Why I care about edtech

http://darcynorman.net/images/crankbg.pngBy D’Arcy Norman. I’ve been in the edtech game for a long time. I started as a programmer in 1994, then moved into instructional design, and now am working with an amazing group of folks to integrate learning technologies into the practices of instructors and students.
But. Why?
I just came from a workshop that made it clear that many in the edtech field see innovation as something like “working out creative licensing deals with vendors and/or publishers.”
No. It isn’t.
Edtech is important because it can be transformative.
Transformative.
It can literally change the nature of the learning experience. It can shift people from consume mode, into collaborate and publish mode. It can knock down walls. Evaporate silos. Connect people across campus, across campuses, and across the globe. Read more...

Lawyer creates video platform for academics

http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQWMTBx0CPzMFK637Zb6AgNbjhxfVRtTVkrwKoq4ZPL2p18KKWOEwB3AWIBy Elizabeth Raymer. Scholars can connect with public through short ‘vlogs’.
Academics looking for a way to engage and educate the public through video clips now have a platform. It’s called Vidoyen (combining the words “video” and the French word for dean, doyen), and it was launched last year by a Toronto technology lawyer. More...

Teaching With Video

http://www.insidehighered.com/sites/default/server_files/styles/blog_landing/public/StratEDgy%20Graphic%20Resized.jpg?itok=kIrUoz70By Margaret Andrews. Throughout the years I’ve taught a variety of courses and short programs and have collected a relatively short list of favorite films and videos that I use to illustrate certain lessons and behaviors.  Here are some of my favorites:
Milkshakes:  This four-minute video showcases Clay Christensen talking about how you get the most creative insights into a situation/problem by making sure you ask the right questions. Read more...

Free trial year for reviewing #cloud #training option

Inge Ignatia de WaardBy Inge Ignatia de Waard. After having a quick look at a new training platform LearningStone I got quite excited. The new Cloud based platform (self-promoting as supporting training professionals with an instant, flexible online platform to support class based training groups) is developed by two experienced EdTech people (which is already a bonus). Sjoerd Boersma and Michiel Klonhammer just released their two year effort and it looks promising. Even after a first look the platform seems to make sense in terms of training options, quick group overviews, focused interaction spaces... Though admittedly I will need more time in order to really review the total package and see whether the ubiquity really works, the tools are truly intuitive and the centrality of the platform (bringing all course components together into one place) feels like a total package that would fit any trainer or course tutors agenda.

http://chronicle.com/img/photos/biz/profhacker-45.pngBy George Williams. At the beginning of last month, I asked ProfHacker readers to share their favorite apps for the new year, and there are many great contributions in the comments section of that post. Lately, I’ve been talking with my campus colleagues about ways to use the iPad in the classroom. More...

Why We Joined edX

http://www.insidehighered.com/sites/default/server_files/styles/blog_landing/public/technology_and_learning_blog_header.jpg?itok=aQthgJ91By Joshua Kim. Last week my institution announced that it is joining the edX consortium, and will start offering open online courses this fall.
Over the next weeks and months I’m hoping that our IHE community can utilize this platform to engage in a discussion about how to best leverage open online education to improve an intimate, campus-based, learning experience. Read more...

Trois chantiers pour aligner la formation sur le Web

http://www.solutions-ressources-humaines.com/logo/e227bb344af67d5logo_formaguide_gf.gifPar Michel Diaz. Un salarié, c’est souvent, pour ne pas dire toujours, un internaute… On imagine que les deux auront de plus en plus de mal à cohabiter, à comparer les services qu’ils obtiennent de leur entreprise et sur le Web, dans le champ de l’apprentissage en particulier !
Dédoublement de personnalité de rigueur ! En tant qu’internaute (mobinaute, etc.), je me goinfre tant et plus des produits et services que m’offre le Web. Une vraie corne d’abondance ! Des ressources en nombre infini, souvent de grande qualité, aux formats les plus variés… Freemium : les services de base sont gratuits, je peux aussi tester le niveau premium et m’abonner d’un clic s’il me convient. Ces services sont par ailleurs immédiatement accessibles, sur tous mes « devices » (ordinateur, tablette, smartphone). Suite...
