    This is a long presentation - but the middle bit is an exercise which can be skipped - about the problems of sharing good practice in education - well worth watching given that a lot of what we do is that.
  •  
    At last...I found the link I was looking for. I started to watch this and got drawn into the fact that it was done with the Echo360 system that we use. It looks like a different version of the system though. I've always wondered how worthwhile video is in these cases but I found myself quite liking the video. Maybe that's because I'm a "distance learner". Perhaps video isn't as necessary for people who were at the presentation and are using this for review?

    I've watched most of it so far. I also really appreciate the video - I think the inclusion of it does help you feel more like you are part of a human group. Now, I'd also appreciate the other delivery methods echo does (e.g. ipod) for reviewing something, but it is good to have options to tailor to the individual. I also like the (new?) possibility of switching the layout so that the video is the 'larger' screen some (but not all) of the time. Mostly comments on the software, but the talk was interesting too!

    Michael Wesch video - July 2008 - good critique of the state of education and our failure to keep up with changes
  •  
    I have to admit that I'm a big fan of Prof Wesch. His "The machine is using us" video on YouTube is still one of my favourite Web2.0 resources. He's going to be one of the keynote speakers at the ALT-C conference in September this year...the conference has a terrible sounding theme.." 'In dreams begins responsibility' - choice, evidence, and change "...yuk.

    Have you seen the "Dim the lights" feature on the video player? How camp is that? It's the usual suspects on here...Harvard, Yale, Stanford, MIT...wonder if anyone outside the States is going to partner with them. It's got an interesting "Playlist" feature, which isn't your own playlist but a playlist compiled by an "editor" which can feature videos from across different institutions. Quite neat.

    Use of camtasia and a tablet pc to create short videos of the lecturer talking through the worked answers for a maths course, much as they would in class on a blackboard.

Justice: A Journey in Moral Reasoning, Michael J. Sandel - 0 views

    Program page about the Justice course at Harvard. Effectively an example of an advertisement/trailer video for a course + some details.

    I want to do the course after watching it! Large lecture hall filled with students (apparently) paying attention.

    Very interesting website. Should give us lots of food for thought for our ESD website discussions that are supposed to be happening soon.

    E-book - I have not read it but it looks comprehensive
  •  
    I have read it (so has Sam I think). It is well worth reading through (at least quickly) to see the range of ideas. There are some good, fairly fundamental, things to think about e.g. encouraging social spaces, flexible spaces, group learning spaces etc. There are also some videos of some british learning spaces somewhere - I'll see if I can find the link.

  • The story of the frustrated student is the subject of a short video produced by students at Manchester Metropolitan University. The university is looking into alternative ways to communicate with students, specifically an SMS service in which messages are sent directly to students’ mobile phones. The system is incredibly simple: staff post a message to the Virtual Learning Environment (VLE), and if the message is urgent, the staff member begins the message with the keyword ‘urgent’. The next 160 characters are then sent as an SMS. It’s an opt-in system which students value - not least because they are more likely to receive the messages if they go straight to their mobile device.

Constructive and Destructive Group Behaviors | Teaching and Learning Excellence - 0 views

  •  
    Inspired to bookmark this from the grad attributes consultation in which one group had two members who were engaging in 'destructive group behaviours' (brought onto the straight and narrow eventually by a skilled facilitator) ... I have heard it suggested that if groups are being derailed by dominating or digressing types, it can be useful for the whole group to sit down and consider what kind of group member they are in order to limit their unhelpful behaviours and get the group working well again.
  •  
    I missed out on the session today so I'm not sure of the context of this, I can imagine though! As an aside...this is a very interesting web site all round...I've just been watching a presentation on "How people learn" and it's interesting from the point of view of the subject matter and from the perspective of how the material has been made available. I know Giles is working hard trying to put together videos of some of our own academics talking about teaching and I look forward to seeing them!

Google Asks Common Man "What is a Browser?" Common Man Has No Clue - 0 views

  •  
    This is kind of related to the conversations we've had lately about digital natives...there's lots of folks out there using the web but there's still only a few that understand what's going on underneath.
  •  
    Fun but ultimately quite thought provoking. Bloke from Google goes to Time Square to ask what a browser is. Less than 8% of people asked knew.
