Wikis as a Tool for Collaborative Course Management - 0 views

  • In today’s Web 2.0 world, wikis have emerged as a tool that may complement or replace the use of traditional course management systems as a tool for disseminating course information.  Because of a wiki’s collaborative nature, its use also allows students to participate in the process of course management, information sharing, and content creation.
  • Traditional course management systems such as Blackboard, Moodle, or WebCT
  • are often document-centered

  • This paper describes best practices for using a collaborative web application known as a wiki to augment a traditional course management system.
  • y introducing a wiki for collaborative course management, students also learn to interact with a real world tool, enabling them to accomplish some tasks that would be more cumbersome if not impossible using a traditional course management system.
  • Wikis are useful for students to share their class notes (O’Neill, 2005; Guth, 2007). O’Neill proposes that “the instructor places skeletal lecture notes onto a wiki site, and students flesh them out with materials they have learned in class...” 
  • Maloney (2007) suggests that today’s course management systems are not being used to their fullest potential. Because they are “built around the … course, not the … student,”
  • “The role that the systems play most often is like that of an advanced photocopier
  • a next-generation CMS must be centered around the student’s learning, not the course’s administration
  • In one project, each group set up its own wiki page to chronicle work and share materials with other group members. A template provides the structure for students to enter their names and tasks completed.
  • To promote collaboration, two or three students are assigned specific dates throughout the semester to post their notes from class to the wiki. To ensure that they were posted in a timely fashion, students had to complete their wiki notes prior to the start of the following class. Classmates then reviewed these “Wikipedia-style” notes pages, and added information that they learned but the original authors may have omitted.
  • The instructor provided a template containing the class date, space for the contributors to enter their names, and a blank page below for the notes.

Harvard Education Letter September/October 2008: Teaching 21st Century Skills - 0 views

  • As 2014 approaches—the deadline for all students to be proficient on state tests—academics, educators, business groups, and policymakers are finding common ground in a movement to bring “21st century skills” to the classroom, prompting state agencies and district leaders across the country to rewrite curriculum standards and even to contemplate big changes to existing state testing systems.
  • Some of these skills have always been important but are now taking on another meaning—like collaboration

    September/October 2008 Teaching 21st Century Skills What does it look like in practice? by Nancy Walser Call it a quiet revolution. As 2014 approaches-the deadline for all students to be proficient on state tests-academics, educators, business groups, and policymakers are finding common ground in a movement to bring "21st century skills" to the classroom, prompting state agencies and district leaders across the country to rewrite curriculum standards and even to contemplate big changes to existing state testing systems. What are 21st century skills, who's pushing them, and what does 21st century teaching look like in practice? Although definitions vary, most lists of 21st century skills include those needed to make the best use of rapidly changing technologies; the so-called "soft skills" that computers can't provide, like creativity; and those considered vital to working and living in an increasingly complex, rapidly changing global society (see "Skills for a New Century," p. 2). "Some of these skills have always been important but are now taking on another meaning-like collaboration. Now you have to be able to collaborate across the globe with someone you might never meet," explains Christopher Dede, a Harvard professor who sits on the Massachusetts 21st Century Skills Task Force. "Some are unique to the 21st century. It's only relatively recently, for example, that you could get two million hits on an [Internet] search and have to filter down to five that you want."

In-class laptop use sparks backlash, possibly lower grades - Ars Technica - 0 views

  • Recent studies of the educational value of in-class computer use, however, are suggesting that it's difficult for these programs to improve classroom performance, and there are some signs that a backlash may be brewing.
  • The 1:1 laptop programs do seem to help with the students' ability to use the technology they're exposed to, and a variety of studies show what might be an unexpected benefit: improved writing skills.
  • Distractions on campus
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • Outside of these areas, however, the benefits of 1:1 laptop availability are mixed. Different studies have found changes in math and science test performance that were inconsistent. In general, the authors argue, the benefits of laptops come in cases where the larger educational program has been redesigned to incorporate their unique capabilities,
  • unless the use of laptops is focused on providing a relevant portion of the lesson plan, they'll (obviously) wind up being irrelevant at best, and a distraction at worst
  • Of course, given their popularity with college students, laptops are showing up in classrooms where they have nothing to do with lesson plans at all.
  • That's the theory. The reality is that everything from IM chats to online shopping excursions take place over the in-class ether, distracting everyone involved:
  • What's to be done?
  • Our own Jacqui Cheng suggests a variation on this: make all laptop users sit in the back, so that they only distract each other, and let them figure out whether their grades are suffering on their own.

Colleges Consider Using Blogs Instead of Blackboard - Chronicle.com - 0 views

  • Instead of using a course-management system to distribute materials and run class discussions, why not use free blogging software
  • And true believers like Mr. Groom argue that by using blogs, professors can open their students' work to the public, not just to those in the class who have a login and password to a campus course-management system.
  • Open-source blog software, supporters say, also gives professors more ability to customize their online classrooms than most commercial course-management software does.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • "It looks like a real Web site," she said, noting that the course blog has a look and feel similar to those of other blogs. "For students to have a sense that they're doing something 'for real' is very powerful."
  • "I think the model for the CMS is outdated given the new Web, and I think that's one of the problems," he said. "It can serve certain functions well, but it's hard for proprietary CMS's, whatever they are, to keep up with the how the Web is changing."
