Learning Theories & Models for Educational Research & Practice.

Article discusses how social bookmarking can act as a supplement or replacement to textbooks and course-packs/reading lists and the impact implications for online and offline learning

Thank you, Xena. I have similar thoughts as Ivan. After trying social bookmarking on my own, I am evaluating whether or not to introduce it in my proposed project. The only concern is that: will it become a potential problem as more TEAP weaved into the module?

Thanks, Xena. Useful to get the student perspective on social bookmarking.

Useful guide in our attempt to put to good use the knowledge related to online communities.

A Step-by-Step Guide for Designing and Cultivating Communities of Practice in Higher Education.

Good breakdown and explanation of Blended Learning as an approach to learning and teaching. This combines and aligns learning undertaken in face to face sessions with learning opportunities created online.

Open education resources uses of video simulations

Skilled and dedicated educators, who are committed to providing their students the best possible learning opportunities, are a cornerstone of Iowa State University. CELT offers a variety of online and face-to-face resources for faculty, staff and graduate students who wish to practice effective teaching strategies and enhance student learning.

- I can't remember who posted this from our TEAP class or where! :( I like it's practical stance and it's useful starting points for truly integrating video and media into teaching design.

A handy infographic looking at different methods of online research and gives a flowchart with different web search options.

Tools are always in demand. Sam, have you used any of proposed (less popular ones).

Blended Learning is an approach to learning and teaching which combines and aligns learning undertaken in face to face sessions with learning opportunities created online.

Vimeo is the home for high-quality videos and the people who love them.

Changing the context for learning can really stimulate learners to engage with a subject, critically and personally.

Ed, this is something that I have seen with my kids as well. I just wonder whether has anyone of you implemented game like approach to classroom or online classroom.

Ratings on Moodle Forums - thought from TEAP and student feedback - use to allow non-verbal engagement with forum. Numerical rating possible at least - maybe can have a like, agree, disagree, good point etc rating? Adding more opportunity for the lurkers?

Annora, this is what I needed :) Thank you for sharing this resource about Moodle functionality.

The original Connectivist MOOC. Would be interesting to explore the site properly - not sure how much is accessible... 

Another study looking at the relationship between social media use and academic achievement/engagement. Interesting that here some activities are more likely to have a positive impact. Are these the kind of interactions we could encourage by embracing learners' connectedness and engagement with social media? ► Students who spent more time on Facebook scored lower on an engagement scale. ► There was no relationship between time spent on Facebook and time spent studying. ► Students who spent more time on Facebook spent more time in campus activities. ► In general, Facebook activities were more strongly predictive of engagement. ► Some Facebook activities were negative predictors, while others were positive.

Digital literacies are those capabilities which fit an individual for living, learning and working in a digital society. Digital literacy looks beyond functional IT skills to describe a richer set of digital behaviours, practices and identities.

Neal, thank you for sharing. Not only that I find this useful for me but for my kids as well :)

More and more clips like this appear on YouTube. Is it worth investing time and effort in preparing such a clip in HE environment where students enrolled in the class already. Maybe a teaser for a lecture or complete Module that is an option. Why not!?
