These past couple of weeks, along with some projects I am working on with colleagues, I am also trying to make some headway for my fall class, EDDE 805, which is the first of two doctoral seminars. From what I can see from the abbreviated syllabus (love that it's just posted on the web!) one of the assignments is an analysis of dissertations of people who are already doctors in our field. The

Hello to fellow #dalmooc participants, and those who are interested in my own explorations of #dalmooc and learning analytics in general. It's been a crazy week at work with many things coming down all at the same time such as finishing advising, keeping an eye on student course registrations, and new student matriculations, making sure that our December graduates are ready to take the comprehensive

My Twitter Analytics, 10/2014Another day, another #dalmooc post :) Don't worry, I won't spam my blog with DALMOOC posts (even if you want me to), I don't have that much time. I think over the next few days I'll be posting more than usual in order to catch up a bit. This post reflects a bit of the week 1 (last week's) course content and prodding questions. I am still exploring

This spring semester seemed to be the spring semester for experimentation (then again, there is almost no bad time for experimentation).

Well, It's week 9 of Rhizo14 (or week 3 of the after party of rhizo14, depending on how you look at it.) Last week we had a discussion on de-mobing teachers (I guess enabling teachers to not teach to the test?). To be honest I lurked a bit last week on facebook since the day job, the other work obligations, the DML conference (which was awesome!) and subsequent weekend food poisoning

Check, check. Is this thing on?Linguistics isn't generally considered a topic, like one of those sexy STEM courses, that everyone talks about when they talk about degrees and fields to study for job related purposes. For this reason we haven't seen a lot of linguistics related MOOCs. Last year we had the Virtual Linguistics Campus offer three MOOCs using their own approach to teaching MOOCs which

Jeeves will point you to the right discussion forumA couple of years ago when I was putting pen to paper and I was working on my Academic Check-ins paper I was doing some more research into recommender systems, you know the systems like the ones that they have on Amazon.com and Netflix whereby if you rate a certain product in a certain way, or if you view certain products, more recommendations come
