| 10/5/2022 | Beware the Indicator – Questioning the Validity of Data Sources in Learning Analytics | ||
| Recent developments in learning analytics, which are a socio-technical data mining and analytic practice in educational contexts, show promise in supporting learning processes and enhancing study success in higher education, through the collection and analysis of data from learners, learning processes, and learning environments to provide meaningful feedback and scaffolds when needed. However, an analysis of more than 35,000 publications shows that rigorous, large-scale evidence on the effectiveness of indicators for learning analytics in supporting learning processes and study success is still lacking. This webinar will review the promises and opportunities of learning analytics and tackle the challenges of implementing indicators into productive higher education ecosystems. | |||

| 3/4/2022 | Remembering You’re Just One in 11: An Introduction to Social Network Analysis | ||
| "I think that you might be so sure that you're one in a million, that sometimes you forget that out there you're just one in 11." – Ted Lasso So many aspects of the world around us are connected and interact with one another. Sometimes our attention focuses on a single person or a single element, but thinking about networks helps us take a step back and consider the larger systems. Social network analysis is a rigorous approach to describe and infer patterns in systems of interacting parts. In this workshop, I will provide guidance for understanding and exploring networks. Abstract principles will be grounded by using R to analyze a dataset that is likely of interest to many AECT participants: tweets related to the AECT 2019 convention. Specific learning objectives of this workshop include: 1. To define what a network is 2. To describe some of the basic characteristics of networks 3. To understand the range of approaches to analyzing networks, both descriptive and inferential 4. To reflect on larger, conceptual issues related to researching networks, such as research ethics and research paradigms 4. To help beginners get past the intimidation of programming in R 5. To demonstrate a workflow for collecting and processing Twitter data to analyze networks, all using the tidytags R package. | |||

| 2/3/2022 | Redefining impact and diversifying what scholarship means in a cross-cultural context | ||
| Culture is “a fuzzy set of basic assumptions and values, orientations to life, beliefs, policies, procedures and behavioural conventions that are shared by a group of people, and that influence (but do not determine) each members behaviour and his/her interpretations of the meaning of other people's behaviour" (Spencer-Oatey, 2008, p. 3). (AECT Culture, Learning, & Technology) With increasing cross-cultural scholarly activities, newer themes, methods, and formats emerge as seen in recent publications in TechTrends, ETR&D, and JAID. At this forum, editors and authors will share their insights and experiences about the following topics: What are emerging cross-cultural research themes in instructional design and educational technology fields? How do research methods evolve in cross-cultural scholarship development? The session is purposed to provide grounding introduction to cross-cultural research development for scholars, researchers, and practitioners in instructional design, educational technology and communication. | |||

| 2/25/2021 | Overcoming the pandemic-driven disruption to Eastern European higher education: Incidental outcomes of long-term, intercultural academic collaboration | ||
| Many Eastern European students face hurdles in terms of language, adaptation, and cultural barriers in their pursuit of their academic goals. As the world continues to evolve through a world pandemic, educators and students are navigating through the realities of what "school" entails. The pandemic has challenged the notion of how traditional "school" operates and there are certain barriers that will require an adjustment at multiple levels within the institution to bolster instructors preparation and successfully integrate new instructional strategies not used in their pre-pandemic academic programs. cultural adaptability, linguistic nuances, and technological accessibility, and financial need, are coming to the forefront as academic institutions work toward providing effective systems for international instructor support. | |||

| 2/19/2021 | Capability Maturity Model for Diversity in Organisations | ||
| There is still a lack of understanding and clarity on what diversity looks like within an organisation, and how that can be achieved on a practical basis. This is relevant in both industry and higher education. We propose a lightweight practical framework for diversity based on the Capability Maturity Model (CMM). This framework highlights and identifies 5 levels of diversity maturity as well as providing practical background information such as definitions of blatant and subtle discrimination. This is because the key to understanding the 5 levels of diversity maturity relies on members of the organisation understanding subtle discrimination and recognising the wider implications of that discrimination. The CMM was used because of it's simplicity and clarity, the fact that it is relatively well known, and because the use of a maturity model implies there is a pathway to a clear goal of being a mature, diverse organisation. We demonstrate how the framework can make it easier for organisations to understand where they currently sit within the diversity maturity levels, and provide practical ways on how they can move toward being a mature, diverse organisation. | |||

