EET Learns

A nice compilation of learning objects centered about teaching, learning, and course design.

he Design Thinking Toolkit for Educators contains the process and methods of design, adapted specifically for the context of education.

A Model of Learning Objectivesbased on a Taxonomy for Learning, Teaching, and Assessing:A Revision of Bloom's Taxonomy of Educational Objectives

An interactive version of Bloom's Taxonomy - good resource.

This taxonomy is not about the tools and technologies, these are just the medium, instead it is about using these tools to achieve, recall, understanding, application, analysis, evaluation and creativity

Weird. Why is this titled Evernote? Isn't it Netvibes?

Are you implying that this is my fault?

yes . .

"The online Master of Education program in instructional design and technology at my school, West Texas A&M University, has more than doubled its admissions during the last two years, even as similar programs nationwide have struggled. This is because we consistently honor six very simple practices in every course in the program. During my career as a senior instructional designer at Microsoft and Boeing, these practices were universal for online instruction. I have been shocked to learn how many online college courses incorporate none of them. So, with apologies, here we go:"

I really appreciate all the links you put up Connie, thanks :)

"Thinking developmentally is one of those instructional design issues that we don't do often enough. We understand that different learning experiences are appropriate for students at different levels. We expect a higher caliber of work from seniors than from those just starting college. But how often do we purposefully design a progression of learning experiences? "

Links to many resources for enhancing PPTs, along with other technology related topics.

We may have already looked at this, but it's a great tool.

I love this info-graphic, great information with examples all contained within one page- great find!

I heard a great interview with the founder of The Noun Project on CBC's The Spark. This project offers some excellent simple, clean icons for easy use. Food for thought!

This a collaborative table I made with my group in one of my courses. There are some great brainstorming and visualization tools on here.

Strategies for Creating Social Presence This section examines strategies that will help establish and maintain social presence within online environments. In this section, I offer strategies for the three groups of individuals involved with the three functions of these environments: (1) course designers (course design), (2) instructors (delivery and management), and (3) participants (participation). In reviewing the literature, the main responsibility for creating social presence is placed on the instructors. However, based on my personal experience as an online course designer and online course participant, I contend that the responsibility for establishing and maintaining social presence extends beyond the role of the instructor

Very cool announcement. It will be interesting to see if textbook prices will drop? I have been super impressed with some books on the iPad and others are super lame. With the new authoring tool it will be interesting to see what we can do with our own content!

I think this post puts the iBook announcement (and Apple's role in education) into perspective: http://www.hackeducation.com/2012/01/19/apple-and-the-textbook-counter-revolution/

A. Openess B. Greater insight into the knowledge and creation process C. Mobile Learning D. Alternative forms of assessment (badges) E. Rethinking the classroom environment

These are a few solutions for viewing flash on an Apple device.

"This conundrum calls into question one of the most significant contemporary educational movements. Advocates for giving schools a major technological upgrade - which include powerful educators, Silicon Valley titans and White House appointees - say digital devices let students learn at their own pace, teach skills needed in a modern economy and hold the attention of a generation weaned on gadgets. "

This is very interesting - describes courses we should take to survive in the world today. Includes vidoes and visuals . . .

Thanks Chris- Great Article.
