The document discusses tips for moving from a teacher-centered to learner-centered paradigm in online education. Tip #7 recommends following a path from teacher to moderator to facilitator to mentor. Tip #8 suggests evaluating one's own teaching, while Tip #9 is to evaluate the shared learning experience. The final tip #12 is to participate in shifting the paradigm to be more learner-centered by cultivating ways of knowing and applying value chain analysis to educational courseware and content development.

The paradigm shift is toward the teacher-as-a-mediator of community of learners. A virtual learning community culture is ideal for joint assignments which evaluate the process of team formation as well as create a high quality deliverable that is a result of inspiration and collaboration. This principle ties to approximating supported by the teacher providing scaffolding between his or her direct experience, the text book, and the students’ level of knowledge. The responsibility is to provide scaffolding when it is necessary

- #10: Critical Incident Questionaire (CIQ). Brookfield (1986) extends an idea put for the by Mezirow (1985) called “perspective formation”, by achieving “critical reflectivity” that “adults come to reflect on their self-images, changes in their self-concepts, question their previously internalized norms (behavioral and moral), and reinterpret their current and past behaviors from a new perspective …” (pp. 213-214). Brookfield (1990) defines critical incidents as brief descriptions written by learners of significant events in their lives. This list is my own adaptation as an online learning end of course survey is shown in using open discussion threads.

- #22: During the study the researcher to uncovered “key patterns/themes and produce key words/phrases” using an inductive process (Xu & Quaddus, 2005). The following diagram illustrated the synthesis of source of knowledge, a process the authors regard as “applying knowledge in practice and reflects the concept of learning by doing”. In support of the inductive approach, this would mean guiding learners into internalizing lessons for explicit knowledge. Hands-on practice helps strengthen the absorption of the learning, perhaps in time to be acknowledged during an end of course evaluation.

- #25: Sasse, et al. (2008) illustrate two frameworks which distinguish a familiar traditional teacher-centric discipline with a proposed learner-centered dimension. The teacher-centered paradigm ends with student learning being appraised in an objective manner using exams that maps back to the assigned readings and course content and participation. The learner centered paradigm aims at appraising learning using assessments from which course grades are merely a metric that meets formalized and approved curriculum guidelines.

- #27: Motivated and Skilled Faculty . Sasse, Schwering, and Dochterman (2008) apply value chain analysis thinking to identify creating leverage among activities performed by teachers and to focus on work located along the chain for delivering an educational service. “This analysis yields a shift in faculty focus ‘downstream’ in the value chain, where more is expected of faculty in the areas of course design and student learning and assessment” (p. 35). This study offered ideas about online programs that differentiate faculty roles based on type of service delivery. …offers ideas about applying value chain analysis as a lens for examining how a diverse faculty contributes and for comparing the dual roles of research and teaching.
- #30: Course Content Development. From South Africa, van der Merwe and Cronje (2004) introduce the “educational value chain as a graphical tool that developers may use in re-engineering efforts to identify possible bottlenecks that are likely to occur, as well as providing a route to follow when determining the value added elements by technology. The remarkable feature of this article is the educational high-level process model (Figure14) which graphically illustrates relationships between research, course development and delivery, student systems, and assessment for e-learning processes. van der Merwe, A. and Cronje, J. (2004, June). The educational value chain as a modelling tool in re-engineering efforts.

- #35: Value-Chain Analysis Applied to Online Learning Calling their framework “Value Co-creation Model for Services), Makkar, Gabriel & Tripathi (2008) illustrate necessary components within the higher education service industry with need to co-create value. Their perspective is that “When value is co-created it implies that both service providers and users are involved” (p. 197). Makkar, U., Gabriel, E., & Tripathi, S. K. (2008).

- #36: Value-Chain Analysis Applied to Online Learning In framing ideas about generic strategy, Stonehouse and Snowdon (2007) defined value chain analysis as “Porter's technique for understanding an organization's ability to add value through its activities, and their internal and external linkages, and allows managers to identify where value is currently added in the system and where there is potential to create further value in the future by reconfiguration and improved coordination of activities” (p. 258).
