…. welp, I *would* be at the faculty summer institute but I didn’t get a proposal in and … honestly didn’t see any presentations that spoke to me. After all, …. I’m not faculty 😛 When I go out on the bike I remember things to do. At my desk? It’s not there. Well, except […]

I signed up for a MOOC but the timing is in relative down time so … looks like it will be happening. Executive Summary (or: TL/DR) Multiplication is often not fully understood. See https://resourceroom.net/UDLMult/ for a way to teach it concretely and thoroughly. Exponents are fun, too. Here’s a fun story in a two minute […]

Time to make the promised blog post response to Tuesday’s webinar with our Power in Numbers user group.  I caught the tail end of it, wherein Amber Delliger inquired of Dan Meyer:  how can adult ed get more involved in the math ed community?  She noted that adult educators can be tentative because many aren’t […]

… but I’m getting brain stupid so I’ll jot a few things. This is “bare minimum,” but we can make this so much more adaptive! First, Â the program should know how long it’s been since your last visit. Â If you’ve taken a ten minute or ten hour break… okay, proceed as you were. If […]

So! Â Whilst with ALEKS students get walked through entering fractions… and yes, Connect can do it, too, it seems none of the LMS’s that teachers can use have that facility. Â A student can’t answer with a mixed number; it’s “what is the whole number, what is the numerator, what is the denominator?” Also. Â […]

(in a deep and dark December… naw, it’s March!) The East is getting gobsmacked while we had some heavy flurries and some wind for my lunch bike ride (yesterday being a car day, the legs said they wanted to get out there, and I don’t argue!) We also had a meeting about the new ALEKS assessment […]

or, too verbose for Twitter R Us. So I read on twitter that “Open educational resources (#oer) and open source software are the single best way to ensure #equity for all students.” Ensure? Let’s talk about ‘equity’ and the adult ed folks in need of basic literacy and numeracy. Ensure? OER are starting to serve […]

Seems there will be a “cMOOC” about this. Â cMOOC being an open course that’s focused on ‘connectivity,’ somehow. Â We’ll see. Â The syllabus is pretty dry and academic, going through the history of ‘open.’ Â Guess my main beef with the ‘open’ community is that it’s so imbued with academic culture, as in “let me […]

Between reading the UDL book I downloaded a 200+ page tome about open education. Â It’s refreshingly old-school with all kinds of facts and references and statistics as opposed to “MOOCS are dead.” Â Lots of David Wiley but also lots of other stuff. Chapter 2 piqued my interest because it’s about open education as […]

Somebody put into the “idea” section of the Canvas Community that the “Submit Assignment” button should be changed to “Begin Assignment,” because students got confused — because they thought that “submit” meant you were going to turn it in. The replies included lots of people saying “Amen!” and then somebody saying “well, my students weren’t […]
