A Texting Communications Exercise « User Generated Education - 1 views

  • This activity is an adaptation of the Back-to-Back Communications Exercise.  Students found a partner.  One volunteered to give the directions, the other to be the drawer.  They exchanged phone numbers and the drawers went to another room.  The direction givers were provided with the following drawing and told to text in words (one student asked if he could send a picture) the description of the drawing.  The goal was for the drawer to reproduce the drawing to scale.

      Could a personalized (for you and your students) version of this activity be used as an authentic assessment? Any questions? Comments? Concerns?

  • I adapted the Bridge-It communications exercise to incorporate my students’ (most ages 17-20) mobile devices.  It combined some of my favorite instructional strategies:

      Do you think this activity could be used in your classes? How would you modify it? Would it address assessment? Would it be authentic? Any other comments?

  • The differences between open content and traditional textbooks only begin with the production and distribution of the text. When we look at the types of teaching, learning, and assessment that become more accessible when using open content, we can start to get a clearer picture of the pedagogical rationale that makes remixable and reusable content a better choice than a traditional textbook.
  • generally, when a text is being used within a course, the structure of the text creates the structure of the course.
  • The text becomes a point of reference for the ongoing work in the class.

      Is this necessarily a problem?

  • most teachers who use a textbook deviate from it. Most teachers plan lessons and curriculum that go beyond where the text ends, or that address deficiencies in the text. These lessons and activities form a shadow text that help drive quality classrooms. Yet, within the world of the traditional textbook, these improvements or options never make it back into the textbook. Many of these innovative practices never get shared with colleagues in the same building.

assessment charges facebook groups homework misconduct university

shared by Barbara Lindsey on 16 Mar 08 - Cached
  • “First-year student Chris Avenir is fighting charges of academic misconduct for helping run an online chemistry study group via Facebook last term, where 146 classmates swapped tips on homework questions that counted for 10 per cent of their mark.
  • using Facebook to talk about schoolwork, when actually it’s no different than any study group working together on homework in a library,” said Neale.
  • if I post a question about physics homework on my friend’s wall (a Facebook bulletin board) and ask if anyone has any ideas how to approach this – and my prof sees this, am I cheating?” said Neale, who has used Facebook study groups herself.”
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • if this kind of help is cheating, then so is tutoring and all the mentoring programs the university runs and the discussions we do in tutorials.
  • every survey of employers suggests that the ability to work as part of a team is both one of the most sought after competencies and one which they feel is not being taught by the education system.

      It's five years hence--do you see any evidence of large-scale portfolio adoption at your institution?
  • It’s a cultural application

  • What’s happening with universities in this knowledge age is that the boundaries between the university and the rest of the world have pretty much dissolved. We are now a learning culture, or a knowledge culture.
  • It’s something that whole countries are offering to their citizens to store things related to their work, over a career or over the time when they are developing their career.
  • what’s driving the market in the US is assessment management.
  • universities—especially schools of education around the country—are rushing to implement ePortfolio systems so that they can do the kind of reporting the accrediting agencies are asking for.
  • The big market is going to be everyone having an ePortfolio, whether they are in college or not in college

openaccess research faculty

shared by Barbara Lindsey on 21 Feb 10 - Cached
  • Bernard Schutz, director of the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics, in Potsdam, Germany, stressed how far the United States lags behind Europe and other parts of the world on the open-access frontier.
  • "I now believe that having public access to most scholarly communications is inevitable," said David Shulenburger, vice president for academic affairs at the Association of Public and Land-Grant Universities. "Faculty are coming to understand, finally, that this has to happen if they're going to have the most scholarly opportunities to get things done."
  • The "killer app" of open access, Mr. Schutz said, would be something that gave researchers the means to dig past metadata and do full-text searches. "I want really useful tools that understand context to retrieve text intelligently, hunt down key equations, ensure completeness of bibliographies, help assess the real impact of a scientist's work," he said.
