> NAME: Jean S. Mason
> INSTITUTIONAL AFFILIATION: University of Toronto
> MAILING ADDRESS: 89A Gloucester St., Toronto, ON. M4Y-1M2

> NO CO-PRESENTER
> A/V REQUIREMENTS: Ideally, a computer with Internet connection and LCD
> projector. If that's not available I could work with a PC computer with a
Zip
> drive and projector. If that's not available I could bring lap top, but
would
> need projector.
>
> NOTE: You asked presenters to choose a first and second choice of format.
I'm
> happy to do that, but my presentation would vary depending on the time
> available, so I've had to create 2 proposals as follows:
>
> FIRST PROPOSAL FOR 20 MINUTE SLOT:
> TITLE: The World Wide Web: A Brave New Way to Resist Teaching and Promote
> Learning
>
> If offered 20 minutes, I would focus on how the Computer Communications
> course
(<http://www3.sympatico.ca/jsmason>http://www3.sympatico.ca/jsmason) I
> designed for the Professional Writing Program at University of Toronto
> resists teaching yet promotes learning.
>
> I would spend approximately the first 10 minutes of the session showing
> participants highlights from my course website that demonstrate how the
> hypertextual and multimedial nature of the World Wide Web provides an ideal
> medium to help teachers shift the responsibility of learning towards the
> student . Specifically, I would focus on how particular elements of the
> content and structure of the site are designed precisely to:
> * motivate self-directed learning
> * stimulate interactivity
> * promote literacy
> * encourage team building
> * inspire creativity
> * require accountability and self-evaluation
> * accomplish demanding and complex learning goals
>
> I would spend the remaining 10 minutes of the session animating a discussion
> and addressing questions. Each participant would receive a handout with the
> site URL and my email address.
>
> I suggest that Inkshed 2000 participants could be emailed the hotlink to the
> Computer Communications site several weeks in advance of the conference to
> give them time to familiarize themselves with the site.
>
> SECOND PROPOSAL FOR 5 MINUTE SLOT
> TITLE: Resisting Teaching by Resisting Grading
>
> If offered 5 minutes, I would focus on the very specific aspect of
Evaluation
> in my Computer Communications course. I would demonstrate how the evaluation
> scheme I have designed transforms the traditional ritual of teacher-imposed
> evaluation into dynamic self-evaluation on the part of the student. In
> particular, I would emphasize how this scheme is especially effective in a
> course, such as Computer Communications, where students have widely varying
> degrees of (technological) abilities. I would note, however, that this
scheme
> is adaptable to most courses.
>
> Specifically, I would use the 5 minute slot to:
> * show participants the Evaluation Criteria for the course
>
> <http://www3.sympatico.ca/jsmason/evaluation1.htm>http://www3.sympatico.ca
> /jsmason/evaluation1.htm
> * demonstrate the practical dynamics of the Evaluation Process

>
> <http://www3.sympatico.ca/jsmason/evaluation_checklist.htm>http://www3.sym
> patico.ca/jsmason/evaluation_checklist.htm
>
> My presentation will demonstrate clearly how this system of evaluation
> resists the counter-productive qualities of traditional grading. I will show
> how student-centered evaluation can integrate both formative and summative
> elements in order to promote ongoing awareness and accountability, and to
> motivate self-directed learning.
>
> Each participant would receive a handout with the site URL and my email
> address.
>
> Thank you.
