    "Mouse Mischief integrates into Microsoft PowerPoint 2010 and Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007, letting you insert questions, polls, and drawing activity slides into your lessons. Students can actively participate in these lessons by using their own mice to click, circle, cross out, or draw answers on the screen."

Opeblogi: Missä viipyy pedagoginen sisustusarkkitehtuuri ja kalustesuunnittelu? - 0 views

    Pohjankartanon koulu: Rakennus on vanha 70-luvun alun suoraa ja avaraa arkkitehtuuria. Samassa tilassa toimivat yläkoulun lisäksi Madetojan musiikkilukio ja Oulun opisto. Koulu sijaitsee lähellä rautatie-asemaa. Suuri aulatila on toiminut jo aiemmin messukäytössä ja nyt InnoAula-kalustus ja sisustushankkeen jälkeen vielä paremmin.

The Golden Ratio of OER « iterating toward openness - 0 views

  • The more people I talk to, the more convinced I am that OER has failed to establish a digestible value proposition for formal education.
  • That gives us a golden ratio of OER that looks something like: change in performance (as standard deviation) : change in money spent on curriculum (as percentage)

Tuleva yliopisto. Salminen, Suoranta, Vadén 2009 Online Free | education | YUDU - 0 views

    "Nettikirjassamme Tuleva yliopisto hahmottelemme uusia, tulevia yliopistoja: Lokavidaya-yliopisto, wikiyliopisto, näkymätön yliopisto, köyhä yliopisto, sissiyliopisto, elämän, taidon ja lihan yliopisto, keskiaikainen yliopisto, autonominen, globaali yliopisto, off-the-grid-yliopisto... Uusi yliopisto on tuleva! Muttei niin kuin Valtio halusi, vaan kuten minä, sinä ja me tahdomme. Uutena markkinoidussa yliopistossa ja laissa poikkeustila on hallinnan paradigma: kerro, kuvaa, auditoi, arvioi, muuta! Sori vaan, mutta tulevat yliopistot luodaan toisin kuin valtionhallinto kuvitteli: ne tehdään yhdessä, keskenämme, hyppäämällä nykyisestä asiantuntijakulttuurista yhdessä oppimisen ja toimimisen kulttuuriin. Ei enää reaktioita ja resistanssia, vaan aktiivisuutta ja omaehtoisia tekoja. Tulevat yliopistot asettavat ehdot valtiolle, rahalle, ministeriöille. Tämä on merkitys, jonka annamme autonomialle, yliopistolle, meille, maailmalle."

JIME - Building Open Educational Resources from the Ground Up: South Africa's Free High... - 0 views

  • Ultimately this involves instilling practices within the organization or project that imitate the very characteristics of the resources that OER projects serve to create and support.
  • In March 2002, Mark Horner, a graduate student in physics at the University of Cape Town (UCT), presented a demonstration on waves at a science fair in South Africa. After the demonstration, several high school students approached him, explaining that they did not have a science textbook, and had never had wave phenomena described to them before. The students had pooled their money to purchase a notebook and pen, and they asked Horner to write down the demonstration, step by step, so they could share the notes with their classmates and teachers. Wanting to give the students more than the steps of a wave demonstration, Horner returned to UCT and engaged his colleagues in writing a high school science text that would be free and sharable for all teachers and learners in South Africa. In the process, Free High School Science Texts (FHSST) was born.
  • Through its communication and networking channels, the project grew from an original group of five graduate students who wrote the content locally, to over 420 volunteers who have, since 2002, signed up for an account and logged onto the project website.[[3]] The number of active and sustained contributors of content, however, was smaller—about 50 volunteer authors globally, from South Africa to India, Pakistan, Scotland, and the United States. Of these 50 active volunteers, approximately ten became core participants, contributing content regularly and consistently (i.e., weekly).
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • Getting volunteers set up to use the CVS repository was a laborious process, and volunteers needed extensive technical understanding. As a result, this placed a substantial burden on the core team volunteers, who had to facilitate contributions from the other volunteers. To lessen this burden, the project experimented with WikiBooks.
  • As a result, FHSST shifted to a third solution, the eventual development and implementation of a content management system (CMS)[[5]]. Drupal was chosen because it was free, relatively easy to set up, and met volunteer needs effectively.
  • In order to submit content to FHSST within the Drupal system, volunteers signed up on the FHSST website, logged on, and chose from the list of available assignments based upon their expertise and interests. The sign-up and log-on processes did not require a screening for credentials. During the initial stages of the project, people volunteered to complete large sections of text, such as chapters. However, FHSST soon found that many of the sections were not being completed within expected timeframes. As a result, FHSST began to divide volunteer tasks into smaller assignments, such as portions of chapters, drawings, illustrations, activities, and examples. FHSST noted that this adaptation facilitated volunteers’ ability to consistently complete assignments within expected timeframes.
  • Since its inception, FHSST offered face-to-face work sessions in which volunteers in the same geographic area met together to develop content collaboratively
  • hackathons
  • The aim of our trials was to identify the weaknesses in the books to inform our second-round editing process and make sure we fix the issues to make the books as usable as possible to our target audience. We also wanted to identify […] what is the [science] laboratory situation at the schools? Do they have equipment to do the experiments so that we could […] tailor our content accordingly.
  • experimentation and adaptation are central components of an open education projects’ ability to sustain itself
  • Since FHSST did not obtain funding until four years after its inception,