| 2/26/2020 | How Educational Design Research Can Put the "Public" Back in "Publication" | ||
| February 26th, 2020 at 1:00 pm (EST) Dr. Thomas C. Reeves (Tom) is Professor Emeritus of Learning, Design, and Technology in the College of Education at The University of Georgia. He is a former Fulbright Lecturer in Peru and he has been an invited speaker in the USA and more than 30 other countries. In 2003, he received the AACE Fellowship Award from the Association for the Advancement of Computing in Education, in 2010 he was made a Fellow of the Australasian Society for Computers in Learning in Tertiary Education (ASCILITE), and in 2013 he received the David H. Jonassen Excellence in Research Award from the Association for Educational Communications and Technology (AECT). His books include: Interactive Learning Systems Evaluation (2003, with John Hedberg), A Guide to Authentic E-Learning (2010, with Jan Herrington and Ron Oliver), Conducting Educational Design Research (2012 and 2019, with Susan McKenney), MOOCs and Open Education around the World (2015, with Curt Bonk, Mimi Lee, and Tom Reynolds), and MOOCs and Open Education in the Global South (2020, with Ke Zhang, Curt Bonk, and Tom Reynolds). He lives in Athens, Georgia, USA with his wife, Dr. Trisha Reeves, and their two Westies, Button and Zipper. More information about Tom’s work can be found at: http://www.evaluateitnow.com/ Abstract: The pressure on educational technology academics to publish is higher than ever. Publications (especially in highly ranked peer reviewed journals) and grants are the keys to winning the tenure and promotion game, if not to securing an academic appointment in the first place! Unfortunately, this trend pressures educational technology researchers to emphasize quantity of publications over societal benefits. A more socially responsible approach to educational technology research is needed. Educational Design Research (EDR) is a unique genre of educational research that has two primary goals: to develop solutions to serious educational problems and to refine theoretical knowledge related to the problems. The EDR process is embedded in the data-driven development of solutions to the problems being tackled while at the same time extending theoretical knowledge through iterative cycles of data collection, analysis, and reflection. This presentation will recommend how EDR can be applied to serious educational challenges while at the same time increasing the value of our scholarship to society at large. Examples of EDR in corrections, public health, and other sectors will be highlighted. | |||

| 9/22/2019 | Designing for All: Accessibility & Universal Design | ||
| As identified in a 2019 EDUCAUSE survey, accessibility and universal design for learning (UDL) ranked in the top 5 issues and opportunities for educators. However, Rieber and Estes (2017) noted a dearth of coverage related to people with disabilities in their review of all articles published in Educational Technology Research & Development (ETR&D) through 2013. While a growing body of research associated with universal design educational models to support accessibility has developed outside of the educational technology field, reviews of research suggest it's in a nascent stage with few empirically-based articles to support the effectiveness of theorized practices and frameworks to support learning outcomes resulting in a lack of consensus regarding the application of principles (Edyburn, 2010; Rao, Ok & Bryant, 2014; Roberts, Park, Brown & Cook, 2011). Given this gap, Rieber and Estes (2017, p. 16) argue, "Time has come to bring the best ideas from the instructional technology field to the design challenge of meeting all levels of accessibility." This webinar is a response to this call. Join us as we consider ways both researchers and designers can make an impact to address this opportunity. We’ll explore the topic of Designing for All through the lens of universal design for learning and share resources to support more effective design practices. Slides: CLICK HERE. | |||

