Learning happens everywhere - 2 views

  • As we all know, learning is a fluid process that happens all the time, and there are many more metrics and much more data to capture regarding a learner’s experience which can inform and provide context to his or her learning environment.
  • TinCan adapts the same logic to generate statements as and when an activity or action is performed by the learner. It creates statements in the form of ‘noun, verb, object’ – like a language – and stores them in a Learning Record Store (LRS) that can exist independently of an LMS.

Five reads for September - The Learner's Way - 1 views

  •  
    For teachers in Australia, the long Term Three is drawing rapidly to a close. Indeed as I write this just ten days remain before a two-week break. This is the perfect time to consider a holiday reading list. Just enough time to raid the school library or place an order with your favourite book store. Here is what's currently occupying space on my nightstand.

6 Ways Students Can Collaborate With iPads - Edudemic - 0 views

  • Added by Greg Kulowiec on 2013-01-23 The following post is written by Greg Kulowiec of EdTechTeacher.  Join EdTechTeacher at the iPad Summit in Atlanta on April 10-12. The app store is loaded with options that allow students to create content on their iPads.  From comic strip creators to mind maps, video editing and publishing, screencasting & digital books, the options for individual student creation are expanding. However, collaboration between students is often a critical component of any classroom activity or project and increasingly there are options available that allow for collaborative efforts across iPads. Below are six ways to support collaboration between student iPads that cover the spectrum of creation options that range from text to digital storytelling to video creation. Explain Everything ($2.99)
  • A flexible and powerful screen casting option, students and teachers can collaborate on screencasts by exporting Explain Everything project files from an iPad.
  • Google Drive (Free)

    There are plenty of content creation apps, but this blog outlines apps that support collaboration between students. Diigo has long been a favourite of mine, but I think Subtext (free) could be a real winner for Academics looking for a collaborative reading tool.

Installing and Evaluating Wikis considered at University of Canterbury - BeSTGRID - 0 views

  • Given that a lot of TWiki information is stored in plain directories, and that it's apache driven, the best (and only) way to do farming would be to have a number of virtual servers configured in Apache, and have a separate TWiki directory deployed for each wiki in the farm.
  • Hmmm, it looks like I can't get LDAP authentication working with XWiki:
  • Conclusion: with the support available in XWiki (permissions can only be granted to LDAP groups) and our LDAP configuration (no groups), I cannot get Xwiki to work with LDAP.

  • It appears there is no direct support for farming in confluence.

Moodle: e-learning's Frankenstein - 2 views

  • Moodle’s pedagogic pretensions A lot of rot is spoken about Moodle supporting a ‘constructivist’ approach to learning
  • That was always a utopian dream. This Vygotsky-inspired babble is only really spouted by academics with too much time on their hands. It’s really just a standard collection of learning management tools with no real pedagogic innovation or intent. There’s nothing in Moodle that wasn’t, or isn’t, in other LMSs or VLEs if you will.
  • Educationalists love to talk about learner-centric, constructivist models of learning but usually default back into a didactic, lecture-driven, ‘I teach-you learn’, behaviour. Stray too far from the current model and any LMS will collapse into a soup of collaborative connectivity

  • Moodle I believe is just a tool. Pedagogy is not about a tool it is about the approach
  • Learning in any LMS with the pedagogical constraints of process driven learning is about1. Storing & Access of information2. Communicate3. Evaluate4. Collaborate
