  • The disadvantages: Again, procrastination can happen with the asynchronous parts (self-paced) then that negatively impacts the synchronous (real time, instructor facilitated) portions. It is easy to become mixed up of what to do when and where to do it.
  • However, the way the class is structured as asynchronous, synchronous or a blended version is vital to know before you undertake an online course.

  • ...equivalent. Effective BFL design encompasses the ethical obligation to support, respect and provide equitable learning and assessment experiences for all of our diverse range of students. Equivalence should exist between and across different cohorts, ensuring that resources and facilitation processes normally only provided to one cohort are available to all, and that there are equivalent support mechanisms to cater for accessibilty and convenience.

  • Offer differentiated instruction. Be aware that you'll have students of differing abilities in your classroom. Don't make the mistake of crafting a single lesson for everybody—without taking into consideration the different ability levels.
  • Students should have multiple opportunities to set their own academic goals.

    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.

Colleges Search for Their Place in the Booming Mobile Web - Technology - The Chronicle ... - 0 views

  • Most colleges do not have the resources to build their own mobile applications from scratch. The environment is changing quickly, and developing new products for each new major device—iPhones, BlackBerrys, Android phones, iPads—can be prohibitively expensive.
  • One key to these projects is recognizing the mobility of mobile devices, and not treating them as if they were small desktop computers. Among colleges, even the leading mobile applications and Web sites still function like add-ons; students and others can get much the same information on a personal computer, although perhaps not as quickly.
  • Creating a cohesive mobile platform does not mean that colleges should try to move everything from their Web sites to a smaller screen. It can be impossible to know in advance what people want to do on a smartphone, and what they would prefer to leave to a full-size computer.

  • A survey administered last August by Fiserv indicated that fully 40% of online households -- which number 96 million -- could own a tablet before the end of this year. Of those who already own tablets, 45% said that they would like to use them for online banking. Late last year, a study by Oracle Communications pointed out that, of those surveyed, 34% would rather use a tablet than a smartphone for mobile banking.

  • So it’s pretty, functional, and looks easy to use. Great for schools, right? Well, not exactly. We still have no idea what the Surface Tablet is going to cost. Microsoft mentioned that pricing would be ‘competitive’ but even that’s not really helpful.

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.

  • Require students to post a minimum number of times to demonstrate that they have visited and revisited the material and conversations over several days. Often times, students go the discussion boards once a week, post a flurry of messages, and then never return to read any responses to their postings. Requiring students to post over several days encourages them to read and respond to the range of responses. Online discussion boards facilitate student reflection. As such, postings to the discussion boards should demonstrate a thoughtful approach to the content. Research indicates that when using online discussion boards, students are more likely to cite research and class readings in their responses. Use this to your advantage by calling for the use of supporting evidence in student postings. Stude
  • nts should incorporate quotes from other student responses as a way of synthesizing and extending the conversation.
