I'd like to begin with a few moments of reflection on recent events, in particular the October 28, 2010, faculty development session on e-learning.____________________Background image: "The remains of a massive star that exploded, perhaps ... witnessed by Chinese astronomers in 386 A.D."

A big BANG!

Though it may seem confusing at first glance, "The rough map that you see in this screen capture grew out of notes from October 28, 2010, presentations by Professors Kanai, Kozono, and Lavin. / It starts at the pink "e-learning" node [previously] near the center of the screen. / The orange, red, and yellow nodes highlight challenges, risks, and other concerns from the presenters or the audience. / The green nodes represent footprints and [related] interests of a language teacher exploring a galaxy of possibilities, / especially in the creation of blended learning opportunities for students, who live in a rapidly expanding universe" (script). The graphic in this presentation links to a screencast produced from that map and script with TechSmith's Jing ®, vers. 2.4.30037, and published at Screencast.com (My Library, 2010-10-29_2301-ExplainingCmapofeLearning). At present (2011.01.17), it is possible to read and write comments on the Jing viewing page (http://www.screencast.com/users/ltdproject/folders/Jing/media/f9cc83ed-62d8-4dce-8e18-6ca27f8ab282).____________________Background image: "The remains of a massive star that exploded, perhaps ... witnessed by Chinese astronomers in 386 A.D."

Virtual Compasses

4

To help us chart a course among virtually unlimited possibilities, I'd like to propose two compasses, or rough models of a few dimensions of learning, because ".. [t]he provision of models is important for discovery," as hypotheses against which to examine one's findings, and as guides for precision of inquiry (Driscoll, 2000, pp. 230-231).____________________Background image: "The remains of a massive star that exploded, perhaps ... witnessed by Chinese astronomers in 386 A.D."

As we continue, please keep in mind that these compasses represent only a few of the directions that teaching and learning may take us.____________________Background image: "The remains of a massive star that exploded, perhaps ... witnessed by Chinese astronomers in 386 A.D."

Where we're going

6

Where I'd like to hope we're heading, both as teachers and learners, is a beautiful place – one not to many light years away. I'm looking forward to a voyage of discovery together, if only for a few minutes today. [¶] This presentation will introduce you to a learner-centered approach in blending learning opportunities. The question is whether the BANG from exploding stars is powerful enough to move us beyond our own customs and traditions, and to propel us into a new galaxy where we focus on students' learning, and in particular on goals, resources, and activities to facilitate learning, rather than on teaching.____________________Background image: "M82: Images From Space Telescopes Produce Stunning View of Starburst Galaxy" (Smithsonian Institution's photostream).

A Learning Galaxy

7

In this presentation, I would like to lead you outward, away from the former center, "Content," which is too small to see in the deep background of this image, and beyond "Study/Teaching" as well, from which to imagine yourself drifting backwards virtually at the speed of light towards a learning galaxy.____________________Background image: "The remains of a massive star that exploded, perhaps ... witnessed by Chinese astronomers in 386 A.D."

Blended Learning: Background

8

• Prefectural University of Kumamoto

• Administrative studies faculty

• 2nd year students taking

• English as an additional language

• A required course

As reverberations from the exploding content star diminish, I hope you'll get a fresh, new sense of who is at the center of a learning galaxy. Here, for instance, we see a thin slice of the academic "backdrop against which [formal learning] interactions play" (Driscoll, 2000, p. 229).____________________Background image: "The remains of a massive star that exploded, perhaps ... witnessed by Chinese astronomers in 386 A.D."

Statement of Purpose (1)

9

• "'The purpose of English 5 and 6 is to help students improve their English reading skills' (General Education Committee resolution, December 10, 2008)."!

Syllabus, 英語 V(c), 概要及び到達目標, ¶1 (2010 [emphasis added])

What you see here is a clipping from a syllabus making it clear that student learning—blended, e-, or neither—is our goal. Teaching is just part of the backdrop for learning processes.____________________Background image: "M82: Images From Space Telescopes Produce Stunning View of Starburst Galaxy" (Smithsonian Institution's photostream).

Amplification of Purpose

10

• "The aims of these ... courses, both required for graduation, are to develop students' attitudes, knowledge, and skills with respect to reading purposes and processes, communicative competence, autonomous language learning, and vocabulary development."

Syllabus, 英語 V(c), Aims and Overview, ¶1 (2010)

The syllabus goes on, online and still also in print, and becomes part of a blend of resources for Day One homework in each course. Yet the emphasis remains on students.____________________Background image: "M82: Images From Space Telescopes Produce Stunning View of Starburst Galaxy" (Smithsonian Institution's photostream).

