• Share the results of an action research study designed to
improve the percentage of community college students willing
to voluntarily leave voice or video comments in required
VoiceThread activities.
• Evaluate the experiences of community college students as
they engage with emerging technologies for online learning.
• Identify the impact of course design and instructor support on
students’ mindsets about using emerging technologies.
Objectives
Learning Out Loud: Changing Students' Mindsets About Voice Comments
Instructor voice feedback in online
classes has been found to improve:
• perceived distance between instructor (more like "in class")!
• perception that instructor cares!
• feeling of student involvement!
• student motivation!
• student retention of information
(Ice, Curtis, Phillips, & Wells, 2007; Oomen-Early et al., 2008,
Olesove, Richardson, Weasenforth, & Meloni, 2011)
• Started teaching using VoiceThread in my online classes in 2007.
Background
• By 2008, proven for its online community-building potential.
VoiceThread contributed to
establishing a sense !
of community in !
our class.

Voice comments
are great!
As long as I don’t
have to use them.
Questions
If voice/video comments by the instructor improve social
presence, how is online learning impacted if student-
generated voice/video comments increase?
Why are most students (~75%) unwilling to
participate in voice/video?
How can this problem be improved?
Can I change

them?
Can I change how
they feel about
leaving text
comments?

integration
About my current online class:
Text
The Changes
1. Ensure access. !
• New institutional site license to VoiceThread meant ubiquitous
access to voice through phone commenting minutes
2. Slow down & scaffold. Redesign of Weeks 1-2.!
• Wk 1: Getting Started Unit (new) - no commenting!
• Wk 2: Learning Unit 1 (redesigned) - everyone comments in voice or video
3. Voice/Video Commenting Required - sometimes. 12 activities.
5 require voice/video, 7 allow students to choose voice/video/text.
4. Check-In. Added a “VoiceThread Check-In Survey” in Week 4.

Were there any benefits to being
able to hear your peers’ comments?
“Yes, I feel like we got to know each other
better. I actually recognized a classmate at my
children's Taekwondo class because of the
sound of her voice!”
CC-BY-NC-SA Zanthia
Were there any benefits to being
able to hear your peers’ comments?
“Yes, it feels more personal and
intimate which I think helps you retain
what you are learning.”

CC-BY JD Hancock
“…having to say the words helped me
understand what I was talking about better
than if I had just been writing it down.”
How did speaking (vs. writing all your
assignments) affect your learning?
CC-BY JD Hancock
“I found ... that I would ... unearth more thoughts
and opinions as I spoke them out loud while
looking at the content, as opposed to looking at
the content, forming an opinion, then looking at
my text as I wrote it.”
Were there any benefits to being
able to hear your peers’ comments?
CC-BY JD Hancock
“…it made me re-evaluate my answers. Mostly
because I didn't want to sound like I had no idea
what I was talking about. Plus when you write
something down there is not much emotion to it
and being able to speak out loud my ideas made
me feel like I could connect and explain the
material better.”
Were there any benefits to being
able to hear your peers’ comments?
CC-BY JD Hancock
How did speaking (vs. writing all your
assignments) affect your learning?
“I felt the need to more fully research the
material before leaving comments. I wanted
to sound proficient when discussing
questions in voice comments.”
CC-BY JD Hancock
“I believe giving myself the ability to do voice
comments without a completely scripted comment in
front of me added to my thinking process. Without
sitting down to write out everything I might say, it
made me dig deeper in the moment of discussion to
speak out about ideas I may not have though out or
thought of while sitting to script the comment.”
How did speaking (vs. writing all your
assignments) affect your learning?
CC-BY JD Hancock
“I felt more motivated to produce a better
quality assignment.”
How did speaking (vs. writing all your
assignments) affect your learning?
CC-BY JD Hancock
“I am not really sure it effected my learning.
I seemed to avoid my voice threads as
long as possible because of this.”
How did speaking (vs. writing all your
assignments) affect your learning?
CC-BY Gustavo Devito
Were there any drawbacks to
being required to speak?
“At first, I was nervous ...but ... I found [VoiceThread
to] be most useful. It was fun and made the class
more interactive. In my opinion, the online class
would be a bit boring without VoiceThread.”
“I did not like the voicethread
activities. I don't feel that it added to
my learning experience since it is not
a speech or public speaking class.”
CC-BY kodomut.com
What drawbacks were there to
being required to speak?
“None really, other than me tripping
over my tongue and having to re-
record a lot. But that gets better as
you get more comfortable with it.”
CC-BY kodomut.com
What drawbacks were there to
being required to speak?
(cont'd)
What drawbacks were there to
being required to speak?
“For me, working them around my noisy
(and consistently busy) family and house. I
also had to buy a microphone for my
comments, but acquiring materials is just a
part of school.”

