| Title: | Reflecting, Writing, and Responding: Reasons Students Blog (ID: ELI3010) | | Author(s): | Carie Windham (North Carolina State University) | | Origin: | Contributed by EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative, White Papers (2007) | | Type: | Articles, Papers, and Reports | | Abstract: | Faculty and students are recognizing blogging's learning potential, including the chance to practice writing, reflect on others' thinking, and respond to critical analyses of one's own work. In this paper, a graduate student explores the campus "blogosphere" to discover who is blogging and what they are posting, as well as how faculty are using blogs in their courses and the results they are seeing. | | View this resource: | |

| Title: | Winning Systems: New Ways of Looking at Students and Resources Lead to
Improvements in How We Deliver Education (ID: NLI0354) | | Author(s): | Vicki Suter (EDUCAUSE) | | Origin: | Contributed by EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative (2003) | | Type: | Articles, Papers, and Reports | | Abstract: | Systemic institutional transformation is a key area of NLII research, toward enabling education that is active and learner-centered, dynamic and lifelong, collaborative, cost-effective, high-quality, and accessible. To bring about systemic progress in teaching and learning, a shift in perspective is always necessary. Sometimes that shift is in institutional perspective about where critical activities and resources are, as was the case at Pennsylvania State University (http://www.psu.edu/). Sometimes the shift is in institutional perspective about who the students are, as was the case at Fairleigh Dickinson University (http://www.fdu.edu/), where the student is seen as a global citizen. A summary of NLII resources and activities on Systemic Progress is given. | | View this resource: | |
