Main Page - VotApedia - Free Audience Response by Mobile Phone - 0 views

  •  
    VotApedia is an audience response system that doesn't require issuing clickers or need specialist infrastructure. Known users can create surveys and edit the pages on this site. See if your your account has this functionality by looking for the tag "knownuser" next to your account name. If it doesn't and you want it contact Ken.Taylor@csiro.au. You can also look at other people's survey in the recent surveys, or participate in an active survey below. You can read the presentation at the Enterprise 2.0 conference. Audience response systems are widely used for education, but not commonly in Australia. It is hoped that removing the complication and expense of clickers will encourage the use of this teaching aid in Australian educational institutions. VotApedia is intended for co-located audiences but also works with remote audiences which has previously been a different class of application. Surveys are in a multiple choice question (MCQ) form. There is VotApedia Use and Development for more detail about this system.

  • There are now several implementations of multi-user virtual environments (MUVEs) that have produced evidence of their educational validity. These implementations, however, do not make full use of the educational possibilities offered by MUVEs – namely the potential for students to learn through design and construct of artefacts within the virtual environment. This paper outlines a design-based research project that aims to implement and evaluate a MUVE that focuses on student design and construction of in-world artefacts. The discussion covers theoretical groundings, the challenges of construction and outlines a progression of activities that meet these challenges. An initial pilot study is described and reported.

iPads @ school « Tim Kitchen's Blog - 2 views

  • The iPad is not the be all and end all, but it comes close.
  • I believe it won’t be long before we see iPads and equivalent replacing laptops and laptops replacing desktops in schools. The days of the traditional school computer laboratory are numbered.
  •  
    It is important to understand that an iPad is not a laptop replacement. It is also not a shared device, not really suited to a class set however it a wonderful personal asset for teachers and students in the classroom. I've been lucky to have had an iPad now since day 1 in Australia and I'm a big fan of them as a support for teaching and learning. I see the iPad and devices like them being essential companions for students and teachers in the near future.
