Random Thoughts on E-Learning & Instructional Design

What is Blended Learning?

Some people consider blended eLearning to be the use of a variety of online delivery methods to present content and activities to learners. Thus with this approach, the entire course still remains online, but uses a blend of materials to present the content.

In your opinion, what do you consider to be “blended learning”?

To Twit or not to Twit… (or is it tweet?)

Twitter took off on the idea that you can and may want to keep up with people you care about. You post what you are doing at the moment, thoughts, ideas, passions. And, others post, too. The premise here is that you get to keep up with friends and really get to know the intimate details of their lives. There may be some things we really don’t want to know. But, you get the idea.

So, the question is, how does this work in an educational setting? I can see the use of blogs, wikis, social bookmarks, slideshare and even digg. Twitter was conceived with the idea that you can follow others, that you care for, around and know what their doing at any moment they choose to post. People can follow you, but do you have time to stop and twitter? I find it challenging. I can barely find time to read and work on my assignments. I’m curious to know. What do you think of twitter in teaching/learning?

Hello World!

Hi All,

This is my first blog post. It’s my first for this course EDIT 772F09 and first ever. Well, aside from blogging in blackboard.

I find it ironic. Has anyone gone to see the movie Julie & Julia? My daughter, Angie, and I went to see it last night. It is a story of Julia Childs along with a parallel story of a writer named Julie who decides to challenge herself to create every one of Julia Childs’ recipes from her cookbook and write a blog about it. We both enjoyed it. If you go to see it tell me what you think.
