    The driving force behind the Web 2.0 revolution is a spirit of intellectual philanthropy and collective intelligence that is made possible by new technologies for communication, collaboration and information management. One of the best examples of collective intelligence in action are the wide range of social bookmarking applications that have been embraced in recent years.

2¢ Worth » Personal Learning Networks - The Beginning - 0 views

  • the phrase, as we typically use it today, was most likely coined by George Siemens in his discriptions of connectivism,
  • The term ‘Personal Learning Network’ is directly derived from ‘Personal Learning Environment’, which as history shows was first used at the The Personal Learning Environments Session at a JISC/CETIS Conference in 2004.

Dalsgaard: beyond the lms - 0 views

  • Social software: E-learning beyond learning management systems
  • learning
  • An approach to use of social software in
    support of a social constructivist approach to e-learning is presented, and
    it is argued that learning management systems do not support a social constructivist
    approach which emphasizes self-governed learning activities of students.
  • ...10 more annotations...
  • It is argued that social software tools enable a different way of using the
    web within an educational context
  • integration vs. separation
  • discussions about the extent to which tools should
    be separated or integrated in systems
  • depending on the chosen pedagogy
  • must use a pedagogy as a starting point
  • LMS are well suited for managing
    student enrolment, exams, assignments, course descriptions, lesson plans, messages,
    syllabus, basic course materials, etc. However, self-governed and problem-based
    activities are not very well supported by LMS
  • focus be moved away from learning management systems.
  • It is important to stress that the argument for using separate
    tools instead of an integrated system is a pedagogical argument. The
    argument is that the learning activities of students cannot be structured or
    pre-determined. Choice of a variety of tools will better support the required
    flexibility of open-ended activities than any one integrated system.
    • using a management system for administrative issues,
    • offering students personal tools for construction, presentation, reflection,
      collaboration, etc.,
    • facilitating networks between students within the same course, and
    • facilitating networks between students and other people working within
      the field.
  • approach differs in terms of focusing
    on empowerment of students as opposed to management of learning

WordPress › KB Gradebook « WordPress Plugins - 0 views

    How it Works
    You upload a CSV file (from Excel or some other spreadsheet) containing your students' grades. One column in the spreadsheet contains student (or parent) email addresses. The plugin generates a random password for each email address (or you can use WP logins; see FAQ). Students use this password with their email to check their grades. To update the grades, you just upload a new CSV.

    After uploading a CSV, you type up a generic message that will be personalized for each student. For example, if one of the columns in your spreadsheet is called "midterm" and another is called "final," your message might be something like this:

    Dear [student], you got a [midterm] on the midterm and a [final] on your final.

    Jim Groom sounded like a preacher at a religious revival when he spoke to professors and administrators at the City University of New York last month. "For the love of God, open up, CUNY," he said, raising his voice and his arms. "It's time!" But his topic was technology, not theology.
