To: college@findhorn.org, colleges anywhere! Subject: I am Ready to Offer Class I am ready to offer a class from http://www.wiredbrain.net for students from anywhere - I have the site, I have the students (or can get them), I have the content, ( use http://www.altravista.digital.com/ with the search words pflaump synergy)


The class (could be) in sociology, "Internet Consciousness", Human Development on the web - social psychology, technology, economics, politics, ecology as group projects then produce their own pages on the site.


The students sign up with you, you collect the fees and keep the records, I get the regular adjunct payment.

The students get a site under /Golden_Globe in a topic group and produce their own home pages.

The material is FTP to the site at volant in California ( I am in Florida ) We will have, I believe soon, one of the first sites where the group can work together as if they were on a LAN - all see the same text, talk on chat, conference, transfer files directly from their PC to those in the group, and act as if they are in a true workgroup (WGPO) and exchange system. For this to work they will need to have a direct provider, PPP, Windows 95 ( maybe Mac will work) (See Newbie page) See Bill Gates "

The Empire Strikes Back"...also in Internet.htm in NEW


The class is not traditional - the grade is based on points, the work is there for the whole world to see in their files. See Class.htm in /~synergy/NEW and material in /document/ethos.... Synergy means everyone benefits - RE: Applied Social Relations

Hi Peter:
Remote Professor looking for credit:

Please forward to the right person, the President, Dean,

Adult, Continuing Education, or Chairperson of Social Science,

I am interested in an remote adjunct professor's job teaching a class using the remote system.

I have been learning the technology as well as preparing the class and marketing it.


Then I will ask others to join as free enterprise Professors, Instructors, guides - we need teachers of hypetext, web-masters, video and graphics, psychology of virtual groups, education, social sciences, humanities, natural sciences, et al..to join us in a network of learning - THE LEARNING ORGANIZATION.

RE: Starrts in first week of Jan. 1996,

Introduction to Sociology and/or Applied Social Relations

American Federal Government Pflaum 3 Credits about $140.00.(we don't know about out-of-state fees) Credit given by any state college is good at any other college in Florida, In-service teacher credit, and fully transferable. You have to register by mail.


The point system (explained in detail in workbook). You need 100 points (about one hours work = 1 point) to qualify for the "A", but the instructor has to make a judgment that the work is for good quality. (Having your work on the web is very motivating). B is more than 80 points, C is more than 50. Points are earned by

) A review (not a summary) of the readings in textbooks with a central theme ( up to 2 pts)

) An activity in the workbook (there are 15) which requires group interactions. ( up to 2 pts)

) A personal journal on the theme. (2 pts)

Getting it together bonus - outside reading - (2 pts) everyone in the group has their work in on time - plus extra- articles.

A minimum of 12 units at a possible 8 pts each = 96

A maximum of 30 pts in bonus projects - graphics, articles, special topics, films etc.


The work will on the home page under Sociology/group name. Groups are less than seven people. American Federal Government is the same structure but different books.

I am sure to say that having Dr. Pflaum as a teacher, this will be an excellent class for any student. Dr. Pflaum's methods of teaching are very good; his lectures are grade A and the manner in which he covers the material is very inciteful. I strongly recommend anyone who can read these words. Take this class. You won't regret it.

This is what I do here - (course outline, tests etc.) and what I get out of it is all set from the beginning (it doesn't work but we keep trying) I don't think that way. I talk to them, and let them talk to each other: Lets see what they are interested in, what they are good at, let's try to fit the subject and the student (job and person) into a new personal context. Make it up as we go along. That's what by tutor at LSE did, the one-on-one, who are you and what are your interest and needs. If you group so that they are all busy with group activity, again with suggestions but little direction, then you have time to do the one-on-one that really works (most of the time). Small schools work this way.

But the disorder can get out of hand. No freedom without responsibility ! But I figure they have had a lot of that 99% fixed systems that don't work - after all they don't know anything (I mean anything much ) and can't do much. So it's not working. Maybe it did work but it doesn't, so there is some room to experiment, I'm not messing with something that works. Motivation is KEY (if you don't care, I don't care, and the system doesn't care )

The educational material is under ETHOS - because values is everything (not winning) but how you play the game ?

My pages are a mess - visit and help me get them into SOME order..

The more I try the more scatter.. It's my nature or the subject or iT JUST GETS OUT OF HAND - a high tolerance for CHAOS.. maybe even a love - CREATIVITY comes from making odd connections, thinking in new ways about old problems, and we sure have enough of these.

.

Just a brief note to report that I visited the land of Synergy and I loved your emphasis on ethics.

Incompetent as I am, I wasn't able to reformat one other article I tried to read (lines went on forever, into the Far East of the screen) so I had to withdraw until further notice. I'm doing some additional reading on Mosaic and will eventually be back. (What are you doing with Mosaic ? Can you download , save file to, then open it in text editor, Peter )

Thanks, also, for your offer to post my possible announcement on your page 2. If I ever succeed at putting together the message, I will let you know. (Two of the hardest things for me are deciding what it is I really want to do and selling myself).

I've been thinking about this since you first offered - and I had a sort of vision last night of what I might put together for such a homepage, but I don't think I'm ready to do it quite yet.

I can sure send ideas, but I want to learn this html stuff myself. Do you use any special editor or just Word?

The rule-checking editors seem like a worthy concept. (WORD 6 has an free add on called MS Assistant - not very good but works It's not hard LEARN BY DOING I find it has little faults like if you quick save it turns the file into binary and the text is gone ! IF I CAN DO IT ANYONE CAN)

I can accept that if we're going to talk about distance education, and the role of communication in development and so fourth, your site is at least an example of how it might be. So if we can get a discussion/ evaluation/ critique going among these various folks (who have been awfully quiet this past week! we could think about a group page! as a demo DE/ constructivist thing.

At this point, I'm not sure it's what the present list is into, though.

But, I thought I asked to be removed from your 'combined' mailings - getting your stuff once is quite enough! -meaning, I'm looking for the *thinking* that drives your 'narrowcast', not the results so much.

My style is working with groups that look up instructions for the activities.

They have up to 15 hands-on active learning experiences. It's like lab reports.

I use a point system, (so many points for the grade) a portfolios and journals for presentations ( few if any tests - of course multi-choice test are easy but not very useful). Another plan would be to split all income 60/40 (

The instructor gets 60% but I cover all the communications cost) No classroom, no utilities, no parking, just sign in (on a home page we provide for registration ) pay your fee and get your grades and transcripts (which we E-mail).

What is different about the class is the active participation learning style that suits the INTERNET. Student will need AOL or other service (Netcom, prodigy, NETSCAPE PPP, CompuServe, etc)

There are now thousands of on ramps and millions with web browsers.
