Online civility

As we begin creating an online community, one point that will come up for discussion is how we enter into discussion.  David Pogue, columnist for the New York Times and very savvy tech user, posted this entry on his blog.  I know that MyPlace won’t officially launch for a while, but if you’re reading this, why not comment?

Welcome to MyPlace

Welcome to the Web site for MyPlace, an online project for classes of students.

It is an embodiment of the CEQALL approach to student-directed learning.

All those who are interested in participating in the pilot are encouraged to contact us to set up you own Blog and get started.

Some things you’ll want to consider are:

  • Setting out “student-friendly outcomes” - download Syllabus Overview or Look for yours
  • Brainstorming curricular relationships - View the Issues Page
  • Exploring Team teaching possibilities
  • Envisioning the optimal learning spaces for the project
  • Integrating powerful learning technologies
