  • A FACULTY PERSPECTIVES and PRACTICES of SOCIAL PRESENCE in ONLINE POST-SECONDARY LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS a Dissertation SUBMITTED
    FACULTY PERSPECTIVES AND PRACTICES OF SOCIAL PRESENCE IN ONLINE POST-SECONDARY LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS A Dissertation SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Julie Ann Smith IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF EDUCATION Joyce Strand, Ph.D., Adviser April 2018 a Julie Ann Smith 2018 © b Acknowledgements This dissertation would not have been able without my patient adviser, Dr. Joyce Strand, who continued to support me throughout the years and help me to finally finish this research project. The last three years of trying to finish my dissertation included the caregiving to my mother and father. My father spent over two years in assistive care at the end of battling a long war with Alzheimer’s. He needed my mother’s help and she needed mine. This, and a concurrent divorce to my husband of 23 years, prolonged my ability to complete the writing of this dissertation, thus a long time had passed since the literature review. Many thanks go to my committee and doctoral chair who patiently provided me excellent advice in educational theory, interview and survey questionnaire revisions and/or dissertation guidance: Drs. Helen Mongan-Rallis, Craig Stroupe, Terrie Shannon, and Linda Deneen, and Chair Dr. Frank Guldbrandsen. Acknowledgements also go out to the faculty survey respondents and interviewees. Without their volunteer time, participation, and input, I would not have results to advance the study of social presence in the Community of Inquiry model. Additional thanks go to the faculty and staff and my cohort of the Education Doctorate in Teaching and Learning program at the University of Minnesota Duluth in the College of Education and Human Service Professions.

  • Prezi: a Different Way to Present
    Turkish Online Journal of Distance Education-TOJDE April 2010 ISSN 1302-6488 Volume: 11 Number: 4 Notes for Editor-1 PREZI: A Different Way to Present Kevin YEE, Ph.D. Assistant Director, Faculty Center for Teaching and Learning University of Central Florida Orlando, FL, USA Jace HARGIS, Ph.D. Assistant Provost for Faculty Development University of the Pacific Stockton, California, USA For many years now, Microsoft PowerPoint has been so dominant in the field of presentation software that its name has become all but synonymous with the generic concept. Professors often assume students have access to PowerPoint to create their own student presentations (or, at a minimum, to display and print the instructors‘ slides for use as notes or handouts, particularly since Microsoft offers a free viewer for download for anyone who lacks the full software). Even Macintosh users can reliably be assumed to have the ability to create and view PPT files, even though native Mac applications like Keynote promise enhanced design possibilities. The explosion of browser-based software alternatives recently has led to challengers in many fields, among them the category of presentation software. There are now several completely-free cloud-ware applications that offer similar fundamental tools to PowerPoint (and in many cases, they intentionally reproduce the same look and feel of PP), such as SlideRocket, Impress by OpenOffice, and Presentations by Google Docs. Newer and even smaller challengers are still more likely to mimic the design and feel of PowerPoint, including 280 Slides, BrinkPad, PreZentIt, ThinkFree Show, and Zoho Show. While such free alternatives may present an economic challenge to Microsoft‘s software, their mimicry of the functionality and layout limits their utility for professors seeking an alternative to the ubiquitous PowerPoint.

  • 4134(A) Personnel ADMINISTRATIVE REGULATIONS REGARDING USE of SOCIAL MEDIA the Board of Education Recognizes the Importance
    4134(a) Personnel ADMINISTRATIVE REGULATIONS REGARDING USE OF SOCIAL MEDIA The Board of Education recognizes the importance and utility of social media and networks for its employees. The laws regarding social media continue to evolve and change. Nothing in the Board’s policy or these administrative regulations is intended to limit an employee’s right to use social media or personal online accounts under applicable law, as it may evolve. The Board acknowledges, for example, that its employees have the right under the First Amendment, in certain circumstances, to speak out on matters of public concern. The Board will resolve any conflict between the Board’s policy or these regulations and applicable law in favor of the law. Ordinarily, the use of social media by employees, including employees’ personal online accounts, will not be a legal or policy issue. While a policy or regulation cannot address every instance of inappropriate social media use, employees must refrain from social media use that: 1) interferes, disrupts or undermines the effective operation of the school district; 2) is used to engage in harassing, defamatory, obscene, abusive, discriminatory or threatening or similarly inappropriate communications; 3) creates a hostile work environment; 4) breaches confidentiality obligations of school district employees; or 5) violates the law, board policies and/or other school rules and regulations. Definitions: The rapid speed at which technology continuously evolves makes it difficult, if not impossible, to identify all types of social media. Thus, the term Social Media includes a variety of online tools and services that allow users to publish content and interact with their audiences.

  • Prezi and Powerpoint Powerpoint Powerpoint
    Prezi and PowerPoint ––– overview and major differences Blog Post Date: July 14th, 2014 Category: Presentation skills Author: Ulrika Hedlund Source: http://www.businessproductivity.com/prezi-and-powerpoint-overview-and-major-differences If you attend/create a lot of presentations I’m sure you’re very familiar with Microsoft PowerPoint. Perhaps you have also seen or heard about Prezi? Prezi is a relatively new presentation software which allows you to create more free-flow, visually appealing presentations. In this week’s blog post I’ll give you an overview of the two presentation applications and share some of the major differences between them. History Prezi (which is the short form of presentation in Hungarian) was founded in Budapest, Hungary in 2009 by Adam Somlai-Fischer, Peter Halacsy and Peter Arvai. Adam, who has a background in architecture came up with the initial idea to use spatial pages – rather than slides to share information. The idea turned into a product and company called Prezi , which today has offices in Budapest and San Francisco. PowerPoint which was originally developed by a company called Forethought, Inc . and named “Presenter” was renamed “PowerPoint” in 1987. Later the same year it was acquired by Microsoft. Since then Microsoft has released numerous versions of PowerPoint, the latest version being PowerPoint 2013 . How to buy Prezi offers a free version as well as monthly/annual subscriptions. Anyone can sign up for a free online account with basic functionality. Using the free account all presentations you create, so called Prezis are available to the general public. If you want to create private Prezis or want more advanced functionality (for example to use the desktop offline client) you need to sign up for a Pro or Team account subscription.
