WELCOME.
WELCOME TO HUMANIZE ON-LINE LEARNING AND THANK YOU FOR
BEING HERE TODAY WE'RE GOING TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT
FRAMEWORK FOR FACILITATION AND COURSE DESIGN.
HUMANIZING ON-LINE COURSES FOR OUR STUDENTS.
WE DO WANT YOU TO KNOW ALL THE RESOURCES TODAY ARE
ON-LINE AT OUR GOODY BAG AND YOU'LL SEE THAT IN THE FIRST
FEW SLIDES WE SHARE TODAY SO NO NEED TO FURIOUSLY WRITE
DOWN NOTES.
EVERYTHING IS AVAILABLE ON-LINE AND HOPEFULLY YOU'RE
HEARING ME OKAY.
I'LL HOLD THIS IS A LITTLE CLOSER.
SO I'M KATIE PALACIOS, AN INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN
COORDINATOR FOR THE SAN DIEGO COMMUNITY COLLEGE
DISTRICT AND WORKING WITH DOING ON-LINE INSTRUCTOR.
AND HI.
I'M PACANSKY-BROCK TEACHING AND LEARNING INNOVATIONS
SPECIALIST AND I HAVE A LONG HISTORY IN THE COLLEGE
SYSTEM AS PART TIME AND FULL-TIME FACULTY SO I
PROBABLY HAVE MET A LOT OF YOU ON-LINE BUT NOT IN
PERSON SO COME SAY HI IF YOU FALL INTO THAT GROUP.
AS KATIE MENTION AND MINUTE AGO WE HAVE A GOODY BAG WE
PUT TOGETHER WITH ALL OF OUR GOODIES WE'RE GOING TO
SHARE INSIDE OF IT AND YOU'RE WELCOME TO TAKE IT
WITH YOU.
IT'S NOT GOING ANYWHERE.
A LOT OF TIMES PEOPLE SAY IS THAT GOING AWAY TOMORROW AND
IT'S NOT.
BUT WE WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO GO TO THE SITE IF YOU
HAVEN'T YET AND YOU HAVE A DEVICE IT SHOULD RENDER FINE
ON A MOBILE OR LAPTOP BECAUSE WE HAVE ACTIVITY FOR
YOU ON THIS SITE THAT WE'D LIKE TO ENGAGE YOU IN SO THE
URL IS TINY.CC/HUMANIZINGOTC.
THAT LAST PART DOES HAVE TO BE LOWER CASE.
AND WHEN YOU GET THERE THIS IS WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO SEE.
OUR PRESENTATION IS EMBEDDED AT THE TOP BUT IT'S THIS
AREA IN THE LOWER RIGHT CORNER.
CAN YOU RAISE YOUR HAND IF YOU'RE ON THE SITE?
JUST A FEW PEOPLE.
IT'S LOADING.
THAT'S WHAT I WAS AFRAID OF OKAY IF YOU CAN GO DOWN
TO THE LOWER RIGHT CORNER BOX.
I'LL LEAVE THIS UP INSTEAD OF GOING TO THE SITE.
THERE'S A BOX IN THE LOWER RIGHT CORNER HAS A QUESTION
FOR YOU.
HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE BEEN A STUDENT IN AN ON-LINE CLASS?
OKAY SO I THINK THE LARGE MAJORITY ALMOST EVERYONE.
THINK OF YOUR EXPERIENCES AS A STUDENT SO PUT AWAY THE
TEACHING AND GO BACK TO YOURSELF AS A STUDENT IN AN
ON-LINE CLASS AND I WANT YOU IN ONE WORD TO DESCRIBE THAT
EXPERIENCE IN ONE WORD?
TYPE THAT INTO THAT BOX YOU SEE ON THAT PAGE.
THIS IS WHERE THE BOX LOOKS LIKE.
IT'S WORKING.
STUFFS COMING IN.
ANSWERS ARE COMING IN SO IF IT'S NOT WORKING JUST RELOAD
AND TRY.
IN ONE WORD DESCRIBE YOUR EXPERIENCE AS AN ON-LINE
STUDENT.
OKAY WE'RE GOING TO GIVE YOU ABOUT TEN MORE SECONDS
AND THEN TAKE A LOOK AT YOUR RESPONSES.
OKAY SO LET'S TAKE A LOOK AND SEE WHAT PEOPLE SAID
HERE.
SO THIS WORD CLOUD REPRESENTS YOUR ANSWERS.
THE WORDS THAT ARE BIGGER WERE WORDS THAT WERE SHARED
MORE THAN ONE TIME SO THE MOST POPULAR RESPONSE IS THE
WORD LONELY.
I DIDN'T PLANT THAT.
YOU SAID THAT.
I'VE DONE THIS WITH MANY, MANY, MANY GROUPS OVER IN
THE PAST YEAR OR SO, AND THIS IS THE CONSISTENT
THEME.
I HAVE CONFIDENCE SADLY THIS IS WHAT COMES OUT.
AND THIS WHY WE'RE DOING THIS TODAY BECAUSE WE WANT
TO CHANGE THIS AROUND AND AS GREAT ON-LINE TEACHERS THAT
YOU ARE, YOU ARE INTERESTED IN CREATE AN EXPERIENCE FOR
YOUR STUDENTS THAT'S NOT LONELY, RIGHT?
RIGHT.
THANK YOU.
SO LET'S GO BACK OVER HERE.
I'M GOING TO PLAY A VIDEO IN JUST ONE SECOND.
AND IT'S A 30 SECOND VIDEO AND THIS IS A CLIP OF A
STUDENT, AN ON-LINE STUDENT AND WE WANT TO HEAR WHAT HE
HAS TO SAY ABOUT HIS ON-LINE LEARNING EXPERIENCES.
CAN SEE WHEN THE THERE IS NO INTERACTION.
LIKE AUTOMATIC ANNOUNCEMENTS ONLY SHOW UP AT 12 AM ON
SUNDAY YOU KNOW IT'S YOU QUESTION AND GET A RESPONSE
LIKE I JUST - HOW DOES THAT MAKE YOU
FEEL?
NOT SO GOOD, HUH? NOT SUCH A GOOD FEELING AND THE POINT
HERE IS NOT THAT AUTOMATED ANNOUNCEMENTS AREN'T BAD BUT
THE POINT IS IF THAT'S ALL YOU'RE DOING THEN THAT'S NOT
A GOOD THING AND IT'S NOT GOING TO RELAY WHO YOU ARE
AND MAKE YOU PRESENT IN YOUR OWN CLASS, SO I THINK A BIG
PART OF THIS IDEA OF HUMANIZING IS IT'S A LITTLE
BIT OF A MIND SHIFT BECAUSE I KNOW AS TEACHERS,
INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGNERS OR WHATEVER OUR ROLES ARE WE'RE
OFTEN FOCUSED ON SUBJECT MATTER AND DISCIPLINE AND
PUTTING ALL THAT STUFF TOGETHER BUT IT'S REALLY
IMPORTANT TO TAKE A FEW STEPS BACK AND VIEW WHAT
YOU'RE DEVELOPING AS AN EXPERIENCE.
