RUMORS ABOUT HEARSAY(FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF REDUNDANCY DEPARTMENT)

Ø Todays students are easily bored

Ø External locus of control

Ø Instructor as a motivator has become more central to learning. Seems paradoxical.?

Ø It is about the Instructional Design of your course.

Ø THE KEY IS ACTIVE LEARNING AND STUDENT ENGAGEMENT.

Ø Hi tech?

Ø Low tech?

Ø NO tech?

POSITIVE ENVIRONMENT – LOW HANGING FRUIT IS NOT FORBIDDEN

TECHNOLOGY TO SOLVE LEARNING ISSUES

• Shout out to Clark/Kozma…

• "[...] media are mere vehicles that deliver instruction but do not influence student achievement any more than the truck that delivers our groceries causes changes in our nutrition

• “there is strong evidence that many very different media attributes accomplish the same learning goal” and therefore:“It there is no single media attribute that serves a unique cognitive effect for some learning task, then the attributes must be proxies for some other variables that are instrumental in learning gains”

START SMALL – DON’T BOIL THE OCEAN

• Small changes = big effects

• Use the tech you have as first step

• Canvas Menu – https://canvascustommenu.fleeq.io/a/myj23zxaiw-dc855q0cxb?captions=1

• Virtual discussions – why?

Hello College of Southern Nevada faculty. It's really nice to meet you today. I've heard so much about you, but let me tell you about me. You see, I'm not real. But I sound pretty good, no? I'm just a speech synthesis tool named Polly. I can speak in many voices, accents, and foreign languages. Yes, I am multi lingual, which could come in handy for some of your students. All you do is type in your text, hit a blue button, and I do the rest. Did I mention, I work for free? Check me out on Amazon Web Services. I'll be waiting for you.
