W3C Semantic Web Activity - 2 views

  • The Semantic Web is about two things. It is about common formats for integration and combination of data drawn from diverse sources, where on the original Web mainly concentrated on the interchange of documents. It is also about language for recording how the data relates to real world objects. That allows a person, or a machine, to start off in one database, and then move through an unending set of databases which are connected not by wires but by being about the same thing.

Whither the Wikis? - Inside Higher Ed - 2 views

  • “To the extent scholarship in academe is caught up in questions of status, promotion, and tenure,” he says, “then it is slightly misaligned with wiki-style approaches.
  • “For a wiki-based project to succeed within academic culture, I believe it would need to find a way to highlight individual voices in conversation with one another and to reward those individuals for their work, and that just hasn't happened yet
  • Fitzpatrick points to blogs as a new-media invention that satisfies the scholarly desire for attribution.

  • So far, no broadly imagined academic wiki projects have really hit the big time. Citizendium, conceived -- by Wikipedia co-founder Larry Sanger -- as a more rigorously fact-checked alternative to Wikipedia , has only managed to push 140 articles through the vetting process since it was created in 2006 (there is a logjam of 14,000 articles in various phases of review).
  • Discipline-specific wikis are moving quickly,” concedes Jodi Schneider, a spokeswoman for AcaWiki, pointing to such examples as nLab, for math and physics, and OpenWetWare, for biology.
  • While scholars in more settled fields might chafe at a bottom-up model proposed by wikis, a new field such as social informatics might benefit from a space where everything that is known can be collected and discussed, the authors say.
  • While it's true that there aren’t a ton of formally wiki-based scholarship projects out there, there are lots of resources that are, if you like, wiki-inspired,
  • CommentPress
  • Google Docs or Zoho Office
  • the areas where they have gotten the most play in higher education seems to be in classrooms and various administrative apparatuses.
  • Democratic governance bodies, it seems, are more open to attributing work to an anonymous collectivity.

How 'Flipping' the Classroom Can Improve the Traditional Lecture - Teaching - The Chron... - 1 views

  •  
    What happens when students are responsible for reading/accessing the course materials on their own time, and face-to-face class time is dedicated to providing students with opportunities to think critically and independently?
  •  
    But the techniques all share the same underlying imperative: Students cannot passively receive material in class, which is one reason some students dislike flipping. Instead they gather the information largely outside of class, by reading, watching recorded lectures, or listening to podcasts. And when they are in class, students do what is typically thought to be homework, solving problems with their professors or peers, and applying what they learn to new contexts. They continue this process on their own outside class.

Teaching Tool: Blogging a Mass Killing - 1 views

  • Unfortunately I think the process closely resembles the standard model of think, write, and discuss since blog entries are typically written in isolation. You had your students create their blog entries in the same room at the same time after witnessing the same event. This is far from typical. A better idea might have been to have students respond to the same blog post via commenting. This is where you more commonly see multiple opinions/voices related to the same theme - a singular blog entry.

      though the activity was very powerful in terms of students' individual expressions, this commenter has an excellent observation/suggestion

Where is the Student Voice in Assessment? - 1 views

  • But the formative guidance is only useful if it matches and relates to the internal experience of the learner. Otherwise, education is just another thing being done to one, of which one is a quasi passive participant.