• Student mindsets towards emerging technologies affect
their willingness to use them.
!
• These mindsets may be changed through course design
and instructor support.
!
• Scaffolding student use of technology into a course can
reduces nerves.
!
!
Findings
CC-BY-NC-SA By Coofdy
• Voice/video student participation in online classes:
!
• increases when students are required to comment in a low-stake ice
breaker with high instructor interaction after tool set up is complete
• affects social & cognitive elements of online learning
• supports learning differences
• may improve students’ verbal communication skills & self confidence
• fosters skills that students perceive to be critical for 21st century
success
!
Findings!
(cont’d)
Implications
• Additional accessibility support would be required for captioning of
content when a text accommodation to voice content is necessary in
a class.!
• For VoiceThread, a campus must subscribe to a department or site-
wide license to provide students with free phone commenting
minutes.!

Learning Out Loud: Changing Students' Mindsets About Voice Comments

  • 1. CC-BY Gustavo Devito LEARNING OUT LOUD Michelle'Pacansky.Brock''''''''TeachingWithoutWalls.com CSU'Channel'Islands '''''''Mt.'San'Jacinto'College Changing'St?dents’'Mindsets'About'Voice'Comments @brocansky' tiny.cc/ET4ONLINELOL
  • 2. • Share the results of an action research study designed to improve the percentage of community college students willing to voluntarily leave voice or video comments in required VoiceThread activities. • Evaluate the experiences of community college students as they engage with emerging technologies for online learning. • Identify the impact of course design and instructor support on students’ mindsets about using emerging technologies. Objectives
  • 4. Instructor voice feedback in online classes has been found to improve: • perceived distance between instructor (more like "in class")! • perception that instructor cares! • feeling of student involvement! • student motivation! • student retention of information (Ice, Curtis, Phillips, & Wells, 2007; Oomen-Early et al., 2008, Olesove, Richardson, Weasenforth, & Meloni, 2011)
  • 5. • Started teaching using VoiceThread in my online classes in 2007. Background • By 2008, proven for its online community-building potential.
  • 6. VoiceThread contributed to establishing a sense ! of community in ! our class. 80% strongly agreed or agreed Online Student VoiceThread Survey: 101 students surveyed, 88% response rate Pacansky-Brock, 2008
  • 7. My instructor's voice comments increased my sense that she was actively present in my learning experience (compared to text alone). 96% strongly agreed or agreed 101 students surveyed, 88% response rate Pacansky-Brock, 2008 Online Student VoiceThread Survey:
  • 8. My instructor's video comments increased my sense that she was actively present in my learning experience (compared to text alone). 98% strongly agreed or agreed 101 students surveyed, 88% response rate Pacansky-Brock, 2008 Online Student VoiceThread Survey:
  • 9. CC-BY-NC Pulpolux !! Voice comments are great! As long as I don’t have to use them.
  • 10. Questions If voice/video comments by the instructor improve social presence, how is online learning impacted if student- generated voice/video comments increase? Why are most students (~75%) unwilling to participate in voice/video? How can this problem be improved?
  • 11. Can I change
 them? Can I change how they feel about leaving text comments?
  • 12. ! •Community college •Southeastern California •Fully online •Max class enrollment: 35 •LMS: Blackboard •About 1/2 students new to online •At time of redesign, campus had site license to VT but no BB integration About my current online class: Text
  • 13. The Changes 1. Ensure access. ! • New institutional site license to VoiceThread meant ubiquitous access to voice through phone commenting minutes 2. Slow down & scaffold. Redesign of Weeks 1-2.! • Wk 1: Getting Started Unit (new) - no commenting! • Wk 2: Learning Unit 1 (redesigned) - everyone comments in voice or video 3. Voice/Video Commenting Required - sometimes. 12 activities. 5 require voice/video, 7 allow students to choose voice/video/text. 4. Check-In. Added a “VoiceThread Check-In Survey” in Week 4.