Blended Learning: Goals

11

• Students' skill development,

• Reading and vocabulary comprehension,

• Strategic competence,

• Spoken and written language use,

• Autonomy, satisfaction, and success.

In a nutshell, this course entails near-term, long-term, and global goals. Though reading and vocabulary comprehension are near at hand, much writing in the target language is still far off. Autonomy, satisfaction, and success may come hand in hand at any time, some now, and hopefully more in the future.____________________Background image: "M82: Images From Space Telescopes Produce Stunning View of Starburst Galaxy" (Smithsonian Institution's photostream).

Blended Learning: Resources (1)

12

• Offline

• For students

• Classroom presentations

• Dictionaries

• Textbook

• Library collections

• Offline

• For teacher

• Textbook

• Classroom Audio CD

• ExamView Assessment Suite (CD-ROM)

Now, before turning to the two main examples that I'd like to share with you today, please let me introduce you briefly to a few resources available for use offline, online, or both. These two lists show what is mainly for either students' or for teachers' use offline. Please note that classroom presentations are already an audio-visual blend with chalkface, overhead video camera, and computerized displays, and that a textbook is still a core resource.____________________Background image: "M82: Images From Space Telescopes Produce Stunning View of Starburst Galaxy" (Smithsonian Institution's photostream).

• Online

• For students

• Blog posts and comments

• Classroom presentations

• Concept maps

• Course syllabi

• Dictionaries

• Google

• Docs

• Forms

• Spreadsheets

• Mail messages

• Wikispaces

This list shows more resources available for student access and use online. Please note that few classroom presentation resources are online. The resources in green are core for the main examples for today, but these too are blended in terms of use in-class or between classes, a distinction Mr. Lavin suggested on Oct. 28, 2010, as well as blended with other online resources such as a blog and a wiki.____________________Background image: "M82: Images From Space Telescopes Produce Stunning View of Starburst Galaxy" (Smithsonian Institution's photostream).

• English V-VI Wikispaces (Resources page TOC)

• The LLD Project Blog (sidebar elements)

These two web snapshots show where students can find online assignments, feedback, and other resources. The first is of an automatic table of contents on a wiki page; the second is of automatic listings in a Language Learner Development Blog sidebar.____________________Background image: "M82: Images From Space Telescopes Produce Stunning View of Starburst Galaxy" (Smithsonian Institution's photostream).

Blended Learning: Resources (2b) – a Closer Look

15

• FreeMind templates (word web)

• FreeMind models (concept map)

Here we have two screenshots showing online resources for vocabulary development. Both in class and online, I provide models. The model on the right is from an in-class demonstration, saved as a graphic image, and posted on the course wiki (English V-VI, Assignments_V-VI). Students get templates from the course wiki or via email, and use the same software (SourceForge, FreeMind, 2010) to make, share, and review their own vocabulary collections. [¶] Over the past few years, students' creation of concept maps has shifted from free-hand, pencil and paper maps, to free-hand computer-based maps, and then to use of ready-made templates such as the one on the left. For now, that is today's first main example of blended learning resources. Perhaps a demonstration of mind-mapping software will be possible at a later date.____________________Background image: "M82: Images From Space Telescopes Produce Stunning View of Starburst Galaxy" (Smithsonian Institution's photostream).

A Blended Learning Activity

16

• In-class preparation (textbook: contents)

• Online assignment (English V-VI wiki)

• Online submittals (Google Form):

• ACTIVE Unit Preferences &

• Reading Habits Questionnaire

Now let us turn to today's second main example. This particular learning activity starts in class with textbooks, and then moves online. The wiki assignment (left) and mail reminders point out an online survey form for collecting students' responses, in particular, their choices of units to read each semester.____________________Background image: "NGC 3079 (A spiral galaxy about 55 million light years from Earth...)"

Statement of Purpose (2)

17

• "This questionnaire is to collect your preferences for units [in the textbook] to study in coming months, along with general information about your reading habits....

• If you review the front matter (Contents & ff.), choose units, and prepare explanations for your choices in advance, I estimate 20-30 minutes may be necessary for careful completion of all items online. Please read ... [the] questionnaire carefully, avoid choosing units [that] we've already studied [or started to study], type accurately, and submit the form only once."

PB, email message to students, May 6, 2010

This assignment calls for a preview of the whole textbook, 1st semester, and a review, 2nd semester. For students, it is an opportunity to express and explain their reading preferences, and to help make course reading selections. For the teacher, it is a much easier way to gather such information from students than collecting paper forms, and tabulating responses on a spreadsheet by hand.____________________Background image: "NGC 3079 (A spiral galaxy about 55 million light years from Earth...)"

