Comments on: Outstanding outstanding questions, assign# 1 http://ilearner.dk/cck08/?p=83 reflexions on studying online Tue, 07 Sep 2010 00:30:22 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: Heli http://ilearner.dk/cck08/?p=83#comment-48 Heli Wed, 29 Oct 2008 09:46:26 +0000 http://ilearner.dk/cck08/?p=83#comment-48 Hi Jorgen! Now I am very happy about coming here and reading your assigment. I remember the political 70'ies as well and now I feel that you are "my brother". That is fine. Mental revolution in society has never later been so deep and large as in 70'ies. It begun in Paris 1968 - I was in Berlin 1973 "Weltfespiel der Jungen uns Studenten" - you certainly know some others who were there. It was great! We have a long history in critical pedagogy and we should find the way to tell about it. I have been working in universities (science and now applied sciences) and I know the concepts ( I have studied from English books) but I appreciate pedagogical practice. It is the proof of everything. Speaking is only talking and thinking, easier than practice. According to your discussion with Andreas: I have had many online courses and year by year student like them more - it takes time. You said something about patience somewhre. remember it! Let's continue... Hi Jorgen!

I have data relative to last year courses. The reaction to openness of the teacher, generally speaking, was really warm. Put in numbers, 90% liked it. About 40% to 90% choose to work in the blogroom, the differences being related to the specific classes. The higher rates of participation are achieved in those classes where, for a number of reasons, I can follow them better.

I see that your blog is working for some of your students. How are participation-rates? /Jorgen Hi Andreas,

It was worthwhile :-) I'm interested to understand more on this: <i>On my course on IT-university student don’t want to engage in connecting online. They attend class for lectures and go home to read. I am disappointed, but the teachers have tried models like CCK08-course without success.</i> This is in rather sharp contrast with my experience. It would be useful, both for you and me, to understand the reasons of this difference. Thanks to your comment to Pierfranco Ravotto I recovered this post. It was worthwhile :-)
