Pearson's "Free" LMS - 0 views
-
Many schools are rethinking the LMS, not just because these tools have cost them a pretty penny, but because they're looking for ways that can further student collaboration and that can emphasize content and learning and not just administration. That could put Pearson in a good position to be a go-to tool for schools, particularly if the focus becomes content, something Pearson does hold market control over. As the Delta Initiative's Phil Hill told Inside Higher Ed, Pearson "wants to change the perception of an LMS to [make colleges] say: �Hey, that's a commodity, that's a delivery system � and really education, and the education system, needs to be about the content itself and how students interact with that content.'"

drian Sannier, senior vice president of product at Pearson, told Inside Higher Ed that the new OpenClass can be used absolutely for free. No licensing costs, no costs for maintenance, and no costs for hosting. So this is a freer offer than Moodle is. It's a freer offer than any other in the space. And from the email I received from the PR firm handling the announcement, I give you these gems: "Pearson Launches First Truly Free and Open Learning Platform for Higher Ed." The tool "Provides Open Access." And this is where we need to stop and scrutinize what's happening here and look past the invocations of "free" and "open." Why would Pearson offer a free LMS? For one thing, Pearson doesn't need to sell OpenClass. Its emphasis -- indeed, its strategy -- lies elsewhere. Pearson is the largest education company in the world -- with or without success in the LMS market -- with profits of �208 million for the first half of this year alone. Its educational sales are up 9%; it's educational profits are up 31%. Much those sales and profits come from educational content: textbooks -- both print and digital -- as well as other curriculum offerings. (Much of the profits come from assessment products and services too -- Pearson sells the textbooks and the standardized tests. That's pretty damn lucrative, clearly.) Pearson can give away OpenClass in the hopes that schools will go for the "up-sell" and buy the company's other offerings. Many schools are rethinking the LMS, not just because these tools have cost them a pretty penny, but because they're looking for ways that can further student collaboration and that can emphasize content and learning and not just administration. That could put Pearson in a good position to be a go-to tool for schools, particularly if the focus becomes content, something Pearson does hold market control over. As the Delta Initiative's Phil Hill told Inside Higher Ed, Pearson "wants to change the perception of an LMS to [make colleges] say: �Hey, that's a commodity, that's a delivery system � and really education, and the education system, needs to be about the content itself and how students interact with that content.'" For its part, Pearson says that it's not going to lock users in to using just its content. But I can't help but wonder if that's true. After all, I think we need to question its usage of adjectives like "free" and "open" here. Furthermore when a company touts Google's involvement when really, what we have here is just a fairly simple and straight-forward integration with Google Apps, we should be a little suspicious about the labeling and the marketing and our consumption habits.

Resumen En el presente artículo realizamos, una descripción pormenorizada de cada una de las tres pruebas de evaluación continuada (PECs) desarrolladas en el Máster de Informática de la Universidad de Alcalá de Henares (UAH) a partir de la mediación de cinco herramientas tecnológicas de la web social: Glogster, Twitter, Twtpoll, Slideshare y CmapTools que se combinan con la utilización del LMS propio del curso. Presentamos los resultados derivados de cada una de las pruebas anteriores donde observamos que, tras la descolocación inicial de los estudiantes, las reacciones son positivas respecto a la integración de las diferentes herramientas 2.0 en su proceso de formación reglada. Exponemos también las conclusiones de nuestro trabajo, donde mostramos una serie de objetivos que deberían considerarse con el fin de favorecer una óptima relación y aprovechamiento tanto de los sistemas gestores del aprendizaje (LMS) como de los recursos 2.0 dentro de los procesos educativos.

Social Media Suggestions for Your Online Course - 2 views
-
When you consider the possible uses for social media in your courses: find a tool with features that fit your needs, start slowly with just one new project or activity, evaluate your experience and your students' experiences, and continue to revise your approach.
-
Develop your digital identity. Last on my list, but certainly not least, how are you presenting yourself online? What will students in your next term find when they Google your name? Think about how your thoughtful use of social media could help students get to know you and connect with you online. Consider social networking options like LinkedIn and activities such as blogging.
-
Encourage online study groups. The collaborative nature of most social media applications makes them a great fit for bringing students together online for conversations, group projects, writing assignments, and more.

It Takes Two to Tweet: Interpretation as a Shared Responsibility - 1 views
-
I remember lots of advice to take care in writing emails because emails don’t convey things like tone of voice or body language. Without such communication aids, the argument went, emails are easy to misinterpret. There’s only so much that emoticons and careful word choice can do to convey one’s affect, so some messages are better delivered in person or over the phone.
-
I think this issue of misinterpretation is even more relevant to Twitter than it is to email.
-
Moreover, a tweet may look like a free-standing piece of writing, but to the author of the tweet, it’s part of an ongoing narrative she or he is constructing over time through dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of tweets.
