EDpuzzle - 4 views

  •  
    EDpuzzle provides a very helpful video curation service. You can source videos from 10 online sources (e.g. TED, YouTube, TeacherTube, etc.). The videos can be edited and questions added. What I find most helpful is the learner tracking features, you can actually see what your learners actually do.

Three Generations of Distance Education Pedagogy - 2 views

  •  
    This paper by Terry Anderson and Jon Dron of Athabasca University is relevant to our discussions in Blended Learning. Although their focus is pure distance education, the constructs presented in their material are relevant to our BlendKit2014 work. I think we need to be more clear about how our pedagogical approach drives our learning design.
