Welcome to Course Implementation
Those of you who have worked on CAE classes with me will recognize this format.
For the first meeting I hope we will be able to deal with the course outline, course expectations and various parking lot issues.
We will then get everyone set up on the individual and group blog and figure out a way to use this tool for this course. Part of the task for instructors when using blogs or bulletin boards is to determine the evaluation process that will be used.
Once we have figured out the blogging process we can get to work on using the blog to work on the course objectives starting with the terms and concepts.
I will be trying to guide this course in a fashion consistent with current understandings of adult education. One of the main precepts is that adults have a vast knowledge base to draw on and as they learn anything they will shape their learning consistent with their understanding of the world.
This is certainly the case for this group and we have teachers with a wide variety of experience and training. Teaching is at least in part, a performance art and a certain ego strength is required. Of course, ego strength has its drawbacks and can limit a teachers usefulness as well. Its a fine line.
I will attempt to guide this course so that each of you gains the maximum benefit according to your needs and your dispositions. Accordingly, the focus of attention of this course will be the body of work we will be covering as collected and gathered in your own individual portfolios.