A HUMAN EXPERIENCE.
OKAY?
THE LAST LINE HE SAID IN THAT VIDEO IS WE DON'T CARE
IF YOU MAKE MISTAKES.
THAT'S WHAT HE SAID TO HIS TEACHER.
SO YOU'LL FIND THE GRAPHIC IN OUR GOODY BAG HERE BUT
THIS IS THE TWO-FOLD APPROACH TO HUMANIZING THE
ON-LINE LEARNING EXPERIENCE.
RIGHT?
SO YOU HAVE THE COURSE DESIGN PIECE OF IT DESIGNING
THOSE ASSESSMENTS AND THE ACTIVITIES THAT ARE GOING TO
RELATE TO YOUR STUDENT IN THE CONTEXT THEY'RE AT,
RIGHT?
COLLABORATING AND GETTING THEM TO CONSTRUCT MEETING.
THESE SIX C'S ARE IN THE GOODY BAG BUT THEN THE
FACILITATION PIECE OF THIS PRESENCE, EMPATHY AND
AWARENESS IT'S THE PART - THAT'S THE PART THAT HAPPENS
RIGHT THERE IN THE MOMENT, RIGHT?
THE INTERACTION WITH THE STUDENT AND I THINK IT'S
OFTEN, IT'S COMMON TO FOCUS ON THE COURSE DESIGN PART
AND MAYBE TO SET IT AND FORGET IT.
THE CROCK POT METHODOLOGY OF ON-LINE TEACHING WHERE YOU
KNOW YOU KIND OF LET IT RUN AND THE STUDENTS ARE GETTING
THOSE ANNOUNCEMENTS WITHOUT YOU REALLY BEING PRESENT AND
IT'S OBVIOUS TO THE STUDENTS AS WELL SO WE WANT TO SHARE
WITH YOU TODAY SOME OF OUR PRACTICES FOR PRESENCE,
EMPATHY AND AWARENESS.
WE'RE FOCUSING ON THAT FACILITATION PIECE.
PRESENCE, EMPATHY AND AWARENESS.
SO LET'S FIRST LOOK AT WHAT WE MEAN BY PRESENCE, EMPATHY
AND AWARENESS.
PRESENCE IS, THIS IS IMPERFECT IS PERFECT.
THAT'S WHY I LOVE THAT LAST LINE OF THAT VIDEO BECAUSE
WE TALK ABOUT OUR PRESENCE IN THE ON-LINE CLASSROOM AND
WE THINK ABOUT YEAH I POSTED A WELCOME VIDEO AND I'M
DOING A FEEDBACK FOR STUDENTS BUT I THINK A LOT
OF TIMES WE WORRY ABOUT THAT BEING PERFECT AND HOW THAT
COMES ACROSS TO OUR ON-LINE STUDENTS BUT OUR
IMPERFECTIONS IS WHAT MAKES US HUMAN TO THEM.
THAT'S A GREAT CONNECTION WE CAN MAKE WITH OUR STUDENTS.
I WANT TO ADD ONE THING.
LITTLE STORY.
THIS ACTUALLY CAME OUT OF ONE OF THE CLASSES I WAS
TEACHING.
I USED TO TEACH BUILDING ON-LINE COMMUNITY FOR SOCIAL
MEDIA AND WE ALL CONNECTED VOICE THREADS BACK THEN SO I
COULD HEAR FACULTY TELL STORIES AND ONE MEMBER
SHARED A STORY ABOUT TEACHING ON-LINE AND SENT
FEEDBACK TO A STUDENT THROUGH E-MAIL AND THAT
STUDENT WROTE BACK TO HER AND SAID, OH MY GOSH ALWAYS
THOUGHT MY ON-LINE INSTRUCTORS WERE COMPUTERS
AND THAT'S ALWAYS STUCK WITH ME AND SHARE IT WITH EVERY
GROUP OF FACULTY AND INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGNERS IN
FRONT OF ME BECAUSE THAT'S SO IMPORTANT.
YOU KNOW SOMETIMES WE THINK I'M ALWAYS IN THERE DOING
STUFF, THEY DON'T KNOW THAT.
THAT'S NOT YOU AS A PERSON.
THAT'S NOT YOUR PRESENCE.
SO EMPATHY.
SENSE AND UNDERSTAND EMOTIONS AND COMMUNICATE
THAT UNDERSTANDING, RIGHT?
SO WE'RE TALKING ABOUT BEING APPROACHABLE FOR STUDENTS
AND HOW DO WE COMMUNICATE ON-LINE THAT WE'RE
APPROACHABLE?
HOW DO YOU DO THAT IN THE ON-LINE ENVIRONMENT.
HOW DO YOU LET THEM KNOW WHERE TO GO FOR HELP?
AND SHOW THEM THAT YOUR AVAILABLE FOR SUPPORT.
ALL THOSE THINGS HAVE TO BE INTENTIONAL ON-LINE
OTHERWISE THEY'RE NOT GOING TO SEE OR FEEL IT.
CAN I ADD SOMETHING?
THE WORK OF BERNIE BROWN HAS BEEN BIG IN THIS TOPIC OF
PEOPLE THINK AND SHE REFERS TO TEE THERESA WISEMAN A
NURSE THAT'S RESEARCHED EMPATHY.
THE ABILITY TO SEE THE WORLD AS OTHERS SEE IT TO BE
NONJUDGMENTAL, TO UNDERSTAND ANOTHER PERSON'S FEELINGS
AND TO LET THEM KNOW THAT YOU UNDERSTAND THOSE
FEELINGS.
AND SHE ALSO SAYS EMPATHY IS A SKILL AND IT TAKES
PRACTICE TO REACH OUT FOR EMPATHY AND IT TAKES
PRACTICE TO GIVE EMPATHY AND I THINK ABOUT THAT A LOT.
SO WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT YOUR ONLINE CLASSES, THIS TO ME
IS THE HARDEST THING.
WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THAT LATER WHEN WE GET INTO
PRACTICES ABOUT HOW WE CAN INTEGRATE THIS CONCEPT AND
BE MINDFUL ABOUT BRINGING EMPATHY INTO OUR CLASSES.
AND THEN AWARENESS.
UNDERSTANDING YOUR STUDENTS NEEDS, RIGHT?
FINDING OUT WHO THEY ARE.
IT'S THAT SURVEY YOU'RE POSTING EARLY IN THE
SEMESTER THAT ICE-BREAKING FORUM.
READING THOSE AND FINDING OUT WHERE THEY'RE AT AND
WHAT'S GOING ON IN THEIR LIVES RIGHT NOW.
WHAT'S COMPETING FOR ATTENTION WITH YOUR
STUDENTS, A LOT OF THINGS.
BUT YEAH THAT'S THE KIND OF STUFF THAT HAS TO BE
DESIGNED INTO THE COURSE TO BE ABLE TO ELICIT THAT
INFORMATION EARLY ON TO KNOW WHAT THEIR NEEDS ARE FROM
YOU.
YES, NO?
SHE TOLD ME I COULD JUMP IN.
