And so it begins…first day of classes 2012!

Very excited to kick off this semester. I will be teaching instructional technology for educators (2 sections to undergraduates), Online course design, development, and teaching, Colloquium, and finally graduate student projects.

The course I am most excited about this semester (I am excited about all of them) is my online course design class. In this course I am going to be doing some very exciting things. Besides going over topics like online best teaching practices and such, students will be designing their own courses using Moodle. I will have each student purchase their own web address and teach them how to install/setup their own Moodle course. Additionally, in this course, the students will form groups and each write a topic paper on online learning. I will then take each groups’ topic paper and put it into a free opensource reference guide or book for all to use.

Well here’s to another good semester!
