Query re. programs in Global Communication
Dear AoIR members I am facilitating the development of a new curriculum at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in the area of global communication, and I would greatly appreciate your insights regarding trends in the field. I would be particularly interested in your thoughts on: --which programs (anywhere in the world) you think are particularly vibrant and provide curricular leadership; --and what you think would be important to include in an undergraduate curriculum in global communication, whether or not such courses are currently included in program with which you are familiar. What we mean by "global communication" is still under negotiation, but we hope that the program will combine the study of communication, information, media and culture. Several people have already suggested that I look into the programs at Goldsmiths and LSE, but if you have other leads, I would be most grateful.

Dear AoIR's, dear friends, I am working on a new project to develop an e-learning graduate course in the area of digital culture and communication. I am gathering information and I will greatly appreciate your suggestions about best practices available around the globe and/or distinguished teachers using this approach (job opportunities will be available). Thanks in advance for your toughts, Monica -------------------------- AoIR Executive Committee -Appointed Seat
hi Monica - there are many excellent resources available about best practices for online learning. As a start, you can try this link: http://www.utoronto.ca/cat/clearinghouse/index.html It contains links to various resources. The Instructional Design area is quite good, in particular this link: http://www.umuc.edu/virtualteaching/vt_home.html which details various strategies for matching learning styles to available technologies. The peer reviewed online journal Educational Technology and Society (http://ifets.ieee.org/periodical/) is very good, and contains many articles and papers that bring an international pool of expertise together. Here are a couple of links I have used in past courses: * Applying Universal Design to College Instruction (http://www.facultyware.uconn.edu/files/UDI_principles.pdf) NB - this is a PDF file, not accessible, but not available in HTML format. * Learning from a Pilot Project to Put a College IT Curriculum Online, Novaczek and Gabriel, Educational Technology & Society 5 (1) 2002 (http://ifets.ieee.org/periodical/vol_1_2002/novaczek.html) - an excellent article on the change process of moving to an online or distributed learning environment, with a particular focus on the pedagogical value of using technologies in education. Particular attention to Universal Design and Accessibility issues would be two areas of high importance, followed closely by learning styles research and the development of online communities of practice. I have a short article on Extensible Online Learning here (http://luke.rcat.utoronto.ca/articles/idesign/Luke_ExtensibleOnlineLearning....) that details a model of e-learning we use (and have tested - see http://aahs.centennialcollege.ca/latack/healthcanada/) in clinical education. I am sure there ar others on this list who can point you in some useful directions as well. Robert Monica Murero wrote:

Dear all: You might look at the Joint Graduate Programme in Communication & Culture, a collaborative program run by York and Ryerson Universities in Canada: <http://www.yorku.ca/comcult/>. FWIW: one of the Danish students in a course I taught at IT-University last fall on intercultural communication online had spent a delightful and productive year there. It certainly prepared her well to address the topics and issues of the course.
I am a Master's student at Georgetown University in the Communication, Culture, and Technology Graduate program. My focus is intercultural / international communication - specifically CMC. More information on the program (which I recommend highly) is found at http://cct.georgetown.edu Bonnie Strong Children's Digital Media Center Georgetown University -----Original Message----- From: air-l-admin@aoir.org [mailto:air-l-admin@aoir.org] On Behalf Of Charles Ess Sent: Thursday, January 29, 2004 7:21 AM To: air-l@aoir.org Subject: Re: [Air-l] Query re. programs in Global Communication Dear all: You might look at the Joint Graduate Programme in Communication & Culture, a collaborative program run by York and Ryerson Universities in Canada: <http://www.yorku.ca/comcult/>.
