TCC 2015 Online Conference

Hawaii 2-0 : The Future is Now | March 17-19, 2015

Developing and Sustaining Your Professional Learning Community with Twitter

by Leave a Comment

Session Description
Do you or your students currently use Twitter chats, such as @LRNCHAT or @PROFCHAT to develop and sustain your Professional Learning Community (PLC)? Do you participate in or view conference backchannel on Twitter to learn from conferences you are attending or cannot attend and to expand your PLC? Students, staff, and faculty in higher education contexts can find a wealth of support and extend workplace and classroom learning using these methods. Participants in this session will learn how one individual uses Twitter in these ways by seeing models of tweets, replies, and conversations and have a chance to participate in real-time contribution to the 2015 TCC backchannel as well as share about their use of Twitter to expand their PLC.

After a brief demonstration of examples of how @KURIOUSMIND uses Twitter during conferences and for real-time chats, participants will be asked to share their Twitter usage; the facilitator will screen-share and show the activity on Twitter. Participants with Twitter accounts will then be encouraged to create backchannel about the 2015 TCC sessions they have or will attend at this year’s conference.

HOT Classroom: Iterations on Equipping a Here-or-There Instructional Space

by Leave a Comment

Session Description
The blending of technology-mediated synchronous instruction with face-to-face instruction has been explored in many contexts and with several technologies. With the advent of web conferencing, the location from which learners could join a synchronous environment has become a non-factor in participation. In a Fall 2013 graduate course, the presenter allowed students to determine whether to participate online or face-to-face on a class-to-class basis. Essentially, students chose to come “here” to a classroom, or participate from “there” by web conference – wherever worked best for them. Subsequently, the presenter began researching and experimenting with a variety of equipment with the intent to ease the burden on instructors using a HOT approach. This presentation will demonstrate selected equipment and review the iterations of equipment and revisions applied thus far for a low-cost, highly effective HOT classroom.

Creating a Culture for Collaborative Course Design

by Leave a Comment

Session Description
How do your faculty collaborate during a course design? Do you have expert instructional designers who are also faculty and serve in both capacities during course designs? At Ashford University we discovered how to leverage existing faculty expertise with online course design as part of a revised process in the College of Education. This session explores the process of piloting a course design process at Ashford University. The revised process for online course design created a collaborative course design experience and is producing more aligned, engaging, empowering, and effective courses and programs. This session focuses on the process and related culture changes, personnel and process calibrations, and examples of our successes and challenges thus far with the pilot of the new process. Access to documentation is available to participants in this session upon request.
