"The public and college presidents differ over the educational value of online courses. Only 29% of the public says online courses offer an equal value compared with courses taken in a classroom. Half (51%) of the college presidents surveyed say online courses provide the same value."

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.

Useful look at identity for research students

"All students today are increasingly expected to develop technological fluency, digital citizenship, and other twenty-first century competencies despite wide variability in the quality of learning opportunities schools provide. Social network sites (SNSs) available via the internet may provide promising contexts for learning to supplement school-based experiences. This qualitative study examines how high school students from low-income families in the USA use the SNS, MySpace, for identity formation and informal learning. The analysis revealed that SNSs used outside of school allowed students to formulate and explore various dimensions of their identity and demonstrate twenty-first century skills; however, students did not perceive a connection between their online activities and learning in classrooms. We discuss how learning with such technologies might be incorporated into the students overall learning ecology to reduce educational inequities and how current institutionalized approaches might shift to accommodate such change."

Building on very small-scale work using MP3 files for summative feedback on one programme, the Sounds Good team will widen the focus to both formative and summative feedback in various disciplines at different educational levels. The experimentation will include delivering digital sound files containing feedback to students via a virtual learning environment, email and mobile devices such as widely-available MP3 players.

Links for listening and uploading to DS106 Radio - and the minimal protocol for loading.  Fantastic example of just getting out there and doing it.

And now, new ds106 TV http://www.justin.tv/ds106tv/b/282994702? I suspect here's an awful lot of copyrighted music played over the ds106 radio waves/pipes, but I wouldn't know since internet radio protocols seem to be blocked :-(

Tony Karrer has put together a collection of resource links related to agile development generally and agile elearning. Wonder if some of this can tie into the digital literacy strand?

A great collection of articles, many of which deserve their own bookmark! There's stuff on Tumblr, blogging, Google Docs and mobile, all with a focus on the practicalities of using them in education.