SO WE'RE GOING TO TALK CONCRETELY ABOUT HOW THESE
THINGS PLAY OUT IN OUR ON-LINE LEARNING EXPERIENCES
AND OUR CLASSES SO PRESENCE, EMPATHY AND AWARENESS.
THAT'S WHERE WE'RE COMING AT THESE FROM.
AND FOR ME I'M A BIG FAN OF VIDEO AND MY FIRST BAPTIST
EXAMPLE IS NOT VIDEO.
MY FIRST IS TEXT.
I'LL READ THE BIG GREEN BOX ON THE RIGHT AND THIS ON MY
CONTACT ME PAGE IN MY CLASS.
THE REQUIRED I WILL GET BACK TO YOU WITHIN 24 HOURS
MESSAGE.
THIS IS HOW I PHRASE IT.
I PROBABLY HAVE MY HANDS FULL OF GROCERIES, KIDS,
PLAYDO OR ALL THE ABOVE. IF 24 HOURS PASSES AND YOU
HAVEN'T HEARD FROM ME, FEEL FREE TO NUDGE ME WITH
ANOTHER MESSAGE.
I'M SHARING A LOT THERE.
I'M SHARING A LITTLE BIT ABOUT MYSELF AND MY PERSONAL
LIFE AND SAYING I'M NOT PERFECT.
I HOPE TO GET BACK TO YOU IN 24 HOURS BUT THAT MIGHT NOT
HAPPEN BECAUSE I HAVE A LOT GOING ON TOO JUST LIKE SOME
OF YOU SO I'M RELATING MY PARENTHOOD CRAZINESS WITH A
LOT OF MY STUDENTS GOING THROUGH THE SAME STUFF SO I
DO THAT INTENTIONALLY.
I SHOUT HOW TO SAY THAT AND SHARE THINGS IN AWAY THAT MY
STUDENTS CAN CONNECT TO IT AND THEY SEE THE HUMAN SIDE
OF ME BUT ALSO THAT I REALLY DO WANT THEM TO COME WITH ME
WITH ANY ISSUES THAT THEY MIGHT HAVE.
OVER HERE, THIS OTHER GREEN BOX.
THIS IS - I DON'T KNOW WHY THIS IS LIKE THE KEY PHRASE
THAT WORKS FOR ME.
MY DEADLINES ARE USUALLY SUNDAY NIGHT SO MONDAY I
NOTICED A STUDENT HAS NOT SUBMITTED THEIR WEEKLY WORK
FROM THE PREVIOUS WORK IN THE SUBJECT LINE THAT
STUDENT WILL GET AN E-MAIL WITH THEIR NAME IN THE
SUBJECT.
JOHNNY YOU KNOW - WHATEVER.
IN THE MESSAGE ITSELF I'LL SAY HEY JOHNNY I NOTICED I
DIDN'T GET YOUR SUBMISSION LAST WEEK, IS EVERYTHING
OKAY? FOR WHATEVER REASON THAT REALLY SEEMS TO GET A
RESPONSE.
IS EVERYTHING OKAY.
IT'S TOTALLY OPEN THEY CAN COME BACK WITH A RESPONSE,
MAYBE SOMETHING IS GOING ON BUT A LOT OF TIMES YEAH I
JUST DIDN'T GET IT IN.
THERE'S A SENSE OF CONCERN AND THAT EMPATHY AND
AWARENESS THAT SEEMS TO REALLY ACHIEVE WITH MY
STUDENTS AND THEN I USE THIS IN AREAS OF THE COURSE THAT
ARE, I KNOW WILL BEACON FUSING TO THEM.
YOU KNOW WHAT THOSE AREAS ARE SO I SAY THIS CAN BEACON
FUSING.
REACH OUT FOR SUPPORT IF YOU NEED IT.
I INTENTIONALLY EXPLICITLY WRITE THAT OUT AND DON'T
ASSUME THEY KNOW THE PARTS THAT AREN'T CONFUSING BUT
THIS IS BEACON FUSING SO REACH OUT FOR SUPPORT IF YOU
NEED IT.
OKAY.
SO THOSE ARE MY LANGUAGE EXAMPLES AND NOW WE'LL MOVE
INTO PICTURE EXAMPLES SO THE VERY FIRST ASSIGNMENT I HAVE
THE STUDENTS DO IS TO SEND ME A FILE SO THEY GET
PRACTICE SUBMITTING A FILE TO ME IN SAYS TELL BUT THE
FILE THEY'RE SENDING TO ME IS A SELFIE AND AS PART OF
THIS ACTIVITY WE'RE CREATING OUR CLASS PICTURE SO WE HAVE
THEM.
I POST THE TEMPLATE SO THEY KNOW WHAT I'M GOING FOR
HERE.
I GOT THE SELFIE TEMPLATE AND THEN THEY'RE, THEY
SUBMIT TO ME THROUGH THE ASSIGNMENT TOOL A J-PEG THAT
I'M COMPILING INTO OUR CLASS PICTURE AND THEN I PUT
MYSELF AT THE BOTTOM.
HERES TO A GREAT SEMESTER TOGETHER.
THIS A FULLY ON-LINE CLASS.
WE'RE NEVER TOGETHER BUT VISUALLY WE'RE ON THE SAME
PAGE AND ALL IN THIS LEARNING EXPERIENCE TOGETHER
SO WE'RE AWARE.
WE'RE PRESENT AND THEY HAVE A LOT OF FUN WITH THIS.
YOU CAN SEE ONLY ONE OF MY STUDENTS DIDN'T SEND ME A
SELFIE AND HE STAYS WITH THE TEMPLATE HEAD.
I SAID TO THE STUDENT I SAID LORENZO WE NEED YOUR PICTURE
WHEN YOU SEND IT TO ME I'LL UPDATE IT BUT I NEVER GOT IT
FROM HIM.
PICTURES GIVE A PERSONAL TOUCH.
HERE'S AND THERE'S SON TONS OF RESOURCES TO FIND GREAT
PICTURES BUT ALSO IN OUR POCKETS WE'VE GOT CAMERAS WE
CAN USE TO TAKE PICTURES OF WHAT'S GOING ON AROUND US
THAT GIVES A PERSONAL TOUCH TO OUR COURSE SO THIS IS
KIND OF A COLLAGE OF DIFFERENT PICTURES I USE IN
DIFFERENT PLACES OF MY COURSE.
I WAS ON CAMPUS WHEN I WAS TEACHING FOR SOUTHWESTERN
THERE WAS THIS COOL - ON THE WHATEVER THAT THING IS
CALLED, JUMBO TRON.
THAT BOARD.
WELCOME STUDENTS WE'RE GLAD YOU ARE HERE.
WE ARE JAGUARS AND I WAS DRIVING BY AND I WAS LIKE I
WANT THAT TO BE FOR MY ON-LINE STUDENTS WE'RE
JAGUARS WE'RE HERE TOO.
WE'RE STILL PART OF THIS COMMUNITY SO I GRABBED THAT
PICTURE AND USED IT AT SOUTHWESTERN.
