Pondering what to learn next 🤔
Mentor-Teacher-Hybrid Presence-course design...

This semester is turning out to be one that is quite busy. It was a good idea to not teach a graduate this semester so I can focus on my dissertation proposal, however (like that irresistible desert at the end of the meal) various collaborative projects have come in to fill the "void" left in my schedule from not teaching (the one that is supposed to be going into dissertation prep), and

Pondering assigning groupwork...

The summer semester is over! Well, it's been over for several weeks now and the fall semester is in full swing, but I am not teaching this semester (focusing more on projects that have been on the back-burner for a while). Taking a break from teaching actually makes me think more about teaching in an odd way (I guess out of sight, but not out of mind).
One of the courses that I teach is
Getting beyond rigor
08-05-2016, 02:00 academia, Badges, INSDSG601, instructionalDesign, pondering, rhizomatic, rigor, teaching
The other day I got access to my summer course on Blackboard. With just under 25 days left to go until the start of courses, it's time to look at my old syllabus (from last summer), see what sorts of innovations my colleague (Rebecca) has in her version of the course, and decide how to update my own course. I had some ideas last summer, but since then the course has actually received
Grading Rubrics

The other day I came across this PhD Comics strip on grading rubrics. As a trained instructional designer (and having worked with instructional designers on and off since I started university as an undergraduate student) the concept of rubrics has really stuck with me. That said, I generally struggle with rubrics.
In theory they are brilliant - a way to objectively measure how well
Teaching, Grades, and the Impostor Syndrome

The other day I was reading a blog posted by Rebecca on marking and getting a sense of that impostor syndrome creeping in. I love reading posts like these because I still consider myself new to the teaching, even though I've been doing it for a couple of years now. Some of the things that she describes are things that I have thought or experienced, and some are not.
In terms of an
Seeking the evidence

In my quest to catch up on Pocket - before the news becomes stale, I came across this post by cogdog on seeking the evidence behind digital badges.
The anatomy of the Open Badge include the possibility of including links to evidence for the skill that you are being badged for. Of course, just because there is an associated metadata field available for people to use, it doesn't
EDDE 806 post II - Of research questions and generalizability
05-02-2016, 12:40 assignment, EDDE804, EDDE806, INSDSG601, INSDSG684, instructionalDesign, OER, PhD, postmodernism, reflection, research
Yesterday evening I attended my second formal EDDE 806 session (formal in the sense that I am doing blog posts for it, as opposed to just attending and being a fly on the wall). In any case, the session was pretty interesting, and Viviane Vladimirsky, a fellow EdD student, on her work on her dissertation.
Just prior to Viviane's presentation, as we were going around introducing ourselves
Assessing the process or the product?
12-01-2016, 04:00 assessment, INSDSG601, INSDSG690, instructionalDesign, open teaching, teaching
The other day I came across a post on ProfHacker written by Maha B. where she talked a bit about her own teaching experiences and whether one assesses the process of learning or the product of learning. I was thinking about this question in light of my own experiences as a learner, as a designer, and as an instructor who now has had experiences in introductory courses, capstone courses, and
So long 2015! What a "teaching" year!
31-12-2015, 04:30 INSDSG601, INSDSG684, INSDSG690, reflection, teaching
Well, 2015 is done! Grades are in, courses are complete, and things are in process for next year. Next spring I am not teaching, so I am thinking about cool (and instructive) things I can implement for the course that I am scheduled to teach this summer (intro to instructional design).
I won't work too hard on next summer's course just yet, too many other things to consider first.
Second life? Whatsdatnow?
16-09-2015, 04:30 assignment, INSDSG, INSDSG601, minecraft, training, virtualWorlds
Last week I was reading this article about abandoned campuses on Second Life - you know the virtual world that took the educational world by storm back in 2008(ish) and is now more or less synonymous with major flops and misdirects in educational technology.
For the past few days I've been looking like a madman through old backups of screenshots I had taken when I was more active in second life;
