For better edtech purchasing, ask these 4 crucial questions - 0 views

  • Howard said that for developers, it’s not about whether the product can address a learning goal, but whether it can address variable learning goals. One strength of edtech is the ability to help teachers provide differentiated lessons, and Howard said the best edtech can be used for students at various stages and across a variety of abilities.
  • “How might tech support educators’ ability to differentiate learning in the classroom?”
  • Furman said he looks for third-party reviews, especially from classroom teachers, before he brings any tools to his teachers for testing. Howard encouraged educators to ask for documented and validated positive learning outcomes with students. Noakes added that most educators want to see results from a third-party evaluation because they don’t trust research run and validated by the publisher.

  • Furman said once he’s examined a product, he brings in a small team of teachers — typically one from each grade level — to test it.
  • Once the test team approves, he then has a group of teacher ambassadors train their colleagues and advocate for the new tool

Applying Technology in Physical Education Class: Lots of Possibilities | Emerging Educa... - 0 views

  • Video Resources As a result of advancements in technology and faster internet becoming available today, it is now possible to stream videos on YouTube and Vimeo. Physical education teachers can take advantage of this and recommend workout videos to students, as well as other types of content which provide useful demonstrations for skill development. Whether they are dance or yoga videos, students may become so entranced with some YouTube channels that follow them, encouraging them to do even more than the teacher asks. No matter the level of the class, teachers will be able to find age-appropriate videos to share. Last, but most certainly not least, PE teachers can consider flipping their classes with the help of videos they make demonstrating technique, freeing up time for more application and review in class!

How to Increase Confidence About Digital Learning in Schools | EdTech Magazine - 0 views

  • Training courses, weekend intensives and pre-made video tutorials are all ways that schools can support their educators at a low cost. But most importantly, teachers need to feel supported from all areas, from administrators and colleagues to tech developers. If teachers feel as though they can make mistakes, then they will be more willing to try new things and use these failures to help refine digital learning.
  • New Tech Should Make a Teacher’s Life Easier When I think about teachers working together to share digital techniques and new apps, I think of the most powerful reasons we educators are pushing on into the digital frontier.

Understanding Mobility and its Impact on Learning - 0 views

  • Step 1--Capture Understanding the importance of capturing learning moments, instructional supports, and interactive exchanges is the first step in moving more traditionally minded teachers towards mobility. That is, realizing that digital capture is something that can truly help teachers store helpful moments for additional use outside the classroom. Whereas in face to face classrooms, these kinds of exchanges happen but are not reusable, when captured, they can be used repeatedly with the immediate students and future students.

12 Emerging Educational Uses of Technology That are the Most Exciting Right Now - Emerg... - 1 views

  • The Flipped Classroom continues to emerge as one of the most exciting grassroots movements in the academic world. Teachers all across the world are trying it and loving it. Make no mistake, the flipped classroom is no “trend” – it is a clear reflection of how technology truly can be a powerful tool for educators who are inspired to do the very best by their students
  • Social Learning in Online Courses I truly believe that better incorporation of social learning is vital to making online learning more engaging. Many online programs struggle to attain retention rates similar to most in-seat programs. One of the elements generally lacking in online learning (but natural to the face-to-face classroom) is a healthy level of social interaction. When online teachers make the effort to build social interaction into the digital classroom, they create multiple opportunities to enhance engagement and improve learning outcomes.
  • Tools to Embed Questions in Videos Admittedly, this is not the kind of game changing ed tech idea that others on this list are, but I still think it is worth noting. Over the last year, EdPuzzle, EduCanon, and Zaption are a few of the tools that I have seen mentioned over and over in the ed tech social media over the last year. This capability has just ‘blown up’ over the last year or so, getting a lot of attention, and for good reason

Wowza Predictions for Online Video in 2015: the flipped classroom becomes real - 0 views

  •  
    Online video has been growing as a primary tool for distance learning, and now it's picking up more speed within education for a second reason. Flipped classroom experiences allow teachers to assign lecture videos to be watched outside the classroom, allowing them to spend more quality group and individual time with students in the classroom and resulting in positive learning results. There's a long-term multiplier effect here, too - as these students enter the workforce, they'll be taking expectations for these new modes of video learning and consumption with them to their employers.