| 4/26/2019 | An Introduction to Embodied Cognition and Technologies for Learning | ||
| From the embodied perspective, cognition arises from the body and its’ specific interactions with the environment, where one’s senses, perception, and motor skills come together to create a mental activity (Thelen, 2012; Thelen & Smith, 1994). This activity is bi-directional; our reactions are informed by the environment and, at the same time, inform our perception of the environment in an active relationship with the world. Research on embodied cognition, however, is still maturing; there currently is no single or agreed-upon perspective in the literature. [Link to PowerPoint Slides] | |||

| 3/14/2019 | A Mixed Methods Look at Motivation and Career Development of MOOC Instructors | ||
| During the past decade, MOOCs have provided individuals with unprecedented learning opportunities. In order for MOOCs to find success in different educational sectors, a better understanding of the motivational and career development elements related to MOOC instructors is essential. This study examined the motivation and career development of MOOC instructors using a mixed-methods approach. A total of 142 participants completed the online survey and six MOOC instructors participated in in-depth interviews. From the research findings, motivation of MOOC instructors was categorized into five key components: (1) interest in new technology, (2) service to the public and community, (3) interest in the subject matter, (4) institutional interest, and (5) personal interest. Meanwhile, the primary frustrations that MOOC instructors encountered included a lack of interaction and asynchronous communication with students and time for creating MOOCs. At the same time, many MOOC instructors perceived that MOOC teaching positively influenced their professional development. The research findings also demonstrated that most MOOC instructors learned how to teach MOOCs informally and personally without professional development opportunities. Nevertheless, they made efforts to help other MOOC instructors. Finally, this study pointed to the strong need for professional development of MOOC instructors in developing MOOCs and its effective implementation.

| 6/21/2018 | New roles and qualitative research approaches to study complex educational systems | ||
| Qualitative research methods have often been used to examine individual cases and classroom experiences with teachers and learners to explore how and why learning took place. These inquiry approaches have been useful for examining systemic affordances and barriers to instruction, as well as student interactions and experiences with instructional technologies ranging from learning games to social media. As educational systems continue to add technology to support organizational and learning aspects, it becomes more difficult to untangle the reasons why large-scale implementations succeed or fail with only quantitative measures. With a higher education example, we discuss how qualitative approaches can provide stakeholders and managers with a better view of how a complex educational scheme is constructed, using a "system of systems" view to examine aspects such as financing, management, learning, advising, technology, and human resources components that impact success. At each contact points between subsystems, transitions exist where delivering the products and services of an educational organization may fail. This state of affairs requires understanding the quality of stakeholder experience and problem identification can be done to determine needs for product or process improvements, additional training, better overall strategy, or wholesale organizational changes. With examples from soft systems methodology and failure modes and effects analysis methods, this webinar explores changing the role of qualitative approaches as we shift the research lens from local participant experience to whole organization as a means of better depicting the performance of complex educational systems. | |||

| 4/26/2018 | Expansive Framing for Productive Online Engagement, Generative Learning, and Enduring Achievement | ||
| This presentation will summarize a framework for fostering highly productive forms of disciplinary engagement in online courses. Expansive framing follows from situative theories of knowing, learning, and transfer. Student engagement is framed in terms of time (building on past to contribute to the future), place (beyond the class), and role (co-authors contributing to broad knowledge). Open assignments are used to engage learners publically with disciplinary concepts, learning resources, peers, and instructors. After each assignment, public reflections informally assess engagement, while private quizzes semi-formally assess understanding. Discrete time-limited multiple-choice exams formally assess disciplinary achievement and motivate continued engagement. Examples and evidence from fully online secondary, undergraduate, and graduate courses will be presented.

