| Description |
The emergence of podcast/vodcast (p/vodcast) has penetrated various facets of mass communication. From audio blogs, to radio to Internet talk shows and education, this subscription-based delivery method has become a popular form of asynchronous content delivery. This session will focus on the various forms of p/vodcasting in a couple of classroom environments. The goal is to discover the students’ preferences of the p/vodcast derivatives as they relate to quality and effectiveness. These characteristics will be based on the analysis of computer server usage log data, student survey data, and the comparison of grade data from previous semesters. |

| Description |
We will describe a critical thinking strategy that cna facilitate the study of instructional design theory and practices. This strategy, which can be used in conjunction with other critical thinking approaches, emphasizes the examination of assumptions that underlie the everyday activitiees of instructional designers, implications of those assumptions, and alternatives assumptions and implications. This strategy can facilitate the understanding, evaluation, and possibly revision of existing practices. We will explain how this strategy works, provide examples of it in use, and offer materials that can facilitate its application. |

| Description |
Teachers as interpretive curricular enactors have complex cognition. In the context of profeesional development interventions involving innovative curricula, design-based research (DBR) offers facilitators a practical collaborative tool to capture the complexities of teachers’ evolving pedagogical models as well as supporting teachers’ learning, following an agenda that links theory with practice. This presentation reflects on the lessons learned from a grant project and proposes a design experiment in the light of the DBR principles and challenges. |

| Description |
Researchers and practitioners need to know how people from different cultures communicate in online courses in order to design environments that serve the needs of these diverse students. This case study of a graduate level online course analyzed the online communication to identify the discourse indicators that would point to the creation of a polycentric or third culture among the students and the instructor. The design features that may have facilitated the emergence of this polycentric/third culture are discussed. |

| Description |
This session details how one intermediate school teacher reconfigured a unit integrating language, art, and science to incorporate technology. Using Moon Journals: Writing, Art, and Inquiry Through Focused Nature Study by Joni Chancer and Gina Rester-Zodrow as the foundation, this teacher adapted the text to infuse technology into each of the lessons, activities, and student products. The presenters explain the moon journal concept and how to integrate technology and content standards using those concepts. |

This presentation will share the design, rationale, and prototype of an analogical encoding tool for use in problem-based learning and game environments. Research on analogical encoding (i.e. learning by comparing two cases) suggests that teaching students to compare cases side-by-side improves knowledge acquisition and transfer. Analogical encoding aids students in attending to the deep underlying structures (i.e. principles) of cases thereby reducing potential distraction of surface features. |

In this presentation, a new taxonomy of meaningful learning is demonstrated. The taxonomy is built from the perspective that problem solving is the most authentic and purposeful learning outcome. Because of this, problem solving is placed at the top of this new taxonomy and analogical and causal reasoning are presented as co-requisites. Implications for designers will be discussed. |

Successful web-based video represents decisions made by the producers, videographers, editors, compressors, application developers, and web designers based on a complex set of choices. To put video on your website, some decisions may be made for you, some may be based on your own practice and on exemplar sites, and some might be wild guesses. This interactive presentation will discuss some guidelines for critical decisions about preproduction, shooting, editing, and preparing archived, web-based video presentations.

The Preparing Tomorrow’s Teacher to Use Technology (PT3) initiative provided millions of dollars to transform pre-service teachers’ experiences with technology in both their technology courses and field experiences (USDoE, 2004). The researchers have recently completed a critical analysis of PT3 projects in this area. This session will allow both the presenters and the audience to share and comment on the findings of the critical synthesis, the influence of these PT3 projects on teacher education and implications for further research. |
