Some activity at last
It’s been a pretty busy morning so far, catching up on all the feeds that I’ve neglected over the past month or so. Here’s a list of a few things I found that might be interesting to you.
Found Academic Earth, an online repository of video lectures by international scholars, which could be a useful resource.
Did some research on a social networking platform called Elgg that could be useful for the department, rather than relying on a hosted service like Ning.
Read this short article on differentiated learning spaces at Eduspaces (also powered by Elgg).
Gave some feedback on the OpenPhysio paediatric assignment.
Read a little more on the idea of open research (or research 2.0, online research communities), which is an approach I’d like to consider for the writing of my PhD.
Came across this interesting article on Social learning at C4LPT, a social media platform for learning that runs on Elgg.
Found this presentation on Slideshare about the 21st century classroom.
Found an article on the principles of web-based teaching at the Canadian Journal of Teaching and Technology.
Downloaded an article called Beyond constructivism: exploring future learning paradigms from Pedadogy.ir.
Followed a few people on Twitter.
