Proposal for transmitting data using tuples via Twitter and then exposing via other apps, widgets, etc. Interesting.

"A second change proposal outlining a detailed organisational structure will be provided to staff for feedback at the end of March."<--this is what TEC staff were briefed on last week I believe.

"Presented here are several original CATs [classroom assessment technique] proposed by Angelo and Cross with their technology-enhanced suggestions for use in online classrooms"

Comments on Google+ but what's more interesting is the initial 3 questions and the rationale behind them. Qns we should consider when proposing edtech and they also explain some of the #diglit stuff we're talking about.

"To gain the full educational benefits of the major new investments in corporate technologies supporting online teaching and learning it is argued that a strategic, systems based approach to academic professional development (APD) is required. Such an approach requires a clear view of the key areas of potential and enduring teaching and learning benefit which can be realised from online developments, including an understanding of the changing role of the academic teacher in higher education, the identification of the desired professional capacities to educate online, and the implementation of a number of coordinated initiatives to develop these professional capacities in order to engage constructively with the learning and technology opportunities. Based on previous work, we propose a 6three model of Academic Professional Capacities Development for effective APD of online teaching and learning. The model can help inform the actions of policy makers, executives and practitioners in ways that promote an authentic learning organisation."
