for?
Would they continue blogging if they felt they were a part of a larger community and, more importantly, a continuous community, one that has no expiration date? If we all sent them traffic by linking to their posts from our blogs, Twitter, FriendFeed, Facebook etc., would they see that kind of feedback as a motivation to keep writing? If we posted comments on their blogs, would they feel like members of a broader community and would gladly continue engaging with it?
The same goes for even younger bloggers. Duke summer program had high schoolers blogging as well. How about <a href="http://missbakersbiologyclass.com/blog/" title="">Miss Baker's students</a>? Would comments on their posts be felt as intrusive or would they be seen as welcoming to a broader community and motivating to keep writing?
Are one-off events, e.g., attendance at <a href="http://www.scienceonline2010.com/index.php/wiki/" title="">ScienceOnline</a> conferences, sufficient to give students enough momentum to continue long-term?
Thoughts?

<a href="http://www.masonposner.com/home.htm" title="">Mason Posner</a> is a professor of Biology at Ashland University in Ohio. He also blogs on <a href="http://masonposner.com/afisheyeview/" title="">A Fish Eye View</a> (though I notice he did not update it in a while). About a year ago, and inspired by some discussions emanating from ScienceOnline'09, he <a href="http://masonposner.com/afisheyeview/2009/01/blogging-in-the-college-classroom/" title="">decided to try using blogs</a> in his teaching. He did it last spring. And he is doing it again this spring.
You can check out his Marine Biology Course <a href="http://ashlandmarinebio.blogspot.com/" title="">class blog</a>, where he and the students are all posting in one place.
But also check out his Senior Capstone course in Biology and its <a href="http://sciencebloggingatau.blogspot.com/" title="">class blog</a> - he is the only one blogging there - the students are required to start and run their own blogs.
Now look at the Class Blogroll on the margin - take a look at last year's (2009) student blogs - wonderful writing on all of them, good stuff. But! One of them is already <a href="http://leadingcauseofdeath.blogspot.com/" title="">deleted</a>.

BikeMonkey Re-PostA most-confirmedly ex-competitive athlete, I. The formative years, athletically, were the overall formative years and I had the benefit of some formal coaching here and there. One might debate the quality but it was certainly coaching.
I run across the later-life convert to running or cycling, now and again, and there is a common theme. The person who "gets serious" about what-have-you. Marathons, USCF type bike racin', etc. Being smart and dedicated people they go out and train a whole bunch and usually get pretty decent. Then, there is the plateau. "I want to qualify for Boston, my times are consistent but I can't get faster". "I want to do group rides but I'm not fast enough". "I got dropped from the Cat 5s".
Intensity.

Slow dialogue: 1:23
Explanations: 3:50
Fast dialogue: 15:59
I was absent at last month’s meeting, so imagine my surprise when I found out that I had been elected the committee’s secretary! As part of my duties, I have to take minutes at each meeting. Taking minutes means I have to pay attention and try my best to transcribe what each person says, or at least do my best to summarize.
At yesterday’s meeting, the chair called the meeting to order and I conducted a roll call. Then, the chair went over the agenda and we discussed old business. We needed to vote on a couple of proposals from the past meeting, and it was my job to ask for a show of hands of those in favor of and those opposed to each one.
After that was done, we went on to new business. We talked about the first item of business for 20 minutes when someone suggested that we table the topic until the following meeting, and the participants agreed. After another long discussion about the second agenda item, we ran out of time. The chair adjourned the meeting.

Firms should promote diversity in the workplace if they are to attract and retain talented workers, the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) claims.
A report by the organisation recommends that business avoid giving workers 'trendy new generation labels' but says that some differences are important in how they relate to their staff.
According to the study, companies which maintain a clear commitment to diversity are more likely to attract employees, especially those from younger generations, than those which do not attach any significance to the issue.
Dianah Worman, adviser on diversity at the CIPD, comments: 'The more you inspect the diversity agenda, the more it is apparent that focusing on people as individuals and delivering fairness for everyone is vitally important to become an employer of choice.'
Furthermore, the report suggests that firms should attempt to be more inclusive when offering schemes such as flexible working, suggesting that older employees may have an interest in it as alternative to retirement.
Worman adds that this shows businesses need to be aware of evolving employee expectations and adapt to these if they are to be successful in recruitment and retention.
Previous research from the CIPD claimed that companies are concentrating on retaining and developing their workers instead of seeking new talent, due to a perceived skills shortage.

