This group has been studying students and their opinions, habits and abilities in researching online and other information tasks, such as interacting with the news. Makes for some interesting reading!
I found this and thought this would be a nice way to introduce where statistics is used at the beginning of a Introduction to Statistics course in an online class.
The post looks at the expanding role of social media in higher education. It addresses 6 tips to build institutional reputation and foster a sense of community.
Extremely thorough overview of problems and solutions to keeping online students engaged, with copious references and resources for further exploration.
This resource is a place to share assessments, lesson plans, activities, and other tools for teaching information literacy concepts in higher education settings. There are a lot of ideas on how to use technology in our teaching.
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,
