Supporting Meaningful Learning with Online Resources Developing a Review Process
During the 2:15 to 3:00 p.m. block of the conference I attended the lecture given by Heather Leary of Utah State regarding how to develop meaningful learning using online resources.
I'm very interested in this subject, as I work for Regional Campuses and Distance Education here at USU and the majority of our students are non-traditional students taking independent study, online or IP video broadcast courses.
I feel that our students could benefit a great deal from the initiative that Heather Leary et al. is spear-heading. Their idea of creating a rubric to help identify high quality resources is excellent.
As a student I'm interested in the goals explained, which were:
- Finding a way to identify quality resources
- Establishing a reputation with users
- Providing further functionality to the Instructional Architect
- Establishing better design capacity for career development
- Capitalizing on networking and encouraging interaction with other professionals in the field
- Establishing vetting rules and procedures
Overall the lecture was very worth while.
