Beyond marks: new tools to visualise student engagement via social networks | Badge | R... - 0 views

  •  
    "Evidence shows that engaged students perform better academically than disinterested students. Measurement of engagement with education is difficult and imprecise, especially in large student cohorts. Traditional measurements such as summary statistics derived from assessment are crude secondary measures of engagement at best and do not provide much support for educators to work with students and curate engagement during teaching periods. We have used academic-related student contributions to a public social network as a proxy for engagement. Statistical summaries and novel data visualisation tools provide subtle and powerful insights into online student peer networks. Analysis of data collected shows that network visualisation can be an important curation tool for educators interested in cultivating student engagement."

Privacy and cloud based apps - a background paper from BCcampus by ClintLalon... - 1 views

  •  
    "The report is based on questionnaires and interviews conducted by BCcampus with a cross section of institutional stakeholders (instructors, teaching and learning centres and IT administrators) at 9 BC post-secondary institutions (25 were contacted) in the Fall of 2010. The paper highlights some of the concerns and benefits post-sec institutions in BC are grappling with when considering using cloud-based applications and services (specifically those hosted in the US), and illustrates some examples of how BC post-sec's have addressed these issues within their institutions."

DigiStore - - Te Pātaka Matihiko - 1 views

  •  
    A Ministry of Education resource described as "Digistore is a storehouse of digital content to support learning across the curriculum, from early childhood through to senior secondary." Unfortunately it seems that you have to create an account to log-in and then resources are only available to NZ educators. Doesn't seem to sit well with the Open Govt, Open Content being espoused elsewhere in the NZ govt.

Wikipedia Tops List of Plagiarized Sources -- Campus Technology - 2 views

  • Where are students finding the materials they plagiarize in their papers? According to a new study, WIkipedia tops the list for both secondary and college students. But as a category, encyclopedia sites are among the least popular sources, coming in behind four other types of information outlets, including both academic sites and paper mills.