I LIKE HAVING A PICTURE OF ME HOLDING THE TEXTBOOK.
IT'S NOT JUST THE TEXTBOOK, I'M CONNECTED TO IT.
MY FACE IS NEXT TO IT.
I'M HOLDING IT, IT'S LIKE PART OF THAT TRIANGLE OF THE
TEACHER DISCIPLINE STUDENT THAT WE HEARD ABOUT IN THE
KEYNOTE TODAY.
I'M CONNECTED TO IT TOO.
ANYTIME I ASSIGN SOMETHING IN THE BOOK.
SHE OWNS THE TEXT AND KNOWS WHAT WE'RE GOING THROUGH
HERE.
I HAVE THIS LITTLE SIGNATURE PICTURE THAT I USE IN
DIFFERENT PLACES THROUGHOUT COURSE.
DO SOME EDITING AND REUSE THIS AND I PUT THAT AT THE
BOTTOM OF THE SYLLABUS AND THE BOTTOM OF MY
ANNOUNCEMENTS LIKE A NICE TOUCH THAT'S ME THAT'S A
LITTLE BIT MORE THAN TEXT AND IT'S PRETTY SIMPLE TO DO
ONCE YOU'VE GOT THAT IMAGE AND THEN MY FRUSTRATION
IMAGE SO THIS IS ME PULLING MY HAIR OUT AND I'LL SAY
DON'T PULL YOUR HAIR OUT.
GO HERE FOR SUPPORT AND IT'S ME IN MY CLASS.
THEY SEE MY FACE A LOT IN MY CLASS IN THE IMAGES AND
THESE ARE ALL IMAGES I'VE TAKEN AND NOT TAKEN BUT
THERE'S A LOT WE CAN DO FOR OUR STUDENTS WITH THE CAMERA
JUST WITH PHOTOS AND I THINK THEY WANT TO SEE THAT.
IT GIVES A PERSONAL TOUCH.
WE'RE HUMAN AND HELPS THEM TO SEE THAT.
THIS IS YOU.
OKAY SO FOR A MINUTE I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE
SYLLABUS.
SOMETHING THAT I WOULD TAKE A LEAP TO SAY EVERYONE HAS
FOR THEIR CLASS THESE DAYS AND IF YOU'RE TEACHING
ON-LINE WE SAY THAT SYLLABUS IS SO, SO IMPORTANT WITH ALL
THE STUFF THAT MY STUDENTS NEED TO KNOW AND I TOTALLY
AGREE WITH THAT, RIGHT?
THERE'S A LOT OF CRITICAL INFORMATION THERE BUT I WANT
YOU TO KNOW THAT SYLLABUS IS MORE THAN THAT.
THAT SYLLABUS IS YOUR OFTEN FIRST OPPORTUNITY TO GRAB
YOUR STUDENT'S ATTENTION AND LEAVE YOUR MARK ON THEM.
SO WHAT I STARTED DOING IS USING SOMETHING OTHER THAN A
PDF FOR MY SYLLABUS AND STARTED DESIGNING MY
SYLLABUS AS A DIGITAL SYLLABUS AND THIS WAS MADE
WITH A TOOL COULD POPULAR DOT ME AND THAT LINK IS ON
YOUR RESOURCE SITE.
AND I THINK I ACTUALLY HAVE A LINK TO THE SILL BUSINESS
IF YOU WANT TO CHECK IT OUT ALSO.
IT HAS LOTS OF VISUALS AND A PICTURE FROM THE BOOK COVER.
BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT I WANTED TO SHOW YOU.
IT ALSO IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR ME TO SHARE A QUICK
VIDEO.
A COURSE BUMPER VIDEO I USE WITH A TOOL CALLED ANIMOTO.
[MUSIC]
I'LL BE YOUR INSTRUCTOR. HI THERE.
THIS IS 1860.
YOU KNOW THESE IMAGES WERE NOT FRAGILE.
PEOPLE ARE STILL CARRYING THEM AROUND IN CASES.
SO I'M NOT GOING TO PLAY THE WHOLE THING BUT IT'S A
WAY I PULL IN COURSE OUTCOMES AND ALSO ME TALKING
TO MY STUDENTS AND ASKING SOME FUN QUESTIONS AND
INFUSING A LITTLE BIT OF PERSONALITY AND HAVING THA
TOP SYLLABUS IS A GAME-CHANGER AND THIS IS A
HELLO TO MY STUDENTS.
SO THAT'S SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT.
HOW DO THINGS CHANGE WHEN YOU CREATE WHAT I CALL A
LIQUID SYLLABUS.
IT'S A FUN WAY TO THINK ABOUT IT AND THIS RENDERS
BEAUTIFULLY AND IT'S A PUBLIC WEBSITE SO STUDENTS
CAN BOOKMARK IT RIGHT ON THEIR PHONES.
ALRIGHT.
GOING BACK TO THIS CONCEPT OF AWARENESS SOMETHING I DO
WEEK ONE IN MY CLASS IS WHAT KATIE RE-REFERENCED A QUICK
SURVEY, I USE GOOGLE FORMS AND I THINK THESE ARE THE
MOST POWERFUL AND IMPORTANT QUESTIONS FOR ME TO ASK
STUDENTS BECAUSE I GET SUCH RICH DATA WHAT'S GOING ON
AND HELPS ME BE AWARE OF WHAT'S HAPPENING ON THAT
ON-LINE ENVIRONMENT THAT I CAN'T SEE AND I'M NOT AWARE
OF UNLESS I DIG IN AND TRY TO EXCAVATE THAT.
DESCRIBE HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT THIS CLASS IN ONE WORD?
I GET LARGELY MOST OF THE STUDENTS WILL SAY FINE,
EXCITED.
INTERESTING BUT USUALLY THERE'S A FEW STUDENTS THAT
SAY NERVOUS, ANXIOUS, OVERWHELMED, THOSE ARE THE
STUDENTS THAT ARE IN THE RED ZONE.
THEY'RE THE ONES THAT ARE FREAKING OUT ABOUT WHATEVER
IT MIGHT BE AND NEED YOU AND IF WE DON'T DO THIS WE CAN'T
BECOME AWARE OF WHO THEY ARE AND WHAT I LOVE ABOUT GOOGLE
FORUM IS IT POPULATES THIS INTO A SPREADSHEET I CAN
KEEP AVAILABLE THROUGHOUT THE SEMESTER SO IF WE'RE
GETTING STUDENT THAT'S NOT LOGGING IN I CAN GO TO THAT
SPREADSHEET AND LOOK AT THE PERSON'S RESPONSE TO IS
THERE ANYTHING I SHOULD BE AWARE OF THAT MAY EFFECT
YOUR SUCCESS OR IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE
TO SHARE WITH ME NOW?
I HAVE STUDENTS THAT SAY I'M PREGNANT AND DELIVERING A
BABY IN FOUR WEEKS.
I JUST RETURNED FROM AFGHANISTAN AND I HAVE
SEVERE PTSD.
I HAVE EPILEPSY.
I'M CARING FOR MY MOTHER WHO IS ON LIFE SUPPORT.
