Class Differences: Online Education in the United States, 2010

Unit on Vista Build

E-Learning center at NAU notified me that units on Vista Build server will be migrated to new server at the end of January 2011.  If you use Vista Build to deliver your units, be sure to backup a copy of your unit and/or download all your unit materials etc. After the migration, your unit should be accessible again but they may look different since it will be migrated to Blackboard Learning. If you do not use Vista Build to deliver your unit, your unit will NOT be migrated to the new server. If you have any questions, please contact me.

Common Feedback for L5 Multi-Dimensional Discussions

L5 Multi-Dimensional Discussion is a very important activity because it provides us opportunity to understand the elements of distributed learning designs (Content; Integrated Technologies, CMS tools; Constructivist instructional strategies; & Related evaluations); and to design effective distributed learning instructions. 

Below is common suggestions/information for you to enhance you final units.

·         Many classmates had excellent distributed learning instruction designs, particularly in “Interactive” dimensions.  Consider to learn from them and feel free to incorporate them into your own final units.

·         Remember! Our units should integrate “Interactive” dimensions rather than Expository or Active.

·         When more Diigo postings are share by our classmates, they could be harder to follow.  You can Visit ETC677 Group’s Diigo site to view a chronological format to obtain better ides of the Diigo Discussions (http://groups.diigo.com/group/etc677)

·         It is highly suggested that you subscribe RSS feeds for ETC677 Diigo Group to help you to organize our classmates’ postings.
