For the spring and summer sessions, because the twelve week course is packed into six short weeks, here are the readings ahead of time.
Reading Assignments for CTL1799 Summer 2011
There are a total of five readings and your responses are to be posted in C2C forums. These are not recent articles but they seem to stand the test of time and relate well to the course. Please feel free to suggest other articles the class may find of interest.
Readings Forum 1: Articles 1,2 and 3
For Articles 1, 2, 3 Please read each article and be prepared to discuss one of them in this Forum, using the last name of the author in the subject line so we can keep up with which article is being discussed. A minimum of one review of an article and one response to another posting by one of your classmates about one other article.
Please keep postings to no more than one screen's worth. In addition to your review, please cite and give the link for another article related to the one you have reviewed - hopefully this is a very current article which you believe to be as good as or better than the article given here that you chose to review.

5. Chapter from an online book on Constructivism - Reading Assignment With Learning Partner
The 6th reading is a shared reading with your learning partner. The resulting discussion takes place in a chat and the chat log is posted along with an introduction to the chat and a summary or conclusion.
You and your learning partner
are both going to agree as to what course you might design together using
the constructivist approach. After
reading the chapter, you'll
come together to chat and discuss the questions at the end of the chapter
as if you were designing this course. While you will use the partner's
discussion board and file exchange in BlackBoard as you develop your posting,
part of the assignment involves a chat. and I suggest you use the online
Chat in First Class (your OISENet account) to discuss. Save your log. When
you are done, the two of you can create an introduction and a summary or
conclusion to go with this log which you will then post to the appropriate
View in Web KF for the class to read.
