How one newspaper rebooted its workflow with Google Docs and WordPress - O'Reilly Radar - 3 views

  •  
    This could be altered to create a heck of an eLearning design workflow.

    Very interesting. The screencast is helpful in understanding how they automated the connection between Google Docs and WordPress. I'm going to send this to Matt to make sure he sees it.
  •  
    They definitely take it to the next level with the API from Gdocs into WordPress. Could be an interesting 'meth lab' experiment. The other big piece to such a system would be the media management integration element. Very cool stuff.
  •  
    From the technical side, this is music to my ears given the bad place we are with some other of our other CMSes: "WordPress has a great API and it's very extendable - we've been able to easily change pretty much any part of the CMS without hacking the core, which allows us to maintain the integrity of the system."

    how to stop worrying and embrace the google docs......

    Brad and Matt: can the two of you talk? When Matt and I discussed this, I suggested that we could give something like this a try with our Hot Team white papers as a test to see how the pieces would fit together.

    "Zohra Guisse, a lecturer in French and Arabic at Penn State Berks, is one of 11 faculty members selected across the University to participate in Penn State's Mobile Media Pilot program. The program, an initiative of the Penn State Media Commons, will explore how mobile devices can be used in students' media production workflow."

Interactive Whiteboard Meets the iPad | MindShift - 2 views

  • Kim told me he wants to enable anyone to build their own portfolio of educational content – to build hundreds of Khan Academies. That’s a goal that puts teacher- and student-generated content at the center of education, one enabled by a simple, but smoothly functioning app — all on a portable device.
  • At the same time as many educators are rethinking the hardware involved with instruction, some are rethinking other ways in technology can change the classroom. Some are experimenting with the “flipped classroom” — the idea, made quite famous lately thanks to Khan Academy, that videotaped instruction can be assigned as homework, while in-class time can be used for more personalized remediation, for collaboration among teachers and students, and for the types of exercises that have typically been seen as homework. A new app taps into both of these phenomena: bringing an interactive whiteboard-like experience to the iPad and to the Web and making it easy for iPad owners to create their own instructional videos.

    very interesting development. we've been holding off on ipads in engineering because of a lack of streamlined screencasting workflow. I wonder if other example-heavy STEM disciplines at PSU (chem, math, stats, etc) might be interested in a pilot of some kind?
  •  
    I'm having conversations along these lines on several fronts. I asked Hannah to look into a system that could replicate the Kahn Academy stuff. Carol McQuiggan has some faculty who are interested in the model. Chris Lucas and I may talk about it as well, related to creating open training resources. I've also brought Chris Millet into the mix because this could line up with some of the work he is doing with lecture capture (not capturing lectures per se, but a lot of the software options have the ability to let faculty create screen capture tutorials and have them automatically upload to a server along with their voice annotation.

Matt, the first thing to do is install either the bookmarklet on safari or the extensions for firefox. Makes using it a breeze!

Digital Research in the Liberal Arts | A Digital Learning Lab for Faculty - 2 views

  • After months (okay, maybe weeks) of planning, I’m excited to announce the introduction of the College of the Liberal Arts iPad Summer Research Project (CLAISRP?  Perhaps this is an initiative that is better left without an acronym.) We in the Liberal Arts are already exploring the utility of the iPad for classroom use, thanks to the efforts of Stuart Selber.
