https://padlet.com/deborah_cooke/92l52sh9opzd An application of VoiceThread for large enrolling enrollments at an online unveristy en-us 2016-11-02 21:42:37 UTC 2016-11-22 01:39:16 UTC hello@padlet.com deborah_cooke https://padlet.com/deborah_cooke/92l52sh9opzd/wish/134943469 Because we have such large rolling enrollments (20,000+students currently enrolled in our program), we cannot use social media tools in traditional ways as we don't have resources to monitor the sites nor do we have ways of clearing posts periodically after a certain period of time. We are working on this idea as we understand the high value of peer-to-peer contact and also ongoing dialogue with the course mentors.  For the time being, I am planning to use VoiceThread as an introductory piece at the beginning of a course.  It will afford opportunities for course mentors, former students, SMEs and others to paint a picture of the course and the relevance of the content to real world practice. This will introduce social, cognitive and teaching presence in one exposure.]]> 2016-11-02 21:46:07 UTC https://padlet.com/deborah_cooke/92l52sh9opzd/wish/134943469 deborah_cooke https://padlet.com/deborah_cooke/92l52sh9opzd/wish/134943940 Create a method for large rolling enrollments to experience the value of social, cognitive and teaching presence.

To design a method that is manageable for our existing resources and that provides a continuous seamless environment where privacy and student needs are protected and respected.

To create a learning object that will provide an enriched look at the course through the lens of several contributors and stakeholders.]]> 2016-11-02 21:49:33 UTC https://padlet.com/deborah_cooke/92l52sh9opzd/wish/134943940 deborah_cooke https://padlet.com/deborah_cooke/92l52sh9opzd/wish/134944691 This tool in the way it is designed offers multiple creative uses. For our purposes, we can introduce several individuals who can each speak to the course from several different perspectives: a former student now working in the field, the course mentor , a SME who helped design the course and the instructional designer who was responsible for the design. The tool allows students to see, hear and engage with the content as their learning preference dictates.  The virtual presence of these individuals will deliver a sense of connection, understanding of the course and a delivery of relevance for the future.]]> 2016-11-02 21:55:04 UTC https://padlet.com/deborah_cooke/92l52sh9opzd/wish/134944691 deborah_cooke https://padlet.com/deborah_cooke/92l52sh9opzd/wish/134945192 1." Social media is a platform that can assist nursing faculty to help students gain greater understanding of communication, professionalism, healthcare policy, and ethics."
2."Nurses serve as significant knowledge brokers within healthcare systems, among healthcare disciplines, and with patients, families, and communities (Robert Wood Johnson Foundation [RWJF], 2010; Schmitt & Lilly, in press); therefore, nurse educators are beginning to explore sound methods of application of social media into nursing curricula."
3."As technology is rapidly changing, so is pedagogy within nursing education. Both the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission (NLNAC) and the AACN have revised curriculum standards, encouraging nursing programs to incorporate not only nursing informatics, but technology competencies as well (AACN, 2008; AACN, 2011; NLNAC, 2008)
4.The purpose of using social media tools to facilitate such integration was to emphasize professional communication; better improve student comprehension and use of technology beyond electronic medical records (EMR) and personal computer word processing programs; and enhance student networking and collaboration with other nurses globally."

B. Get buy in from leadership
C.  Organize course mentors, IDs, SMEs, and former students working in the field to make a collaborative VT with video input]]> 2016-11-02 21:59:36 UTC https://padlet.com/deborah_cooke/92l52sh9opzd/wish/134945308 deborah_cooke https://padlet.com/deborah_cooke/92l52sh9opzd/wish/135937768 As an alternative idea, an Animoto video could be used with the same intention as the VoiceThread learning object. The disadvantage in using this tool is that it lacks audio features for each speaker.]]> 2016-11-07 20:41:21 UTC https://padlet.com/deborah_cooke/92l52sh9opzd/wish/135937768 deborah_cooke https://padlet.com/deborah_cooke/92l52sh9opzd/wish/135938175 This VoiceThread will be used as part of the welcome and introduction to the course.  We will have  four contributors:
a. Course Mentor - Discusses expectations for the student and the levels of support that are available in the course
b. Subject Matter Expert - Discusses the content and importance of the content for real-world applicability
c. Graduated student working in the field - Discusses how the course is directly tied to job relevance and performance
d. Instructional Designer of the course - Discusses a bit about the course design and a few features

Each individual will provide a short video and slide as their part of the collaborative VoiceThread. 

The student will gain from the social, cognitive and teaching presence delivered in one feature.

Here is a sample of the design of this activity. It is preferable for each 'character' to make a video rather than an audio presented here: https://voicethread.com/share/8471151/]]> 2016-11-07 20:43:00 UTC https://padlet.com/deborah_cooke/92l52sh9opzd/wish/135938175 holtkar https://padlet.com/deborah_cooke/92l52sh9opzd/wish/139244193 2016-11-22 01:39:16 UTC https://padlet.com/deborah_cooke/92l52sh9opzd/wish/139244193
