ED641+Topics+of+Interest

Based on what you suggested when we met on campus, the following topics are listed below for discussion. The format would be different from what we had in the previous weeks in online discussions, I'd like each of us brainstorm and share updated resources we can find around these topics and share any thoughts/ideas from these resources. If this goes well, we can keep contributing to this site after the semester ends.

The original plan was to select and focus on one or two from the topics you suggested. However, I found that all the five topics are interesting and meaningful so I decided to change the format of the discussion and keep all the topics:  Post your general thoughts or questions (for anyone) here on this main page, and post the resources related to each topic on the subpages. Add your name (or initials) after your message.--jm
 * Online Course Design
 * Learning Management Systems (Adding LMS more effectively to middle/secondary public education or specific content areas)
 * Professional Development Using Web Technologies (I combined two topics regarding professional development: online prof. development & prof. development using LMS & Skype)
 * Outcomes Assessment
