Here are the handouts from my presentation at the Northeast WebCT Users Group on March 30, 2006 in Philly.
This presentation links the concepts of epistemology and epistemological beliefs with the tools and techniques of online teaching, helping attendees view and craft their online pedagogy through their beliefs about knowledge and knowledge creation. Included with look at theory and practice are examples and suggestions for using RSS, podcasts, blogs, and discussion boards in WebCT. How do our views on the structure and source of knowledge affect the pedagogies and technologies we employ? What are the epistemological implications of Web-based technologies such as RSS? For those unfamiliar with epistemology this is a good overview the concept and its applications for teaching and learning. For those interested in newer technologies, this presentation puts them into a broad pedagogical framework with attention to technical and implementation issues.

Epistemological Beliefs
Epistemological Beliefs are often considered a lens thought which individuals interpret information, set standards and decide on an appropriate course of action (Buehl & Alexander, 2005, p. 700)