ALL OF THAT BECOMES KNOWN TO YOU AND WHEN YOU HAVE THAT
INFORMATION ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE STUDENTS THAT
DON'T LOG IN AS MUCH YOU START TO UNDERSTAND IT IN A
HUMAN CONTEXT AND THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT.
BACK TO YOU.
SO I DO USE A LOT OF VIDEOS WITH MY STUDENTS AS
WELL AND I HAVE MY STUDENTS DO A VIDEO ASSIGNMENT.
SO INFORMATION SYSTEMS.
PEOPLE BEING THE MOST IMPORTANT OF AN INFORMATION
SYSTEM.
MY STUDENTS DO A VIDEO EXPLAINING THE INFORMATION
SYSTEMS THEY USE AND KIND OF JUST SHARED THEIR ROLE IN
THEIR LIFE SO I HAVE, THIS IS A STUDENT DOING ONE OF
THOSE BUT THIS I'M GOING TO YOU'LL SEE I KICK THAT OFF
SO IT'S ME KIND OF WITH HIM.
HI STUDENTS SO FOR THIS ASSIGNMENT ONE OF YOUR
OPTIONS IS TO SUBMIT A SHORT 2-4 MINUTE VIDEO RESPONSE.
SO YOU HAVE THE OPTION AND WE'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT
ABOUT THAT OPTION HERE AS WELL AS SHOW YOU AN EXAMPLE
FROM A PREVIOUS STUDENT.
I WANT YOU TO SEE AN EXAMPLE OF A STUDENT WHO DID THAT IN
PREVIOUS CLASS OF MINE SO THANK YOU AUSTIN, FOR
SHARING THIS EXAMPLE, TAKE A LOOK.
MY NAME IS AUSTIN AND I'M DOING A VIDEO SUBMISSION FOR
WEEK TWO ACTIVITY TALKING ABOUT PEOPLE ON INFORMATION
SYSTEMS.
PERSONALLY FOR ME, I THINK PEOPLE ARE MAIN COMPONENT IN
AN INFORMATION SYSTEM JUST BECAUSE WITHOUT US OPERATING
THE SYSTEM OR CREATING A THE SYSTEM THERE IS NO SYSTEM.
AND WHEN YOU ASK US TO LOOK AT IT FROM A PERSONAL VIEW
AND HOW MUCH WE ARE USING INFORMATION SYSTEM IN A DAY,
I JUST DECIDED TO THINK OF HOW MANY TIMES I'VE USED AN
INFORMATION SYSTEM ON AN AVERAGE DAY.
SO THE FIRST THING IS PHONES, JUST SETTING MY
ALARM IN THE MORNING TO GET UP TO GO TO WORK AND THINGS
LIKE THAT.
I HAVE TO USE INFORMATION SYSTEM AND THERE HAS TO BE A
SYSTEM SET UP INSIDE THE PHONE JUST FOR ME TO CLICK
ON THE APPLICATION TO USE IT'S AN AN ALARM.
THE NEXT THING IS ALSO PUT IT IN PHONES IS USING
PANDORA WHILE I DRIVE.
THAT'S A MUSIC APPLICATION USE DAILY BY A LOT OF
PEOPLE.
ALSO JUST CALLING OR TEXTING PEOPLE IS ANOTHER THING THAT
EVERYONE DOES IN AN INFORMATION SYSTEM.
THEN AT WORK USING A CASH REGISTER ALSO IS BEING
INVOLVED IN INFORMATION SYSTEM BECAUSE USING A
CREDIT CARD IT REALLY JUST IT HAS TO SEND IT THROUGH
THE INTERNET TO WHEREVER IT GOES.
I REALLY DON'T KNOW BUT I KNOW IT GOES SOMEWHERE AND I
KNOW IT AS TO BE A SYSTEM.
THEN AFTER - I KNOW IT GOES SOMEWHERE
I KNOW IT HAS TO BE A SYSTEM.
AFTER WORK WHEN I COME HOME I USE MY COMPUTER A
LOT.
THANK YOU AND I WILL BE BACK FOR MY NEXT ASSIGNMENT.
THAT'S MORE OR LESS WHAT WE'RE GOING FOR.
HE WAS SUCH A FUN STUDENT.
UH-OH.
WHAT DID I DO?
GO BACK TO PRESENT.
THERE WE GO.
SO GETTING STUDENTS TO SHARE THEIR STORIES.
THAT WAS OUR KICK-OFF ASSIGNMENT FOR THE FIRST
COUPLE OF WEEKS AND IT REALLY BROKE THE ICE RIGHT
AWAY WHEN STUDENTS ARE SHARING THAT LEVEL WITH EACH
OTHER.
YOU SEE WHERE HE'S AT.
HE'S HONEST ABOUT IT.
HE WAS REAL EXCITED ABOUT DOING THAT VIDEO.
THE OTHER THING TOO IS CONTENT KICK-OFF VIDEOS.
THIS IS LIKE ON A WEEKLY BASIS WHEN I KICK-OFF
CONTENT I TRY TO BRING IN THE CONTEXT FOR MY STUDENTS.
WHY IS IT WHAT WE'RE LEARNING THIS WEEK, WHY IS
IT GOING TO BE IMPORTANT TO THEM?
HOW WILL IT BENEFIT THEM AND I TRY TO DO THAT IN A WAY
THAT'S VERY PERSONAL AND I SHARED IN THIS PARTICULAR
ONE, I SHARED A STORY.
SO THIS OUR THIRD WEEK OF EXCEL AND THIS WEEK WE'RE
LEARNING A TO NAVIGATE HUGE SPREADSHEETS OF DATA SO THIS
IS THE WEEK THAT REMINDS ME OF THE PROJECT I WAS ON
ACCENTURE WHEN I WAS A LITTLE ANALYST AND HAD TO
SEND A WEEKLY STATUS REPORT TO THE HEAD HONCHO OUR
PROJECT PARTNER I HAD TO SEND EVERY WEEK A
SPREADSHEET FORMATTED JUST SO, AND IT WAS QUITE THE
LEARNING EXPERIENCE FOR ME.
IT MAKES ME A LITTLE ANXIOUS JUST THINKING ABOUT IT, SO
THIS WEEK YOU WILL BE INSERTING WORK SHEETS AND
UPDATING FORM LAST AND USING FIND AND REPLACE.
YOU CAN USE IT IN MICROSOFT WORD AND CAN USE IT IN EXCEL
AS WELL.
WINDOWS YOU CAN ACCESS DIFFERENT PARTS OF SAME
SPREADSHEET AT THE SAME TIME.
FREEZE PANES TO DECIDE HOW MANY COLUMNS ARE FROZEN
WHILE YOU SCROLL THE REST OF THE SPREADSHEET.
GOAL SEEK IS ANOTHER USEFUL TOOL WE'LL LOOK AT THIS
WEEK.
CHECK THAT OUT THIS WEEK AS WE'RE DOING SO, THINK OF
LITTLE ME ON MY FIRST PROJECT AT ACCENTURE BITING
MY NAILS TO DELIVER THAT WEEKLY REPORT TO THE HEAD
HONCHO OF OUR PROJECT.