Periodo: 07/07/2009 - 17/07/2009
Città: RONCADE, TV
Luogo: MASTER CAMPUS CA' TRON
Oggetto: Scuola di Archeologia Virtuale
Abstract: La scuola nasce dell'esperienza del CNR ITABC nel campo del Virtual Heritage e dei corsi di "Tecnologie Integrate" La scuola nasce inoltre dalla sperimentazione congiunta dell'Università di Padova e del CNR ITABC, maturata durante il Progetto Ca' Tron, di un metodo di lavoro innovativo che coinvolge diverse professionalità e differenti approcci, all'interno di un unico percorso di interpretazione e ricostruzione del paesaggio antico. La riflessione sul problema della comprensione dei dati e della valorizzazione delle conoscenze ha infatti condotto ad adottare tecniche di Realtà Virtuale finalizzate all'acquisizione e contestualizzazione delle informazioni, alla simulazione e verifica delle ipotesi, favorendo così la comunicazione, dalla ricerca alla valorizzazione del Bene Culturale. Obiettivo della scuola è di introdurre i partecipanti ad una conoscenza delle metodologie e delle tecnologie digitali avanzate per la raccolta, la documentazione, la comunicazione e la valorizzazione dei beni culturali, dall'acquisizione di dati sul campo alla loro elaborazione ed integrazione in ambienti di realtà virtuale<p> <p>Riferimenti: Sofia Pescarin, sofia.pescarin@itabc.cnr.it

Event date: 2009-07-07 A conference entitled 'New worlds - new solutions - research and innovation as a basis for developing Europe in a global context' will be held on 7 and 8 July in Lund, Sweden.
The purpose of the conference is to provide input on which to base the development of the European Research Area (ERA) and the forthcoming Framework Programme for Research and Innovation.
During the Swedish Presidency of the Council of the European Union, Sweden's aim is to conduct a discussion on how to tackle the major challenges facing Europe. This is not only such topics as climate change and an ageing population, but also how to enhance the quality of research, how to increase the extent to which research results are put to practical use, how to increase participation by the new Member States, and the role of the Framework Programme in international research cooperation.

The majority of employers believe the Train to Gain programme is successful, the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills claims.
A poll carried out by the Learning and Skills Council shows that more than 90 per cent of employers and learners say they are happy with the flagship scheme and three-quarters of firms believe it has improved the performance and skills of their workforce.
The survey also finds two-thirds of employers say that the Train to Gain initiative has resulted in an improvement in their long-term competitiveness, despite it still being in its early stages, while 61 per cent claim it has boosted productivity.
Furthermore, 80 per cent report improved quality standards, with the same proportion noticing more self-confidence among learners.
Kevin Brennan, skills minister, comments: 'Behind these figures are real businesses with improved performance and real people with a brighter future and better life chances.'
The findings contrast with a poll from the Federation of Small Businesses last month, which claimed 88 per cent of respondents have not made use of Train to Gain and 78 per cent believe the scheme should be more flexible.

That's up from the 3 million consumers enrolled in 2,320 distance-learning programs in 2000-01. Most traditional colleges and universities now offer online courses as part of their regular degree programs, as well. Some, such as the University of Richmond School of Continuing Studies, offer a few specialized degree programs entirely online.

