Instructional Intentions and the Realities of Practice: Faculty Perspectives of Learning on the Web Learning Technology Research Group Center for Teaching Excellence Virginia Commonwealth University …

Web 2.0 technologies are implemented with intentions of enriching the teaching and learning experience. With their adoption comes a set of implied pedagogical practices that are often imperfectly understood by faculty as well as learners: the realities of practice differ considerably from intended use.

A few of our classroom vignettes..

Dr. Reardon’s embedded video

Ning Closed network Transferred learning from other SNS when participating in blogs, discussion board, chat, and photos Facilitates communication between students and instructor and student to student Will community be maintained and/or expanded?

VCU AT Blog Began in summer of 2006 to reach practitioners/educators in southern regions of Virginia Grew quickly to a recognized national blog on AT best practices Viewed by many in the AT field as a #1 AT resource Reached our 1000 th post 11/20/09 Supported by 5 colleagues who post weekly to this blog – supporting a post each day Offers information on best practices in the field

“Technology Tuesdays” wiki – Supports Technology Tuesdays training series – A collaborative space to chronicle resources, presentation materials, participant comments – A place to link from another organization webspace or link to other resources – An ongoing and collaborative digital repository of tools, resources and best practices

Graduate Course: Universal Design for Learning (GWU) Course blog used as a container for daily reflective blog post assignments Student blogs offer personal digital space to offer reflections on course discussions/questions Course wiki offered as collaborative area to share Step-by-step instructions provided to scaffold student learning on “how-to” use a blog/wiki

Blogging as Reflective Practice Designed an instructor blog to model the process Experimented with requirements Self-determined reflection Reflection on specific assignments Groups of blog buddies Realizations Without requirements to do so, students did not engage by reading others’ blogs, nor did they make comments Most effective was required blog buddy system of exchanging comments

Collaborative learning in a class wiki in lieu of LMS - posted assignments - team projects Students reluctant to use features enabling collaborative authoring

1.How are the implied practices that are built into Web 2.0 technologies reshaping ideas about teaching and learning? 2.What Web 2.0 practices do faculty members identify as having the greatest potential for enhancing learning? 3.How are learners adapting to classroom environments that require them to collaborate, create, and share in new ways? (barriers, challenges, enhancers) 4.What are the realities of practice for faculty as they begin to use Web 2.0 technologies in creating collaborative learning environments? 5.How are you assisting learners to adapt to Web 2.0 technologies? 6.How do use of Web 2.0 technologies add value to the student experience? How can we best facilitate and add value with these digital media tools?

Summarizing Our Thoughts What do we see as the challenges? What is the consensus perspective? Is it truly a community if you are required to participate in it?