Publication of Findings (1)

18

• In-class displays

• 2nd semester data

• Cumulative

Google spreadsheets become online resources for use in the classroom and beyond. For example, the red marks give feedback on inappropriate unit choices for the 2nd semester. On these two sheets, I've red-flagged units that students had studied during 1st semester, and shouldn't have chosen for 2nd semester.____________________Background image: "NGC 3079 (A spiral galaxy about 55 million light years from Earth...)"

• Blog post

• The LLD Project Blog

• ACTIVE Skills for Reading: Book 1 – revisited (2010.10.19)

• 2nd semester data

Whence we've come just now

20

• Inner Space

• In-class resources:

• Textbook front matter (Anderson, 2007, pp. 4-10):

• Table of Contents

• Reading and vocabulary tips

• Google Docs displays

• Outer Space

• Online survey (homework):

• Assignment on wiki

• Survey form:

• in mail messages, &

• at Google Docs

• Results posted on blog

These two lists sum up the resources and venues, both off-line and on-, that students and I have used for one blended learning activity, the Unit Preferences and Reading Habits survey. This slide brings the second main example and our short journey together today to an end. Thank you for attending.____________________Background image: "M82: Images From Space Telescopes Produce Stunning View of Starburst Galaxy" (Smithsonian Institution's photostream).

Benefits of e-Learning• Engenders "a strong sense of community";

• Supports effective, inclusive, and responsible group work;

• Scaffolds "collaborative constructivist learning";

• "Mode doesn’t matter! It’s more about effective teaching practices."

e- & Blended Learning• E-learning involves "the use of digital technologies

and media to deliver, support and enhance teaching, learning, assessment and evaluation" (Armitage & Ros, 2003, [n.p.]).

• "Blended learning is used to define a situation where different delivery methods are combined ... to deliver a particular course. These methods may include a mixture of face-to-face classrooms, online classrooms, and self-paced learning" (e-TQM College, [n.d.])

26

Problems with these definitions are that they conflate learning with teaching, and emphasize content and course "delivery methods" and venues rather than learning processes.

Online & Blended Learning• "According to the U.S. Department of Education, ...

students who studied in online learning environments performed modestly better than peers who were receiving face-to-face instruction" (Kessler, 2010, 1. Online Education "Doesn't Have to Suck", ¶4).

• "The modest difference in performance between online and physical classroom learners ... was larger for those students who learned through a blend of online and physical classroom conditions" (Kessler, 2010, 6. The Virtual Classroom Can Make the Physical Classroom More Effective, ¶2).

Balance for Learning• "School is no longer just one learning place.

Teachers must balance teaching applications in their lessons plans with technological information that evolves from the wider learning community. The anticipated result should be students’ deeper learning on how to learn — from content, with respect to both critical thinking and desirable character dispositions" (Jacobs, 2003).

Example: Group Discussions• The basic elements of small group discussions, focused on fundamental questions

of meaning, grounded in the history of arts, literature, politics, and science, and promoting imaginative approaches to general and expert knowledge, skills, abilities, and values can be offered in a combination of venues. These include seminars, lectures, and on-line approaches, such as "blended" courses, in colleges of all types, community organizations, and adult education programs.

• ...

• Nevertheless, it seems likely that the “unbundling” of credentials and curricula, and the authority to certify credentials, and ever more strategic partnerships between campuses and companies, will lead inexorably to new opportunities for flexible, convenient, accessible, just-in-time, relevant and certified education and training in ways not now imaginable, but built on the foundations now visible.

What Teachers Need to Do• Both "... 'de-skill...'" (Naidu, 2003, p. 71), that is, escape from

"ingrained face-to-face [teaching] practices"

(Kraglund-Guthier, 2011, Shifting Paradigm, slide 9)

• And re-skill:

• "... shift from the role of content provider to [that of] content facilitator,"

• "gain comfort and proficiency in using the [tools and technology] as the primary teacher–student link, and"

• "learn to teach effectively without the visual control provided by direct eye contact."

(Kraglund-Guthier, 2011, Instructor['s] Role[s], slide 12, from Fein & Logan, 2003, p. 46)

Teachers Need Support!• Often there are few educational designers available to assist educators, so only a

small percentage of educators benefit from their assistance in creating pedagogically rich and engaging teaching and learning experiences. This problem exists not only at the level of educational institutions, but even at the level of whole country education systems where there is a recognized need to adopt pedagogically richer teaching and learning approaches, but relatively few expert educational design[er]s who can assist the huge educator workforce towards new approaches.

• ... Rather than immediately introducing complex and advanced pedagogical structures (such as role plays), ... reflective questions and template libraries could be [developed and] configured to support incremental advances from current practices and culture. In this way, the introduction of new pedagogical approaches could be carefully staged relative to existing and evolving practice within the educator workforce.