<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ScienceblogsChannelEducation/~3/mcNbMifBKqU/i_dont_believe_in_colleges_and.php">I don't believe in colleges and universities, I believe in libraries
[Confessions of a Science Librarian]</a>
A thought experiment.
It all started with this <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/20/us/20ventura.html?_r=1&hpw">Ray Bradbury quote in the New York Times</a>:
"Libraries raised me," Mr. Bradbury said. "I don't believe in colleges and universities. I believe in libraries because most students don't have any money. When I graduated from high school, it was during the Depression and we had no money. I couldn't go to college, so I went to the library three days a week for 10 years."
I've bolded the chunk that has resonated most strongly around the Internet, especially Twitter where it was widely tweeted and retweeted.
The <a href="http://twitter.com/timoreilly/statuses/2256201875">tweeter that most piqued my interest was Tim O'Reilly</a>, publisher of O'Reilly Books and all-round Web 2.0/Twitter Rockstar.
Now, I poked around a little on the web and on Twitter and as far as I could tell, O'Reilly has never really shown much interest in libraries or librarians before. Which is fine. Personally, I love his books, Safari is a great product for libraries and got it about digital books very early in the game. His view of publishing is very progressive and geared to an all-digital future, he's certainly at the forefront of trying to figure out a business model for technical book publishing. I buy a lot of O'Reilly books for my collection and I first got us on board with a Safari subscription for York 5 or 6 years ago. (Note to self: do this year's Safari title selections soon.)
So what drew him to Bradbury's comment, and what resonated about that comment among so many of his followers that <a href="http://twitter.com/#search?q=%20timoreilly%20libraries">caused them to retweet</a>?
I don't believe in colleges and universities. I believe in libraries.
I do have some thoughts on the issue and I think it revolves around having faith in content rather than institutions.
I suspect O'Reilly may have associated libraries less with their institutional nature than with our large collections of content that are freely available to our patron communities. Libraries are thought of as places where people can engage with information, knowledge and ideas, to learn independently and freely, to follow their own muses to where great books and literature take them.
Whereas colleges and universities are thought of as large, impersonal, factory-like institutions, slow to change, ivory towers that are closed to all but a few. They focus narrowly on branding and certification rather than true knowledge and learning -- sausage factories of the mind.
You learn in libraries. You are taught in colleges and universities. Active vs. passive.
Now, I don't believe either of these facile characterizations for a minute, and I could easily reverse them to make colleges & universities come out smelling like roses and libraries, not so much. But I do think that might be the dynamic that caught people's attention, and certainly someone like Tim O'Reilly sees his future bound up in making content available outside of institutional confines.
But it's an interesting way to look at things: content vs. institutions.
(It's worth noting that I definitely believe in both IHEs and libraries; I also believe in the vital role of libraries in those institutions.)