  • 27. End of Semester Survey work in progress started surveys in Fall 2012 anonymous
  • 28. CC-BY-NC-SA Zanthia Were there any benefits to being able to hear your peers’ comments? “Yes, I feel like we got to know each other better. I actually recognized a classmate at my children's Taekwondo class because of the sound of her voice!”
  • 29. CC-BY-NC-SA Zanthia Were there any benefits to being able to hear your peers’ comments? “Yes, it feels more personal and intimate which I think helps you retain what you are learning.” (cont'd)
  • 30. CC-BY JD Hancock “…having to say the words helped me understand what I was talking about better than if I had just been writing it down.” How did speaking (vs. writing all your assignments) affect your learning?
  • 31. CC-BY JD Hancock “I found ... that I would ... unearth more thoughts and opinions as I spoke them out loud while looking at the content, as opposed to looking at the content, forming an opinion, then looking at my text as I wrote it.” Were there any benefits to being able to hear your peers’ comments?
  • 32. CC-BY JD Hancock “…it made me re-evaluate my answers. Mostly because I didn't want to sound like I had no idea what I was talking about. Plus when you write something down there is not much emotion to it and being able to speak out loud my ideas made me feel like I could connect and explain the material better.” Were there any benefits to being able to hear your peers’ comments?
  • 33. CC-BY JD Hancock How did speaking (vs. writing all your assignments) affect your learning? “I felt the need to more fully research the material before leaving comments. I wanted to sound proficient when discussing questions in voice comments.”
  • 34. CC-BY JD Hancock “I believe giving myself the ability to do voice comments without a completely scripted comment in front of me added to my thinking process. Without sitting down to write out everything I might say, it made me dig deeper in the moment of discussion to speak out about ideas I may not have though out or thought of while sitting to script the comment.” How did speaking (vs. writing all your assignments) affect your learning?
  • 35. CC-BY JD Hancock “I felt more motivated to produce a better quality assignment.” How did speaking (vs. writing all your assignments) affect your learning?
  • 36. CC-BY JD Hancock “I am not really sure it effected my learning. I seemed to avoid my voice threads as long as possible because of this.” How did speaking (vs. writing all your assignments) affect your learning?
  • 37. CC-BY Gustavo Devito Were there any drawbacks to being required to speak? “At first, I was nervous ...but ... I found [VoiceThread to] be most useful. It was fun and made the class more interactive. In my opinion, the online class would be a bit boring without VoiceThread.”
  • 38. “I did not like the voicethread activities. I don't feel that it added to my learning experience since it is not a speech or public speaking class.” CC-BY kodomut.com What drawbacks were there to being required to speak?
  • 39. “None really, other than me tripping over my tongue and having to re- record a lot. But that gets better as you get more comfortable with it.” CC-BY kodomut.com What drawbacks were there to being required to speak? (cont'd)
  • 40. What drawbacks were there to being required to speak? “For me, working them around my noisy (and consistently busy) family and house. I also had to buy a microphone for my comments, but acquiring materials is just a part of school.” (cont'd) CC-BY kodomut.com

  • 49. CC-BY-NC-SA By Coofdy • Student mindsets towards emerging technologies affect their willingness to use them. ! • These mindsets may be changed through course design and instructor support. ! • Scaffolding student use of technology into a course can reduces nerves. ! ! Findings
  • 50. CC-BY-NC-SA By Coofdy • Voice/video student participation in online classes: ! • increases when students are required to comment in a low-stake ice breaker with high instructor interaction after tool set up is complete • affects social & cognitive elements of online learning • supports learning differences • may improve students’ verbal communication skills & self confidence • fosters skills that students perceive to be critical for 21st century success ! Findings! (cont’d)
  • 51. Implications • Additional accessibility support would be required for captioning of content when a text accommodation to voice content is necessary in a class.! • For VoiceThread, a campus must subscribe to a department or site- wide license to provide students with free phone commenting minutes.!
