Reading Assignments for CTL5011 Summer 2024
There are a total of five readings and your responses to be posted in the first of the C2C forums. These are "classic" and not recent articles. They stand the test of time and relate well to the concepts in this course. Your reading assignment includes searching out articles that are on similar topics, current and appropriate for this course.
Readings Forum 1: Articles 1,2 and 3
Please keep postings to no more than one screen's worth. A total of two postings expected in this Readings Forum.
For Articles 1, 2, 3: Please read each of these classic articles 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.
Part One: A minimum of one comment on one of these classic articles or a response to a posting by one of your classmates about one of these articles.
Part Two: In another posting please cite and give the link for an article related to the one of the three classic articles - hopefully this is a very current article which you believe to be as good as or better than the article given here. Put the article title in the subject line. This is a separate posting from your other comments.

Choose one paper from a Technology, Colleges & Community Worldwide Online Conference - refereed papers were peer reviewed by an editorial board comprised of international educators with research and practical experience in online instruction and distance education. A double-blind review process was used to evaluate papers according to the paper selection criteria. For peer reviewed papers:
https://tccpapers.coe.hawaii.edu/
TCC Online Paper Proceedings are also searchable and available in the EdITLib (Education and Information Technology) Digital Library (https://learntechlib.org) sponsored by the Association for the Advancement of Computing in Education (AACE).
From 2016, selected papers were published in the International Journal of Educational Media and Technology (IJEMT). IJEMT is published internationally by the Japan Association for Educational Media Study (JAEMS) and the Korean Association for Educational Information and Media (KAEIM).
Read and write a brief review, telling how this paper relates to you and how it might influence your studies and work. Post using the subject line for the date of the conference and author's name.
I have been presenting at this conference since 2002: http://www.astralsite.com/astralsiteprojects.html
5. Chapter from an online book on Constructivism - Reading Assignment With Learning Partner
The 5th 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 C2C 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 C2C for the class to read.
Here's the reading...
