  • Workshop collaboration - write to page Technology Supported Learning/TSL - Ideas worth sharing
    [link to technology - tool, application] - description of how this technology can be used to support learning with specific reference to one of the Seven Principles --your WE signature and date


Getting started

The course is set up as a series of topics - one for each of the Seven Principles.

Within each topic, there is a "lecture" - notes about the principle topic and technologies that can be used to support the principle.

The Activities link in each topic lists a number of tasks or activities for learning about the principle topic.

There are usually a couple of other links in each principle topic. The directions for what to do here are listed in the Activities resource.

For the facilitated course, we will focus on a different principle each week. The information section at the top of the course main page will have notes about the current topic to guide you.

  • The News forum and the Questions forums are discussions for course related information, not specific to a particular topic. The News forum is one way - facilitator (instructor) to participants (students). I encourage participants to post questions in the Questions forum so everyone can see the questions and answers. There is a Messages feature for quick notes, as well.

The material is set up so that you can complete it as a self-study course - not as much fun (I think) but useful for someone who wants to learn some new tricks. In self-study mode, the discussion activities aren't as relevant, but I encourage participants to make postings. I have left discussion postings from previous workshops to give you a sense of the interactions that can take place.

The principle topics are listed from most specific to more conceptual, so there is some value in working through the topics sequentially. The Catalyst related tasks build as you gain experience using the tools.

So start at the top and work your way down through the Seven Principles. Read the notes for the principle topic and work through the activities. Participate in the discussions. Work on adding technology to your course to support student learning. Enjoy!

Please let me know if you have further questions.
