    Very interesting description of LRS. Do you think we can develop one or more of our own?
  •  
    Hi Ashley, I've been reading through this section for developers: http://tincanapi.com/page-developers/. From what I understand so far, an LRS should do at least one of the following: - Standardize and serialize the various types of data from different networks (e.g. Twitter, Facebook) into an LMS-friendly format - Act as a stand-alone enterprise-level web-service from which other web-services can extract the collated data for their own usage. The Tin Can APIs look useful so far for our own use (including mobile support), since they support Javascript, Objective C and Java. I believe these APIs can link up with Google Enterprise Apps for greater LRS functionality too.

    Ah, that's good news indeed if Google Enterprise Apps are friendly towards this strategy. Keep monitoring. Things tend to change rapidly with Google!

Coursera, Pedagogy, And The Two Faces Of MOOCs - 2 views

  •  
    The author shows how the Coursera pedagogy for xMOOC is still an instructivist approach aka a classic "sage on the stage" approach but which is one-to-very-many cMOOC is based on the connectivism-inspired approach, and focus on knowledge creation and generation whereas xMOOCs focus on knowledge duplication (Siemens, 2012) @MarkSmither puts it: "in an xMOOC you watch videos, in a cMOOC you make videos." You can probably guess which MOOC type NIE is adopting

Enriching Online Education through E-Service-Learning | Getting Smart - 0 views

    • Rachel Tan
       
      One research paper on E-service learning: A pedagogic innovation for healthcare management education, http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16700443 It appears to be successful as they identified more areas for implementation: The authors then define and conceptualize e-service learning, including the anticipated outcomes of implementation such as enhanced access, quality, and cost effectiveness of healthcare management education. Because e-service learning is mediated by technology, we identify state of the art technologies that support e-service learning activities. In addition, possible e-service learning projects and activities that may be included in healthcare management courses such as finance, human resources, quality, service management/marketing and strategy are identified. Finally, opportunities for future research are suggested.

Use of free images - how to acknowledge the image creator - 0 views

    • Rachel Tan
       
      Pek Mee, I will insert the Acknowledgement in reference on the last PPT slide for Unit 2. Will advise GPL to do the same going forward. After clearance from Ashley I will advise GPL on the correct way Credits/Acknowledgement going forward.
  •  
    This is one source of free images used by faculty for NIE Open Courses. It is mandatory to publish an acknowledgement to FreeDigitalPhotos.net and the image creator on the page each free image is used on. For example: "Image courtesy of [contributor name] / FreeDigitalPhotos.net". It should be clear which image the acknowledgement relates to. Where the same image appears on multiple pages, for example in a banner or background, it need only be acknowledged on one page. If you are unable to publish an acknowledgement, you must purchase the image to use it. You do not need to publish an acknowledgement if you purchase the image.

iTunes U still competitive in online education (Stanford Daily) - 1 views

  • discuss issues together through Piazza, but ran into privacy issues and had to create three separate forums
    • Rachel Tan
       
      Dr Ashley, I wonder what the privacy issues were. There is a fair amount of negative notes in this article that could work against our recommendation of iTunes U 
  •  
    In 2007, videotaped lectures from 10 courses were added to the Stanford iTunes site. The content on the site consisted solely of audio and video files until January 2012, when Apple launched the iTunes U app. This app allowed professors to upload additional materials such as homework assignments and class handouts, giving remote students more of a comprehensive course experience. While remote students can now participate in a course by completing homework assignments and even taking exams, they are still not able to ask questions in class, receive feedback on homework and exams or collaborate with classmates. Several iTunes U courses have attempted to bridge this gap through Piazza, an online forum that allows students from around the world to ask and answer questions and discuss the course. Remote students are able to register on Piazza to discuss the lectures and assignments with other students, although Hegarty says that iTunes U students often reach out to him for help instead. https://piazza.com/ The (Free) Efficient Way to Manage Class Q&A How is this better than email, newsgroups, and discussion forums? Students actually use Piazza, they love it. This difference stems from how we built Piazza. We've personally met with and spoken to thousands of students and instructors. The result is a beautifully intuitive and simple product that students love and use.

MOOCs in Higher Education: Options, Affordances, Pitfalls (Part 1) - 1 views

  •  
    These cMOOCs are characterized by a certain DIY (do it yourself) or "edupunk" feel. In 2012, with the introduction of ventures like Coursera and edX, we saw the rise of what George Siemens in his July 25, 2012 blog entry called the xMOOC (please see the References for a link). The xMOOCs are another camp entirely, institutional courses materialized in Coursera and Coursera-like platforms.
