Q: "Quality" in my online course is a challenge for me. How do I measure student outcome?

A: More artificial intelligence tools are coming to support education. Read about Cerego technology that used adaptive learning approach to enhance online learning.
I also learned that IAIED society journal, International Journal of Artificial Intelligence in Education, is now indexed by ERIC - see http://eric.ed.gov/ and the publications at 
http://eric.ed.gov/?q=source%3A%22international+journal+of+artificial+intelligence+in+education%22

This will make IJAIED far more visible to a broader Education audience. Take advantage, collaborate!

Q: Please refer me to the examples of teaching approaches which are based on game design principles?

A: The scavenger game http://www.scvngr.com/ developed by Seth Priebatsh aims to envision education as a game ecosystem. 
The Center for Game and Impact at Arizona State University  http://gamesandimpact.org/ has exact same goal.

Q: What technology is available to improve students' writing strategies?

A: There is an option, as I discovered, to contact local researchers at the university who are developing educational technology tools. At Arizona State university we are fortunate to have a Learning Science Institute. Recently I started implementing W-Pal, a writing tutor, in collaboration with Danielle McNamara group at LSI ASU, in the student success class for freshmen. This intelligent tutoring system helps students to make their written communication more effective. http://www.soletlab.com/ I encourage you to expand your network in the direction of artificial intelligence in educational technology - the resources are there.

Q: What is the best teaching style for science?

A: read this article

Q: How Professor could present – showing slides/talking to camera – from somewhere on campus to a group in DC?

A:  To handle showing the speaker & then showing slides you need to send the request to videoconf-q@asu.edu and cc Jesus Antonio Diaz, the person here for videoconferencing at Computing Commons

This may work better when one of our people wants to present elsewhere…
