Waypoint - 0 views

  •  
    Waypoint is an observation evaluation application that allows instructors to manage information and data on individual students in a more mobile, flexible manner. Users can keep track of observations, one or multiple, across a classroom in either a synchronous or asynchronous manner. Most assessment tools are not designed to be mobile, nor are they compatible with the iPad. Waypoint's commitment to this modality, along with its effective system makes it a valuable tool for instructors seeking to assess students in an authentic manner.

TaskStream - 0 views

  •  
    TaskStream is a workflow management system for performance assessments evaluation. The system provides templates for building rubrics, as well as the ability to publish specific assessments for individuals to complete. The rubric templates are especially useful for authentic assessment, as they allow for the creation of low-inference rubrics geared towards true performance assessment. Whether the individual participant uploads and artifact or the instructor chooses to observe the participants, TaskStream can help manage the process and ensure validity and management.

Thinking Worlds - 0 views

  •  
    Thinking Worlds is a software application that makes the creation of virtual worlds relatively simple in comparison to other applications. Users can design and publish virtual worlds as simple or as complex as necessary for given projects. In circumstances where the training is geared around more "hands on" initiatives, or where participants will participate remotely, virtual worlds can provide more interaction and context for learning. This type of simulated environment is often very expensive to develop and very complicated to manage. As the technology improves, however, innovative applications such as Thinking Worlds make the process much more efficient and cost-effective.

Lectora - 0 views

  •  
    Lectora is a flash-based application that allows you to create more interactive, engaging presentations. When compared to PowerPoint, the application seems to have far more depth and capabilities, allowing the user to design and build fully integrated presentations. PowerPoint and similar applications, while valuable in some regard, tend to be boring for participants to view. In addition, it is at times difficult to create interactions in these applications. Lectora is specifically designed to be more engaging and interactive, both when viewed independently by participants, and when employed at the group level in a training.

Bubbl.us - 2 views

  •  
    Bubbl.us is an online graphic organizer that allows one to arrange bubbles in a manner that illustrates relationships. Although it is online, you can export your graphic, print it directly from the application, or save it for future use. As a Flash-based application, Bubbl.us is not necessarily the perfect solution for all computer users, especially Apple users. However, the application overall is quite strong and useful, either as a trainer resource for organizing content, or as a participant resource, used as a means for them to take notes or organize the information they are presented.

EducationEye - 0 views

  •  
    This site is both useful for organizing information, and for exploring information that others have posted. It is particularly useful for organizing websites or other online media. The interface is relatively easy to use and the social component makes this particular graphic organizer particularly attractive.

Mendeley - 0 views

  •  
    If your training is research-based, Mendeley is a great option for creating collaboration and discussion around scholarly publications. You can upload specific documents, including research papers and journal articles, and share access to the documents with a group of individuals. In addition, participants can comment on and discuss the documents. Mendeley offers a database for referencing resources, as well as some social networking resources that can help participants begin to understand content that will later be used on the training.

Infographic - An Education in For-Profit Education - 2 views

  •  
    This inforgraphic provides data to the reader in an engaging, well-organized manner. It introduces a number of terms that can be built upon later in trainings, and it does so in an easily accessible, yet engaging manner. It allows one, later, to reference the specific information during discussions or other activities. This format is more desirable and potentially effective than other mediums because it is concise and easily manageable. It doesn't require a great deal of reading to understand, which is important in pre-training.
