The Fall Quarter 2003 ended the second week in December 2003. Wow! What a quarter it was.
It's been quite a while since I last posted to my blog. I have been up to my nose working on a distance-learning research project that focused on blending technologies to enable teaching "Intermediate Accounting" in an online format.
I had approximately 100 students from both California State University, San Bernardino and UCLA Extension enrolled in my online classes. The fieldwork part of the research study was finished with the completion of the Fall Quarter 2003 classes. Now, I'm busy compiling the data. Once the compilation is completed, the research team will begin analyzing the data.
The "Groove Workspace" was a key technology used in my study. My California State University students used Groove to work together in study groups. Through the Groove Workspace, they collaborated to solve a variety of problems.
I also included a variety of other technologies in the study. Through future blog postings, I will describe the research project in greater depth.
If anyone who reads these and future comments is involved in distance teaching and learning, I would appreciate hearing from you. I would like to hear about what you are doing with blending of technologies. I'll be happy to share my experiences with you.
Happy New Year! "2004" holds tremendous promise and potential for distance teaching and learning.
