Blended Spaces, Work-Based Learning And The Notion Of Constructive Alignment : Impacts On Student Engagement, Peter Reaburn, Nona Muldoon, Cheryl Bookallil

This study examined students’ active engagement in the context of aligned curriculum and instruction. In conjunction with Biggs’ (2003) notion of constructive alignment, the ten principles of engagement suggested by Krause (2005) informed the redesign of an undergraduate course, which was delivered fully online and had a work-based learning component. The results of the present study strongly suggest that the course redesign has lead to significantly increased student engagement and achievement of higher order outcomes. Statistical analyses using Student t-tests revealed highly significant increases (p=0.002) in student engagement as measured by the average total ‘hits per student’ on learning resources, …

What are libraries doing about collecting and managing user-generated content? In an era of globalisation we increasingly value the unique and the locally grown over the mass-produced, high food miles equivalent. At the growers' market we carefully select ingredients despite the odd shapes, unpredictable quantities and without accompanying metadata about ingredients, nutritional value and use-by dates. However, it seems that teacher librarians are slow to apply the same philosophy when they select resources for their libraries. Instead of relishing the variety, freshness and freedom of open, user-generated content, they are restricting library users to a diet of commercial content and …

Sustaining Social Networks In Education, Pru Mitchell

This paper draws on experience in innovation projects at Education.au in the past two years considering how social networking might enhance professional learning for educators. The resulting service (me.edu.au) aims to put the individual rather than the institution at the centre of learning, and to provide individual educators with support as they step into Web 2.0. While professional learning and collaborative knowledge construction are desirable goals of professional social networking, this case study outlines challenges faced through the Innovate – Collaborate – Sustain phases of such projects. It provides an evaluation of Education.au’s online professional networking project using the 5-stage …
