phaedrus » Blog Archive » Four Levels of Online Courses I have to agree with Joe that this class is either a level four or very close. Although, as far as the level one classes, I think very little learning takes place students just go through the steps. They may memorize a few things but I think the success for real learning is not present. Same goes for the level two. I do feel that learnign would take place in level three and four, mainly because they are not relying on present answers but searching and finding them. I do feel grading and teaching would be more difficult.

phaedrus » Blog Archive » Research Asks Questions I agree, although I must admit I never thought of Research as asking questions more towards answering the questions that I have. i am a person who does question everything, I am repeatly saying that I am not a mindless robot. I want to know why, how when and so forth. i teach the same to my kids. If everyone takes everything as is and does not question then there will never be change or anything new. I am have not competely changed my mind about research being the means to answers for the moment, til new questions and research provide different or new answers.
