Technology Enabled Learning & Teaching @ UNSW

Interesting video on using the HTML block as a way of creating links to navigate through course topics - avoiding excessive scrolling.

The navigation links on the left hand side are nice but for a completely new (for a learner) technical issue I would rather include the icons. Also, in Moodle 1.9.6 "Book" as a resource type was allowing for reaching the same outcome without complications of inclusing HTML blocks.

Moodle site that explains some of the Web 2.0 tools and their applications in teaching and learning. Aimed at school teachers but a nice summary of some of the tools out there.

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."

The comments are as interesting as the article.

Great TED talk on the future of learning and innovation.

Several useful Moodle activities and some clever plugins.
