  • This is a great utility for reading text back to you from any document or screen.  Great for students and also for those of us preparing texts.  A great way to check our work.
  • This is another animation package, a bit like Pivot. Only this one is entirely online, no programmes to install and has a more graphic quality to it. You build up your shape with basic building blocks and then animate. A simple and intuitive interface and when combined with CamStudio a real winner I think.
  • Spybot search and destroy is an extremely powerful malware attack program that allows you to surf the Internet with all the nasties blocked at the browser level.  A great bit of code that needs to be supported.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • This is a great looking tool that allows you to add real creativity to your wiki, blog or website.  There is a little snippet of code that needs to be embedded  on your site and then the application runs.
  • This is a great tool for literacy.  It enables students to create their own story
  • This utility allows you to create your own widgets for your website, wiki, social networking site etc.  It allows you to create bespoke widgets, embed Flash or HTML code or simply use an RSS feed.
  • Zamzar:  This is a free online service that allows you to convert almost any file into another format that you wish.  Great for converting .flv video files into something that you can play on your computer or mp3 player.
  • Zoho: Zoho is a complete suite of online tools that are designed to increase your online functionality.  It is free to join and is well worth spending some time with the range of 18 applications for you to choose from to ascertain just how you could utilise these tools in your classroom.

  •  
    I (Jane Hart) am often asked for the names of (e-)learning professionals - from both education and corporate learning - as well as other related professionals to follow on Twitter. I started this list with 101 names on it, now thanks to many people who have submitted recommendations, it has grown. If you know someone you think should be on the list, email me. The list is displayed in alphabetical order by Twitter username.

  •  
    You can search for interactive timelines on different topics (history, films, science, etc.) or even better, you can create your own timeline about your life or an event and add pictures and text. This is great for teaching! Students could create their timelines and share it with each other. They can practise all four skills, grammar (e. g. past tense), summarising a story, events, etc. You can embed it on your web site or blog and also create feeds (Twitter, blog, etc.).

Are wired kids well served by schools? | Tech news blog - CNET News.com - 0 views

  • PALO ALTO, Calif.--Among the generation of kids growing up wired, many teens are hyper-motivated to learn a special skill like how to create a podcast, direct a YouTube video, publish an anime site, or hack an iPhone. Now if only teachers could inspire such ingenuity.

      They don't mention it here, but collaboration can be added also, meaningful collaboration, not what you typically see in the classroom.

Hard data on online learning in Ontario - 4 views

  • Ontario is I believe unique in that it has actually surveyed what is happening.
  • Ontario’s data of 13% fully online, and 64% hybrid in undergraduate teaching in Ontario, suggests that e-learning is now a significant reality in post-secondary education
  • shows that Ontario has a very lively, extensive and effective online education scene. It provides an essential baseline for the development of the Ontario Online Institute.

Martin Dougiamas Keynote at Moodlemoot Canada | Some Random Thoughts - 0 views

  • Martin Dougiamas presented the keynote at the Canadian Moodlemoot in Edmonton.
  • Martin updated us with the current stats on Moodle 54,000 verified sites worldwide. 41 Million users 97 language packs (17 fully complete, the rest are in various states) 54 Moodle Partners who fund the project and its going very well ensuring the project will continue into the future. (such as Remote-Learner who I work for) USA still has the highest raw number of installations and Spain has half of that with much less population. Brazil is now 3rd in the world and has overtaken the UK now in total installs. 3 of the top 10 are English speaking per head of population, Portugal has the largest number of Moodle installations.
  • As many may have seen before, there are 10 steps of pedagogical usage of Moodle, which is outlined on Moodle Docs. It details the typical 10 step progression which looks like: Putting up the handouts (Resources, SCORM) Providing a passive Forum (unfacilitated) Using Quizzes and Assignments (less management) Using the Wiki, Glossary and Database tools (interactive content) Facilitate discussions in Forums, asking questions, guiding Combining activities into sequences, where results feed later activities Introduce external activities and games (internet resources) Using the Survey module to study and reflect on course activity Using peer-review modules like Workshop, giving students more control over grading and even structuring the course in some ways Conducting active research on oneself, sharing ideas in a community of peers

  •  ”a lot of people find that giving students the ability to teach is a valuable learning process” – Martin Dougiamas.
  • A lot of people want that secure private place in the LMS with big gates, with students needing to gain competencies and knowledge.  Many people really want this “Content Pump” focus, becuase it is what they need. Others use it as a community of practitioners, connected activities, content created by students and teachers alike and many methods of assessment. These are the two ends of the spectrum of usage.
  • Moodle has two roles: to be progressive and integrate with things coming up, and a drag and drop UI, with innovate workflows and improve media handling and mobile platforms to be conservative and improve  security and usability and assessment , accredition, detailed management tracking and reports and performance and stability
  • Since Moodle 1.9 came out three years ago,  March 2008 and most are still using the three year old code which has had fixes applied since then (1.9.11 is the current release.) The support for 1.9 will continue until the middle of 2012 as it is understood that it will be a big move to Moodle2.   “If you are going to Moodle2, you may as well go to Moodle 2.1 as it is better with 6 months more work” .
  • However, the ongoing support for each release will be 1 yr moving to the future. Moodle will be released every 6 months which enables the organisations to plan their upgrade times ahead of time.
  • What will be in Moodle 2.1? Performance Restore 1.9 backups Quiz/question refactor Page course format Interface polishing Official Mobile app (there now is a Mobile division)
  • HQ are working on an official app which uses Moodle 2 built-in web services. This provides a secure access to the data in Moodle 2 for people who have accounts in Moodle which greatly benefits mobile apps.
  • Moodle HQ has looked at what is Mobile really good at and identified them one by one and implemented them.  This includes messaging, list of participants in your course, marking attendence (in class roll call). This will be for the iPhone first and then someone will make it for Android so it will lag behind, but will be the same.
  • What is going to happen in 2.2 and beyond?
  • Grading and Rubrics Competency Tracking (from activity level, course level, outside courses to generate a competency profile) Assignment (planning to combine all 4 into one type and simplify it) Forum (big upgrade probably based on OU Forum) Survey (to include feedback/questionnaire – being rewritten currently) Lesson Scorm 2 Improved reporting IMS LTI IMS CC (although it is in 1.9 needs to be redone)
  •  
    An important overview for any one using Moodle, especially useful for those contemplating an upgrade to 2.0 .  (I'll make the move when we have 2.1 or 2.2.)
