Collaborative annotation of images | speakingimage - 0 views

  •  
    An interactive tool for group annotations of images - great for art, maps, anatomy, diagrams and more. Allows embedded wiki pages linked to points within the image, advanced selection and highlighting tools, links to video within the image.

    This is a very robust tool, when it works. Early versions were not capable of handling too many people and the group function broke down. However subsequent communication with the authors of this software revealed they had invested quite a bit of effort in the new beta to overcome some of the early issues. I want to test this for my class.

    Am I missing a link on this? I clicked on both this one and the other version you posted below because the topic looks fascinating. But for the Taylor & Francis they wanted me to pay $246 (sorry, not happening) and the ERIC link just took me to the abstract page. I know I can get to ERIC through the Kaplan Library and do a title search for this piece there ... but is there a more direct way to view the article full-text? Thanks - Rhonda

CL-1: Field-tested Learning Assessment Guide (FLAG): Assessment Primer (1 of 5) - 0 views

  • There is considerable evidence showing that assessment drives student learning. More than anything else, our assessment tools tell students what we consider to be important. They will learn what we guide them to learn through our assessments.

  • Assessment is more than grades To many, the word "assessment" simply means the process by which we assign students grades. Assessment is much more than this, however. Assessment is a mechanism for providing instructors with data for improving their teaching methods and for guiding and motivating students to be actively involved in their own learning. As such, assessment provides important feedback to both instructors and students. Assessment is Feedback for Both Instructors and Students Assessment gives us essential information about what our students are learning and about the extent to which we are meeting our teaching goals. But the true power of assessment comes in also using it to give feedback to our students. Improving the quality of learning in our courses involves not just determining to what extent students have mastered course content at the end of the course; improving the quality of learning also involves determining to what extent students are mastering content throughout the course.
  • Assessment Drives Student Learning The types of assessment usually performed in first-year science, math, engineering, and technology (STEM) courses--giving students tests--merely inform students about their grade, or ranking, after they have received instruction. In addition, these common testing techniques--which typically test for fact-based knowledge and algorithmic problem solving--tell our students that this is the type of knowledge we think is most important. That is, we appear to value the understanding of concepts at a relatively low level. Given that this is the type of assessment our students most frequently encounter, and that it will eventually lead to their final course grades, students learn to study the content in our courses in an expeditious way that allows them to succeed in passing many first-year STEM courses without necessarily developing deep understanding of concepts. It is our assessment that drives students learning.

    This article cites the problem with attrition rates of students taking online courses. It looks at the fallacy of the high numbers quoted for online learning. In reality, how many students finish the course or continue their education.

The dark side of social media? - 1 views

    The videos for Module 1, quite honestly, were mind-blowing. And what I was left with, after watching them all, was this thought -- can the human mind truly process even a dollop of all of the information that is out there? In our quest to gain access to as much information as possible, are we losing our ability to dig deep within it? This video came across my Facebook not too long ago, and it really made me wonder how much is too much...
