Right Understanding on ONLE instructional strategies

After reviewing your unit proposals, I noticed that many were unclear with ONLE/PLE instructional strategies. Below are a few notes to help you to clarify your understanding to apply right ONLE instructional strategies to support your unit

 

·      When integrating social tagging to support your ONLE, it is necessary to design an effective social tagging architecture toguide your learners to tag their learning resources.  See ETC647 Social Tagging Architecture at: http://etc647.wetpaint.com/page/Tagging+Architecture

·      UGC: It is more than just to have students to create learning content.  We should require other students or future students to apply these content as required or recommended readings; otherwise, it is not learning content.  It would be just learning resources since we do not engage other learners in more interactive learning with these learning content created by the peers. Simply saying that requiring students to apply wiki to create content is considered as weak UGC design.

·      Community-Community Interaction: Generally, it is referred to at least two different communities that have opportunities to interact with one another across time ad space, particularly time.  Typical community-community interaction can be coordinated with UGC to enhance network learning, such as ETC647's Content Development or apply social tagging architecture to share learning resources with future students or using social tagging to share current students' assignment products with future students.

·      Social network linkage: It is more than just using social network sites, such as Facebook, Twitter etc.  The social network linkage actually refers to become friends, follow friends, or become fans etc.  Be sure your social network linkage design has right linkage design (friends, follow, and fan etc.)
