Just a quick note to let you know that if you are planning on graduating in May 2014, you will need to get your graduation application submitted soon.   Here's the deal...applications for graduation for spring 2014 are due on December 1st.    BUT that is if you want to attend Commencement AND have your name in the Commencement Program.    If you miss the deadline, you can still come to commencement and walk across the stage AND have your name read, but your name won't be listed in the program.   THIS IS IMPORTANT: Even if you miss the deadline AND aren't planning on attending commencement, you still need to submit a graduation application.  Here is the reason...submitting the graduation application begins the process of having your degree post to your transcript.  In other words, your degree won't post, just  because you complete your course work -- you must submit a graduation application.   Here's how you submit...

Thanks for your active contributions in Lesson 1 discussion!   We had good interactions in our discussions in the topics of Connectivism, ONLE, & PLE. Here are some reflections to share with you to help you to enhance your further learning: 1.      Lesson 1 discussion feedback & grade posted. See your e-mail for the details. If you have any questions, contact me within two days; otherwise, it is assumed you agree with the received grade. 2.      Connectivism, PLE, and ONLE are new learning theory, new learning paradigm, and new learning environments.   From epistemology and ontology aspects, it seems that they are effective to human learning; however, different generations perceive new digital media differently.   Taking previous learning paradigms to examine and to frame new ones, it is hard to understand why younger generations learn differently.   Are new digital media (Web 2.0) just tools or they a...
