why only limit your self 

what are some powerpoint online websites you use.

what on line profile test have you used?

What is the acronym, " LMS"?

I have used different colored folder for my lesson plans of the different classes I teach. This helps me stay organized and help reduce stress and time when preparing for my classes.

How does this effect schools that require a more Hands on type of learning like automotive ?

I was in grade school during the 1970's. I remember being given the direct learning for English grammar in the 5th grade. The intent was that all grammar topics from sentance structure to punctuation, verbs nouns, etc... were broken down into indevidual "laerning modules". The teacher gave a brief lesson then the student were allowed to take the module and do the learning assignments. The intent was that student would progress at their own pace. I can tell you that at the age of 10 I couldn't care lass about learning grammer. I was allowed to simply not move on. There was no push to get me through all the material and as a a result I never did learn proper  grammar or sentance structure.

In our technical school we use some limited "on-line" self directed study. It has been my personal observation that this new generation is no more self motivated now then I was then. If it looks like work or if it's something they "need" to learn they are just as likely not to do it no matter how convenient you make it.

Greetings all,

I've been researching lesson planning software, templates and web portals for a while now and have yet to hit upon a satisfactory solution. Anyone have a favorite they would like to share and why?

Thanks in advance!!

Why are adult learners so diffrent from high school students?

Adaptive learning exams have already been developed where the difficulty level of an exam is tailored according to the student performance during the exam. If a student attempts a "medium difficulty" question successfully, he/ she will be given a harder question to test him for the next level of knowledge. A traditional exam is a mix of mostly medium, some hard and some difficult questions and all students have to attempt the same number of question. Suppose an exam is made of 100 questions but in an adaptive learning exam, a student does 560 hard questions correctly, we have achieved the exam objective and student has performed good to excellent. While on the other hand, if a student has missed 50 easy questions, there is no point in testing more.

The next era of education will have blended models where core course objectives can be taught in the traditional environment and the rest can be adaptive learning.

Adaptive learning is a good tool for individual student progress and the cognitive understanding of the course objectives. The softwares will recognize what was missed by the student and can tailor to make another learning material or exam to teach/test those objectives that need to be learned.

We could move the lecture material to the adaptive model and have more time to work on lab based instruction.

Job announcements do not appear to be reflecting the points made in this course of instruction. For example, adaptive is used as follows: Working Conditions:  Mental Demands/Physical Demands/Environmental Factors: Move small stacks of textbooks, media equipment, desks, and other classroom or adaptive equipment. In other words, being able to implement adaptive learning is not part of the job -- it is not a topic for consideration.

The module thoroughly addressed appropriate ways to offer extra credit assignments.

Never thought there was so much in preparing a lesson

I am interested in finding ways to use Adaptive Learning while training students in a specific skill set. How do you think this can be accomplished?

How does adaptive learning differ from a well planned on line course?

How do you keep students within a time frame for a course?

What about students who just want to goof off?

MS-Office has an add-on called Office Mix.  This can be used to make PowerPoint interactive.  Below is a link that explain Office Mix in detail.

As a new instructor, I'm finding my biggest challenge is being able to come up with constructive ways of using class time. Generally, I have 3 or 4 days per subject with about 3 hours to fill each day. Since I am teaching at a vocational college, the subject matter to be covered is fairly limited. That means I run out of things to say by the second day. Any advice for coming up with lesson plans that will cover all of my allotted time?

Among students who are motivated and committed to attaining an education, what are the significant problems that adaptive learning may solve?

Can gameification be over used
