This was posted in one of the NACOL forums earlier today.
The North American Council for Online Learning (NACOL) is pleased to announce the release of Using Online Learning for At-Risk Students and Credit Recovery, the second report in the 2008 Promising Practices in Online Learning series, researching and highlighting case studies and promising practices for K-12 online learning.Susan Patrick, President of NACOL, states, “When students are struggling, online learning opens new pathways to success. Online learning is expanding access and opportunities for schools to offer engaging alternative programs to build knowledge and skills – helping students become ready for graduation and prepare them for new opportunities in lifelong learning.”
As online programs increasingly focus on at-risk students and credit recovery, educators are finding new ways for reaching students and understanding how to overcome specific issues. This promising practices paper explores the issues and solutions for credit recovery through online learning case studies.
According to author John Watson, of Evergreen Consulting Associates, “As online learning moves past the early adopter phase, the growth of online programs focused on at-risk students or credit recovery has redefined how educational technology can be used to address the needs of all students, from advanced students in search of Advanced Placement or dual-credit courses, to at-risk students trying to find the right instructional mix to fit their learning styles.”
The NACOL Promising Practices in Online Learning Series is supported by K12 Inc., Apex Learning, Florida Virtual School, and Connections Academy.

Please consider submitting a proposal to this online, free conference
for teachers by teachers. Higher education proposals welcome! I am
convening the Prove It! research strand and we really need quality
submissions in that strand.Sincerely,
Sheryl Nussbaum-Beach
http://21stcenturycollaborative.comSecond Call for Proposals
http://k12onlineconference.orgThis is our second call for proposals for the third annual “K12 Online
Conference” for educators around the world interested in the use of
Web 2.0 tools in classrooms and professional practice. We’ve made two
changes to the initial call so please take note. This year’s
conference is scheduled for October 20-24 and October 27-31 of 2008,
and will include a pre-conference keynote during the week of October
13. The conference theme for 2008 is “Amplifying Possibilities.”Participation in the conference (as in the past) is entirely free.
Conference materials are published in English and available for
worldwide distribution and use under a Creative Commons license. Some
changes in the requirements for presentations are being made this year
and are detailed below.The deadline for proposal submission has been extended to July 11,
2008. Call for Proposal Submission FormOVERVIEW: As in past years, K12 Online 2008 will feature four
“conference strands,” two each week. Two presentations will be
published in each strand each day, Monday through Friday, so four new
presentations will be available each day over the course of the two
weeks. Including the pre-conference keynote, a total of 41
presentations will be published. Each twenty minute (or less)
presentation will be shared online in a downloadable format and
released simultaneously via the conference blog
(www.k12onlineconference.org,) the conference Twitter account, and the
conference audio and video podcast channels. All presentations will be
archived online for posterity. A total of 82 past presentations are
currently available from K12 Online 2006 and K12 Online 2007. If you
are planning to submit a proposal, please review archived
presentations from past years to determine what you might offer that
is new and builds on previous work. A variety of live events will also
be planned during and following the weeks of the conference.Please make note that we have moved the “Prove It” strand to Week 1
and the “Kicking it up a Notch” strand to Week 2.FOUR STRANDS: Week 1 Strand A: Prove it
Although some teachers are excited to “amplify possibilities” using
computer technologies, Web 2.0 tools, and 21st Century learning
strategies in their classrooms, how do we know if these innovative
instructional strategies are really working? Since information
technologies and emerging brain research continue to rapidly evolve
and change, it is challenging as well as vital to find current,
meaningful research to undergird the learning initiatives we are using
in our classrooms. What are “best practices” for teaching and learning
with the new participatory media? This strand will share research
results from the field that support students in using knowledge to
communicate, collaborate, analyze, create, innovate, build community
and solve problems. In addition, successful methods for developing
and/or delivery of action research projects or research-based
instruction in today’s digital world will be explored. In some cases,
participants may be invited to participate in ongoing or beginning
research on Web 2.0 tool use, constructivist pedagogy, or other 21st
Century research issues. Educational research about emerging
professional development strategies, contemporary learning theory,
systemic school reform, and other current themes of educational change
are also appropriate for inclusion in this strand.Help us to examine
such research questions as: o What does research in learning science,
instructional design, informal learning, and other fields tell us
about today’s learner and their success? o What design features must
teachers incorporate into their instructional activities to support
meaningful learning? o What is the role of assessment in today’s
changing classroom? How should assessment be structured to
meaningfully assess student achievement in the context of the modern
classroom?Strand B: Getting Started
Everything you wanted to know about getting started with web 2.0
technologies for learning but were afraid to ask. The presentations in
this strand will focus on specific, free tools for newcomers. Whether
you have one classroom computer or a laptop for every student, digital
technologies can provide new opportunities to connect with other
