He has developed an extensive body of research dedicated to instructional material, and more recently instructional design and technology, including developing and co-developing several instructional design theories.

He provides in this video a brief introduction to his current thoughts on web-based instructional design and discusses the importance showing rather than just telling, providing opportunities for practicing and doing, and motivating students by engagement in real-world problem solving.

If you’re a college-level instructor, or know one, I’m sure she’d appreciate if you took a few minutes to complete her survey. Here’s her message:

    A colleague and I are conducting an online survey in order to understand college instructors’ (faculty, graduate teaching assistants, lecturers, and adjuncts) behavior and opinions about Facebook being used as an instructional or course tool for courses. This survey will take participants approximately 10-20 minutes. For completing this survey, participants will be entered in a drawing to win one of two $100 gift cards to Amazon.com.

If you’re a K-12 teacher, or know one, I’m sure he’d appreciate if you took a few minutes to complete his survey. Here’s his message:

    Dear Educators,

    We are two Ph.D student researchers in computer science (University of
    California, Irvine) and education (University of Southern California)
    doing a research work that studies how technology, in particular Online
    Social Networks, can benefit learning and education for young people in
    the age group K-12.

    As part of this research, we would like to reach out to the educator
    community and hear your thoughts. We have formulated a short
    questionnaire that assess Online Social Networks. We hope you can fill
    out this survey, which takes less than 5 minutes.

    Survey link: Online Social Networks for Education and Learning in K-12

    Thank you so much for your time!

Supporters claim that a con-con is the only way to clean up the political mess in Springfield, but opponents point out it will cost a projected $80 million and likely won’t accomplish anything other than waste more taxpayer money as the same politicians who have caused the mess we are in right now in IL. Change is certainly needed, but re-writing the state constitution alone isn’t the answer.

    Here’s a video from former Governor Jim Edgar on the upcoming con-con.

    Here are some additional reasons to consider when casting your vote. I’ll be voting NO to the con-con on Nov. 4th.
