"5 Reasons Why Educators Should Network"

"True innovation in Higher Ed will emerge from faculty-driven, open-source projects, not start-up commercialisation"

Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) have the potential to enable free university-level education on an enormous scale. A concern often raised about MOOCs is that although thousands enrol for courses, a very small proportion actually complete the course. The release of information about enrollment and completion rates from MOOCs appears to be ad hoc at the moment - that is, official statistics are not published for every course. This data visualisation draws together information about enrollment numbers and completion rates from across online news stories and blogs.

EDUCAUSE - great video

Easy way to search #'s from originating from multiple social media hubs

Three months of development for one hour of online coursework. In terms of numbers, that's one point that came out of listening to the podcast, which was a helpful landmark. That estimate was for a middle of the road course on the three variables: Graphics/Multimedia Level of Interactivity Instructional Design

"Know your users: Faculty are not trained in usability and design. They don't 'see' the benefits of simple design. #necanvas13"

"For several reasons I have deliberately avoided talking too much about technology in this book. Firstly, it is too easy to dismiss what is happening as technological - to label it "digital" - and to miss the real point - the changes we are seeing are cultural"

While I was revisiting the topic of the 21st century pedagogy which I have covered in several posts here in Educational Technology and Mobile Learning, I come across this awesome graph created by our colleague Andrew Churches. I couldn't find better and more comprehensive graphic than the one below. Andrew did a fantastic work in capturing most of the concepts that make 21st century pedagogy. I know it could have been richer in information if  definitions or explanatory snippets  were added to some concepts ( like for instance information literacy, media fluency, technology fluency ) but still that does not lesson from its importance as a starting point to ponder on the topic of 21st century pedagogy. For those of you who are not familiar with the terminology included in this graphic please refer back to the posts I have published here a while ago particularly : 14 technology concepts every teacher should know about, and 6 Learning concepts for the 21st century teacher.

"Canvas has drastically improved this process, so you should be able to easily import courses from your existing Blackboard course archive files. [Learn more about finding your course archives.] "

We recommend that unless you absolutely need to import a Blackboard course, it is always best to start fresh with a new course. However, we realize that this is not always possible for instructors.
