Attending the Commencement on May 10?

Image
Many of our classmates are graduating this semester since this is your last semester.  Do you plan to attend the graduation ceremony? NAU does a great job on the graduation. I always say that there are a few special moments in our life.  I think the graduation for our master degree is one of those.   <b>Can I attend the commencement if I plan to graduate in summer?</b> Yes, you still can attend the spring commencement.  NAU doesn't host a summer commencement.   <b>What can I expect at the commencement?</b> You will have a chance to walk across the stage and your name will be called unless NAU does differently this year.  Being with NAU for more than 15 years, NAU always call graduate/master students' names. <b> Graduation Booklet</b> If you apply for your graduation application before the deadline, your name should be listed in the commencement booklet. Be sure to get one.  If you couldn't atte...

ETC655 Gamify Course Evaluation

Image
ETC655 Course Evaluation is open now. I would like us to experience gamification, one of the key questions in Lesson 4.   On top of 1 bonus point, if the return rate reaches to 85% , ALL students receive an additional 0.125 point , even the ones do not participate.   If it reaches to 95 %, an additional 0.125 point will be added to ALL students.   Why we are doing so? This is part of an "open pedagogy" design in ETC655 that was suggested by previous ETC655 students.  In fact, many current ETC655 course designs were suggested by previous students.   It let us to obtain better understanding on the designs of gamification and in using gamification to support collaboration to build effective class networks and community.   Currently, we reach to:

ETC655: Instructor’s Notes: Reflections on Lesson 5 Discussions

Due to the Assignment 3 Network Training Sessions, I noticed many of you were not as active and interactive as your normal performances.  I hope you will continue your good work in contributing to our network community. Three more weeks to go.   As usual, below are my reflections on each key discussion question to share with you and to advance your critical thinking and learning.   <b>L5-KEY-1-ONLE Model-Instructor's Reflection </b> I hope you have better idea in how to design ONLE with PLE to enhance network learning.   I encourage you to apply ONLE model when you plan to design ONLE/PLE.  Ask yourself, what linkage(s) would be effective to support your teaching and design. Remember, to reach effective network design, we do not need to apply ALL linkages.  We need to be able to choose the linkages that are relevant and effective to our teaching and design goals.   I create ONLE model as part of my 2014 book ...
