Lloyd --Rieber>>Sure, Marjorie, but let's wait a few more minutes

Michelle Scott-Lawrence>>hello everyone

Lloyd --Rieber>>hi michelle

Lloyd --Rieber>>well, I'll bet we don't see Dawn in here tonight :)

Lloyd --Rieber>>I hope mother and child are doing well

Lloyd --Rieber>>ah, another instructional designer born into the world! :)

Michelle Scott-Lawrence>>if she shows up, she deserves a crown

Marjorie Rickard>>ok

Marjorie Rickard>>i saw kathleen a few min ago

Marjorie Rickard>>should i check the other room

Lloyd --Rieber>>that would be great ... I really don't know of any other room!

Lloyd --Rieber>>Has everyone been checking their WebCT email?

Bari C.--Francis>>yes

Michelle Scott-Lawrence>>yes

Marjorie Rickard>>yes, i couldn't find anyone

Lloyd --Rieber>>Good. However, I get the sense that many folks have not.

Lloyd --Rieber>>I've received some 'regular' email from folks who didn't seem to be aware of all the WebCT email I've sent.

Lloyd --Rieber>>So, I'm hoping this is not a source of confusion.

Lloyd --Rieber>>Thanks, Marjorie

Marjorie Rickard>>the calendar stated 10-11 7pm chat

Michelle Scott-Lawrence>>Im mainly confused about assign. 1

Lloyd --Rieber>>Really?

Michelle Scott-Lawrence>>I'm not sure where to get the topic, are we suppose to make it up or is it one of the topics you gave us

Michelle Scott-Lawrence>>i.e. paint door etc

Lloyd --Rieber>>I sent email out that explained when the chat would be.

Lloyd --Rieber>>Michelle....

Lloyd --Rieber>>The topic is one that you generate....

Lloyd --Rieber>>You should choose one that is relevant to you and your organization

Lloyd --Rieber>>The ones listed in the assignment were just examples.

Michelle Scott-Lawrence>>ok so we could possibly do something similar to a writing lesson????

Lloyd --Rieber>>yes.

Linda L--Davison>>Do we need flow charts like in the book?

Michelle Scott-Lawrence>>thanks for the clarification

Lloyd --Rieber>>We will be making flow charts like the ones in the book. However, assignment one is not meant to be that involved....

Lloyd --Rieber>>Assignment one ends at the point where you identify your goal/s....

Lloyd --Rieber>>The flow charts (like those shown in the book) are created in the other assignments

Lloyd --Rieber>>I'm glad to see that most everyone has created a "participant profile"

Linda L--Davison>>So, it is basically an overview of a potential project

Lloyd --Rieber>>Yes, that's a good way of looking at it Linda

Marjorie Rickard>>could we use a goal like increasing reading proficiency at the middle school level by a certaiin percentage

Lloyd --Rieber>>BTW, the chat session from last week should now be available....

Lloyd --Rieber>>I had to 'throw a switch' to make them accessible ... and I only did that about one hour ago

Lloyd --Rieber>>(I didn't know about the 'switch' until just today.)

Lloyd --Rieber>>Has anyone tried accessing the chat transcript in the last few minutes?

Marjorie Rickard>>no

Michelle Scott-Lawrence>>I did earlier but not in the passt few minutes

Lloyd --Rieber>>Let me know if you have any trouble ...

Lloyd --Rieber>>...there should now not be a problem accessing them, but I'll wait until I get confirmation from you all

Lloyd --Rieber>>I've received email from folks expressing some confusion about various things

Lloyd --Rieber>>the "instructional units"....

Lloyd --Rieber>>... I worked on these today .. I think they are all now consistent.

Michelle M.--Alicea-Barrow>>Hi all...=0)

Lloyd --Rieber>>(and I sent email to everyone about this just a little bit ago.)

Linda L--Davison>>Where is the overview and goal analysis that we are to read

Michelle M.--Alicea-Barrow>>I went to the wrong room

Lloyd --Rieber>>So, you all have access to several WebCT rooms?

