ETC655: Lesson Discussion Updates

By -

Dear ETC655 students,

 

I hope your first a few days of the class were fruitful. It was wonderful to speak to a few of our classmates via phone and Zoom. I presented an update of the ETC655 schedule to the ETC Curriculum Design Committee on Friday as a new "open pedagogy" design. And it is approved. Here are the updates for our course:

 

Lesson Discussions

  • You can select at least one key question at your own volition to respond initially (M-Th). 
  • Total SIX postings minimum for each lesson remain the same.
  • We encourage you to respond to both key questions to optimize your own learning.

 

Lesson 5 (Assignment 3: Network Training Session week) & 6 (Thanksgiving week) Discussions

  • The two-posting periods will be lifted due to the special events in both weeks.
  • Other requirements remain the same.
  • It is still highly encouraged to follow the two-posting periods since based on the research, it facilitates higher level of learner-learner interaction and higher cognitive learning. 

 

The ETC Curriculum Design Committee advised us to conduct a research on such a new design of allowing students to select one of key questions to respond. We will reflect on these practices at the end of class. I will gather the data and report it back to the committee.

 

Let me know if you have any questions. I am looking forward to working with every individual of you.

 

Best Regards,

Chih
