Changing Roles in Online Teaching and Learning
(This session is free to TLT Group Members Fee to others)
May 22, 2013 2:00pm Eastern Time
This session is free to TLT Group Individual Members. ($75 to others)
We have done a session on roles such as VOC. In this session the plan is to talk of other roles such as that of a scribe, maybe even the designated learner. There could be a designated questioner, naysayer, optimist, etc. What else have people used or what else could be done.
This is especially relevant to our MOOC creation and to our Silver Cloudians who we hope will take some of these roles as we proceed.

You can still join the
Seven Futures of American Education schMOOC/MOOCOW
It will conclude on June 21, 2013 and consist of four live synchronous sessions and four modules.
This link will take you to a video introduction to the MOOC
The schMOOC/MOOCOW* (Massive Open Online Course Or Whatever) will explore John Sener's book "The Seven Futures of American Education: Improving Learning & Teaching in a Screen-Captured World."
The series will include these participation options ("paths"):
guided sequence to enable participants to create an action plan for implementing one or more quality improvement strategies in their course, program, or institution.
“do-it-yourself” (DIY) approach which allows participants to learn what they wish by defining their own objectives and using available resources (both inside and outside the course) to attain them as desired.

The series will also model several of the key strategies described in Seven Futures, including:
learner-generated content (create an action plan and other content that you can use),
event-anchored learning (participate in TLT Group's FridayLive! synchronous events to S‘anchor’ course activities), and
impact assessment (opportunities to reflect on what you’re learning, mine insights, and assess their impact on you, your students, your colleagues...).
NOTE: *a “schMOOC/MOOCOW” is our version of a MOOC (Massively Open Online Course):
schMOOC” = “somewhat connectivist, hypothetically Massive Open Online Course” --
“somewhat connectivist” because the course offers DIY and other connectivist options but also offers more structure than a typical cMOOC. “hypothetically” Massive because the course is open to all but not likely to be huge.