Lecture capture takes a leap forward in higher education - 0 views

  • Higher education institutions are increasingly using lecture capture to help their students, according to a 2018 State of Video in Education report from Kaltura. There was a 21% increase in lecture capture use by institutions over the last two years, up from 65% in 2016 to 79% this year. Lecture capture doesn’t just take place in standard lecture halls too, with 10% of all those responding saying they already capture over half of all classes, wherever they take place, and 31% keen to follow their lead. Overall, 88% of respondents across higher education and K-12 (primary/secondary schools) already use lecture capture tools or intend to in the future.
  • The use of video by students for assignments is on the rise, at 69% this year, up from 59% in 2017. Video feedback on student assignments is also growing and is now used by more than a third of institutions (35%) – up from 27% last year – perhaps due to the growth in remote learning.
  • Closed captions are in use at over half (52%) of institutions today, while 34% use interactive video quizzes to help students learn more effectively. Mobile apps that make it easy for students to watch videos on the move, or offline, are used by 39% of institutions, and a further 53% are eager to add this capability.

  • 21% report that over half of their students are involved in creating (as opposed to simply watching) video; among higher education respondents, the figure is a little lower at 15%.
  • Digital literacy remains high on the agenda as a critical skill for today’s students in an era of fake news and 95% view video as an important part of digital literacy; 97% feel it is important to continue to raise the level of digital and video literacy among both teachers and students. The good news is that 83% of students are already considered to be highly digitally literate, with teachers snapping at their heels with 78%.
  • 97% think that interactive videos, which encourage engagement and help students to learn, will be important; similarly, 97% anticipate that self-paced curricula and personalised learning paths will be of considerable value to many students; and 94% see predictive analytics as a game changer in education
  • The study also found that video has a positive impact on student achievements (84%), on increasing educator collaboration and professional development (83%), and on streamlining the onboarding process for new students (80%).

Students, teachers split on value of video-recording lectures - 0 views

  • The study focused on the Echo360 system Swinburne introduced in 2014. Under the scheme, lectures are automatically recorded unless academics opt out — something few have done, Dr Pechenkina said.Overall, 71 per cent of students said lecture recordings helped them, and 70 per cent wanted more of it. Just 28 per cent of academics wanted more of their classes recorded, with most saying they would prefer lectures were not taped at all.
  • While lecture-recording provides greater flexibility for students, “it has the potential to do the opposite for lecturers — particularly those whose teaching approach or subject material does not lend itself readily to current models of recording”.The paper says technological developments could spawn new ways of recording, enabling lecturers to tailor their approach to the cameras. But this, of course, could “further decrease student attendance at lectures”.Dr Pechenkina said lecture recording was unlikely to disappear anytime soon. “We need to train academics better in how to use the technology to enhance their teaching.” She said new advances would make recording less restrictive, with cameras able to “move around and capture widely what goes on in the classroom. The capacity is there, or it can be there within a very short period.”
  • Dr Pechenkina said academics were also using the technology to prerecord and disseminate lectures ahead of time, allowing class time to be focused on group discussion

Popularity of Online and Community Learning Predicted to Boost the demand for Flipped C... - 0 views

  • “The flip model of learning offers a considerable cost saving opportunity to learners as well as educational institutions. Many institutions are using LMS to facilitate the delivery of content to the users. Although end-users have to make substantial upfront investment in the required infrastructure such as adequate Internet bandwidth, the long-term benefits of flipped learning considerably outweigh that of traditional classroom teaching and training,”
  • Global flipped classroom market by product Software 54.89% Hardware 33.54% Services 11.56%
  • The global flipped classroom market by hardware was valued at USD 165.9 million in 2015. The hardware segment comprises devices such as document cameras and tablets that are required to create, capture, and access learning content. These devices are finding more acceptance in schools and colleges. Lecture capture is used to facilitate learning for both students and teachers and helps in recording and delivering lectures in multiple formats including text and video. Vendors are equipping hardware with advanced features for lecture capture such as high-resolution video and display to improve quality. The devices used to facilitate lecture recording include microphones, cameras, screen capture devices, desktop recorders, DVD players, electronic whiteboards, and videoconferencing devices.

