An interesting example of how we can use the interactive hotspot feature of YouTube videos to make non-linear narratives (or "games"). How can we use these to make more engaging videos for e-learning purposes / tutorials?

E-Learning e-portfolio reflective learning learning

Was chatting with a pri-school teacher friend of mine yesterday, and he casually mentioned that he had created his own e-portfolio using Google Sites too. I checked his e-portfolio out and I found it very inspiring - all the more since it's a classic showcase of what an e-portfolio can be - and one done by one of our own working Singaporean school teachers some more. :) Hopefully this example should help towards dispelling the misconception that e-portfolios are a high-tech "waste of time" that only adds extra to a teacher's workload.

But why exactly have these kinds of games taken off in recent years? The answer to this question lies in the overall technological trend of making devices that are a “one stop shop” for people. Electronic devices have been increasing in functionality for years, but the introduction of devices like Smart phones and tablets are fantastic examples of this catch-all product that has increased in popularity recently.

As the forcefulness and personal identifiability of the phrase increased, the number of clicks likewise increased. "You" identifies the reader directly, "should" implies an obligation, and "follow me on twitter" is a direct command. Moving the link to a literal callout "here" provides a clear location for clicking.

Rapid Intake Shout Out: Mobile Learning Gets Higher Course Completion Rates? - 1 views

mobile learning

shared by yeuann on 15 Aug 11 - No Cached

I've seen some evidence that learners are more likely to complete mobile learning courses (like the ones created with mLearning Studio) than traditional online courses. I assume this is because it is more convenient and thereby more enjoyable, removing the tedious barrier of having to sit in one place to get it done. Also, learners can do smaller chunks when they have time: waiting in line at the grocery store, at a restaurant, and on and on (think of all of the places we now compulsively pull out our mobile device while we wait).

QR qr code mobile iphone video iPad

shared by yeuann on 13 Aug 11 - No Cached

With the continued penetration of smartphones into the mainstream market, QR codes are becoming more of an option for designers to prompt interaction. The two-dimensional barcode can easily be generated from text, including a website link, and printed on materials in magazines and conferences. An artist in Paris found an unusual use for the black-and-white squares: to animate a tattoo.

Ok, I think this isn't ever going to make it into ANY school... but this is an amazing concept of how we can use QR codes to enhance real-world art in education... i.e. cyberspace meets meat-space (literally). An idea that I gained from this is that we could use this idea for, say, a printed picture book... if we scanned the QR code in the printed page using our iPhones, the moment the video loaded, we could just place our iPhones directly over the printed page, and it would give a compelling illusion that the printed page had suddenly come to life a la Harry Potter. :) BTW do watch the video from 2:05 onwards! :) (esp if you're squeamish about watching a tattoo process) Now, for an iPad-sized tattoo... any takers? ;) (Just kidding!)

Another idea: Imagine we were doing a bio lesson and wanted our students to "see" a beating heart. We could get a mannequin and paste QR codes over the chest. Then the teacher can scan the QR code, load the corresponding Youtube video and place the mobile phone directly over the chest. The result would look to the students as though the phone was a magic window for them to peer through the chest to "see" the beating heart. So QR codes could be used for 3D object lessons too.

shared by yeuann on 12 Aug 11 - No Cached

LEGOs and Lincoln Logs are for Luddites. Sifteo cubes are the new building blocks. Each cube has a 128-pixel color LCD screen, wireless connectivity, a 32-bit ARM microprocessor, and an accelerometer that responds to tilting and stacking. You can arrange them to create everything from vocabulary puzzles to building challenges, all of which can be enjoyed by as many people as you can crowd around the coffee table.

Sifteo founders Jeevan Kalanithi and David Merrill previewed the cubes at TED 2009 when they were grad students at MIT. The cubes debuted at CES this year. The design marries classic tactility with new hardware and software. “Sifteo cubes are the first gaming solution to deliver truly hands-on play,” Merrill said. “[The cubes combine] the latest in embedded computing and sensing technology with a timeless play style.”

Capture the flag. Hide and seek. Marco Polo. These location-based games brought hours of fun to many of us as children. Then video games came along and suddenly the only location you played in was the living room. Now this shift is coming full circle as innovative mobile games are using geo-location, image recognition and augmented reality technologies to combine the real and virtual worlds.