The aim is to let the members explore and learn in a self-steered setting, as a diversification of the internal training methods they have on offer for their employees. Subject matter is how to adapt their teaching to the digital reality their students are already living in, and the digital reality in place in the fields of work they are educating their students for.
We spent a full year exploring and Freddy Veltman worked with us the entire year, as we were her subject of empirical study for her PhD research into how professionals develop themselves. My own role was as designer of the original work format, as facilitator to the group and moderator in the group's online platform, and as subject matter expert for all things social media.
Last Thursday all members of the group presented their work to colleagues and management. A project that has been very dear to me has now ended. Time to look back for a bit.
The Big Five
During the year we realized as a group we were getting results and learning things in five different areas, that were relevant to Rotterdam University. These five areas were dubbed The Big Five by one of the group members, and the term immediately stuck:
Authenticity (Bringing your teaching as close as possible to reality. Real problems, real results, real work formats, making everything count.)
Co-creation (Involving both your students and colleagues in each and every stage of both development and execution of your teaching modules.)
Competences (What's needed for a teacher with regard to the first two points, and to do your own exploratory and networked learning as a teacher)
Knowledge Creation (What we learned that can be packaged for others and can be transferred to others in the organisation)
Work Form (How the free format self-steered learning group worked for us, how it can be used both in teaching as well as in growing professionally)
There is a lot to say about the five points above, but that warrants multiple posts, so I will not go into it now. In stead I want to focus on the effect the project had on the participants and on their students.
Informal meet-up this spring, Working session (by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/nlanja/">Anja</a>)
Change your work, change yourself
I doubt that at the start the participants knew what they were getting themselves into. Most of them thought they embarked on a project to modernize their teaching. But all, including me and the project manager, ended up (re-)shaping our skills and our attitudes in unexpected ways. I'll let a few quotes taken from the final interviews with group members speak for themselves.
"I rediscovered the fun of learning. I learned that merely working to improve my teaching is a boost in enjoying my work and be motivated all by itself."
"Doing things, acting on thoughts, gives a lot of space in my mind"
"I now have the guts to experiment."
"I am sad that I don't get to lecture as much anymore, I enjoyed that so much. But I am now much more involved with my students, much more in touch with them. I've started loving my students so much more."
"The relief of being able to ask anything in the group, however small or 'stupid'. All questions were good questions."
"I've lost my fear of technology, my fear of making mistakes using technology."
"I was brought up to be modest, to think that sharing was exhibitionist. I've learned to share so much more."
"Glad we had an entire year. Real change needs time."
"I came to change my teaching module, I left having changed my world."
"I feel closer to my colleagues and to my students. The contact is much more real."
"I've learned to own my work. My primary concern are my students, everything else is secondary. I would get away with doing much less, but that would make me feel completely miserable."
"It's been over 35 years I had so much fun learning so much."
"It's amazing to learn from and connect to people all around the world. It's inconceivable how much that means to me."
"I almost exhausted myself in the first months. Spending time on this project until 2 or 3 am. But I needed to."
"This project made my entire job much more fun. The space and freedom to explore and experiment."
The list goes on. Mind you, this is all irrespective of the fact that it has been a bumpy ride for the group at times. Harsh words have been exchanged between members, frustrations and tempers flared. This was no walk in the park.
Change your work, change your students
Group members also have a lot to tell about how changing the teaching modules, changing their own teaching skills and attitudes, impacted their students and the results the students achieved. In general appreciation for the courses went up, results stayed the same or went up as well. Especially for those modules where books and theoretical material were dealt with as resources while immediately applying that knowledge in the course. Students found themselves more challenged, more involved and having more understanding of the role of the teacher. Again a few quotes, from both teachers and students to wet your appetite:
"My students don't miss my lecturing at all."
"It's amazing what you get back from your students when you let go."
"Being open to my students that I am experimenting myself, actively inviting their feedback, and the amount of recognition you get from that."
"When I met a student some time later, and asked her how the course I adapted had effect on her, she started to cry."
"Amazing what we learned in three weeks. I now understand so much better what my future profession is about."
Me and Jet working, group working session (both by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ecphaff/">Ernst</a>),
I'll go into results on the Big Five and examples more in consequent postings. I feel privileged to have been part of this project.

learning: top priorities for adults’ education and training</a>
This seminar is a follow up of the previous event organised in January 2009, which was aimed at presenting and discussing ETF feasibility study on adult learning, within the context of an overall policy for human capital development. During the implementation of the study and the January’s event, certification and validation of learning have been identified as key topics to consider when developing an adult learning strategy.
The seminar will therefore be aimed at analysing the situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina, through the presentation from the institutions and the employers and to bring as well the experience from other countries where the system is quite well advanced like the case of France. The presentation will show why it is so crucial to have the employers involved since the very beginning of the process in a pro-active way in identifying and designing the relevant certificates and the appropriate procedures for certification. It will be also important to discuss these issues in the context of developments of the European policy in education and training as well as the support that Bosnia and Herzegovina will receive through the implementation of EC IPA funded projects aimed at developing and adult learning strategy and adult learning law and piloting some training initiatives.<a href="http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&articleId=9134271&source=rss_news">Why Even Successful Speakers Need To Practice</a>

A designated Small Business Sector Skills Council is needed to help the UK's smallest companies.
The Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) claims that micro-businesses, or those which employ less than five people, are currently excluded from the government's training programmes.
Research by the group shows that 88 per cent of micro-firms had not benefited from the Train to Gain scheme because they are not aware of it or believe they will not qualify, despite a £350 million pot being set aside to help the country's smallest enterprises.
Furthermore, 78 per cent call for the government training programmes to be more flexible and provide education in specialist areas such as health and safety, IT, marketing and other essential business management skills.
Colin Willman, FSB education and skills chairman, says that companies which employ a small number of people should not have to send them out of the workplace to meet their training needs.
'What we really need is dedicated training for the smallest firms, in the form of a new Small Business Sector Skills Council,' he adds.
Last month, the Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills revealed that £11 million has been invested in creating almost 3,000 new apprenticeships.