YOU GUYS WILL BE WAY BETTER PREPARED FOR THAT TASK OR
TASKS SIMILAR TO IT THAN I EVER WAS, THAT'S FOR SURE.
BEST OF LUCK THIS WEEK.
SO I PERSONALIZED IT.
THIS IS EXCEL.
THIS IS EXCEL RIGHT?
IT'S POSSIBLE TO MAKE THIS PERSONAL.
THIS IS MICROSOFT OFFICE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.
EVERY WEEK THERE'S SOMETHING I CAN DO TO CONNECT MY
STUDENTS.
WHERE ARE THEY GOING TO USE THIS?
THAT'S WHAT I TRY TO DO IN THOSE SHORT CONTENT KICK-OFF
VIDEOS.
OOPS.
SO EARLIER WE REFERENCED EMPATHY.
AND EMPATHY IS THE KIND OF SKILL THAT WE ARE NATURALLY
INCLINED TO KIND OF ASSOCIATE WITH A SYNCNESS
ENVIRONMENT.
WHEN SOMEONE IS IN FRONT OF YOU, YOU KNOW WHEN IT'S TIME
TO GIVE EMPATHY.
HOW ARE SOME OF THE WAYS THAT YOU KNOW THAT?
BODY GESTURE.
FACIAL EXPRESSION.
VOICE.
RIGHT?
SO ON-LINE, IF WE'RE NOT USING VOICE IT CAN BE
CHALLENGING THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS I ALWAYS USE
VOICE IN MY ON-LINE CLASSES.
I'M GOING TO SHARE A CLIP FROM AN ICE-BREAKER ACTIVITY
FROM MY HISTORY PHOTOGRAPHY CLASS AND IT'S AN ACTIVITY
WHERE STUDENTS HAVE A CHOICE.
ONE OF THE SIX C'S.
THEY HAVE A CHAISE CHOICE OF PHOTOGRAPHS AND THERE'S
HISTORY OF THE EARTH TAKEN FROM THE MOON AND THERE'S A
PHOTOGRAPH OF THE WRIGHT BROTHERS AIRPLANE LIFTING
OFF THE GROUND AND THE FIRST X RAY AND SOME THAT ARE
EMOTIONAL AND INTENSE.
THEY CAN PICK ANYONE THEY WANT.
THIS STUDENT PICK AND VERY DIFFICULT IMAGE AND SHARED A
STORY THAT WAS QUITE INTENSE.
PICTURE AND I WANTED TO COMMENT ON IT.
IT BRINGS BACK SO MANY MEMORIES.
I USED TO LIVE IN PENNSYLVANIA AND MY SCHOOL
WENT INTO COMPLETE LOCK DOWN UNTIL WE WERE ABLE TO LOCATE
THE PLAIN THAT CRASHED IN THE FIELD.
IT WAS ABOUT TEN MINUTES FROM WHERE WE WERE.
THEY WERE EVENTUALLY ABLE TO PICK US UP FROM SCHOOL AND
TAKE US HOME AND ME AND MY BROTHER WE LAID IN THE FRONT
DOOR ALL DAY BECAUSE THERE WERE FIGHTER JETS FLYING
OVER OUR HOUSE NONSTOP.
WE THOUGHT IT WAS PRETTY COOL.
I WAS 11 AND HE WAS 9 SO WE REALLY DIDN'T UNDERSTAND
WHAT WAS HAPPENING.
NO ONE WOULD LET US WATCH T.V. BUT I SNUCK IN THE BACK
BEDROOM AND THE ONLY THING I SAW WAS THE SECOND TOWER
FALLING.
I THOUGHT IT WAS A MOVIE AT FIRST.
IT STILL - I WASN'T AWARE OF ANYTHING HAPPENING.
I WENT TO SCHOOL THE NEXT DAY AND THERE WAS A COUPLE
OF GIRLS I USED TO HANG OUT WITH AND THEY FOUND OUT THAT
THEIR DADS HAD PASSED AWAY.
ONE WORKED IN ONE TWIN TOWER AND THE OTHER ONE WORKED IN
THE PENTAGON.
SO THAT WAS PRETTY HARD.
I KNOW SOME PEOPLE OBVIOUSLY HAD SIMILAR EXPERIENCES BUT
IT WAS PRETTY HECTIC.
CAITLIN.
I WISH YOU WERE IN FRONT OF ME SO I COULD REACH OUT AND
GIVE YOU A HUG.
I JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING THAT
INCREDIBLY HEARTFELT COMMENT WITH ALL OF US.
YOU KNOW, I'M A REALLY BIG BELIEVER IN LEARNING THROUGH
SHARED EXPERIENCES AND OBVIOUSLY YOU WERE VERY
CLOSE TO THIS TRAGEDY.
SO I GO ON AND ON.
BUT I THINK YOU GET THE POINT THERE.
HOW MUCH VOICE AND IT DOESN'T ALSO HAVE TO BE
VIDEO.
I THINK VOICE CAN DO A LOT MORE THAN TEXT.
DOESN'T MEAN THAT EVERYTHING HAS TO HAVE VOICE OR VIDEO
IN IT BUT THAT VARIETY DOES WONDERS ALSO IN TERMS OF
CHANGING THE WAY YOUR STUDENTS ARE LEARNING.
WE'RE STARTING TO EMBRACE PRINCIPLES OF UNIVERSAL
DESIGN.
I COULD GO OFF ON A WHOLE TANGENT HERE.
BUT WHAT OCCURRED TO ME WHEN I HEARD THAT STUDENT'S
COMMENT WAS WOW.
I REMEMBER SITTING THERE IN FRONT OF MY COMPUTER AND
THINKING WOW.
LIKE IF SHE WAS IN FRONT OF THE CLASSROOM IT WOULD BE
EVERYTHING ABOUT MY BODY GESTURE AND EXPRESSION WOULD
CONVEY HOW I FELT TO HER.
I PROBABLY MORE THAN ANYTHING WOULDN'T SAY MUCH
BECAUSE THERE'S SOMETHING VERY EMPATHETIC ABOUT
SILENCE, RIGHT?
BUT HERE I HAD TO SAY SOMETHING.
BECAUSE HERE SILENCE IS MY LACK OF PRESENCE.
SO I THINK THAT'S JUST SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT.
SO I DO.
I DON'T SHY AWAY FROM ENCOURAGING STUDENTS TO
SHARE EMOTIONAL EXPERIENCES BECAUSE THAT AGAIN GOING
BACK TO BERNIE BROWN SHE SAYS HUMANS ARE WIRED FOR
CONNECTION.
WE ARE WIRED TO CONNECT TO EACH OTHER AND IF WE SHUT
THAT DOWN IN OUR STUDENT'S LEARNING EXPERIENCES WE'RE
REALLY MISSING A LOT AND OUR STUDENTS ARE MISSING OUT ON
A LOT.
