Research Terminology Dictionary, ED 601

  Research Terminology Dictionary   Characteristics of Quantitative Research O’Leary offers a tightly packed summary of the “quantitative tradition” in figure 8.1, page 121: Paradigm/assumption: positivism, empiricism Methodology: scientific method, hypothesis driven, deductive, reliable, valid, reproducible, objective, generalizable Methods: large scale, surveys, random control trials Data Type: generally quantitative Analysis: statistics This is so well…


Literature Review, ED 601

The following five articles were identified in literature search using the terms, “Alaska Native,” “online learning,” or variations like “online education” and “online course.” Additionally, the inclusion of search terms identifying methodology, for examples “action research” or “grounded theory,” also helped with discoverability. Certainly using the more inclusive search term “Native Americans” combined with variations…


Final Project, ED 653

Original Post Folks, You should have an e-mail from my instance of Moodle inviting you to view the course. http://www.rdheath.com/moodle/ Please login and have a look around.  One lesson learned from teaching my last unit is to have only the welcome and the first lesson visible to students and to reveal the course as we…


Bob’s Project 4, 4/11/2015, ED 653

Original Post Project 4 – Web-based Tools Use web-based tools to design a learning activity. Review your strategy map to locate an appropriate activity. Remember that students benefit more from active learning experiences (something they do or create) than from passive activities (something they view or listen to). Be creative in designing your learning activity!…


Document Accessibility, ED 653

Original Post H-5-MS-Word-Document-with-graphics-and-accessibility-Bob-Heath Ok, so in the end, it is a pdf, rather than an MS Word document, but I think that might even accomplish more in terms of accessibility.   I took my product review paper and based on chapter 3 of: Coombs, Norman (2010). Making Online Teaching Accessible: Inclusive Course Design for Students with…


Bob’s Screen Cast, ED 653

Original Post   This was an interesting process for me.  I did a first draft with Jing and it was horrible — though it did give me practice.  I talked with one of our Academic ITS people and he turned me onto Chrome Screencastify.  This version is my second go with that product.  To my…


LMS Comparison Business POV, ED 653

Original Post Final Project, Third Draft Strategy Learning Management Systems Comparisons from the Business Point of View   5 thoughts on “LMS Comparison Business POV” Owen March 23, 2015 at 3:09 pm Hey Bob, I like your UBD Tree “deconstructed.” Did you find the little fillable boxes annoying? Are you more comfortable with this more…


Bob’s Talkin’ Thang, ED 653

Original Post Intro to Leadership I think this is the illest homework I’ve had in a long time.  I just downloaded Audacity and started messing about.  Used the man-cubs gaming headset for the microphone (he’s off to college so all the toys are mine).  I think this gets the job done but I see lots…


Assessment Redux, ED 653

I am completely aware that what I am doing for assessment in this training module is situation specific. In another workplace, tests and quizzes, might be appropriate. Likewise, a rubric similar to the example from Arizona, or even one more traditionally classroom shaped might be appropriate. The hard question is do I have the skills…
