I've spent the week working on my final project. Although it was a lot of work, I'm pleased with the results as it will be a permanent, online record of my learning in the Assessment in E-Learning class. I chose the image above for my final project website, a small plant being nurtured, as a representation of my growing and learning about E-Learning. As you will see, I've learned so much about new ways to use assessment in online classes. I hope you enjoy reviewing my project.<br />

This week we had some great conversations about formative assessment and cybercoaching. I'm a big fan of cybercoaching. When I facilitate a class, I learn as much from the students as they learn from me. We all become cybercoaches as we post our work and give feedback to each other. This is my preferred way to learn. I'm glad that this is how our Assessment class is structured. I'm learning so much from the instructor and from my fellow students.<br />
<br />
I want to continue to learn about various tools I can use for cybercoaching. <a href="http://www.techsmith.com/jing.html" target="_blank">Jing </a>is one that I've found to work well. I've used <a href="http://voicethread.com/" target="_blank">Voice Thread</a> a little bit and hope to use it more. Last week at a conference, I learned about <a href="http://vyou.com/" target="_blank">Vyou</a>. I hope to try that one as well. I would like to research these and other ways to incorporate more cybercoaching in my classes.<br />
<br />
I also worked on my pre-course survey this week. I've used pre-course surveys in the past but our instructor added another twist. She suggested we add "warmth" to the survey. I really like this idea. It's another way to welcome the students to my class and help them get to know me a little bit better. Anything I can do to help this happen in an online class is beneficial. It's so important that students know I am there - a real person behind the material! Check out my survey (by clicking on the link below) and see if you think the "warmth" is there. <br />

The week was a bit challenging for me as I was in New Orleans all week at the Blackboard Conference. I learned a lot and found the learning to be a great complement to this class, however, it was difficult to keep up with everything as they kept us very busy at the conference. In class this week, we had a meaningful activity of taking some of our course objectives and tying our class activities to them using Bloom's Taxonomy. Bloom's Taxonomy is such an important piece for any class because it's too easy to fall into an "assign reading and then test mode", especially in an online class. By really analyzing each activity and making sure that we have activities for each level, we provide the students with a much richer learning experience. Creating this week's taxonomy table gave me the opportunity to categorize some of my class activities and really think about their value in meeting the course objectives. I enjoyed looking at my classmates' tables and learning how they each apply Bloom's Taxonomy in their particular disciplines. <br />
<br />
Now for fun, see <a href="http://bit.ly/ye6dlr" target="_blank">Homer Simpson's Application of Bloom's Taxonomy</a>.<br />
<br />
Example of Bloom's Taxonomy in Action:<br />

We had a great Midterm assignment called a Jigsaw. Our team of three members worked closely together to create a document about online assessment tools (Assessment Toolbox). We each chose a different online assessment tool and worked together in Google Docs to combine our individual research into one document (hence the "jigsaw"). Our team "met" several different ways - in the D2L Chat Room, by email, in the D2L discussion board and in Google Docs. I was surprised and pleased by how well this all came together! It was a great example of how well online groups can collaborate! <br />
<br />
I'm anxious to see all of the other groups' Toolboxes. When we put all the documents together, we will have a nice resource guide for future reference.<br />
<br />
For those interested, our group's Assessment Toolbox document is <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jiVvifu16KdSdSfIbdDO1iR3b-jxyFkLfrBPHu7SHZ4/edit" target="_blank">here</a>. Feel free to share in the Comments area other tools that you have used. <br />

This week I spent time looking at predictions from 2004 and how these predictions are now in place. Things like wikis, blogs, web 2.0 tools are now being used by many instructors for assessment in online classes. I also looked at the Educause Horizon Report that discussed mobile technology and its impact on the world of education. Here I've included a video from Dr. Curtis Bonk who discusses "Trends on the Horizon." I like to explore and think about "what's next." We're seeing some things peeking over the horizon - like MOOCs and students taking their entire online class on their phones. One of the things I really appreciate about online learning is that it's always changing. That is exciting to me!Nancy Woodwardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10980362133321331337noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2314638487000869706.post-58294603743628874052012-07-01T13:45:00.002-07:002012-07-01T14:13:11.923-07:00Assessment Concept Map<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I have found blogs to be a useful tool in the classroom. It's almost as
if the students "have the podium" at any given time. Our Learning
Management System (Blackboard) includes a blogging tool. Each student
sets up their blog the first week of class by introducing themselves in
the blog. Throughout the class, they have a choice as to how they submit
certain assignments. One of the choices is on their blog. The blog
allows me to determine student learning as they offer their insights on
the material we are covering throughout the semester.<br />
<br />
I also thought a lot about learner-centered teaching this week. I've always been a strong proponent of learner-centered classrooms. I've noticed that some of the faculty I work with find this a bit frightening. It's as if they are giving away "power" in their class. It does take a leap to move to a learner-centered classroom because it is most likely different than the classroom we are used to from our own educations. Lots of good things to think about this week as we continue to learn about assessment in eLearning.

Here are a few tidbits of information about me and my interests. The questions were asked of me by a classmate during our initial course interview in the Assessment in eLearning class.</b></i><br />
<i><b>1. Why have you chosen to take this course?</b> </i><br />
I decided to complete the UW Stout Online Teaching Certificate. I
work with faculty to assist them with their online classes and I'm
looking forward to learning some new tips and tricks.<br />
<b><i>2. What is your chosen profession? Where are you currently working?</i></b><br />
I am a faculty member at Madison Area Technical College. I work in the Center for Excellence in Teaching
and Learning. I have the privilege of working with our 350 full-time and
1200 part-time faculty to help them become better teachers. It's a
great job! A lot of what I do centers around online and hybrid learning. I enjoy sharing what I'm learning with our faculty members.<br />
<b><i>3. How will this course help your career and/or your students? </i></b><br />
I'm hoping to get some new tips and tricks regarding online teaching. I also teach online for Lakeland College and Wisconsin Technical College System.<br />
<b><i>4. What is your favorite travel location and why? </i></b><br />
I love to travel! I have so many favorites,
it's hard to narrow it down. Over spring break we took a train trip from
Madison to Seattle. That was really fun and we really liked Seattle. It
is a fun city with lots of fun things to see and it's pretty in that
it's right on Puget Sound. This summer, I'm headed to the Blackboard
Conference in New Orleans. It's going to be really hot in NOLA in July!
But it will be fun and full of interesting information.<br />
<br />
I'll be adding more as the days and weeks go on. There is so much to learn about eLearning and I'm glad to be able to share it with all of you!Nancy Woodwardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10980362133321331337noreply@blogger.com1
