Comment on CourseArc Develops Tool that Enables Sharing of Course Content Across Counties and States by Katie Egan

Mariann, this new tool is designed for two CourseArc clients who are partnering together to build content and then share it with each other. Once the content has been built, each organization would get a copy on their own installation, alleviating FERPA and security concerns, and also allow them to customize the content.

Each client can get usage reporting and could share that information with each other.

You can share content with non-CA clients, but without individual logins, you would have to track using Google Analytics or some other tool.

This is a handy feature — it is possible to track usage of shared content? Can content be shared with non-CA clients while also tracking which institutional users are viewing pages and completing activities?

These tools are all great suggestions to get them back in the game and then keep student engaged in the course and interact with the other students in the class.

It appears I already do 90% of the recommended instruction in this. Good to see I’m on the right track!

I think a great use of polling is for group discussions with the goal of finding the best answer to a question.

Comment on How Gagné’s Nine Events of Instruction Can Make Your Online Courses Better by Marina Arshavskiy

In reply to Nikos Andriotis @ TalentLMS. Thanks for your comment. I agree that there are many other educational theorists whose work greatly influenced instructional design. Gagne's work extends far beyond just the Air Force, and many instructional designers, especially those who are new to the field, find his steps useful as they allow them to create instructionally sound courses. Gagne's Events of Instruction help instructional designers organize courses logically and effectively. While Piaget's work is definitely fundamental and plays a crucial role in education, he is mostly known for theory of cognitive development while Gagne is known for developing a series of works that simplified and explained what he believed to be 'good instruction'.

Interesting. Basically those 9 steps are pervasive now – even without invoking the name of the person that formulated it.
I suppose that when Gagne generalized the conclusion he drew from working with pilots to the wider population, his sight might have been somehow clouded – there is no word of repetition and further and now classic studies is psychology of memory and education proved that repetition is a powerful tool. Aircraft training is also different from continuous training that people undergo now – there is a constant flow of information (e.g. about new products for sellers) and people need tools to handle it. This is classic, no doubt, but on the other hand, not as fundamental as for instance the work of Jean Piaget, so it should be also treated appropriately.