| 3/20/2018 | Mistaking Disenchantment for Truth: How Do We Measure Learner Engagement? | ||
| One of the challenges we face as researchers is making sure that there are methods to our madness; i.e., making sure that the methods of inquiry we choose align with the questions we seek to answer. With respect to learner engagement, the first validated instruments began development in the 1970s and commonly used or referenced instruments now number in the dozens. Together, we'll explore a few of these tools and strategies for selecting the right one for your research inquiry Facilitator: Scott Gibbons, Communications Officer of the Learner Engagement SIG, University of Cincinnati | |||

| 3/7/2018 | Engaging Learning: Integrating Education and Experience | ||
| If you look closely at the elements of successful instructional practice and those of engaging experiences, you find an alignment that suggests learning can, and should, be ‘hard fun’. Putting that into practice, however, is rife with opportunities to go awry. In this presentation, we’ll go through the hard-won lessons in 35+ years of designing learning games and experiences, and provide guidance about systematic revisions to the design process. Come see how to successfully integrate engagement into learning design. Facilitator: Matt Yauk, Tech Officer of the Learner Engagement SIG, The Ohio State University | |||

| 10/19/2017 | The Study of Learning Engagement: A Focused Mind in a Media Multitasking World | ||
| Media multitasking, i.e., using multiple media simultaneously, is prevalent as technology becomes increasingly ubiquitous in and out of schools. American teenagers spend eight hours per day with media; and a large portion of this time is spent media multitasking. More than 90% university students report texting in class. While research shows signs that media multitasking is associated with impulsivity, social deficits, lower cognitive ability and quality of learning, many advocate multitasking as a must-have skill. Media multimedia phenomenon has been studied in different disciplines (e.g., neuroscience, information science, and organizational learning), using different terms (e.g., dual task, multitasking, polychronicity, and task switching) and methods (e.g., lab experiments, questionnaires, diaries, observations, and interviews). They all provide insights; yet, they offer partial stories within specific disciplines, are limited in ecological validity, and tend to ignore biological, physical or environmental factors. The purpose of this forum is to share current studies and discuss new methods to study the complexity of this phenomenon so as to inform learning, design, and instruction. | |||

| 4/5/2017 | Research to Make a Difference | ||
| Could you improve the kinds of research you are doing? Your chances of getting published? Your impact on the real world? Dr. Reigeluth will discuss a variety of topics that may help you to answer these questions, which may be crucial to the success of your career. Different purposes for your research (e.g., to improve practice or to advance theory), Different kinds of knowledge you may want to produce for each purpose (descriptive theory or design theory) and the appropriate forms of such knowledge (e.g., conditional and probabilistic), Different kinds of research methods for producing each kind of knowledge (research to prove or research to improve – confirmatory or exploratory) When in the history of a given focus area each kind of research method is most useful, Different methodological issues for each kind of research (e.g., validity or preferability), Specific methods you might find helpful (e.g., design-based research, formative research, grounded theory development). This discussion will focus on highly practical issues for improving the research you do – ones that you likely have not encountered in research courses or projects.

| 3/8/2017 | What are we preparing our students for? An argument for alt-format dissertations | ||
| Most scholars agree that the main purposes of the dissertation are to train students in proper research methodology and to contribute original findings to research. However, some worry that the traditional dissertation format is not conducive to either of these goals. Research has shown that dissertations rarely get disseminated into academic journals, and academics rarely cite dissertations that have not been published as articles. Additionally, some scholars argue that the traditional dissertation format is a poor training tool because it does not prepare scholars for future professional pursuits. Many departments, including mine, now offer alternative-format dissertations, including the option of defending a series of articles. In this webinar, Dr. West will share some of the research about alternative-format dissertations and our experience at BYU. He will discuss what lessons we have learned, and engage you in a discussion about the strengths and weaknesses of the alternative-format dissertation and how it might be used to improve scholarship in our field. | |||

| 6/29/2016 | Shifting Paradigms from the Inside Out: Instructional Designers as Change Agents | ||
| A learning system is influenced by so many other factors which often requires a paradigm shift. Thus as learning and performance improvement professionals we have to be prepared to be change agents as well, and adapt the formal theoretical frameworks and strategies to fit the institution’s particular process and culture. This requires us to be patient and sensitive to the institution’s cultural nuances and decide on what theoretical approaches to insist on and when to let the institution organically formulate the method that works best for their system. The webinar will address the increased need for instructional designers to be change agents. The presenters will share insights on approaches to navigating the complexity of implementing learning and performance interventions that generate paradigm shifts. | |||