Diane S--White>>That was me. We also had a proposal which is due next week and clarification would be great.

Michelle Scott-Lawrence>>yes

Michelle M.--Alicea-Barrow>>yes

*+**** Doug--L--Arnold entered ITDE_8001_T28_20144_200420_Room1. Sunday, October 12, 2003 7:15pm

Diane S--White>>We have access to several chats.

Lloyd --Rieber>>Diane ...have you been able to get the WebCT email I've sent?

Diane S--White>>My e-mail WebCt should be forwarded to my home address but for some reason it hasn't

Michelle Scott-Lawrence>>no only nova email can be forwarded

Michelle M.--Alicea-Barrow>>I have just printed all assignments that are due

Lloyd --Rieber>>Yes, it should be easy to forward WebCT email to other addresses.....

Michelle M.--Alicea-Barrow>>Actually, I did that yesterday afternoon=0)

Lloyd --Rieber>>So, please read all of the past WebCT email I've sent if anyone hasn't been getting it forwarded.

Lloyd --Rieber>>I'll be sending WebCT email *at least* once a week, so....

Lloyd --Rieber>>if you don't get anything, please check in with me as something is likely to be wrong.

Michelle Scott-Lawrence>>ok

Michelle M.--Alicea-Barrow>>I've been checking the WebCT about every other day.

Lloyd --Rieber>>Good

Lloyd --Rieber>>Is everyone clear about where to submit Assignment 1?

Michelle Scott-Lawrence>>what about linda's question about goal analysis

Diane S--White>>I'm not clear.

Michelle Scott-Lawrence>>yes

Michelle M.--Alicea-Barrow>>I just wanted to let you know, Dawn is still in the hospital and she won't be released until Thursday..

Marjorie Rickard>>I acould like increasingnI have been trying to navigate all the linghereareyes b

Marjorie Rickard>>sorry

Lloyd --Rieber>>I missed the question .... please restate it Linda

Linda L--Davison>>Where do you find the overview and goal analysis that we are to read

Lloyd --Rieber>>The overview and goal analysis are chapters 1 and 2 of the DCC book

Michelle M.--Alicea-Barrow>>Hence the reason as to why she is not here tonight.

Linda L--Davison>>But the calender said something about an online resource

Lloyd --Rieber>>Actually goal analysis is chapter 3

Lloyd --Rieber>>There are a variety of extra resources available ....

Lloyd --Rieber>>They are in WebCT, but...

Lloyd --Rieber>>the main resource ... the one to really study ... is the DCC book.

Linda L--Davison>>OK

Marjorie Rickard>>assignment , should it be related to our area of study

Marjorie Rickard>>ass. 1

Lloyd --Rieber>>Yes, the assignment 1 should be something related to your work

Diane S--White>>Is this the one that we'r edoing in gropus/

Diane S--White>>groups, sorry

Marjorie Rickard>>will we continue working on this same goal throughout the course

Lloyd --Rieber>>Assignment 1 is done individually, and the rest are done in a group.

Lloyd --Rieber>>Let me explain a little about that....

Linda L--Davison>>Back to where to submit assignment1?

Lloyd --Rieber>>Assignment 1 gets everyone to start thinking about instructional design in your own areas of interest....

Lloyd --Rieber>>You work on assignment 1 individually and submit it to.....

Lloyd --Rieber>>your "participant profile/page"..... I sent email about this on Friday

Michelle M.--Alicea-Barrow>>Shouldn't we submit assignments to you Dr. Rieber?

Lloyd --Rieber>>No, assignment 1 is not submitted directly to me....

Diane S--White>>I'm confused.

Doug L--Arnold>>me as well

Lloyd --Rieber>>I'll try to explain.....

Lloyd --Rieber>>Assignment 1 is an online submission

Diane S--White>>Are you asking us to attach it to our web page/

Lloyd --Rieber>>It is submitted as part of your "participant profile"....

