Let’s Get Started…
Four Plus Approach
Keynoters - provide an overview of key points that are important to online learning
Investigators - create open ended questions to ask for more information, clarify or explain the ideas (3 or less)
Illustrators - provide specific examples or applications of the ideas presented in readings
Linkers - show how does the material we are reading links to other areas requiring our attention in distance education
Damian Cooper & Anne Davies
Come together in the large group
Each subgroup briefly present findings.
Keynoters from Groups 1,2 & 3 first, then Investigators and so on.

Chemistry – the flip Lesson
Go to PAVE website Sandbox top left Approach 1 or 2
based on draw
Reflections on “flip lesson”
What was your experience?
How would you change the lesson?
Student Engagement
What is the student perspective?
How to engage the learner?
Student engagement - differentiation
Is humor a lure?
Maybe one lure could be humor in our courses. This is a natural for many in face to face courses but can be a bit trickier at a distance.
Jim would be willing to share several examples

The Challenge
Organize into groups with similar lesson interests
Find a lesson you want to improve or choose a lesson to start new.
Work collaboratively to make this lesson reflect an inquiry approach.
Lesson Creation
Try to incorporate activities that speak to:
assessment FOR learning promotion of student independence student choice & differentiation digital citizenship
“”And where imaginations play, learnings happen.”John Seely Brown
Group Presentations of Inquiry Lessons
Break Time
Three step Interviews
Create groups of 3 – Decide who is A, B, C
Interview 1 A is interviewer B is speaker C is recorder On the signal, switch roles so that each
participant has had each role. At the end, share key points You will be asked to share this with the
group as a whole
Concluding group activity
How can we create a true learn Any Time, Any Where, Any Place, Any Pace environment for all students?
Are distance educators the leaders in creating the learn Any Time, Any Where, Any Place, Any Pace environment?
Afterhours Chat (3:30 PM)
For casual discussion and networking If Distance Education is the answer ... then what is
the question? How do we take the distance .. out of Distance Ed? How do we keep distance education courses
dynamic and changing? What are some creative and interesting ways to
improve student engagement and completion rates?
How do we facilitate continual growth of distance education teachers?