SO THIS BRINGS ME TO THIS FABULOUS RESEARCH STUDY I
LEARNED ABOUT I DON'T KNOW A YEAR AGO ON SOMETHING CALLED
NEURAL COUPLING AND I'M OBVIOUSLY NOT A NEURO
SCIENTIST BUT THERE WERE PEOPLE PLACED INSIDE MRI AND
VISUAL RENDERING OF THEIR BRAINS WERE TAKEN AND
THROUGH THESE PICTURES IN MRI MACHINE THEY WERE
LISTENING TO SOMEONE TELL A STORY AS THEIR BRAINS WERE
BEING IMAGED AND AS A PERSON TELL AS STORY, SO THEY
IMAGED THE PERSON'S PLAIN BRAIN THAT TOLD THE STORY
AND THEN THE PERSON THAT WAS LISTENING TO THE STORY AND
DID THIS OVER AND OVER.
IT SHOWS THAT THE LISTENER HAS SIMILAR PARTS OF THEIR
BRAIN EFFECTIVE OR EMOTIONAL PARTS THAT LIGHT UP THAT ARE
ACTIVATED AS THEY LISTEN TO THE PERSON TELLING THE STORY
SO THIS CONCEPT OF STORY TELLING YOU KNOW, THE
STORIES THAT KATIE GAVE EXAMPLES OF SHARING WITH HER
CLASS.
IF YOU CAN GET YOUR STUDENTS TO SHARE THEIR STORIES IT'S
A WAY OF MAKING THESE EMPATHETIC CONNECTIONS WITH
ONE ANOTHER.
THINK ABOUT THAT.
I KNOW THAT'S WHERE IT FALLS UPON YOUR SHOULDERS TO THINK
ABOUT MAKING THAT CONNECTION WITH YOUR DISCIPLINE BUT HEY--
MICROSOFT OFFICE.
THANK YOU.
THIS IS A QUOTE FROM ONE OF MY STUDENTS.
LEARNING OUT LOUD HELPS US GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER AND
IT MAKES US MORE SENSITIVE TO ONE ANOTHER'S OPINIONS
AND THOUGHTS AND WE'RE LIKELY TO BE MORE RESPECTFUL
TO ONE ANOTHER.
THAT'S SOMETHING I'VE SEEN OVER MANY YEARS OF USING
VOICE IN MY CLASS.
ONE LAST PRACTICE IS SOMETHING CALLED THE WISDOM
WALL.
THE WISDOM WALL FIRST WEEK OF ON-LINE CLASS WE KNOW
THAT ANXIETY IS HIGH AND STUDENTS ARE LOOKING AT
THINGS GOING I CAN'T DO THAT AND I REQUIRE MY STUDENTS TO
SPEAK.
THAT'S NOT SOMETHING USUALLY AT LEAST MY STUDENTS TOLD ME
THAT THEY'RE EXPECTED TO DO IN ON-LINE CLASSES AND I
KIND OF THINK IT'S IMPORTANT.
SO I FOUND THAT I COULD TELL MY STUDENTS OVER AND OVER
HOW MUCH I WANTED HEY I'LL BE HERE FOR YOU AND THAT'S
IMPORTANT TO SAY, THOSE THINGS IMPORTANT BUT IF THEY
CAN HEAR FROM OTHER STUDENTS ABOUT WHAT THEIR EXPERIENCES
WERE IN THE CLASS IT CHANGES EVERYTHING.
SO I STARTED WISDOM WALL AND I ASKED MY STUDENTS AT THE
END OF A CLASS TO LEAVE FEEDBACK.
THIS CLASS AT FIRST I WAS LIKE THERE'S TOO MUCH
HOMEWORK AND I DON'T NEED THAT WITH EVERYTHING ELSE I
HAVE TO DO IN MY LIFE AND THEN I FELT EMBARRASSED
AFTER LEARNING THIS AND I HAVE TO GIVE MY OPINION AND
I HAVE AN OPINION BUT I DON'T WANT TO GET IT.
NO ONE IS GOING TO LIKE WHAT I HAVE TO SAY.
THAT'S NOT CASE.
LOOK AT IT AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO EXPRESS YOUR OPINION
WHICH WE DON'T GET THE CHANCE TO DO OFTEN TAKING
CLASSES.
WE CAN CONTRIBUTE IN A CLASS SETTING BUT IT'S VERY
LIMITED, AND THIS CLASS IN PARTICULAR WE HAVE AN
OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK OUR MIND AND SAY WHAT WE WANTED
TO SAY SO YOU KNOW TAKE HEART.
DEFINITELY WON'T BE AS OVERWHELMING IF YOU KEEP UP
WITH YOUR ASSIGNMENTS AND JUST TAKE EACH ASSIGNMENT AS
IT COMES AND DON'T THINK ABOUT THE NEXT ASSIGNMENT.
THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE DOING NOW.
THIS IS NOT STINKY. IT WAS A GOOD TOOL AND FUN WORKING
WITH IT.
I HOPE YOU COULD HEAR THAT.
THE SPEAKERS ARE POINTING THAT WAY SO IT'S HARD FOR ME
TO TELL HOW CLEAR BUT YOU CAN PLAY IT BACK.
THE SLIDE ON YOUR RESOURCE PAGES ARE ALL HOT LINKS SO
THEY WILL PLAY FOR YOU.
THIS IS A GREAT THING TO INTEGRATE IF YOU USE VOICE
OR NOT IT'S MORE POWERFUL IN VOICE BUT I STARTED DO THIS
IN A GOOGLE DOC AND SAID WHAT ARE YOU FEELING.
HOW ARE YOU FEELING AT THE START OF THE CLASS AND WHAT
DO YOU KNOW NOW THAT YOU WISH YOU KNEW THEN AND THEN
THE NEXT CLASS YOU SHARE THAT WITH THE STUDENTS THE
FIRST WEEK SO THE STUDENTS THAT HAVE THAT ANXIETY CAN
LISTEN TO WHAT PREVIOUS STUDENTS HAVE SAID AND IT'S
A GREAT WAY TO TAP IN AND EXPERIENCE SOME OF THE
MAGICAL MOMENTS THAT YOUR STUDENTS GO THROUGH THAT YOU
DON'T EVEN KNOW ARE THERE.
SO THAT BRINGS US TO THE END.
WE HAVE A FEW MINUTES, WE HAVE EIGHT MINUTES LEFT.
WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO DO IS GIVE YOU AN OPPORTUNITY TO
SHARE HOW YOU HUMANIZE YOUR ONLINE CLASS OR SHARE A
STORY MAYBE FROM A CLASS THAT RELATES TO THIS TOPIC?
SO WHY DON'T YOU JUST TAKE A COUPLE OF MINUTES AND GET
INTO GROUPS OF 2-3 AND SHARE?
YES.
ALL YOU GOOD STUDENTS OUT THERE.
JUST QUICK.
JUST QUICKLY.
DOESN'T HAVE TO BE FORMAL.
ALRIGHT.
ONE MORE MINUTE.
OKAY WHY DON'T YOU GO AHEAD AND WRAP UP.
WE'RE BRINGING IT BACK.
TEN, NINE, EIGHT, SEVEN, SIX, FIVE, FOUR, THREE, TWO,
ONE.
