Recent research demonstrates the capacity of video technology to capture teaching practice to support teacher professional development (Stigler, 1999; Pea, 2004; Sherin, 2005). The goal of this paper is to introduce how new methodologies are being merged with emerging video technology to further our understanding about how pre-service teacher professional development is influenced by the view of video. The intent is to delineate the methods and tools we develop as support mechanisms for continuous growth and how they influence pre-service teacher self assessment of classroom practices. The research results inform the future design of evidence-based methods and tools utilized for self assessment. |

Storytelling possesses great potential as a tool for facilitating knowledge management. However, little has been done to synthesize related research and literature to maximize its potential. Research questions to be answered include: What is knowledge management? Why does storytelling facilitate knowledge management? And, how can storytelling be applied to uncover tacit knowledge? Examples of success stories of storytelling in knowledge management will be provided and recommendations for future research will be given. |

| 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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |
