Draft of ELI Posters about Unconference Planning - 0 views
-
Over the past couple of years, I've had the opportunity to plan some events that are focused on teaching and learning with technology (lower case since it is about the topic, not the TLT organization). These include the 2007 and 2008 TLT Symposiums and the Learning Design Summer Camp as well as some smaller events.
Imagining College Without Grades - 0 views
-
The closest they came to a fan was an associate provost who admitted that he saw grade inflation as completely out of control and said that for more students at his and similar institutions, the grade-point average range is around 3.4 to 3.8. It seemed that everyone else in the room had been motivated to attend by their sense that the system isn't working: Other academic administrators who said grades had become meaningless.
Social Networks: Facebook Takes Over Top Spot, Twitter Climbs - 0 views
-
With Facebook officially turning five years old recently, combined with the site surging past MySpace in Monthly Unique Visitors, it seems like a good time to take a little deeper look at the social networking giants.
Wiki Content Is Not Sacred, and That's OK - 0 views
-
Wiki use calls for a simple trade-off of control for content, perfection for timeliness. The more the members of an organization can contribute freely, the more contribution will happen. In return, employees will feel safe contributing, and the wiki will be more likely to serve its purpose.
Accidental Openness - 0 views
-
I am seeing a day rapidly approaching where many of the major Institutions provide platforms that empower open content and scholarly activity … a place where the next LMS/CMS is simply a browser, a social bookmarking toolset, and perhaps a social recommendation space (like Times People). Imagine how amazing it will be when the best content is published in the open where debate, conversations, and discourse happens at the micro and macro level.
The Blogs at Penn State Back Story - 0 views
-
We launched our "blogging" service about 18 months ago after some real heated discussions about affordances of a system like this. Our argument to our primary IT group revolved around creating an environment that was an open publishing platform - not just a blog service. When we stopped talking about blogs they began to understand the power.
Gardner Campbell Writes » A universe of universes - 0 views
-
As I've carried on my work this month, I've returned again and again to the role of computers in learning. I keep trying to understand not only the subject itself, but the sources of my own fascination. The presentation at Delaware was perhaps my fullest effort to date to get at the vexed question of what a computer is, or rather, what it symbolizes.
From the Desk of David Pogue - The Twitter Experiment - 0 views

So I flipped out of PowerPoint and typed this to my Twitter followers: "I need a cure for hiccups... RIGHT NOW! Help?" I hit Enter. I told the audience that we would start getting replies in 15 seconds, but it didn't even take that long. Here are some of the replies that began scrolling up the screen:
More Adults Than Ever on Social Networks - 0 views
-
You may think that many adults have joined the online trend mainly to network professionally with others in their field. However, that turns out not to be true. Instead adults, like teens, are there to socialize with their friends and people they already know. Nearly nine in ten social network users (89%) say they use the networks to stay in touch with friends, and 57% say they use it to make plans with friends. Under half (49%) use the sites to make new friends.
The Teaching Science Professor - 0 views
-
James A. Rudd, II, one of the survey's authors and a chemistry professor at Cal State Los Angeles, said that most science education research and development is traditionally conducted by faculty from education schools. Though these individuals understand the pedagogy of instruction, he said they sometimes do not understand the content of the sciences well enough to make their work beneficial. He said it is imperative for science faculty to bridge the gap between the study of education and that of science.
Teachers Who Share - 0 views

My work usually has me working with passionate, caring teachers who truly want what's best for kids. They dislike bureaucracy and red tape (doesn't everybody?) and will try anything if they think it will help students learn.
Anything Instructional: The 3 Ws of Sakai 3 - 0 views
-
This blog post is somewhat a summary of my understanding of what Sakai 3 is all about, from a user point of view. I hope it can become a starting point for current community members who might still see Sakai 3 as a blurry long term vision, and maybe even draw more people's attention to Sakai as a valid alternative to commercial learning management systems like Blackboard.
At M.I.T., Large Lectures Are Going the Way of the Blackboard - 0 views
-
The physics department has replaced the traditional large introductory lecture with smaller classes that emphasize hands-on, interactive, collaborative learning. Last fall, after years of experimentation and debate and resistance from students, who initially petitioned against it, the department made the change permanent. Already, attendance is up and the failure rate has dropped by more than 50 percent.

It then follows that as faculty we would seek to create such communities for our students, to foster their own rigor and creativity of thought and communication--to develop their own expertise.
Work/Build Your Own Personal Learning Network - 0 views

The only way for all of us to deal with the current challenge to our particular approach to learning - aside from ignoring it completely, which is about as effective as ignoring an oncoming truck - is to seize the wheel and create our own learning network.

The STOLEN Principle for using wikis educationally - 0 views
-
The STOLEN principle, breaks down some of the features of using wikis educationally in order to increase the chances of the wiki being successful, and meeting the desired learning outcomes set by the tutor. It is by no means essential to meet all of these criteria, but meeting more rather than less, may increase the chances of the wiki working. These rules will probably need to be modified as the technology improves and wiki become more culturally mainstream, but as a starter these rules give a tutor some guidance.
