This seems like essential digital literacies work that should be part of all educational levels...otherwise, we run the risk of always being mere consumers of knowledge/content services that may not support our agency.

This is such a crucial point...how much content and knowledge is buried in obsolete file types? In the end, HTML may be one of the most robust file types, as well as being one of those that is most easily made accessible. Even the PDF we are reading here has layers of complexity beyond HTML that may make it less available in the future.

Is this the research question for this work?

Can you find and add your answer to each of these as an annotation in the document below?

1. Find the research question: What is the researcher trying to answer?
2. Find the problems and calls to research: What is one problem or challenge was the researcher trying to address? What prompted this research?
3. Find the due diligence: What did the researcher do (or look at) to see if the challenge could be addressed?
4. Find the measurements: How did the researcher know that their change isn made an impact on the challenge?
5. Find the big picture: What existing factors or barriers may have also impacted this challenge?
6. Find the variables and methods: What data, people, or information did the researcher access to in order to address the challenge?

Does this question/reason extend to other disciplines as well?

Reminds me of something I've been thinking about from Teju Cole:

All technology arises out of specific social circumstances. In our time, as in previous generations, cameras and the mechanical tools of photography have rarely made it easy to photograph black skin. The dynamic range of film emulsions, for example, were generally calibrated for white skin and had limited sensitivity to brown, red or yellow skin tones. Light meters had similar limitations, with a tendency to underexpose dark skin. And for many years, beginning in the mid-1940s, the smaller film-developing units manufactured by Kodak came with Shirley cards, so-named after the white model who was featured on them and whose whiteness was marked on the cards as “normal.” Some of these instruments improved with time. In the age of digital photography, for instance, Shirley cards are hardly used anymore. But even now, there are reminders that photographic technology is neither value-free nor ethnically neutral. In 2009, the face-recognition technology on HP webcams had difficulty recognizing black faces, suggesting, again, that the process of calibration had favored lighter skin.

We are revisiting this study and broader topic at OLC Innovate 2019! Please annotate and help guide our roundtable discussion.

Session Title The Rising Profile Of The Chief Online Learning Officer

Date Thursday, April 4th

Time 9:45 AM to 10:30 AM

Presenters Josh Herron (Anderson University), Jonathan Lashley (Boise State University), Benjamin Deaton (Anderson University)

Location Cottonwood 10-11

Brief Abstract Facilitators of this roundtable seek to spur conversation beyond an article that they published in 2016 on "The Chief Online Learning Officer: Competencies, Roles, and Trajectories." A discussion around these findings will help continue to shape the role, prepare those seeking such roles, and support those currently in it.

In thinking about the questions I’m raising in my presentation at OLC Innovate 2019, let's start by asking the question whether we think the "access hypothesis" is a significant component in measuring the impact of OER on student learning?

points awarded for a specific FERPA stanza. Unclear what kinds of educational records may be made available to the service.

this, in essence, waters down basically everything about a privacy policy. It is at the point of 3rd-party involvement where the wheels fall off the cart.

also recent update.

fairly recent effective date for this policy is a good sign. some of these from other companies can get rather stale.

tone is interesting. It's engaging, but the 'thou shalt not' nature of these assertions, combined with this language, is a little intimidating, also. It would be nice to see this same tone applied to a summary statement of how Poll Everywhere was looking out for user data protection, etc.

this is a good way to start.
