1) The Open Learning Initiative from Carnegie Mellon University is a free offering of courses ranging from Biology to Economics to French. I entered into the French module and performed some of the exercises - they were quite engaging and would be an extremely useful addition to any French course in their student-directed pacing, self-testing, and real-life (video) simulations.
Professors who are interested in using some of the OLI models (Causal and Statistical Reasoning, Economics, French I, French II, Logic, Statistics)must register and pay a small fee. However, there are also resources for building courses and opportunities for students (or any interested individual) to participate in these courses.
2) From Merlot (Multimedia Educational Resource for Learning and Online Teaching), ideas for course enhancement and a Virtual Instructional Design helper
Purpose
Research Question:
How can the College's Graduate/Professional Studies programs be enhanced or reconfigured in order to meet the changing needs in Northeast Ohio?
This is an attempt to capture my research process and to share my research findings with as many people as possible. My project goal is to research workforce needs and economic development projections in Northeast Ohio in order to provide recommendations for program enhancement, particularly in Graduate and Professional Studies.
I chose to conduct my project in this public manner in order to explore one aspect of the type of technologically integrated learning for which I am advocating. I have not blogged before, so bear with me.
Early posts merely reflect information gathered. As I progress, my later posts will be more analytical and synthetic. I invite any and all comments, thoughts, musings, questions, and connections. The more personal input I receive, the more meaningful my recommendations will become.
If I have learned anything in the past few weeks, it is certainly that there are many important things that I just don't know, so help me out if you see the need.
