    Interesting way of adhoc polling (without clickers). Its effective and easy (some of my faculty are using it), however I see some privacy concerns (mostly perception) that if I txt a response it is coming from my mobile number which is generally seen as identifiable (Even if its blocked in the poll.

    Can you moderate the responses before they are published?

    Some interesting points made in this article, about the current state of wireless cell data networks, and their limitations. Also some interesting points about the social aspect of video calling. Speaking from experience, doing the video thing can take some adjustment (it feels especially odd to see yourself while talking) since normally when we converse we do not see a picture of how we look... we just talk without seeing how we look.

    Students in the University of Maryland research were asked to give up all media for a day .For the research, titled "24 Hours: Unplugged," 200 students at the University of Maryland's College Park Campus blogged about their experiences after a day of giving up all social media. The project director Susan Moeller noticed that what they wrote at length about was how they hated losing their personal connections. Going without media meant, in their world, going without their friends and family." The students missed not much of the media but the social connections that it facilitates. Social media seems inevitable in this 21 century

    Ezy, this is a great example and shows how connected we are with the social media. I wonder if they have some demographic information in the research. How do their responses change based on age, gender etc.

    I can relate to that article. I sat in my camper last nite and didn't feel very good. Maybe that was related to the fact that my cell phone was my only means of communicating with others? :-) I realize things are changing, but its crazy to me how accessible people are these days. I find at work that there is a tipping work on the other extreme where being contacted too much has a negative effect.

  • Nevertheless, we warn institutions against making dramatic leaps into the digital learning space without understanding how students will respond or how technology complements, instead of merely replaces, teaching.

      I like the idea of online learning's rite of passage
  • Online learning’s rite of passage Email, social media, and even the telephone all faced resistance when they were introduced to the market; but convenience and necessity soon trumped concerns around security and the detriment of human interactivity. Online learning faces similar arguments. We expect that opposition will subside in the near future as learning evolves with student demand, not through mandates from budget-minded administrators.
