In the fifth season kick-off, hosts Kelvin Thompson and Thomas Cavanagh reflect on what makes them crazy about the field of online education and what online practitioners might do to remedy the situation. This is a great episode to share and discuss with colleagues inside and outside the field.

Inspired by the breakout podcast Serial, a few years ago two digital learning leaders at the University of Central Florida created their own podcast—focused on online learning instead of true crime. It’s called the Teaching Online Podcast, or TOPcast, and co-host Thomas Cavanagh says he is driven by his quest to figure out one of the grand challenges of higher education: how to use technology to raise the quality of instruction while lowering costs. Not everyone thinks that’s possible, of course, and even Cavanagh, vice provost for digital learning at the University of Central Florida, admits that edtech can spark plenty of new ethical challenges along the way. Each month, he and co-host Kelvin Thompson executive director of the Center for Distributed Learning at UCF, give their analysis of trends in online learning over a cup of fancy coffee—and these days their fans often send them beans to brew and fuel the show. EdSurge connected with Cavanagh (online of course) to talk about what he has learned from all those podcast chats, and about how his sidegig as a detective novelist shapes his work in campus innovation.

Abstract Learning management systems (LMS) such as Blackboard and Canvas provide a foundation for instructors to design online learning experiences. In recent years, the functionality of most LMSs has expanded to offer more flexibility, primarily by allowing external tools to be integrated. Tools such as Twitter, YouTube, and Quizlet have the potential to increase learners’ access to content, foster interaction with others in the community, and assess learning in diverse ways. In this session, we will provide examples of how these tools can support sound pedagogical practices, and encourage attendees to explore integrations in their online courses. Specifically, an instructor shares experiences of utilizing several integration tools within Canvas online courses. Presenters Amanda Groff, Ph.D. Associate Lecturer of Anthropology College of Sciences College of Education and Human Performance University of Central Florida Amanda T. Groff is an Associate Lecturer in the Anthropology Department in the College of Sciences at UCF. Over the years, Dr. Groff has integrated various tools and strategies to engage online learners in her undergraduate archaeology and cultural courses. Dr. Groff was awarded the Chuck. D. Dziuban Excellence in Online Teaching Award (2012), as well as a Scholarship of Teaching and Learning Award (2014) for her research on the integration of Twitter into online courses. John Raible, M.A. Instructional Designer Center for Distributed Learning University of Central Florida John Raible is an Instructional Designer with the Center for Distributed Learning and an Adjunct Professor in the College of Education and Human Performance. He facilitates faculty with the design, development, and delivery of online and mixed-mode courses.
