needed for online learning in California

Online Teaching
Why does this matter?
The goal is student
achievement, but…if
we don’t know what
“it” looks like:
– We can’t count it
– We can’t study it
(research)
– We don’t know if
it’s making a
difference
– We can’t teach it to
others
What guides your ongoing
learning about online learning?
What are the barriers that derail
conversations and moving forward?
Transcontinental RR Barriers
• Congress could not decide on a route
– Some wanted southern, some northern

• 1849 – Gold discovered in Ca. Silver in Nevada
(but still Congress could not agree)
– Nevada builds railroad and Ca builds to
Sacramento

• 1853 – Congress set up a committee – sent out
4 survey teams
– Results shared: south wanted south, North
wanted north

• 1861 – South secedes (Civil War)
• 1862 – Congress authorizes a Central Route to
Ca
– to bind California to the Union

Notas do Editor

  1. Train through Canadian Rockies with family as a student.Night train from France to Italy with students.
  2. In the 2011 California study, over half of the respondents (56.2%) ranked concerns over course quality as a barrier to offering online and blended courses, compared with the 2007 national study (51.1%) and the 2009 national study (48.6%). Across all three studies, the barrier ranked second is course development and/or purchasing costs, 42.9%, 48.0% and 44.5% respectively. There was a 10% difference between the 2007 national study (18.1%) and the 2011 California study (28.1%) with regard to the barrier related to restrictive federal, state, or local laws or policies.