Michelle Scott-Lawrence>>some people have not found the profile link

Michelle Scott-Lawrence>>i stumbled on it by accident

Diane S--White>>I haven't.

Lloyd --Rieber>>two people have not created a participant profile as of this afternoon.

Lloyd --Rieber>>(Again, I sent email about this on Friday .... the best thing is probably to read that well.)

Lloyd --Rieber>>But here is the short answer....

Diane S--White>>I've been surfing WebCt and have not come across it.

Lloyd --Rieber>>It is located in the following area of WebCT.....

Lloyd --Rieber>>Instructional Design -> Participant Profile & pages

Marjorie Rickard>>aaawe wos goal for ssb

*-**** Marjorie--Rickard left ITDE_8001_T28_20144_200420_Room1. Sunday, October 12, 2003 7:27pm

Marjorie Rickard>>sorry

Lloyd --Rieber>>Let me explain more about Assignment 1

Marjorie Rickard>>tec problems

Lloyd --Rieber>>(Don't worry, you'll all find it ... again, look for my email explanation)

Lloyd --Rieber>>After you submit Assignment 1....

Lloyd --Rieber>>I will make all of your answers "public". There is an important reason for this.....

Marjorie Rickard>>could a goal for ass. 1 be to increase literacy at the middle school level by a certain %

Lloyd --Rieber>>Although Assignment 1 is completed individually, it is also meant as a way to help form the teams.....

Lloyd --Rieber>>We will use Assignment 1 as a way for people to form a team based on similar project ideas.

Lloyd --Rieber>>Yes, Marjorie, but....

Lloyd --Rieber>>It's best to submit a project idea that is procedural in nature ... that is, more "clear cut"

Lloyd --Rieber>>the less fuzzy the better.

Marjorie Rickard>>i would make it very specific

Michelle M.--Alicea-Barrow>>The first assignment, the audience, reason, how it will help?

Lloyd --Rieber>>I don't understand your question, Michelle ... please restate

Marjorie Rickard>>could we submit our ideas to you before posting them

Lloyd --Rieber>>No need Marjorie ... after you submit, you can update as often as you like.....

Bari C.--Francis>>In read ch. 2 about goal writing the authors don't really mention quantitative measurements in the goal, but should we include them in our goal?

Lloyd --Rieber>>If someone is "way off base", I'll let you know before I make these public.

Marjorie Rickard>>will we continue on our own or in a group

Michelle M.--Alicea-Barrow>>Our paper needs to state our audience, reason, and how it can help, correct?

Lloyd --Rieber>>We will form groups BASED on what you submit to assignment 1

Marjorie Rickard>>will the groups focus on a similar idea or pick one which has already been stated?

Lloyd --Rieber>>Teams can either pick one of the project ideas submitted by someone, or.....

Lloyd --Rieber>>adapt/modify a project topic to make it relevant to everyone in the team (this is the most likely scenario).

Michelle M.--Alicea-Barrow>>Will there be a problem with me just teachingK-12 and my idea wa beyong high school>

Lloyd --Rieber>>So, in a sense, you all should try to "market" your project idea to the rest of the class!

Lloyd --Rieber>>No, Michelle. However, you may not find a team wanting to work in this area specifically, so you may have to "compromise" when you get on a team.

Lloyd --Rieber>>But, Assignment 1 is meant to get you all to think about instructional design in an area important/familiar to you.

Michelle M.--Alicea-Barrow>>Sorry about my previous post....I teach k-12, but I would like to get into to post-secondary situation?!

Michelle M.--Alicea-Barrow>>Okay, thanks Dr. Riber=0)

Lloyd --Rieber>>:)

Diane S--White>>I noticed that there was some requirement that the students be literate but I teach severely disabled students. would it be ok to set an appropriate goal for them?

Marjorie Rickard>>how will the teams be formed?