learners, create new and exciting knowledge products, and engage
students in an expanded learning process beyond the traditional
“boundaries of the bell.” Teachers first introduced to Web 2.0 tools
are often unaware of the new possibilities for teaching and learning
afforded by the Read/Write Web. Presentations in this strand will
amplify and model what is possible in terms of pedagogy, student
creation of content, and collaboration. Practical classroom
implementation ideas will be emphasized. Presentations will focus more
on the ways new tools can be used to engage students in learning,
rather than focusing exclusively on how specific tools are used. If
you’ve ever felt like everyone else knows more than you about teaching
with technology and you need help getting started, this is the strand
for you.Week 2
Strand B: Leading the Change
Innovative approaches to teaching and learning using web 2.0 tools are
often utilized by a limited number of “early adopter” teachers in our
schools. This strand seeks to amplify ways educators in a variety of
contexts are serving as constructive catalysts for broad-based
pedagogic change using Web 2.0 technologies as well as
student-centered, project-based approaches to learning. Presentations
in this strand will both showcase successful strategies as well as
amplify critical issues which must be addressed for innovative
learning methods to be adopted by teachers, librarians, and
administrators on a more widespread basis. These issues may include
(but are not limited to) issues of copyright, fair use and
intellectual property, Internet content filtering, student privacy and
safety issues, administrator expectations for teacher utilization of
Web 2.0 tools, pilot initiatives utilizing key Web 2.0 technologies in
different content areas, and innovative ways students and teachers are
providing just-in-time support as well as formal learning
opportunities for each other focusing on Web 2.0 tools. Successful
approaches for both large and small schools, in rural as well as urban
settings, will be included. This strand will explore and amplify a
menu of practical ideas for educators in diverse contexts who want to
continue amplifying possibilities in our schools.Strand B: Kicking It Up a Notch
You’ve been using blogs, wikis and other technologies for awhile but
perhaps haven’t seen them transform your classroom and the learning
environment for your students in the ways you think they can. This
strand amplifies ways new technologies can be used to transform
classroom and personal learning. Rather than merely replicating
traditional, analog-based learning tasks, how can digital technologies
permit teacher-leaders to “infom” learning to add greater
interactivity, personal differentiation, and multi-modal exploration
of curriculum topics? Fresh new approaches to using Web 2.0 tools for
learning and authentic assessment will be highlighted. Presentations
will explore innovative ways Web 2.0 tools can be blended together to
help students create, collaborate, and share the knowledge safely on
the global stage of the Internet. Maybe it’s time to share your
insights and experiences with your teaching community. Join these
sessions to gain insights on amplifying the possibilities of learning
in your classroom and/or your professional practice.CALL FOR PROPOSALS: This call encourages all educators, both
experienced and novice with respect to Web 2.0 learning tools, to
submit proposals to present at this conference via this link. Take
this opportunity to share your successes, strategies, and tips in
“amplifying the possibilities” of web 2.0 powered learning in one of
the four conference strands.The deadline for proposal submissions is July 11, 2008 at midnight
GMT. (NOTE: THIS HAS BEEN EXTENDED FROM THE ORIGINALLY ANNOUNCED
DEADLINE OF JUNE 23.) You will be contacted in late July regarding
your proposal’s status. The conveners reserve to right to reposition a
presentation in another strand if they believe it is best placed
elsewhere. As in past years, conveners will utilize blind review
committees to evaluate all submissions.Presentations for K12Online08
must conform to the following requirements:1. Presentations must be a single media file of twenty minutes or
less in length.
2. Presentations must be submitted in a downloadable and
convertable file format (mp3, mov, WMV, FLV, m4a, or m4v.) Presenters
wanting to use an alternative format should contact their respective
strand convener in advance.
3. Presentations are due two weeks prior to the week the relevant
strand begins. (Week 1 presentations are due Monday, October 6, Week 2
presentations are due Monday, October 13.)
4. Presentations must be submitted only one time and on time. Early
submissions are welcomed! Repeat submissions (with changes and
additional edits) will not be accepted. Presenters should proof
carefully before submitting!
5. All presentations will be shared under a Creative Commons
Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported license.The following are optional but encouraged presentation elements:
1. Prior to September 13th, presenters are invited to submit a
“teaser” (maximum video or audio file length: 3 minutes) about their
presentation. This can be any type of online artifact and does not
have to be downloadable. Examples may include videos, animations,
posters, audio interviews, etc.*
o In addition to marketing the presentation, teasers can be
designed to encourage and solicit community input related to the
presentation topic in advance of the presentation submission deadline.
o View teaser examples from 2007 at
http://k12online07.wikispaces.com/Teasers1. Supplementary materials supporting presentations are welcomed.
These can be wikis with supporting material links, linked examples of
student projects, school district exemplary initiatives, social
bookmarking collections, and/or other related content.
2. Follow-up projects and/or live interaction opportunities for
conference presentations which further amplify the possibilities of
the presentation topic may be included. (This can include sharing and
building of content prior to, during and after the conference.)As you draft your proposal, you may wish to consider the presentation
