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)

  • BookCreator ($4.99

    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.

A critical examination of Blackboard's e-learning environment - Coopman - 3 views

  • teaching/learning as performance and teaching/learning as text
  • perceived institutional presence — the degree to which online learners felt connected to the university — was positively related to learning outcomes, satisfaction with the course, and intent to stay in the program.
  • students in the traditional classes interacted with each other far less than those in the hybrid (Web–enhanced) classes
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • quality of interaction in online discussions, rather than quantity, may be the better predictor of student achievement
  • Interrogating the structure of learning management systems such as Blackboard brings to light the unnoticed ways in which the software frames online classroom interaction
  • Rose (2004) argued in her critique of learning management systems that the mediated tools instructors use to teach their classes are not value–free. The author lamented that “there is no acknowledgment of the fundamental transformations that must be wreaked upon content imported into platforms such as WebCT and Blackboard, nor of the fact that the very structure of these systems constrains instructional possibilities and decision–making.” [4] Like a highly bureaucratic organization, once a structure is built into a learning management system, changing the structure becomes unimaginable (Sandvig, 2006).
  • Online class discussions typically involve more student–student interaction and less instructor–student interaction. Lobel, et al. (2005) found that instructors were the center of the interaction network during in person discussions whereas the group was the center during online discussions. Blackboard’s discussion feature allows students to interact directly with each other, bypassing the instructor. However, the degree of structural flexibility in a Blackboard discussion board resides to a large extent in the decisions the instructor makes. May students attach files? May students start new discussion threads? May students post anonymously? Do they rate each other’s messages? What is the rating system?
  • What has changed is the instructor’s increased ability to track students’ use of the class Web site: number of messages posted, number of messages read, and how many times various pages or sections are accessed. Mullen (2002) argued that this type of information seems to provide an objective measure of student engagement, but in fact creates a dangerously decontextualized, essentialized image of a class in which levels of “participation” stand in for evidence of learning having taken place. Students are treated not as learners, as partners in an educational enterprise, but as users
  • “The brave new world of digital education promises greater access, increased democratic participation, and the transcendence of discrimination through pure minds. We must interrogate the actuality of these hypes: who has access, is participation online transformative, and is transcendence of difference a goal of progressive pedagogies?” [8]

Omeka - 0 views

  • Whether you’re a scholar, an enthusiast, an archivist or librarian, you’ll find Omeka easy to use and customize to your needs. To use a phrase from early on in the project, Omeka is a great tool to “show your stuff” on the web. Digital photos, scans of documents, texts, video.. anything. It will help organize those objects, and present them elegantly on the web.
  • WordPress don’t use structured metadata the way that scholars, libraries, and archives do. We have controlled vocabularies, 50 ways of classifying the same thing, and need a system that allows us to easy do that.
