Please join us for the Fall Games MOOC! http://youtu.be/LfXHmC0qeI0

This will be the fifth offering of the Games Based Learning MOOC. Our theme for the Fall Games MOOC is “Make, Hack and Game!” Week One will begin with an overview of the Maker Movement, Hackathons as problem based learning and the gamer and modding disposition.  For this iteration, we’ll be using Minecraft as our online building and maker space. We’ll also be connecting across the nation with educators and educational organizations exploring game based learning. So expect invitations to fun and engaging online events.  We have five questlines associated with the Fall Games MOOC. These begin on Week 3. Feel free to participate in any or all of these.

The Games MOOC is an open course for all educators. The model for participation is based on social network knowledge construction. Learners will be able to be active in the course in several ways from lurking (reading the discussions), to being engaged in game-play to actively creating content in the course with the MOOC designer and Advisory Group. We do understand that a participant’s level of activity may vary based on the individual’s interest in the weekly topics or other time commitments.

So feel free to lurk! As one of our MOOC Advisory Board members says, “Lurk and learn!”

If you have any questions, please contact Kae Novak at kae.novak@frontrange.edu or call 303-404-5470.

2013 Instructional Excellence Award Winners

CCCOnline is pleased to announce the 2013 Instructional Excellence Award Winners, who received their official recognition at last week's CONNECT conference. These outstanding individuals exemplify our academic mission and are shown to have demonstrated strengths in our core values and principles: Integrity, Strategic Planning, Quality, and Collaboration.

We’re proud these esteemed instructors are part of CCCOnline; and again, we thank them, as we thank every one of our dedicated instructors, for all the hard work, care, and commitment that goes into educating our students!

The 2013 Instructional Excellence Award Winners are:

Liberal Arts & Communication: Donna Wickham
Donna Wickham has been a model instructor and Content Expert for CCCOnline for the last decade; she has demonstrated instructional excellence and a flair for student-centered innovation. Also, she has shown an ability to draw on her unique experiences as jazz composer, performer, conductor, keyboardist and electric bass player to infuse her classes with an applied understanding of contemporary and historical musical perspectives.

Career & Technical Education: Lisa Wulf
 Lisa Wulf is dedicated to delivering the best educational experience possible to as many of her students as are willing. It is evident from her class communications that her students and their education are her number one priority.  Also, she has taken “ownership” of our Fundamentals class and mentors other instructors when they are teaching the class, making herself available to answer questions and helping them improve their classes.

Math: Roger Bower
Roger Bower has played an important role this past year in the Math Department’s course development process. He is very passionate about online learning and is a committed instructor always willing to take on extra challenging tasks to help us create a quality Math program.

Social Sciences: Wendy Lewis

Sciences: Judy Thomson 
Judy Thomson goes the extra mile to explain difficult concepts to her students, promotes student success through proactive interventions, and mentors other instructors each semester. She is eager to make the Anatomy & Physiology course the best it can be and does not compromise high academic standards.  She is a great asset to the team as a whole.

We would also like to recognize our additional 2013 nominees, to whom we also extend a sincere thank you for going above and beyond in their efforts to serve our students.

Carol Kramer
Carol Kramer is always willing to go that extra mile to help her students in her classes. Not only is she very active in her classes, she is also helping her students whether it be by phone, online whiteboards, or any other means of communication. She truly believes in her students and in return the students start to believe in themselves.

Mike Madson has made many contributions to the Science Department over the past year. Not only is he a great Astronomy instructor, he also served as a course developer for the redesign of both AST 101 and 102. He also made great contributions to our new “Science as A Process Lab” Module as a developer. He is easy and fun to work with and never fails to come up with innovative and exciting new ideas for course content.

Wendy Watson not only takes and applies her expertise of adult learning theory to her classroom instruction, she also models best practices for teaching young children within the online environment. Wendy truly embraces the students’ experiences in construction of his or her own learning. She is truly an asset to the CCCOnline ECE program.

Jeanne Wischer embodies academic excellence and is a leader among Life Science faculty. She demonstrates excellent communication and presence in her classrooms, exemplary effort creating lab tutorials and audio-visual guidance for her students, and success in course development. Jeanne’s commitment to CCCOnline students shows in her work. Her Program Chair looks for opportunities to share her work product with others so they may be inspired.

