Introduction

Despite growing interest in online tools for education, these tools did not arise necessarily with educational purposes in mind. As with other supports for teaching and learning, online tools could be of greater benefit to learners with the application of pedagogical principles and effective instructional design (Cuellar, 2002; Xu & Morris, 2007). However, many [...]

This paper provides reflections on several presentations given in our current course of studies. One of these presentations was given by myself on the topic of online learning, another was given by a classmate on the topic of group work, and another was given by a group of classmates on the topic of multiple intelligences.

Over the course of five years as a post-secondary instructor, I gradually incorporated my ongoing learning in education into practical form. Applications of this learning included curriculum development, lesson planning, classroom methods, and assessment development. Over the last year, I had the opportunity to refine this work further and to consider it in the context [...]

This paper reflects on teaching model presentations given as part of the current graduate studies course. This paper provides a critique and analysis of social models of teaching as presented by the author and his team-mates, with a discussion of the lesson plan, strategies, and lesson effectiveness. Critiques, analyses, and comparisons are made of teaching [...]

This paper examines the classroom teaching practice, influences, and philosophy of an individual instructor at a Canadian community college. The instructor was observed in a classroom setting during a normally scheduled class time. During a subsequent interview, the instructor provided his reflections on this instance of classroom teaching and on his teaching techniques and philosophy [...]

My teaching philosophy is guided by a deep appreciation for the pursuit of knowledge. My work today in education is a philosophical analogue of and continuation to my work in media and publishing industries earlier in my career. Through my career, my work has reflected themes in media and culture, cognition, communication and knowledge tools [...]

Role-playing as a teaching model was brought to contemporary prominence in large part through Fannie Shaftel and George Shaftel (1970)⁠. Their advocacy of role-play was based on research in the problem-story model, simulations, and game theory.

In their research, Fallon and Watts (2001)⁠ consider how best to make use of portfolios as learning assessment instruments and how they may be of value to education.

In their research paper, Mitchell, Reilly, Solnosky, Bramwell, & Lilly (2004) present evidence that supports the hypothesis that self-selected teams for group assignments effectively decrease the success of the group work. The research considers the effect of self-selected groups as compared to teacher-selected groups, and it compares the effects of such groupings within low achieving [...]

This paper examines the role that Canadian community colleges can play to meet the social justice needs of their constituencies. It considers the meaning of social justice to the stakeholders of the community college. It describes how a community college can model the ideals of social justice to its students and to the community at [...]
