Interview with (me) Anthony Fontana, about art, technology, online teaching, and the classroom of the future. Anthony Fontana is an Instructor for the School of Art. Scroll half way down.
A recent interview I had with the IDEAL Distance Learning Center at Bowling Green State University.
Edward T. Hall coined the term in his book "The Silent Language," to mean any form of culture or communication that perceives time in multiple, non-linear ways.
America has generally been regarded as a "monochronic" culture, perceiving time in a linear way; monochrons prefer to take on one task at a time.
With the advancements being made in today's technology, especially in modes of communication, many American's are developing varying levels of polychronicity, or the ability to multi-task.
The Polychronic Classroom
Any combination of web 2.0 applications and modes of communication (both synchronous and asynchronous) with educational course management technologies as well as real and virtual learning environments that optimize learning outcomes by providing channels of content transfer most familiar to the student.
