In this Instructor's Notes, I share the common feedback for the Assignment 2: Analysis of Pedagogy InfoDoc, Lesson 2 discussions to advance your learning, and Lesson journal. Read them carefully. I will continue to post the "Instructor's Notes" regularly to guide you throughout the class. I have higher expectations on your learning performances than in ETC645 since this is the most advanced course in the ETC curriculum. I know you can accomplish it.   Assignment 2: Analysis of Pedagogy InfoDoc Take a close look at the template. Start gathering your ideas, and resources. It is a labor-intensive assignment.   Assignment 3: Open Network Technology Training Prepare ahead for the training session. It is a "real-time" PD. Planning, and executing are crucial. Watch previous students' sessions to gather ideas. For those of you who have multiple partners, seamless collaboration is needed. Static presentation, or show & tell are no...

I would approach this question in this fashion. Ask yourself, how much information do you need from this bibliometric analysis to guide your design and development of your Pedagogy InfoDocs? Let's say if you have 20 connections/subtopics. Are you satisfied with the results? If you are, how will you coordinate these 20 subtopics into your InfoDocs. Include all 20? If not, how many and what are they? If these 20 do not satisfy your needs, update the criteria and conduct new analyses. Your final bibliometric analysis and the graphs need not show exactly the numbers of subtopics that you will incorporate into the InfoDoc. Analysis and graphs are resources for you to learn these subtopics and how they relate to your selected topic. The entire bibliometric analysis and graph are ongoing processes. Throughout the InfoDocs writing process, we may need to constantly conduct new or modified analysis and graphs.  

Q: My graphs of the bibliometric analysis showed too much or too little information. What should I do?   A: It could be the criteria we set up on Scopus AND "Choose Threshold" too narrow or too broad.  On Scopus, we can expand or narrow our search for journal articles to others or vice versa. For the Threshold, increase or decrease the numbers which should display more or less connections in the graphs.    We may need to adjust these criteria a few times to optimize our results to meet our goals for our Pedagogy InfoDocs.      

(Same message posted to course twitter & discussion notes)   Here are the instructor's notes #1 for Lesson 2. Read them carefully to enrich your learning. It's long but you may find them relevant to your learning experiences.   Lesson 1 Journal Entry I relished reading all your first journal entries. Many of them were very reflective and informative. I am very proud of those who take time to complete your journal entries. Yes, I do respond to all your journal entries. I will do so for all upcoming journal entries because I value the dialogues that we carried. In 7 ½ weeks, the instruction progresses rapidly. We often overlook the importance of reflecting on our learning. In ETC655, we focus on "Connectivism" and "Open Network Learning Environment" that require us to reflect our learning constantly to just-in-time learning adjustment. I know several of you may have said I wrote more than you put in. Yes, I believe engaging such...
