Personal Warm E-Learning

Read  3 E-Learning Lessons Learned on the Road , and impressed with the first tip. It is really enlightening. This can go to one's teaching philosophy. Maybe I should add a section of distance education in my teaching philosophy. This is also a good research topic: how to make elearning courses warm and personal? The scenario is below: "I stopped in one of those airport shops to pick up a couple of knickknacks for my kids. The young woman who processed my sale really stood out.  It was one of the best customer service experiences that I‘ve had in recent years. ......What’s funny is that she really didn’t do anything out of the ordinary.  ...Yet, the experience with her really stood out.  Why? It’s because she connected with me in a real way.  She had a welcoming disposition, warm smile , and actually engaged me.  As a busy traveler, I felt less like a sales order being processed and more like a real person.  What she did was connect with me as a p...

Creative Commons for Educators: Impact of OER-Enabled Pedagogy on Language Instruction

Additional Resources for the CC Certificate Course

This article is a list of annotation of selected additional resources for each module in the CC Certificate course that I took June to August 2020.   Unit 1 What is creative commons HOW I LOST THE BIG ONE  by Lawrence Lessig, in Legal Affairs, March/April 2004.  Copyright status: All rights reserved.  Relevant section: Unit 1.1. The Story of Creative Commons, in the last paragraph of acquiring essential knowledge.  Annotation: This is a long article and I read it with interest to know the first-hand details of this case. Lawyers will definitely be interested in all the legal details behind. For me (not a lawyer), I read it with curiosity and found it a valuable resource. Lessig retold the story of his client Eldred--how he got started in digitizing and archiving classical works in the public domain and how he was frustrated by the further extended copyright term through CTEA. It helps readers to know the context of the Eldred vs. Ashcroft case much bet...
