This becomes a problem in education if you have a policy, as my school, of no electronic devices on during school hours. I think this subject can be a huge debate among educators, but encourage for an online course.
-
it just can’t be reading and discussions, so there needs to be virtual activities and videos to help them visualize the concept that we are learning about.

Content Curation Tools | iTeachU - 0 views

What is Content Curation? As instructors, we are all information curators. How do you collect and share currently relevant content with your students? How do your students research and share information that they find with the rest of class? What tools do you use to manage or facilitate presentation of resources? Is it public? Can students access it at other times? In groups? Modern web tools make it easy for both students and instructors to contribute online discoveries to class conversations. Using free online content curation software, we can easily integrate new content in a variety of ways."
PROVINCIAL CANADIAN GEOGRAPHIC RESTRICTIONS ON PERSONAL DATA IN THE PUBLIC SECTOR - 0 views

Why student data in Canada can't be on US servers and the legal complexities involved- in particular see page 13 -14. Concerns about student data or any personal data being stored has led to restrictions that create issues in teaching strategies, software debugging, help desk protocols etc. FERPA interpretation is part of this landscape.

Grading Technology? Not again! | The Thinking Stick - 0 views

Doing a presentation? We talk about PowerPoint. Doing a podcast? We learn about making a podcast. I teach the skills kids need in order to do the assignment. In the end its how they apply those skills to the subject matter that should be assessed. A good PowerPoint gets a better grade then a weak PowerPoint? The focus should not be on the PowerPoint but the information that it presents. Should we assess students on their presentation of information? Yes, but not on how they use a specific piece of software.
PBL: Teaching Online - 0 views
-
This section of the Teaching Online Guide focuses on course planning and design. While many of the ideas and strategies are generic the main focus will be on the PBL online course. Included within the course design section is information about the phases of planning an online course, software for online teaching, using multimedia, teaching strategies, and assessment for online instruction. In general, the design of an online course entails four main realms. These are the people involved (who), the content (what), the teaching strategies and software tools (how), and the location of the course (where). The course design pages on this guide address aspects of these realms and the associated design elements. Scroll your mouse over the diagram to the right to see how everything fits together.

CDL Recommendations: Auto-detect mobile devices and automatically display mobile version of a site (though always provide obvious links back to the full version of the site). Create mobile websites rather than apps whenever possible so that users do not need to download software in advance of using it. Advertise through a variety of channels, including campus or departmental emails, campus websites, library websites, and blogs. Overall CDL design recommendations: Set up testing practices and environments for the most heavily used device platforms (Apple iOS, RIM Blackberry OS, and Android OS). Test with physical devices where possible rather than emulation environments. Support mobile web access as opposed to building standalone mobile applications. Adopt and maintain web analytical tools to accurate mobile device tracking and usage statistics for online services. Continue to survey constituents and end-users annually or bi-annually to capture rapidly changing behaviours.
The Wider Impact of Moore's Law - 0 views
-
Moore’s original 1965 article described doubling the number of transistors every 12 months, rather than today’s popular form, which has microprocessor performance doubling every 18 months
-
A huge collateral effect of Moore’s Law was the creation of the commercial software industry as a meaningful force in the economy. This took place in two ways. First, the falling cost and wide availability of powerful processors greatly increased the number of computers in use, and thus successful software products could be sold in enormous numbers at modest prices.
Section 508: 508 Law - 0 views
-
508 applies only to websites of the federal government and requires certain provisions to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access them. 508 also offers guidance for software companies and web developers but the standards cannot be enforced. Several states have adopted the 508 standards as state law. New York is moving in this direction this fall as well.
