High-Tech or High-Touch? Lit Review of CIC Research Brief for PAR Project
I have started a Participatory Action Research (PAR) project around blended learning at my university. I have never facilitated a PAR project before so I may be going about it the wrong way but I have a group and we are now collectively discussing what the research questions should be and soliciting documents from one another…

This is a part of collaboration with Laura Gogia and Jim Luke on bigger overarching theories (see below). You can check out blog posts from them about the presentation as well (Laura’s post and…

Response to High Noon Radio: Even Cowgirls get the Podcasts
It has been a few weeks since my last #Western106 post and it is true I’m not paying as much attention as I was in the beginning. But that is sort of the beauty of these kind of courses right – you can do what you want to and really concentrate on what you feel…

The Subjective ADDIE: an unmeasurable look at an ID standard
There is a special place in my heart for this little thing called #MOOCMOOC. Before #FutureEd or #rhizo15 I stumbled into #MOOCMOOC and it was a taste of what I would, in the next few years, start to more fully understand about cMOOCs and public discourse on the Internet in my field. It allowed me…

Last week was the first round of conversations that we kicked off about digital citizenship. I started off by presenting on digital citizenship with my colleague Jim Kerr during Martin Luther King day at Capital.

What do Westerns mean to me? A declaration in two parts about Music, Story, and Activism
I’ll admit that the idea of participating in #Western106 is a bit of a struggle for me. I sympathize with Maha Bali’s most recent post on this subject. I can see the political implications of Westerns as a genera and I’m not in agreement. I’m not a fan of violence. But I pride myself on turning…

Introducing #DigCiz: A “place” to discuss digital citizenship – My take aways from #HumanMOOC
What does it mean to be a person on the web? What is it like to think of the web as a place? As a group of people in a place what are our responsibilities to each other? I just finished up #HumanMOOC and it was a really good dance. I got to wax philosophic about…

To Err is Human: Listening, Forgiving and Forgetting
It t’was the MOOC before Christmas And through the interwebs All the creatures were stirring and… … I actually found it kind of hard to keep up with everything but that was ok. (I know that part doesn’t rhyme – I’m not that kind of poet) It’s not every year one gets a Graduation Solstice…

A call for more #HumanMOOC discussion groups. Or. The very human problem of access with more thoughts on the Interpersonal Multitudes Barrier (IMB)
So I planned this participant led discussion inside of #HumanMOOC. In terms of process I tweeted that I wanted to do this and asked who else might be interested. With those that responded I opened a DM channel and configured a time. Then I advertised the time on the tag to see if I could get…
