    Mark Dohn. He is an EMDT student currently in Month 5 and one of our ADEs. Mark is involved with an organization called impossible2Possible (i2P), which works to inspire today's youth in becoming leaders in both social and environmental action. On October 20th, he will be leaving for the Amazon jungle and will be returning on November 1st. During this time, Mark will have access to video, photos, authentic jungle sounds, and a satellite dish, which can record and transmit information directly to the Internet. Below is a brief description of the trip he will be going on and a link to the i2P site. In October 2010, four i2P Youth Ambassadors will join Ray Zahab, along with fellow i2P ambassadors and adventurers, in this incredible journey through the Tapajos National Forest. Youth ambassadors will trek for up to 8 days - and nearly 200kms - through incredibly dense jungle, swamps and oppressive humidity in a quest to study and learn about the culture and biodiversity of the region. For more information including a ten minute CNN interview with the founders of i2P, you can visit the site here: http://impossible2possible.com/i2p . This is an incredible opportunity for us to connect with i2P and experience how they are implementing technology, experiential learning and a global community to "educate, inspire, and empower" students. The question is, how can we leverage this trip to benefit both Mark and EMDT. Please bring your ideas to the brainstorming session on Thursday, September 22nd from 6:30-7:30 EST in the PD Wimba room. Hope to see everyone there! Thank you in advance, Rena

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.

Why We Switched to Sakai -- Campus Technology - 0 views

education technology LMS nell

shared by Andrew Barras on 13 Oct 10 - No Cached
  • Pepperdine University has made the decision to adopt Sakai as the single, university-wide learning management system (LMS), effective Jan. 1, 2011.
  • because of the significant cost savings that will accrue as a result of this adoption, our decision highlights an approach for proactively dealing with the economic uncertainty arising from the "new normal" that now affects all higher education institutions.
  • Although the LMS often comprises the "third rail" of our technology services, a very large majority of our faculty and students not only support this change, but are applauding it.
  • ...17 more annotations...
  • Five findings led to our decision:
  • Our research suggests that the potential of the LMS to transform teaching and learning is diminishing quickly. While the LMS is vitally important, in the same sense that commodity services such as e-mail, bandwidth, and disk storage are, the LMS by itself can no longer be considered strategic. Rather, it is the mash-up of different types of collaborative technologies, such as blogs, tweets, wikis, social networking sites, online media, and document sharing systems, together with the LMS, that appears to have the greater potential to transform our technology and learning practices.
  • The LMS is important, but is no longer transformative
  • Students prefer Sakai
  • As a part of our planning process, beginning in the summer of 2009, Pepperdine began running Sakai in parallel with our existing LMS.
  • Greater numbers of student respondents preferred Sakai over our current LMS when comparing the following features: announcements, assignments, gradebooks, resources (course materials), forums, calendars, quizzes and tests, dropboxes, and blogs.
  • So do our faculty
  • Faculty respondents preferred Sakai to our current LMS when comparing the following features: assignments, gradebooks, resources (course materials), forums, calendars, and dropboxes.
  • Our IT staff members find Sakai much easier to support
  • Overall, our IT staff finds that supporting Sakai is a remarkable improvement over our current LMS.
  • The financial savings is equivalent to the salaries of two faculty members
  • Our planning process involved the participation of hundreds of faculty and students, required presentations at dozens of meetings, and necessitated buy-in from our faculty and approval by the provost and deans. Serving as a change advocate regarding the effective delivery and use of technology, particularly in the technology and learning space, is an increasingly important role for our IT organization.
  • My words of advice for other IT leaders contemplating similar initiatives include the following:
  • Don't shy away from this type of challenge: Lead
  • Let faculty be your advocates
  • Use data to break the ice with difficult change initiatives
  • resistance to LMS change efforts is often based on closely held myths that sometimes fall apart under scrutiny. Properly used benchmarks and other measures are effective tools in any change initiative.

    Economic pressures from budget cuts and the rising cost of education continue to mount. While students are forced to pay higher tuition fees, share resources, and even drop classes, educators are obligated to creatively "do more with less" by designing curricula that accommodates economic constraints. For forward-thinking learning institutions committed to the cost-effective employment of emerging technologies for communication, collaboration and learning, Second Life supports and amplifies the ongoing mission to deliver world class education.
