Anorexia as Traumatic Re-enactment.
Podcast.

This podcast discusses an article by Lucy Howarth, published in the European Eating Disorders Review in which the author describes a case study of an anorexic named Annemarie. In therapy, connections were made between her current behavior (self-starvation) and the abuse (verbal and physical and sexual) she suffered as a child.

Leadership and the E-Learning Organization et Arrivee!
Topic: Leadership in E-Learning
Podcast.

The book is here!!

Leadership and the e-Learning Organization



It's here!!!! I'm thrilled. Yes, it's rough, and all I have are uncorrected publisher's proofs, which make great review copies (despite the rough edges). It's a compilation of more than 50 articles, most of which appeared in earlier forms in edublogs, ejournals, and here. I have updated them and placed them in categories that correspond to elements in the e-learning organization that can be useful to everyone struggling with growth, change, and development in online and distant learning.

If you are a library, I will send you a complimentary review copy, particularly if you think you may wish to order a copy once the final version is out.

Please e-mail me if you'd like a review copy or more information.

Guide to Emily Hahn: Journalist, Engineer, Expert on China
Topic: Instructional Activities
Podcast

Hahn, Emily. “B.Sc.,” No Hurry to Get Home. 56-69.

In this autobiographical chapter, Hahn describes what it was like to be the first woman to be a mining engineering student at the University of Wisconsin. Hahn, who was annoyed at her family’s insistence that she go to college rather than study art, explains that, in retrospect, she should have enrolled in Letters and Science, but chose mining engineering instead. It was an unusual choice in 1924. She claims it was an accident, but after reading her work, the reader wonders if that was the case. Hahn certainly loves a challenge.

Reading Emma Goldman: A Guide for Online Learning
Topic: Instructional Activities

Podcast
The death of actress Maureen Stapleton, who won an Oscar for her portrayal in the movie, Reds, of the energetic and unforgettable activist Emma Goldman, reminds us how influential memoirs can be for students at all levels. Not only does one gain an appreciation of their contribution, it is possible to examine the mindset of an individual who acted as an agent for change. Whether one agrees with her strategies and tactics, or her politics is not really the point. The main issue for e-learners is engagement. The stories of real people are unforgettable. The following is a companion for reading and studying Emma Goldman.

Electronic Notebook: Indispensable for the Online Course.
Topic: Instructional Activities
podcast.

One of the most valuable assignments for an online course is the electronic research notebook. It can be used in any course, but is particularly useful in writing courses that prepare individuals for academic research and scholarly discourse production (essays, papers, capstones, essay tests, and a thesis). The electronic research notebook is, in essence, an annotated bibliography. The students can build and store an electronic notebook on a notebook computer, but this refers to something else. The electronic research notebook is the place where one records the results of research, and summarizes the important aspects of papers, books, and articles one has found as they relate to your research project.

Smartphone Science Class
Topic: New Technologies
Podcast.

Taking a course on a smartphone? It's not as far-fetched as it may seem. In fact, K-12 schools have been utilizing mobile devices for several years now to take photos, collect information, and then instant-message classmates, or post to discussion boards. However, the practice can certainly be expanded to be incorporated in home school distance education courses, or college-level courses. Communication can take place through phone, e-mail, and instant messenger, as well as via the web. The smartphone's media player functionality can be used for movie clips and mp3s, while the photo capabilities can be used to collect, record, and share data. It even contains an FM radio, so students can listen to radio programs. Finally, photos and logs can be shared through blog or Flickr.

Monetizing Websites As a Service; Opportunities in E-Learning
Podcast.

Despite the fervor about "monetized" domain names that consist of little else but links to ads, don't be deceived. That's not the best way to make money with your affiliate programs. The best way, at least at this point, still involves traffic -- traffic you've generated from the quality and intrinsic value of your site. Don't alienate your hard-earned traffic by surrounding them with distracting, chaotic banners, chicklets, and text links. Instead, use the tips below to carefully craft a plan that will optimize click-throughs and conversions to commission-bearing sales.

Hype? Fact? Helping Online Students Evaluate Websites
Topic: Instructional Activities
Podcast.

Developing the ability to distinguish website hype from reality is a critical skill, but one that tends to be overlooked in online courses. This article models how to develop writing assignments that give students an opportunity to examine websites' claims made about products, the use of logic, and the nature of the "evidence" used to support the claims. It also gives students a chance to look at two sides of the story, and to examine evidence through lenses colored by presuppositions, assumptions, beliefs, and values.
