The semester has started and most of the EDU645 students are working on the course orientation activities. A few have already finished the orientation activities and have started on the essential readings for Topic 1.
One of the activities is for students to set-up their own blog where they will reflect on the unit readings during the semester. Students were directed to the blog page on the Technology Toolbox for Educators website so that they could select their preferred blog technology and learn about blogging. You can find links to the student blogs in the blogroll on the right-hand side of this blog. I invite all educators to comment on the student blogs once they start posting, which should be next week :)
A couple have not accessed the LMS at all yet, but this is not unusual. This unit is delivered in an online mode only and this mode of study is quite unfamiliar to some students. The authentic delivery approach we are using for this unit is also unfamiliar for most students so it usually takes a little time for students to settle into the course.
The AoCoL is a guided learning approach that encourages life-long learning and assists students to develop their self-directed learning skills. If you are interested you can read more about the AoCoL model and design principles that underpin this course on my research website.
