Digital Na(t)ives? Variation in Internet Skills and Uses among Members of the... - 6 views

  •  
    Hargittai, E. (2010). Digital Na(t)ives? Variation in Internet Skills and Uses among Members of the "Net Generation". Sociological Inquiry. 80(1):92-113. "People who have grown up with digital media are often assumed to be universally savvy with information and communication technologies. Such assumptions are rarely grounded in empirical evidence, however. This article draws on unique data with information about a diverse group of young adults' Internet uses and skills to suggest that even when controlling for Internet access and experiences, people differ in their online abilities and activities."

CIES - CETL(NI): Institutional E-Learning Services - 1 views

  •  
    The CETL(NI) has developed a Hybrid Learning Model which can be used to describe learning activities as a series of understandable and universal set of learning events where the teachers and students experience and roles are clearly defined at each stage. The strength of this method is its transparency, use of plain English and its potential in breaking down effective complex learning activities into a generic, re-usable format so that good practice can be disseminated, reapplied and evaluated easily.

Google Wave: Google Tries to Reinvent Email - 0 views

  •  
    Google today announced a new Internet-based communications and collaboration platform; Google Wave. While some of the details are still a bit sketchy, Google Wave looks to be an integrated communications platform that brings together email, chat, photo-sharing, and collaborative editing features. Google describes a 'wave' as "equal parts conversation and document" and the Wave team basically sees it as a replacement for email and other collaboration tools.

Research Question One - Horizon.au - 0 views

  • Ubiquitous Video not in size or stature, but the complete process of video from capture (capability built into phones, pocket cameras, Flip devices) to easy to use editing tools (some web-based, but full featured ones come with modern operating systems), to ease of distribution via video sharing sites YouTube, vimeo, etc all point to video being a common form of communication (and in terms of response via video), so that "writing" is now multimodal.

Insidious pedagogy: how course management systems impact teaching - 2 views

  • The buttons link to pages that simply provide a place to upload a document, which is exactly what most instructors do: upload word–processed files of their classroom materials. They are encouraged to “plug in” their content under the appropriate category instead of envisioning a translation of their individual pedagogical style into an online environment. Blackboard “tends to encourage a linear pathway through the content” [3], and its default is to support easy uploading and text entry to achieve that goal.
  • Even after several years of working with the CMS, faculty requests for help focus on what the technology can do, rather than how their pedagogical goals can be achieved.
  • Morgan notes such improvement as a “side effect of the use of the software rather than a direct result of its use” [5] — those willing to play around with the features tend to discover new directions for their teaching.

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.

    Using TinCan for mining data about the students learning experiences.

    theory and practice in teaching for a digital age Summary of the main learning theories Educators have had to work out how to move from the theoretical position to the practical one of applying these theories within an educational experience.

Enhancing the power of our reflective practice - The Learner's Way - 2 views

  •  
    "We do not learn from experience... we learn from reflecting on experience." ― John Dewey These words by John Dewey point to a truth about learning that is often forgotten. Experience alone is not sufficient for true learning to occur; reflection is an essential part of the process and our failure to include time for this is why our learning often does not stick.

How might we confront the challenges of time and "the system"? - The Learner's Way - 0 views

  •  
    Two forces seem to present the most significant obstacle to educators hoping to achieve these illustrious goals for and with their learners. The first is time, the second is "the system". Together these two factors act as a bulwark to change; the constraints within which progress is able to occur but only to the point that it strikes against the seemingly immutable obstacles.
