    Interesting experiment with peer assessment from a Duke prof. She stopped assigning marks (though she read every piece of work and gave feedback), the students marked each others' work, and the quality of the work improved.

    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.

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!

graduate attributes transitions project

  • a lang on 20 Jul 09
     
    Quick commentary piece on working-class students being disadvantaged at universities that made me think of the Transitions project. Also of interest to the Graduate Attributes project: Goldsmiths' mission statement. It offers "a transformative experience, generating knowledge and stimulating self-discovery through creative, radical and intellectually rigorous thinking and practice."

    Immediately made me think about someone in a College department, which will remain nameless, who proudly proclaims that they fail a large number of students...like it's some kind of badge of honour! This article would appear to hit the nail on the head but unfortunately it's a problem that's doesn't have a "simple" solution like lowering entrance standards or handing out more Oxbridge scholarships.

    I like danah boyd's work on social media - her writing is very easy to read and always resists & deconstructs the simplifications that the mainstream media come up with in relation to technology and society. This talk is not as research-y as her other papers, but I like it because to a tech-novice such as myself it explains some of the principles behind social networking in easily comprehensible ways. The five properties of social media and three dynamics towards the end of the paper have been helpful for me in thinking about how to understand, and manage, the online mentoring for our social networking project.

    Adobe Connect web meeting app - available for free for up to three participants (including host - only one who needs to sign up). Participants simply go to the host's meeting room url (which is easy to remember) and can use webcams/audio, share screen/windows, type messages and meeting notes, use the whiteboard, exchange files.

    I have an account and tested it with Carl. For me - seemed to work well and could be a useful (and free) way of conducting, say, a tutorial with feedback for someone who couldn't physically be there for whatever reason. Anyone who wants to try, let me know and I'll invite you to the meeting room.

    Looks very good - liked the way it went straight to gmail to find contacts - lets try it more widely.

    We recommended this to the folks running a Clinical Dermatology course for holding their virtual tutorials and it seemed to work pretty well. It does require quite an up to date version of the Flash player which can be a problem...i.e. anyone attempting to use a student service machine or some staff with 'managed' computers won't be able to use it. I believe Electronic Engineering have forked out for the "pro" version...or at least they have in the past. As usual with Adobe stuff,,,it looks slick! DimDim is another web-conferencing thingy that seems to get a lot of press...haven't used it myself. Elluminate is another one that I've seen used at several meetings I've been to recently.

    Not an article that is dismissive of classrooms but one that ponders what works in a classroom and where classroom teaching fits in the larger spectrum.

    Quite a lot of relevance to the "You can't do that in a classroom" link posted recently.

    Using a Livescribe pen, a document camera and Jing (screen recording) to make a 'Mathcast/Pencast'. Could be useful, as it can combine old fashioned 'chalkboard' type work with screencasting/recording technologies.

    Coauthored by Ien Ang who is a scholar whose work I like. From the intro: "This paper emerges out of an interest in exploring the possible implications of Web 2.0 for the practice of humanities research. Scholars in the humanities have traditionally been dependent on the written word - on the production of intellectually dense discourse - and, in this producerly mode, they tend to be individualist, sole researchers. How can they respond to the challenges posed by Web 2.0 and its seemingly irresistible promotion of a participatory, expressive, and highly visual mode of cultural production?"

    One of the main strands of Connectivist learning theory is Rhizomatic learning - based on some philosophical work - this is quite a good introduction and discussion of its application in a particular area.

e-portfolios

shared by David Andrew on 11 Mar 09 - Cached
  • NGTiP09 Portfolio typology further to Flourish Eportfolio needs to be discussed in respect of at least four dimensions:  1 Process - collection, selection, reflection, presentation  2 Tools and artefacts: - portfolio: items, systems, presentations (CV, assessed piece of work, etc)  3 Areas of application: - PDP, CPD, PDR, competency assessment, personal reflection  4 Cultures of use: - Disciplines, educational sector, professional bodies, learner preference, maturity, aptitude, attitude  Eportfolio processes are done with tools to produce artefacts for particular purposes. The tool and its habit of use has an effect on the shape of the artefact that it produces. The culture of the site of application determines the habit of use of the tool: there is a "way things are done 'round here."  One size won't fit all. Comments [0]

facilitation

shared by David Andrew on 29 May 09 - No Cached
  • This glossary provides an overview on essential tools for virtual facilitation. It has been elaborated by the RTVC team: Sofia, Hans, Stephan, Suresh, Lucy, Holger, Julian and Michael and enriched by tools taken from the Knowledge Sharing Toolkit of CGIAR. We understand the concept of virtual facilitation in a broad sense, so we have included tools for sychronous and asynchronous conversations. Feel free to ad the tools you like. This glossary works like a wiki, so every registered user is allowed to add, edit and comment.
