Implementing
The practice of implementing tools for specific learners
Reflecting on the Development of an Online Learning Cafe
This project was completed in the course Constructivist Strategies for E-Learning (ETEC 530). As I discussed in my other artifact reflection for ETEC 530, this course was one of the most influential courses I took during my MET journey, because of the course's focus on knowledge creation (epistemology) and active, authentic learning. This was the only online research cafe that I developed within MET. Essentially an online research cafe works as a mini informal workshop where learners bring a topic into the cafe, and discuss the topics within the cafes that they sign up for. I created my cafe on Constructivism and Online Learning Feedback. Feedback is an important aspect of learning, but it can be hard to provide in online contexts, particularly elaboration feedback which is intended to help guide and scaffold learning.

ImplementingThe practice of implementing tools and strategies for specific users is an important skill of educational technologists. And being mindful of users is an important part of the PCK of TPCK as "PCK is concerned with the representation and formulation of concepts, pedagogical techniques, knowledge of what makes concepts difficult or easy to learn, knowledge of students' prior knowledge, and theories of epistemology" (Mishra & Koehler, 2006, p. 1027).
