Syllabus at IPT 692R: Introduction to Open Education - 0 views

  • Instructional design faculty are frequently criticized for delivering information about innovative new pedagogical methods to their students in the form of traditional lectures - for talking the talk but failing to walk the walk.
  • On the other hand, the course is a massively multiplayer role-playing game in which students select a character class, develop specialized expertise, complete a series of individual quests, join a Guild, and work with members of their Guild to accomplish quests requiring a greater breadth of skills than any one student can develop during the course.
  • Despite the impressive work of Constance, JSB, and others, to the best of my knowledge no one has ever designed and implemented a university course as a massively multiplayer role-playing game. In addition to helping students gain a working knowledge of the field of open education (i.e., knowledge they can actually put to work), this course is a design experiment exploring the effectiveness of running a university course as a massively multiplayer role-playing game.

Middle School Students Find Their Voice with Digital Cameras | Edutopia - 0 views

  •  
    Some years ago I taught a life skills class to a group of eighth grade boys. The curriculum I offered wasn't working. They were disengaged -- they wouldn't read, write, or talk about what I wanted them to talk about -- and they were mounting a rebellion.

Turn Your iPad 1 or 2 into an Interactive Whiteboard (Practical Practice) - 107 views

  •  
    "I'm talking about using the iPad as a control surface to actually control your computer desktop, write on your computer desktop, and project all of that in front of the classroom just as a regular interactive whiteboard does. The only difference: no interactive whiteboard is needed, and you can do this wirelessly using the first generation iPad as well as the second, and that's correct, without tethering your iPad to the projector or the computer with wires."
  •  
    I'm definitely going to try this! I'm hoping it works better than a slate.

Affordable & High-End Web Solutions: Advantages of a responsive web design - 0 views

  •  
    When we talk about a mobile website, then the way of interaction via a smartphone is totally different from that of a desktop website. The biggest change is touch instead of a click and the pixel resolution. While creating a responsive website factors like screen size, support for adobe flash technology and optimized markup are also considered to be very important.
