"Most professors agree that more work goes into designing an online course than a face-to-face one. But if those professors are interested in improving their teaching skills, it might be worth the extra effort.

So say researchers at Purdue University at Calumet, who believe that learning how to do distance education properly can make professors better at designing and administering their classroom-based courses."

Martin Weller has posted his draft paper for comments, which will be integrated into the print version. A great idea for engaging the network and sharing informally while working toward a formal artifact. It's lengthy, but at a quick glance wortwhile. Check it out. Leave comments. Plenty to chew on here!

I'd be remiss not to link to this, the webby version of a loosely conglomerated article by Brian Lamb and Jim Groom. With no disrespect AT ALL to these two-- who I admire and are way above my level-- it demonstrates the space I'm in that I read this and thought... meh. The examples are good and I don't disagree with the ideas, but in general all of this stuff just feels so anemic to me: disjointed, disconnected, and lacking significant depth as an enterprise... I just don't see how things like this help when they blithely dismiss large categories of activity, giving ammo to those who believe that educational technologists flog their hobby horses to distraction (Web 2, clickers, etc). I reiterate: I'm not slagging on Brian or Jim, I include everything I've ever done with education and tech the same response right now.

At its heart, the Open Habitat project set out to explore how Multi User Virtual Environments (MUVEs) can be used in Higher Education. We collected an enormous amount of data working with art and design, and philosophy students. The data was collected from different sources, including surveys, blogposts and chatlogs, and the website reflects this diversity.

Professor Van Winkle of MIT emerges from years of slumber to give the stump speech many of us have been giving for a long time. We're saved! Gotta love how he helpfully defines 'ontology' in the very first sentence.