Summer Games MOOC

Please join us for the Summer Games MOOC!

This will be the fourth offering of the Games Based Learning MOOC. Sign-up is at  bit.ly/12rDKit The Summer Games MOOC will be divided into two parts. Each part is designed to be a standalone MOOC, so feel free to sign-up for only one part or both.

The Summer 2013 Games MOOC
Designed using the connectivism learning theory, the Summer Games MOOC is a Massive Online Open Course focusing on game based learning in education. Connectivist MOOCs or cMOOCs started in 2008 and were introduced to promote networking and knowledge creation among peers.  Since then,  there have been a series of these free connectivism open online courses offered. The Games MOOC is informed by their design and implementation.

Since it's a connectivism MOOC, it will not look like a course from Coursera, Canvas or have the feel of a commercial learning management system. Besides connectivism learning theory, this MOOC is informed by gaming guild culture and the Gamer Disposition by John Seely Brown http://blogs.hbr.org/cs/2008/02/the_gamer_disposition.html

Multi-Player Games and MMORPGs
June 3 - June 24, 2013.

Part I focuses on exploring collaboration, cross-functional teams and multi-player game based learning. We will take a close look at the features of multi-players games by going into MMORPGs (Massively Online Role-Playing Games) and also livestreaming from them. We will be exploring and even experiencing what makes these games so engaging.

in Part I, we look at World of Warcraft, EVEOnline,  and guilds that have developed in the sandbox genre games.

Immersive Environments
July 7 - July 29, 2013

Part II will be a tour of online and immersive environments for game based learning. There will be an emphasis on you building your game based learning PLN (Personal Learning Network). We will visit multiple virtual learning environments, virtual worlds, sandbox games and MMORPGs. In Part II, we will also be collaborating with the rgMOOC, or "Rhetoric and Composition: The Persuasive Power of Video Games as Paratexts being offered by Sherry Jones and Kate Guthrie Caruso http://storify.com/sherryjones/rgmooc-a-rhetoric-and-game-based-mooc

The Games MOOC is an open course for all educators. The model for participation is based on social network knowledge construction. Learners will be able to be active in the course in several ways from lurking (reading the discussions), to being engaged in game-play to actively creating content in the course with the MOOC designer and Advisory Group. We do understand that a participant’s level of activity may vary based on the individual’s interest in the weekly topics or other time commitments.

So feel free to lurk! As one of our MOOC Advisory Board member says, "Lurk and Learn!"

If you have any questions, please contact Kae Novak at kae.novak@frontrange.edu or call 303-404-5470.

June Professional Development Opportunities

Hi folks,

Here are the Professional Development opportunities we have coming up this week and during the month of June at CCCOnline. As always, you can register on the Training and Professional Development Database and find out more information about these and other opportunities on CCCOnline's Training and Professional Development web page.

Friday, May 31, 1:00 PM MST: Update From The CCCOnline Executive Director (Webinar)

Join us for an update from CCCOnline Executive Director Dr. Eric Lee about current events at CCCOnline.

Thursday, June 6, 1:00 PM MST: Let’s bring the library to the students! (Webinar)

Students seem to rely on Google when they’re doing research, and often the sources they end up using are just plain crummy. In online courses, it’s often difficult to persuade students to visit their local library. Our solution? We’re bringing the library and the librarian to the students via discussions in D2L. Come learn more about what’s going on with the embedded librarian project in HIS 101 & 102, ENG 121 & 122 and other courses. Facilitated by Mary Cash: Online Librarian, CCCOnline (1:00 PM - 2:00 PM MST)

Friday, June 28, 1:00 PM MST: Is There a Connection Between the Brain and Learning? (Webinar)

For generations, students of educational theory were steered away from brain research declaring it had nothing to offer to teaching and learning. Some critiques alleged that we simply lacked understanding of how the brain works and we should focus on what psychologists and cognitive studies have already revealed about teaching and learning. Within the past few decades, significant discoveries have occurred that have practical educational applications. During this webinar, participants will be introduced to the synergy of neuroscience and education along with their direct application to teaching. Facilitated by Norma Hollebeke: Associate Dean of Science, CCCOnline. (1:00 PM - 2:30 PM MST)

CCCS DevEd Redesign
