MediumSounds Mashes Up Medium And SoundCloud To Feature Audio On Your Post | TechCrunch - 0 views

  •  
    "Medium does a lot of things well. Its easy-to-use interface for composing blog posts creates a clean, distraction-free environment for the reader. But one thing it doesn't do well is audio. Music, radio shows, and podcasts aren't a featured part of the product. London-based developer Roman Mittermayr put together MediumSounds so he could mash together what he liked about the Medium design with the musical content he posts to SoundCloud. His creation adds a missing element to what Medium offers - a way for sound to be a main feature, not just an embedded part of the post."

Tracing Successful Online Teaching in Higher Education - 3 views

  •  
    "The findings of this study indicated that when teachers described their successful practices, they often linked them to their changing roles and new representation of their "selves" within an online environment. Their portrayal of the teacher self, both built on a plethora of previous experiences and reformed with the affordances and limitations of the online environment, went through a process whereby teachers were constantly challenged to make themselves heard, known, and felt by their students. This study showed that it was critical to listen to teachers' voices and give them a participatory role in the creation and use of their knowledge and experience in order to form their online teacher personas. As a result, programs that prepare faculty to teach online may need to encourage teachers to reflect on their past experiences, assumptions, and beliefs toward learning and teaching and transform their perspectives by engaging in pedagogical inquiry and problem solving."

  • continuing development of new knowledge, making it difficult to compress all that learners need to know within the limited time span of a post-secondary course or program.
  • ncreased emphasis on skills or applying knowledge to meet the demands of 21st century society, skills such as critical thinking, independent learning, knowing how to use relevant information technology, software, and data within a field of discipline, and entrepreneurialism.

  • Today’s students have grown up in a world where technology is a natural part of their environment. Their expectation is that technology will be used where appropriate to help them learn, develop essential information and technology literacy skills, and master the technology fluency necessary in their specific subject domain.
  • Recent developments in digital technologies, especially web 2.0 tools such as blogs, wikis and social media, and mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets, have given the end user, the learner, much more control over access to and the creation and sharing of knowledge.

    Via Stephen Downes's recent post; a nice accessible summary discussion for non-techies about how technology is changing teaching. Good teaching resource, I think.

Take A Look Inside The Infographic Mega-Tome, "Knowledge Is Beautiful" | The Creators P... - 0 views

  • “I start with the idea, and usually a question. Something that typically stupefies me, bewilders me, or frustrates me,” McCandless tells The Creators Project in an interview. “And then the question becomes a concept, and the concept becomes a graphic.”
  • A great and effective data visualization begins with an accurate and well-structured data set, a compelling story and an intention or a goal for getting the information across, explains McCandless. The visual structure comes into play only at the end of the research stage, following the pages and pages of spreadsheets a reader never gets to see. “This work is about 80% research and 20% design,” he explains.
  • He felt he could relate.

  • “A lot of people just visualize complex data,” says McCandless. “They’ll take the data without wrapping it in a story, filtering it in any way, humanizing it, or focusing on what’s interesting. Without doing that, you just translate the complexity into visual form.” A complex visualization is counterintuitive, he adds, because its purpose is to clarify and distill data. The strength of an idea is what carries it through each precise stage of the creation process, from data gathering through structuring and designing.
  • With visual language, McCandless can cut through the noise in information overload, uncover the insights locked within data, and decode the self-referential language that pervades knowledge.

The Next Big Thing You Missed: New Apps Instantly Convert Spreadsheets Into Something A... - 1 views

  • The idea is that, when someone emails a spreadsheet to your iPad, the app will open it up—but not as a series of rows and columns. It will open the thing as chart or graph, and with a swipe of the finger, you can reformat the data into a new chart or graph. The hope is that this will make is easier for anyone to read a digital spreadsheet—an age-old computer creation that’s still looks like Greek to so many people.

How did they make that? | Miriam Posner's Blog - 4 views

  •  
    Maybe this is a framework/concept for doing some of the ALT Lab documentation. It mixes tutorial/tool guide/example in a way that works pretty well.

    I like this concept we can show examples of various interesting things faculty are doing and explain the creation process. That way faculty work is always at the forefront of what we do