IRT releases student feedback on academic technology - The State Hornet - 1 views

  • One major result of the survey was that students would like their professors to make more use of technology. 80 percent “wished instructors used SacCT more” and 78.1 percent said that they would like more Lecture Capture in their courses.
  • “If I had to leave early for one of my classes, I’d have to ask a friend in the class or send an email to the teacher, ‘Can you let me know what the homework is?’ kind of thing,” Rodriguez said. “It would be helpful if I could just look online and not bug anyone.”

4 Ways Mobile Tech Is Improving Education - 0 views

  • In many ACU classes, one component of mobile implementation is lecture podcasts, which allow students to consume much of the information typically delivered in the classroom on their own time and in their own dorm rooms.The idea is to free up teachers during class time for interacting with students and working through problems, a concept known as “flipping the classroom.”

New Global Survey Offers Snapshot of Technology in the Classroom in 2019 | EdTech Magazine - 0 views

  • Technology’s impact on education continues for students outside of the classroom as well. The survey found that 64 percent of students use a smartphone to do their homework, and 65 percent do their homework on a notebook computer (that number rises to 85 percent in the U.S.). 
  • The report ultimately finds both teachers and students rely on technology to add value to and enhance education. The expectation is that, in the future, students will develop greater autonomy in the learning process, selecting the technology that works best for them. Smartphones, laptops and desktops will clearly be part of that mix — alongside pen and paper.

Donald Clark Plan B: What is 'adaptive' learning? - 0 views

  • The problem is that the word has been applied to many things from simple pre-test assessment to full-blown algorithmic and machine learning adaption, and lots in-between. 
  • In essence it means adapting the online experience to the individual’s needs as they learn, in the way a personal tutor would adapt. The aim is to provide, what many teachers provide, a learning experience that is tailored to the needs of you as an individual learner. 
  • Online learning has to date mostly delivered fairly linear and non-adaptive experiences, whether it’s through self-paced structured learning, scenario-based learning, simulations or informal learning. But we are now in the position of having technology, especially AI, that can deliver what Bloom called ‘one-to-one learning’.

3 Key Takeaways from the State of Video in Education Report - EdTech - 0 views

  • Watching Netflix isn’t the only way higher ed students consume video. It’s also become a regular part of their educations. Kaltura’s The State of Video in Education 2017 report reveals that 99 percent of institutions have teachers who are regularly incorporating video into their curricula. “Today’s students expect to learn with the help of video, while prospective employers expect them to leave education with the skills necessary to participate in a digital culture,” reads the report. From lecture capture to in-class assignments, universities are increasingly looking for new ways to make use of video. Here are three key takeaways from the Kaltura report: SIGN UP: Get more news from the EdTech newsletter in your inbox every two weeks!

Lecture capture: watch and learn - Installation - 1 views

  • Today’s students are intimately connected to the latest technology and gadgets and use them constantly. Their familiarity, combined with an innate and intuitive ability to control it, means that not only do they use video and audio communication for their own social communication but expect it to be present in all aspects of their lives. This expectation extends to the provision of learning services, particularly at higher levels; with the current high cost of educational services, prospective students demand sophisticated and effective use of technology at universities to elevate their education experience. They choose their university on a number of factors, with technology and modern teaching methodologies rating highly in that decision. Universities that fail to meet their expectations are ignored as students vote with their feet and select another establishment.
  • The process of recording classes and other live sessions, generally referred to as lecture capture, features highly on the lists of students’ criteria during that assessment. While still a relatively young technology compared with others in the AV world, it has rapidly gained acceptance in the academic sector, proving its ability to aid the educational process and rapidly penetrating the industry
  • Early reticence to deploy and use lecture capture systems has largely abated. Fears that students would skip lectures if there were to be a recording available online later, and lecturers’ concerns over job security once their classes had been recorded, were generally unfounded. Instead the system has stimulated new methods of teaching, including that of ‘flipping’,

