| Title: | Expanding Cyber Communities (ID: ELI0603) | | Author(s): | Cathy N. Davidson (Duke University) | | Origin: | Presented at ELI Meetings (01/30/2006) | | Type: | Presentations/Speeches | | Abstract: | Information technologies provide us with tools to work together at greater distances and with more partners than ever before. But have we changed the intellectual communities in which we work?

Mapping the Learning Space
| Title: | Mapping the Learning Space (ID: NLI0309) | | Author(s): | Colleen Carmean (Arizona State University West), Flora McMartin, and Ray C. Purdom (University of North Carolina at Greensboro) | | Origin: | Presented at ELI Meetings (2003) | | Type: | Presentations/Speeches | | Abstract: | MERLOT and NLII are working collaboratively to explore and categorize emerging issues in teaching and learning online. The possibility of building a portal that guides faculty, faculty development officers, and instructional designers to rich, Web-based resources demands a new, accessible subject categorization of the field. MERLOT and NLII are now working on this mapping of topics, definitions, and materials. MERLOT's faculty development initiative, MERLOT TWO (Teaching Well Online), and NLII's research of effective learner-centered practices have created some interesting results. The panel will share these results with the audience and ask for input on refinement, next steps, and perceived bumps in the road ahead. | | View this resource: | |