Lloyd --Rieber>>Please check out the participant profiles ... I programmed this to make it easier for you all to learn more about the focus areas of your classmates

Lloyd --Rieber>>Good question Marjorie.

Lloyd --Rieber>>I'm hoping that most teams will form naturally, that is.....

Lloyd --Rieber>>After the Assignment 1s become public, I'm hoping that folks will take the initiative to look over all the postings and email individuals with whom you want to join up

Lloyd --Rieber>>I will step in to form teams only for people who don't find themselves already on a team.

Lloyd --Rieber>>I will send explicit email instructions about this (don't worry).

Marjorie Rickard>>assignment 2 will result from assignment 1 and the groups formed?

Lloyd --Rieber>>Yes, Marjorie. Assignment 2 will be completed by the newly formed teams.

Lloyd --Rieber>>Working together as a team at a distance will be a challenge

Diane S--White>>This is all starting to make much more sense.

Lloyd --Rieber>>Good Diane (you just made my night!)

Marjorie Rickard>>great, sounds interesting

Michelle M.--Alicea-Barrow>>Groups should be formed from assignment one, correct?

Michelle Scott-Lawrence>>thanks for the clarification

Lloyd --Rieber>>Yes, Michelle ... groups will form immediately after the assignment 1 responses are made public

Diane S--White>>Are you suggesting that we consider our geographic locations?

Lloyd --Rieber>>Geographic locations can be helpful if the teams want to meet f2f .... but I know that will not be practical/possible for all team members

Michelle M.--Alicea-Barrow>>That is a good idea, Diane... but what if all of us do not have the same idea?!

Lloyd --Rieber>>But yes, feel free to consider geographic location as a variable

Lloyd --Rieber>>As we discussed last week, the formation of teams requires much compromise ... there is never a "perfect team" in terms of topic, etc.

Lloyd --Rieber>>All ID courses such as this face this challenge.

Michelle M.--Alicea-Barrow>>This is a challege!!=0)

Marjorie Rickard>>will we have chat space available for our teams

Linda L--Davison>>We always have the general chats

Lloyd --Rieber>>Yes, Marjorie, teams can use chat ..... I'll check into the possibility of creating special chat rooms (not sure if that is possible)

Michelle M.--Alicea-Barrow>>Which is nice!!!

Lloyd --Rieber>>yes, there are always the general chat

Lloyd --Rieber>>So, to begin working on Assignment 1 do the following.....

Marjorie Rickard>>assignments one is due on the 18th?

Lloyd --Rieber>>Yes, it's due on the 18th.

Marjorie Rickard>>thank you

Lloyd --Rieber>>But, it's ready now online for your to submit ....

Lloyd --Rieber>>Step one: create a class profile (most of you have done this).

Doug L--Arnold>>Thank you

Lloyd --Rieber>>Step two: Go and log in to your class profile/participante page and....

Lloyd --Rieber>>.... you will see a link to create "Assignment 1".

Lloyd --Rieber>>Step three: Update your Assignment 1 as often as you like up to the 18th.

Lloyd --Rieber>>I'll review these on the 19th.

Michelle M.--Alicea-Barrow>>Dr. Rieber, are you basing groups on that profile, or leaving it to us?=0)

Lloyd --Rieber>>If anyone is "off base", I'll email you feedback, otherwise.....

Lloyd --Rieber>>I will make all Assignment 1 responses public for you all to peruse.

Lloyd --Rieber>>Michelle ... I will give you all the chance to form teams first ... based on the profiles AND Assignment 1 responses

Doug L--Arnold>>Sounds good

Marjorie Rickard>>so, we will not be able to look at other clustermates ass. 1 until after the 19th?

Diane S--White>>Sounds great!

Michelle M.--Alicea-Barrow>>Thanks, Dr. R...Just checking..

Lloyd --Rieber>>Yes, Marjorie, that is correct

Marjorie Rickard>>ok

Lloyd --Rieber>>Once you all start to use the participant profiles/pages, I hope you will see this as a "good thing" :)

Lloyd --Rieber>>BTW, don't forget that it is possible to add a picture to your profile.

