Video Primers in an Online Repository for e-Teaching and Learning (V-PORTAL)

Online learning is exploding around the planet from K-12 to higher education to corporate and government training environments. Everyone is attempting dealing with this teaching and learning transformation. The School of Education at Indiana University is no exception. As it expanded its online offerings, officials there asked were concerned that few faculty members had been trained how to teach online. The objective was high quality online course development and delivery. To address this issue, IU administrators asked Professor Bonk to create a series of short (10 minute or less) video primers on online teaching and learning. One year in production, these 27 videos were rolled out in late September 2010. They are dubbed the V-PORTAL or "Video Primers in an Online Repository for e-Teaching and Learning." The topics of the video in the V-PORTAL include managing an online course, providing feedback, building community, finding quality supplemental materials, online visual learning, podcast, wiki, and blogging tools and applications, blended learning, global connections and colorations, assessment, plagiarism, and trends for the future (see below for a complete listing). Issues, objectives, and examples for each topic are addressed in each of the 27 shows.

How to Use: Whether you are interested in emerging technologies or innovative pedagogies, this video primer series is for you, What's more, you can watch them on the Web for free from anywhere in the world. You can view them while sitting at home in your pajamas and fuzzy slippers while sipping some hot chocolate, eating lunch at your office desk, or relaxing at a mountain or lakeside retreat. Each lesson is delivered to you in 10 minutes or less. You might give certificates out to employees who watch and reflect on how they might use ideas found in each one of them. Alternatively, you can request Curt Bonk, the host and developer of all 27 shows, to give you and your staff a personal overview of any of these topics. Such a session--live or online--might last just 15 or 30 minutes or expand into a 1, 2, or 3 day workshop. In any case, your instructors, instructional designers, and administrators will be much better prepared for the highly interesting and complex world of online teaching and learning. Enjoy these free video primers in the V-PORTAL! Nowhere else on the planet will you find such an assembly of knowledge related to online teaching and learning.

Acknowledgment: We want to acknowledge and publicly express thanks to the School of Education at Indiana University in Bloomington which funded this highly valuable and momentous production effort. In particular, the IU School of Education Instructional Consulting office and the Instructional Systems Technology (IST) Department played key roles in their planning, generation, and dissemination.
