Accompanying the advent of blogs is a growing interest in their pedagogical potential in diverse educational settings, and, while still at the initial stage, both theoretical discussions and empirical evidence of educational blogging have begun to accumulate. Blogs are claimed to be versatile tools that, at least potentially, allow for improvements in various skills ranging from individual reflection to collaborative learning. In addition, blogs are readily available and easy to use, which seems especially appealing to teaching staff in institutions of higher education. With such a wide range of opportunities to promote learning comes a special challenge of how to operationalize educational blogging. In this article, the authors review recent research on the use of blogs in the context of higher education and highlight the implementation issues involved. The authors' primary concern is to help teachers avoid the pitfalls involved in implementing blogging in their classrooms and to design meaningful and purposeful blog activities. The first part of this article outlines the pedagogical benefits of blogs as reflective as well as interactive devices; the second part details, in the light of Moore's theory of transactional distance, three dimensions of implementation issues: structure, dialogue and learner autonomy. Special attention is given to the characteristics of blogs and the challenges as well as the issues involved when implementing educational blogs.", "tags": [], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2009-12-09T00:28:00Z", "dateModified": "2009-12-09T00:28:00Z" } }, { "key": "Z95PTG7R", "version": 1, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 7758, "name": "CELT Citation", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/celt_citation", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/7758/items/Z95PTG7R", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/celt_citation/items/Z95PTG7R", "type": "text/html" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 78432, "username": "dino.kordos", "name": "", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/dino.kordos", "type": "text/html" } } }, "creatorSummary": "Deng and Yuen", "parsedDate": "2009-05", "numChildren": 1 }, "data": { "key": "Z95PTG7R", "version": 1, "itemType": "journalArticle", "title": "Blogs in Higher Education: Implementation and Issues", "creators": [ { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Liping", "lastName": "Deng" }, { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Allan H.

To fill this gap, nine classroom blogs were selected through an extensive search, and systematically analyzed to determine how the teachers' instructional designs and classrooms' enactment were able to capitalize on the specific affordances blogging may offer to support reform-based learning goals.

They made use of blogs as a platform to critically reflect on their learning processes as well as to gauge the impact of blogs on their own professional growth. Forty-three student teachers in two teacher-education programs at two science and technology institutions in central Taiwan participated in this study. Two instructors created a blog for use as a discussion forum so that the student teachers could engage in and examine their own reflection process. The data collected was qualitative in nature, consisting of student teachers' posting messages and comments on the blog, surveys on the student teachers' reflective experiences using blogs as reflection tools, and group reflective dialogues recorded by instructors in class meetings over the implementation of blogs during the course. The results showed that the student teachers actively discussed teaching theories and their implications through blogs. All of the 43 teachers who took part in this study were reflective, and some critically reflected on their thoughts and made significant comments; and the participants considered technology a useful platform for reflecting and communicating with each other. The positive implications for the use of blogs as a medium to provide and promote critical reflection for EFL teachers are discussed.

The clicker treatment produced a gain of approximately 1/3 of a grade point over the no-clicker and control groups, which did not differ significantly from each other.

We also present data suggesting that students believe the use of clickers (1) is beneficial to their understanding of course concepts; (2) contributes to improving their exam grades; and (3) increases their interest in course topics \"even\" when the clickers are being used solely as research data gathering tools rather than the more traditional application in which clickers are used as an instructional device to gather student votes as part of Think-Pair-Share (TPS) or Peer Instruction (PI). Additionally, we offer a description of our classroom observations, which suggests that the use of color-coded A, B, C, D, E voting cards for gathering student answers in class may hold greater pedagogical value and provide a greater potential to gather accurate research results than do the use of clickers or Scantron[TM] forms.

Clickers have been shown to improve attendance and increase participation. Research on student grade improvement is ambiguous. The best application of clickers appears to be the immediate feedback assessment provided to the instructor and the students. In this article, the author discusses the advantages of ARS, as well as the problems with this kind of technology. She suggests that more research on the use of clickers in the classroom needs to be done in the field of clinical laboratory science to determine if using the clickers in this field improves student learning.

Four learning outcomes (objective learning performance, perceived learning of the subject matter, perceived skill development, and student satisfaction) are predicted to be affected by an overall flow score, four dimensions of flow, and three characteristics of flow activities. Support is found for a relationship between flow and students' perceived learning of the subject matter, students' perceived skill development, and student satisfaction.

We are particularly interested in how the design of \"rules\" or protocols for group interactions contributes to the quality of student learning experience. This article reports a three-year study on designing and refining such rules for online discussions. Specifically, we studied how rules support or inhibit online discussions. Reported in the article are the processes and rationales for each refinement of the rules based on real interactions. We argue that existing learning management systems still fall short in supporting various learning activities afford- ed by these rules. Therefore, various tools are proposed based on our findings. These tools should be integrated into existing learning management systems such as Blackboard or Moodle.

Results indicated that today's online learners are open minded in sharing social awareness information and their trust of course management systems is high. They prefer sharing information with more authoritative figures such as teachers. Differences among age groups existed, but none of the generations were consistently more open in sharing social awareness information. Overall, a strong preference in personalized, relationship-based social awareness information sharing was found. Instructors of online courses and designers of course management systems need to consider these characteristics of today's online learners in their design. This would help online learners to acknowledge themselves as feeling, intentional, thinking, and social human beings. This will cause improved learner interaction and engagement and eventually a successful online learning experience.

This study proposes a conceptual e-learning assessment model, hexagonal e-learning assessment model (HELAM) suggesting a multi-dimensional approach for LMS evaluation via six dimensions: (1) system quality, (2) service quality, (3) content quality, (4) learner perspective, (5) instructor attitudes, and (6) supportive issues. A survey instrument based on HELAM has been developed and applied to 84 learners. This sample consists of students at both undergraduate and graduate levels who are users of a web-based learning management system, U-Link, at Brunel University, UK. The survey instrument has been tested for content validity, reliability, and criterion-based predictive validity. The analytical results strongly support the appropriateness of the proposed model in evaluating LMSs through learners' satisfaction. The explanatory factor analysis showed that each of the six dimensions of the proposed model had a significant effect on the learners' perceived satisfaction. Findings of this research will be valuable for both academics and practitioners of e-learning systems.
