<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>I think that the reason not many people
replied is just because there isn’t anything out there: Last night in my dissertation
class, people were talking about all the “choices” they could make
about how far back they went in time for their lit review, and what views to
choose, and what schools to include . . they were looking at the canon as a
cornucopia, a vast area of “choice”. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>So I pulled out my book on Rough Rock by
Teresa McCarty and Mary Eunice Romero’s dissertation and showed how the
canon was very sparse, and Teresa and Mary Eunice used ethnography to provide
the background and context that in other documents was being established by the
lit review. I also talked about how the “feel” of the writing was
different, because when you are referencing, you can just say (Gibbs, 1995),
and people either know Raymond Gibbs, or they can go read him. But when its from
the People, you have to write a paragraph or two that includes what they say,
and how you see it contributing in your context. People were stunned to see it
from that point. I got to talk about gatekeeping, and how difficult it was to
create a canon before some Native critical pedagogists started writing and
pointing out differences between what Sandy Grande (Quecha) calls Red Pedagogy
and the expectations embedded in pedagogies for white and Black/African
American students, both of whom are very assimilationist. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>Of course, I should say that there isn’t
all that much good research on E-learning. There is a lot of theory and
posturing and hypothesizing, but people seem very reluctant to actually look at
approaches vs. results. What I have seen most distance people do is simply move
text onto the computer . . . not all that far removed from the dreaded
kill-and-drill. People don’t know how to do animations and sound, create
the rich materials that make learning so much easier. They are still into that,
Okay, now your challenge as a student is to translate and interpret this long
string of text into something that makes sense to you, and then, in the same
step as you a building the basic understandings, I want you to extrapolate to
new ideas and new understandings. (Doesn’t happen; too much cognitive
work in too short a space). <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:

subscribers. <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Salish</st1:PlaceName>
<st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Kootenia</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">College</st1:PlaceType></st1:place>
is probably the best place to start as they have been doing e-learning for a
number of years and have expanded their offerings to include a whole range of
courses. <br>
<br>
By all accounts, it seems that "e-learning" (or distance education)
is in itself a major undertaking.<br>
<br>
Take a look at the "E-Learning" link to get an idea on what is
possible: <br>