At the University of Texas-Dallas, history professor Monica Rankin needed a better way to get students involved in the classroom. The 90-person lecture hall was too big for back-and-forth conversation. So, with help from students in the school's emerging media program, she had her students set up accounts on Twitter—a micro-blogging service—and then use the technology to post messages and ask questions that were displayed on a projector screen during class.

Both <a href="http://springwise.com/life_hacks/shorttask/">ShortTask</a> and <a href="https://www.mturk.com/mturk/welcome">Amazon's Mechanical Turk</a> enable Internet-connected computer users to earn money performing quick tasks for organizations far and wide. Now, a new project aims to bring similar income opportunities to those in the developing world using the ubiquitous mobile phone.
Targeting the more than 2 billion literate mobile phone subscribers in the developing world, <a href="http://www.txteagle.com">txteagle</a> aims to help alleviate high unemployment levels in many rural areas of countries like Kenya with a crowdsourcing approach that offers new ways to earn extra money. The service connects corporations with small tasks to be completed—currently, the most common ones include software localization and translation into local dialects for companies like Nokia—and native people who can complete them in minutes by cell phone. Tasks are sent to multiple phone users by text message—"translate the phrase, 'address book' into Giriama," for example—and answers are accepted as accurate when the majority of users provide the same response. Compensation is determined by the number of times an individual’s response agrees with the consensus; penalties are imposed for wrong answers, while "don’t know" responses make no contribution. Over time the system learns a particular user's expertise, and can actively select the most appropriate tasks for them. It can also weight answers from long-term and historically accurate users higher than others, making it necessary to involve fewer other individuals when those users respond. Payment is made either to a bank account connected with an individual's phone number—accessible at any post office or local kiosk—or via airtime credit transfers.
The txteagle service is currently deployed in Kenya via Mobile Planet and Safaricom, and will soon be launching in Rwanda through MTN Rwanda and in the Dominican Republic through Viva. Additional partnerships in Africa and South America will be announced later this year, txteagle says. Also in the works is a version of the service that uses the commonly found Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD) protocol instead of SMS. One to partner with, try out or otherwise get involved in...?

As I've noted before, the U.S.'s health-care and education systems share some fundamental flaws: In both medical care and schooling we spend far more than other countries and get substandard results; in both cases, the overspending and poor results occur partly because our decentralized "systems" mean everyone does and measures everything differently, so you can't compare apples to oranges to even find out what works.
The folks at Economix <a href="http://economix.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/04/22/overpaying-for-educational-underachievement">look at this dynamic</a> in education from a return-on-investment perspective:
Education is a form of investment in a country's labor force and its overall economy. This means that educational shortcomings drag on economic growth. McKinsey estimates that:<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/60472435@N00/3486681130" title="View 'edugraf' on Flickr.com"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3325/3486681130_40d20f845d.jpg" alt="edugraf" border="0" width="500" height="418"></a> <a href="http://scienceblogs.com/neuronculture/2009/04/overpaying_for_educational_und.php#commentsArea">Read the comments on this post...</a><img src="http://feeds2.feedburner.com/~r/ScienceblogsChannelEducation/~4/pNXoRsoF7q8" height="1" width="1">If the United States had in recent years closed the gap between its educational achievement levels and those of better-performing nations such as Finland and Korea, G.D.P. in 2008 could have been $1.3 trillion to $2.3 trillion higher. This represents 9 to 16 percent of G.D.P.
Similarly, if the United States had been able to narrow the achievement gap between white students and their black and Latino peers, the country's G.D.P. would have been an estimated $310 billion to $525 billion higher, or 2 to 4 percent of G.D.P.
Unfortunately, throwing money at the system doesn't seem to help, either. As it is, the United States gets comparatively little bang for its buck on education spending. The United States spends more than any other country per point on the PISA math exam, and 60 percent more than the O.E.C.D. average:
