Thanks Newman, this is great. Something to keep in mind for students and faculty wanting to publish to iTunes University as well. I have seen several podcasts with blacked out scenes because there wasn't permission to show the content or images that was being presented.

"The 2010 Horizon Report is a collaboration between The New Media Consortium and the EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative An EDUCAUSE Program"

I agree! Mobile Learning is coming and it should be - has the potential to be so much more than improved access. it can be more than simply having access to recorded lectures in your car or on the bus via an iPod. I'm optimistic about the use of twitter and mobile devices to extend the classroom experience and improve communication. But I think we can do more. These mobile devices ( smart phones, Blackberry, iPad) are powerful computers in their own right. Perhaps we should start looking for and bookmarking mobile learning initiatives.

Absolutely. And as luck would have it, some folks on the IT list forum I am a part of have posted some. I'll log in and take a look. I am excited about the portability of information and would love to see such devices invited into the classroom for the purpose of learning instead of just seeing them turned off. When you think about it, mobile devices are pretty powerful mini computers networked to global information that could be, and should be harnessed. The power of google at my fingertips, whenever I need it.

A vision of students today

Digital natives as learners:"Engage them, don't enrage them". This is a video (7:52) that explains some of the issues related to 'Digital Native' students in a non-digital school structure.

Interesting video on today's learners versus standard teaching methods. Well referenced and entertaining. Daivd Warlick is quoted a couple of times

interactive online simulations

Are there concepts in Nursing education that need interactive simulations, such as the ones on this site? Take a look at tell us what you think.

How are course evaluations handled at your institution? As we look for better assessment and evaluation of our students, perhaps we can look to change how they evaluate us.

Nurse Tim (Tim Bristol) has many resources for the media / net savvy nurse and nurse educator.

"Claroline is an Open Source eLearning and eWorking platform allowing teachers to build effective online courses and to manage learning and collaborative activities on the web."

This is an open source LMS, which could be compared to MOODLE

After a quick review, i would say this open source is much more friendly than Moodle and feels more like you are in a microsoft application...definitely worth use

"The goal of providing the handheld device, the school said in a statement, was to improve the learning experience and give students flexible access to health care--related content. The combination media player-camera-video recorder-personal digital assistant with WiFi capabilities was loaded with mobile applications students will need in the classroom as well as an app to help them prepare for the nursing board examination."

What sort of apps would you add to a mobile device for students entering the nursing profession?

What are you all doing with clickers/educational response systems? Are they worth the financial investment? What do you do with the data after you've collected it from students?

Prof. Constance Johnson's video about use of Second Life in Nursing Education

ISTE island is a great place for educators to begin and become involved second life.

"Welcome to RezEd (BETA), an online hub providing practitioners using virtual worlds with access to the highest quality resources and research in the field to establish a strong network of those using virtual worlds for learning."

A good place to network and find educators using Second Life and other virtual worlds in the classroom.

Good concise list of tools for educators

A good introduction to Second Life from Diane Skiba, nursing professor and 2010 iNET conference keynote speaker.
