  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Free Applications
    1 Free Applications Hundreds of Apps with Potential to Enhance Professional Development, Technical Assistance, and Dissemination Activities and Results By Larry Edelman [email protected] Note: This document (v. 9 – 2/28/11) is updated frequently. Updates and related discussions are posted at: http://exploringtech.wordpress.com/ Why should we use technology for PD, TA, and Dissemination? • In particular, technology can help us to efficiently, effectively, and creatively: 1. Create content; 2. Share knowledge; and 3. Build and support relationships. We should consider ALL applications that are available to us. This includes applications that are expensive, moderately priced, inexpensive (shareware), and free (freeware). This includes software that we download to our computers and software that runs on the web. Some expensive applications enable us to us to communicate in very unique and effective ways, while the functions of other expensive applications can be easily replicated, or even improved upon, by the use of freeware. Likewise, some free applications are all we need to get the job done, while other free applications have significant limitations or involve the use of paid advertisements that detract from our purposes. I use some relatively expensive applications for tasks such as video editing and authoring online learning modules. But I also use many free applications for things such as document sharing, web conferencing, video conferencing, media transcoding, audio editing, screen capturing, media posting, and building and hosting wikis, blogs, and web sites. Why, in particular, should we explore free applications? • Sometimes, free applications are all that we need. Why purchase or license expensive software when there are free solutions? • The budgets in PD and TA programs are being dramatically reduced.
