CompendiumLD learning design software - 0 views

  •  
    CompendiumLD is a software tool for designing learning activities using a flexible visual interface. It is being developed as a tool to support lecturers, teachers and others involved in education to help them articulate their ideas and map out the design or learning sequence. Feedback from users suggests the process of visualising design makes their design ideas more explicit and highlights issues that they may not have noticed otherwise. It also provides a useful means of representing their designs so that they can be shared with others.

EdTech Startup Papermache Aims To Inspire Better Online Research - 1 views

  • academia has been reluctant to accept internet sources as legitimate in intellectual discussion. As a result, students have been forced to use antiquated and difficult methods of finding relevant information online.
  • Los Angeles startup Papermache (site will soon be here) will combine a social network with a digital portfolio, allowing university students to legally share their graded research papers with a peer community. Users will read, up/downvote, discuss, and cite the findings and perspectives of their peers in a safe and collaborative environment. It could become the go-to destination for finding and using amazing, relevant information by harboring an active community of research and researchers.
  • n addition to producing and consuming awesome content, students will be able to reach out to like-minded peers for future collaboration. This will make better informed students and better written papers, raising the collective awareness of its users.

  • A first for undergraduate academic publishing, Papermache will utilize Creative Commons licensing (denoted by the “.cc” in Papermache.cc) to its users who upload content. Adding intellectual property rights to work establishes ownership and gives legal protection to combat cheating. “On Papermache,” said Benjamin, “we want to make it easier to not cheat than to cheat, since convenience is a main cause of plagarism. Therefore, we created built in citation capabilities that – in a highlight and two clicks – gives credit to original authors and keeps content consumers legal.”

    This site will allow university students to legally share their graded research papers using a "cc" licence. Apparently they want to make it easier to not cheat than to cheat (by providing built in citation capabilities) - I guess that remains to be seen.
