    "When Full Sail University of Winter Park, FL, launched its distance education program in 2007, the institution started looking for a quick and easy way to capture video and audio and then edit those components and prep them for online streaming. Already using lecture capture to handle audio files, the school turned to its existing vendor to explore other tools."

Blog U.: Student Affairs and Technology - Inside Higher Ed - 1 views

  • Most of our students are not on Twitter. In fact, most people are not on Twitter. Do these statements dissuade me from promoting the use of Twitter when I speak at conferences? Not at all. Twitter is an amazing communication and engagement tool. I am frequently on Twitter asking questions, sharing information, and networking with other higher education professionals. Web-based microblogging is an exceptionally powerful medium.
  • ow many people are following your account. In fact, when it comes to prospective students, I would posit that followers, while an interesting metric, are not all that important. Twitter is like a tuning fork for student opinions, feedback, and observation. Using targeted Twitter search queries, an admissions officer can find out quite a bit of information.

From Knowledgable to Knowledge-able: Learning in New Media Environments | Academic Commons - 0 views

  • While most of our classrooms were built under the assumption that information is scarce and hard to find, nearly the entire body of human knowledge now flows through and around these rooms in one form or another, ready to be accessed by laptops, cellphones, and iPods. Classrooms built to re-enforce the top-down authoritative knowledge of the teacher are now enveloped by a cloud of ubiquitous digital information where knowledge is made, not found, and authority is continuously negotiated through discussion and participation.
  • This new media environment can be enormously disruptive to our current teaching methods and philosophies.
  • Our physical structures were built prior to an age of infinite information, our social structures formed to serve different purposes than those needed now, and the cognitive structures we have developed along the way now struggle to grapple with the emerging possibilities.
  • ...12 more annotations...
  • Stadium seating, sound-absorbing panels and other acoustic technologies are designed to draw maximum attention to the professor at the front of the room.
  • The “message” of this environment is that to learn is to acquire information, that information is scarce and hard to find (that's why you have to come to this room to get it), that you should trust authority for good information, and that good information is beyond discussion (that's why the chairs don't move or turn toward one another). In short, it tells students to trust authority and follow along.
  • Most of our assumptions about information are based on characteristics of information on paper.
  • Even something as simple as the hyperlink taught us that information can be in more than one place at one time
  • Blogging came along and taught us that anybody can be a creator of information.
  • Wikipedia has taught us yet another lesson, that a networked information environment allows people to work together in new ways to create information that can rival (and even surpass) the content of experts by almost any measure.
  • Our old assumption that information is hard to find, is trumped by the realization that if we set up our hyper-personalized digital network effectively, information can find us.
  • It is like continuously working with thousands of research associates around the world.
  • Unfortunately, many teachers only see the disruptive possibilities of these technologies when they find students Facebooking, texting, IMing, or shopping during class.
  • We have had our why's, how's, and what's upside-down, focusing too much on what should be learned, then how, and often forgetting the why altogether.
  • All of this vexes traditional criteria for assessment and grades. This is the next frontier as we try to transform our learning environments.
  • Content is no longer king, but many of our tools have been habitually used to measure content recall.

Can Video Games Be Good For You?| The Committed Sardine - 0 views

  • Can a videogame teach you to be a better person? Given that many centre around shooting people in the face, that might seem ridiculous. But games have been used for centuries to teach skills: it is theorised that chess was developed as a training tool for Persian army officers.
