Otter processes your audio or video files - in real time or after they are created - and generates a text file with a transcript. It automatically recognizes and designates different speakers, and allows you to give them names before downloading the text file. The fee tier gives 600 minutes of transcription per month. I am uploading my lecture videos after they are generated, and posting the transcriptions in my LMS for students.

As much as I appreciated this article for how it addresses the benefits of an avatar with virtual reality learning, I mostly appreciated the real-world support VR could offer-including virtual reality field trips. Discovery Education and Google Expeditions seem to be frontrunners for virtual reality field trips. However, I would also like to support my students in creating their own virtual reality locales/research sites. All the best, Viggy (C.A.) #TT2021

This article is one I wrote a couple years ago that I believe is relevant for this course - it was published in International Journal of Instructional Technology and Distance Learning. The link is to the whole issue - mine starts on page 21. Thanks - Becky

This is an easy app to use to provide videos for your students. I used this to prepare a video of a teaching model for my A&P students. YouTube Video: https://youtu.be/-9ZBZSHqqzo

This is an interesting article that discusses the importance of creating "community" with social media and how it's important to incorporate into the classroom. The startling statistic that the authors cite is that 96% of students are using at least 1 form of social media.

Students hate discussion boards and mostly feel like they don't get anything out of them. They go into check box mode and real dialogue is lost. How can we fix them?

I used discussion board for 2 full semesters. I received feedback from my students in both ways: course reflection and my performance evaluation. The feedback was very positive. The assignment for the discussion boards would include an actual company with specific operations (inventory, quality, process design, etc.). Students were free to answer any questions and required provide a feedback to at least one of the classmates answer. Students felt connected to their classmates, shared different views, had an opportunity to learn from each other.

The title is a bit misleading but some of the recommendations discussed can definitely spark some life into DBs. DBs are a good way to foster engagement but unless properly done can mostly be seen by students as a one and done exercise.

How one professor and students use twitter to drive class discussion participation

@hnoore681 Thanks for sharing! Just wanted to keep in mind of those who don't have an account, and those who don't want to have one. That's when UDL comes into play. I am also exploring https://grouptweet.com/blog/step-by-step-guide-to-managing-a-classroom-twitter-account-with-grouptweet.

@chreych I am always curious about this. Since twitter is free, if they do not have an account - can't we ask them to create one for use in the classroom?

This is a really easy program to create videos/screencasts. You get a link that you can post in course emails/announcements/assignments/syllabi, etc. It doesn't caption yet but I have put in the request for this feature. I use the free version.

the book about tips to help to teach online courses

Quizalize Premium is Free if your school has closed due to Covid-19. Create fun quizzes for use in the classroom or remotely.

Scroll down to the part of the article that discusses Pinterest. Pinterest can be great for creating a digital portfolio. I like this idea.

I used this to create a set of flashcards to share among peers. You can access from the web browser, mobile device, and computer or laptop. You can set goals to cover 20 flashcards per day and flag the confidence level.

Create online polls anywhere.

Or classroom. Digital Flipbooks like "Flipsnack" are an interesting way to create online content that connects learners with innovation. Through virtually flipping pages you can add .pdf's, url's, meme's, gifs, and other digital content to be stored in one virtual textbook. This would be great for manuals, textbooks, or any type of file sharing.

Tips on creating a podcast easily. May be a helpful way to provide information outside of textbooks and online readings!

This is an online tool that I have used to create a simple Jeopardy game quickly and easily. It is very user friendly and has almost no learning curve.
