Week 35: Terry Anderson

Live Session Today

This is the last week of the Change11 course and we are pleased to welcome Terry Anderson. Our live session is TODAY.

This week's live online session with Terry Anderson on Change in formal education systems, Wednesday May 9 at 2:00 p.m. Eastern (Check your time zone) The session will be held here in Blackboard Collaborate.

We will focus on change in formal education systems by talking about two issues:

1. Interaction - The various types and methods by which interaction is supported in formal education, especially student-student, student-content and student-teacher interactions. We look especially at the capacity to substitute one form of interaction for another based on funding, time subject and context. As background reading please read:

• Anderson, T. (2003). Getting the mix right: An updated and theoretical rational for interaction. International Review of Research in Open and Distance learning, 4(2).  Retrieved Dec. 2007 from http://www.irrodl.org/index.php/irrodl/article/view/149/708.  This older articles provides theoretical rationale for interaction substitution.
• The second reading is Miyazoe, M., & Anderson, T. (2010). The interaction equivalency theorem. Journal of Interactive Online Learning, 9(2).  http://www.ncolr.org/jiol/issues/getfile.cfm?volID=9&IssueID=29&ArticleID=146.  This paper updates the 'equivalency theorem " and overviews  recent research based on this theory.  
• You may also wish to visit the site at http://equivalencytheorem.info/  for more background and links to these ideas

2. Finally, the presentation will look at the various challenges associated with outsourcing and/or decoupling some of the many services (including interaction options) that define typical "full meal deal" higher education institutions  of the current and traditional higher education  model. week35
