Simple Techniques for Applying Active Learning Strategies to Online Course Videos | Faculty Focus - 2 views

      Dr Ashley, I agree with you and posting a question at the beginning of the video is an excellent strategy. That is how I learn. I need to know the question upfront so that I know what to pay attention to in the video.
  • Embed short graded or self-assessments either in the video itself, or at the end of each video. Including one or two multiple-choice questions or requests to post to a forum—either between scenes (using a post-production editing tool such as Camtasia or Captivate) or after the video—alerts students to the “take homes” they should be getting from the material. It also helps teachers assess, at point of contact, whether students understand the major concepts.

      This (self assessment) is absolutely necessary to give learning a chance to happen, as we develop open learning courses. This applies to Google Sites training resources out there.

How MOOCs Could Meet the Challenge of Providing a Global Education | MIT Technology Review - 0 views

MOOC learning education onlinelearning

shared by yeuann on 14 Apr 13 - No Cached
  • As MOOCs cast their eye to the developing world, very minor tweaks matter a great deal, such as the ability to allow students to download, rather than only stream course videos. But even more major ones are coming, including edX’s plans to start open-sourcing its platform in the next few months, which could allow even more universities to post online courses, and software programmers around the world to experiment with customized interfaces.
  • “We need to make sure we are making tools that make it easy to create new content, so it’s not only someone at MIT or Stanford who creates.” Relevance, as he notes, is one of the biggest motivators for students.
  • One of the major challenges for MOOCs—which so far mostly come from U.S. universities—is to tailor the content of courses to a diverse worldwide audience with any number of combinations of language, educational, motivational, and cultural backgrounds. Critics fear the rise of big box education from only a few elite institutions in Western nations, and worry these may not fit the different learning styles in different nations.

shared by yeuann on 14 Apr 13 - No Cached
  • What new opportunities do you see for apps in the developing world? Nobody focuses on the problem of creating apps for somebody whose monthly income is $200. Those people are not part of the computer age or the Internet age; most of them are not literate. So we run app competitions in India to try to get people thinking from that perspective. The winner of our last competition was a group of students who designed a commerce app for “fruit walas,” the guys who run around with carts selling fruits and vegetables. These students created a graphically intuitive way of running a small vegetable business. There are something like five million fruit walas in India, so if you had an app for them, there could be a lot of money to be made.

learning instructional web feedback research

shared by yeuann on 08 May 12 - No Cached
  • While edX shares the common theme of scaling the online experience to very large groups, it adds an important component lacking from the various Stanford spin-offs, namely research.
  • EdX partners will be doing more than putting content online, they will be studying how people learn in these environments in an effort to improve both classroom and online learning.
  • yeuann on 08 May 12
     
    According to this article, the most significant factor is not the scaling of online instruction (which isn't a new thing already) _but_ the ability for educators to study how people learn in various environments. Timely and accurate feedback is an essential component, not only for students, but also for educators, in improving the quality and relevancy of education for smaller groups. Personally, I think that the rise of massively open online courses (MOOCs) will ironically lead to a huge increase in the number of customized and localized courses tailored for niche sub-groups. Instead of seeing a huge dissemination of one-size-fits-all education, we will see an increasing diversity of different educational strategies, similiar to how the diversity of an ecosystem increases when its geographic size increases. It's a very exciting time for educators out there indeed...

    Xmind is using google code, will get Yeu Ann to check out the source code. http://code.google.com/p/xmind3/
  • yeuann on 10 May 12
     
    I've checked it out. Actually, it's not Google code, but simply an open-source native app stored in Google Projects, an open-source code repository. Nevertheless, it's a good mind-mapping software. Only thing is that it doesn't use Google Drive and I'm not sure if it can be integrated easily into Google Sites (due to Google Sites having issues with iframe elements).
  • Sally Loan on 10 May 12
     
    seems quite a good review for Mindomo, it's integrated to Google apps. http://www.mindomo.com/.

    I tried, cool! The map mind can be embedded in google site. Interface of mind map is easy to use, allow embed youtube link, images, and audio, attachment and links. Free for 3 mindmap and allow collaboration, invite is similar to Google for edit/read rights. There is also have icon, chat, comments and collaborative editing. Yeu Ann, we can include that as guide in student portfolio.

    Yeu Ann, I am referring to Mindomo :)

    Great! I'll try out the free account for the Mindomo next week. So I take it that you guys want to use this as the recommended mind-map app for our students?

    A course registration system implemented in Google Docs. This template lets you send out a customized reply to people who register for a course. Your students can fill out a form to indicate which session they want to attend. Based on other submissions, the script can figure out which sessions are still open and send an automatic reply thanking people for registering and informing them of which session they got into.

    I came across this ePortfolio iPhone app. It's content-rich and I think could be a good resource for our students to use. 
  • Ashley Tan on 04 Apr 12
     
    Does the app actually help create a mobile portfolio or is it just a handy reference on e-portfolios?
  • yeuann on 09 Apr 12
     
    A handy reference. There are other eportfolio iphone apps that do the creating of mobile eportfolios, such as Curtin University's iphone app. However, the problem is that those apps are specific to their eportfolio systems, so they are generally closed to non-university users. If I find one that is open (and uses open systems), I'll share here ASAP.