  • This allows them to concentrate on the delivered speech rather than on note-taking, and has greatly improved understanding. Lecture capture systems are often used in preparing the recordings to be used in lecture flipping
  • “The market is becoming mature, not necessarily in terms of current installations but certainly with the numbers of universities that have a plan in place to roll out capture to all rooms. Many universities have a policy of recording all lessons and lectures and it is being implemented widely. Some universities automatically schedule recordings along with the lecture timetable
  • The use of video capture solutions to record classes as well as enable lecturers to create their own supplemental videos requires robust technology.
  • The lecture capture system should be automated, allowing faculty or campus IT staff the ability to easily schedule recordings. A lecturer may also want to record a video prior to class in an empty classroom or right from the comfort of his or her home or office.
  • “The success of lecture capture is influenced by the user experience of the student and also by the user experience of the teacher,” points out Robert de Jong, director of product marketing EMEA at Vaddio.
  • Handling many simultaneous camera feeds on a network can also present problems. “Some universities are starting to install IP cameras as they are fast coming down in price,” says Mark Rogers, product manager, Datapath
  • Lecture capture is almost becoming a victim of its own success,” continues Lipps. “Students nowadays are demanding it in all their classes and will often stop a lecturer to point out if the system is not recording. The result is that it is becoming an essential piece of equipment in all active lecture rooms. A large university may have 500 rooms but it is not economically viable to put top-of-the-range equipment in all of them. However with the right video platform, there will be hardware and software capture options that make sure lecture capture can be included in as many classrooms as possible.”

Lecture capture: software and hardware collaboration - Installation - 1 views

  • Panopto’s third generation capture tools record from virtually any video or audio device that can be plugged into a laptop and can capture and play multiple simultaneous video feeds, slides, images and screen recordings.
  • However, the choice of lecture capture software is affected by the selection of hardware, and this can be a problem. As Dean Offord, European sales engineer for Panasonic Business, points out: “At the moment compatibility between software and hardware is not as universal as vendors of either would like. Simple integration is incredibly important within AV. That is why Panasonic ProAV has recently developed the new Virtual USB driver to configure the Panasonic PTZ line-up with popular lecture capture systems over IP with a single Cat5e or Cat6 for high-definition capture
  • Collaborations between lecture capture hardware and software companies are a great way to offer a full systems package to educational institutions, giving peace of mind of a reliable and high quality system.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • The benefit to users lies in simplicity of operation. Phil Waterhouse, business development manager for education at Crestron UK, says: “Some of the partnerships are working very well; it means installing and programming is not as difficult. Crestron and Panopto, for example, have a partnership that means a simple-to-use interface is readily available
  • “Collaboration enables solutions in which the sum greatly exceeds the parts. Universities and colleges of higher education are obliged to provide text transcripts of videos for hearing-impaired students. Automated search features are also essential, allowing students to quickly access specific parts of a lecture. Students will only use a small section of a lecture during revision so it is essential that they can reach the relevant part quickly, without having to scan the whole video. Traditionally, preparation of captions involves people listening to the soundtrack and typing. Advanced speech-to-text software automates this process, reducing the cost of production massively – from around $1 per minute to less than two cents.”
  • There is huge potential for the technology to be able to offer collaborative learning in a way that currently can’t be done due to video transmission latency and limited bandwidth. At the moment universities have successfully deployed lecture capture, storage and playback systems but in the future they are likely to move more towards distributed classrooms, huddle spaces, cross-campus collaboration and more interactivity between remote groups of students and teachers.

CoSN names top resources for personalized learning - 0 views

  • Data analytics and adaptive technologies, while still emerging in K–12 education, could help educators overcome barriers and accelerate innovation, the report says.
  • Schools have been collecting student data for many years. However, the human process of sifting through mounds of data is tedious and inefficient. Data analytics has shifted this workload from educators to algorithms, freeing up time for teachers to support student needs and giving them more meaningful insights into what those need may be.
  • Similarly, adaptive technologies are able to monitor and adjust to student learning in the moment, catching and helping students when they exhibit a wobbly conceptual understanding of competencies and advancing them to more challenging content as soon as they have met learning objectives.