Marjorie Rickard>>I like it!

Lloyd --Rieber>>If you are not sure how, feel free to send me a digital photo and I'll add it for you

Marjorie Rickard>>how

Lloyd --Rieber>>BTW, have you all met each other f2f?

Diane S--White>>yes

Michelle Scott-Lawrence>>yes

Lloyd --Rieber>>Good

Doug L--Arnold>>yep

Marjorie Rickard>>I couldn't find a browse

Lloyd --Rieber>>It's good to have made the 'personal contact'

Marjorie Rickard>>what do we click on?

Lloyd --Rieber>>photos on the class profile just "point" to a photo that is already on the web somewhere ... all you do is put the URL to it in the profile

Marjorie Rickard>>ok

Lloyd --Rieber>>Again, if adding a photo is confusing, just email me your digital photo as an attachment and I'll take care of it for you .... this is not something I want anyone to waste any time on.

Lloyd --Rieber>>(And I like doing this kind of stuff!)

Michelle Scott-Lawrence>>thanks

Lloyd --Rieber>>A quick word about the next set of movies....

Lloyd --Rieber>>I'm a little behind on these....

Lloyd --Rieber>>The video presentation of chapter 2 should be ready Monday or Tuesday .....

Michelle M.--Alicea-Barrow>>Dr. Rieber, is it possible to "pick" our ouw groups?

Lloyd --Rieber>>.... Nova folks are 'converting' it now.

Lloyd --Rieber>>My video presentation for chapter 3 should be ready by the end of the week, as well as that for chapter 4

Doug L--Arnold>>sounds good

Marjorie Rickard>>I like the videos

Lloyd --Rieber>>Yes, Michelle, but ...

Diane S--White>>There a good supplement to the chapters.

Lloyd --Rieber>>.... we will wait until after Assignment 1s are ready before making any team official.

Doug L--Arnold>>but what?

Doug L--Arnold>>oh ok

Lloyd --Rieber>>(I type fast, but not that fast!)

Lloyd --Rieber>>Again, assignment 1 will help everyone know the areas of interest of their classmates

Michelle M.--Alicea-Barrow>>I have not seen the videos yet. My computer has been acting quite " weird" lately.

Lloyd --Rieber>>You mean you haven't seen Annabelle yet Michelle? (My Jersey cow)

Lloyd --Rieber>>:)

Diane S--White>>I love Annabelle

Lloyd --Rieber>>She is a very sweet animal

Michelle Scott-Lawrence>>annabelle is quite the star

Lloyd --Rieber>>800 pounds of sweetness :)

Doug L--Arnold>>Go Jersey's!! Godawgs!!

Michelle M.--Alicea-Barrow>>I have checked out your websites, and I do not recall Annabelle!

Marjorie Rickard>>Maybe we should all take a trip to the farm

Michelle M.--Alicea-Barrow>>I have been a bit out of it lately!!

Diane S--White>>That sounds like agreat field trip!

Doug L--Arnold>>Lets go!

Lloyd --Rieber>>If you click on "course videos" on the main WebCT page, then....

Michelle M.--Alicea-Barrow>>GO CUBBIES!!! GO HURRICANES!!! I'M A BIG FAN!!

Lloyd --Rieber>>...click on "Lloyd's NowhereRoad Videos"

Michelle M.--Alicea-Barrow>>Field trip? Let's go!!!

Lloyd --Rieber>>Again, please catch up on all of the WebCT email I've sent

Marjorie Rickard>>Thanks for the clarification

Diane S--White>>Thank you for all of the clarification.

Doug L--Arnold>>Thank U!!

Lloyd --Rieber>>I'm known for using email for my "long explanations" , so read them slowly and carefully (with a glass of your favorite beverage in hand!)

Linda L--Davison>>Thank you