SHH...
THAT WAS GOOD.
NICE.
SO WE HAVE ABOUT FIVE MINUTES LEFT AND WE'D LOVE
TO HEAR A COUPLE OF PRACTICES SO RAISE YOUR HAND
IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING YOU WANT TO SHARE?
IN THE BACK.
WE'RE GOING TO GET A MIC TO YOU AND WE'RE WEBCASTING
THIS AND WANT EVERYONE TO HEAR YOUR FABULOUS IDEA.
ONE THING ARE YOU USING VOICE THREAD IS THAT WHAT
I'M SEEING UP THERE AND WE PAY FOR A LICENSE THROUGH
OUR COLLEGE.
HOWEVER ONE OF THE ISSUES KEEPS COMING UP IS
CLOSED-CAPTIONING.
THAT'S NOT A HUMANIZING PRACTICE.
I TOTALLY GET IT, SO I UNDERSTAND.
I HAVE AN ANSWER.
GO TALK TO CAPTION SYNC BUT VOICE THREAD IS
INTEGRATE AND PARTNERSHIP FOR CAPTIONING.
SO VOICE THREAD IS USING CAPTIONING NOW?
IF THE USERS ARE INTEGRATING THAT THIRD PARTY
PARTNER INTO THEIR LICENSE, THEN YOU CAN ADD CAPTION
TOGETHER YOUR CONTENT IN VOICE THREAD.
WHEN YOU SAY USER, THE COLLEGE ADMINISTRATOR
SETTING THAT UP OR THE STUDENT?
IT WOULD BE PART OF WHAT YOU'RE PAYING FOR YOUR
LICENSE.
OKAY.
SO ARE THEY CHARGING YOU MORE FOR THAT?
VOICE THREAD CHARGING YOU MORE FOR THAT?
IT'S NOT SOMETHING YOU PAY, IT'S LIKE IF YOU WANT
YOUR YOU TUBE VIDEOS CAPTIONED YOU PAY FOR THE
CAPTIONING SERVICE NOT YOU TUBE.
IT'S A SEPARATE AMOUNT OF MONEY?
IT'S CAPTION SYNC AND THEY'RE A SERVICE PROVIDER
AND HAVE A BOOTH HERE AT THE CONFERENCE AND YOU CAN ASK
THEM ABOUT IT.
WHO HAS A HUMANIZING PRACTICE TO SHARE?
I CAN TALK TO YOU MORE ABOUT ACCESSIBILITY AND
VOICE THREAD AFTERWARDS.
WE JUST DID A FACULTY INQUIRE GROUP AND ONE OF OR
PARTICIPANTS CREATED A CHEAT SHEET FOR CAPTIONING AND
THERE'S SOMETHING ON-LINE AND REALLY DON'T REMEMBER
THE NAME OF IT BUT IT'S FREE AND APPARENTLY YOU OPEN IT
UP AND YOU PLAY THE VIDEO AND IT ACTUALLY DOES IT FOR
YOU AND YOU JUST CUT AND PASTE.
IT'S REALLY AMAZING.
WHO HAS A HUMANIZING PRACTICE TO SHARE WITH US?
I DO.
I'VE GOT ONE.
SO, THIS IS ON?
OKAY SO I TEACH A MARKETING CLASS AND EVERYONE ONE OF MY
STUDENTS HAS TO COME UP WITH A BUSINESS THAT THEY
PERSONALLY ARE REPRESENTING IF THEY DON'T HAVE A BRICK
AND MORTAR BUSINESS THEY HAVE TO GIVE ADVICE AND IN
MY CLASS EVERYONE USES A SITE CALLED TINY LETTER.COM
THEY HAVE TO SIGN UP AND CREATE A NEWSLETTER AND
SUBSCRIBE TO ONE ANOTHER'S NEWSLETTERS AND ONE OF THEIR
ASSIGNMENTS IS THEY HAVE TO GIVE SOMETHING AWAY FOR FREE
TO THE REST OF THE CLASS.
AND ALL OF THE CLASS.
IT'S A TIMED THING.
BUT AT A CERTAIN POINT OF THE CLASS THEY ALL RECEIVE
E-MAILS FROM ONE ANOTHER BECAUSE THEY HAVE SUBSCRIBED
TO ONE ANOTHER AND THEY GET FREE ADVICE AND A FREE
OFFER.
I HAD ONE STUDENT WHO OWN AS WINERY, SHE DID A RAFFLE
TYPE SITUATION WITH THE CLASS AND SENT SOMEBODY WHO
WAS OVER 21 - SOME WINE.
I THINK THE OTHER OPTION WAS CHOCOLATE, BUT THEY ALL GET
TO NO ONE ANOTHER AND I LIKE THE ADVICE THEY HAND-OUT OR
FAVORITE RECIPES IF THEY REPRESENT A COOKING SITE OR
SOMETHING LIKE THAT BUT THEY HAVE 25 E-MAILS THAT THEY
RECEIVE ON A CERTAIN DAY.
EACH ONE OF THEM TALKING ABOUT SOMETHING PERSONAL
THAT THE STUDENT IS GIVING TO THE REST OF THEIR
CLASSMATES.
LOVE THAT.
A LOT OF THE SIX C'S ARE IN THERE.
HI.
SOME OF YOU MIGHT COME TO MY PRESENTATION TOMORROW AND
I'LL SAY THIS MAYBE AGAIN.
I LIKE BROWN AND BRADSHAW AND SOME OF THE OTHER
PSYCHOLOGISTS REALLY SEEMS TO CONNECT STUDENTS TOGETHER
AND ONE OF THE ADDED FEATURES ALONG WITH THOSE
TWO IS THE MYERS BRIGG ASSESSMENT AND STUDENTS
REALLY GET A KICK OUT OF LEARNING ABOUT THEIR
ASSESSMENTS OR THE FIVE LOVE LANGUAGES BY GARY TOWNSEND,
I CAN'T REMEMBER RIGHT NOW, AND AGAIN THAT DEALS WITH AN
ASSESSMENT AND AGAIN ABOUT THEIR PERSONALITY AND THEY
REALLY START TO INTERACT VERY WELL RIGHT AT THE
BEGINNING OF THE ONSET OF THE CLASS.
MY TEXTBOOK ALSO HAS AN ASSESSMENT LEARNING STYLE
AND THEY GET A KICK OF THAT'S HOW I AM AND THIS IS
REALLY COOL TO LEARN ABOUT MYSELF AND SO THE DISCUSSION
BOARDS IS WHAT REALLY GETS THEM GOING ON THE PERSONAL
LEVEL WITH THAT AND THEN BECAUSE I HAVE THE BRADSHAW
AND THE BRITTANY BROWN, SOME OF THE THINGS I'M DOING WITH
THE NARRATIVE AND INCORPORATING THINGS THE
CLASS GETS PRETTY INTIMATE PRETTY QUICKLY.
WE'RE RIGHT AT 3:00 I BELIEVE.
THANKS FOR COMING EVERYBODY AND THANKS FOR SHARING.
THANK YOU VERY BEING HERE!
