Collaborative project between JIBC and University of Guadalajara to promote course design to be student centered and deploying mobile technology.
This week we move into the second phase of the UdG Agora project. After two face to face one week long “studio” sessions of 150 University of Guadalajara faculty, we move into an 8 week online phase where they are asked to develop and implement 3-4 challenges with their courses, creating activities that are student […]
I should have posted these photos a while ago. On the last day of each week of the face to face activities for UdG Agora we asked people to assemble on the lawn outside the CUAAD campus classrooms we used for our sessions. It worked our well because I went two floors higher and was […]
Am major component to the UDG Agora Project is the Challenge Bank I put into place… and after two weeks of intense use for our face to face sessions in Guadalajara, I am quivering in relief that it worked w/o going up in flames. It got close to 37,000 accesses in that time frame, a […]
I have no insight to the future of twitter as a company that rumbles around the conjecture, business, and tech gazing blogs. Tech is always a moving target. Below are some thoughts and even charts and graphs about our use of twitter for the UdGAgora project, focussing for now on the use with our two […]
Much as he may disavow my assertion (ask him about the one in Flagstaff a few years ago), Brian Lamb and I getting together for presenting is always a peak experience, usually peaking soon before it happens. For the UdG Agora face to face sessions last month in Guadalajara, Tannis Morgan asked us to do […]
Another part of my bag of tricks I brought to the UdG Agora was setting up a site modeled after the original DS106 Daily Create (which is itself a derivative of the defunct Daily Shoot). This idea is something I have kept close for quite some time, that establishing a regular creative practice done daily, […]
Alas, my pile of things to blog about the UdG Agora project is more like the pile of stones than the finished end piece. Here I will describe what went into the main project web site http://udg.theagoraonline.net/ — and as all my web sites go, they are never quite done; some organization needs to happen. […]
Purring like a finely tuned machine… To followup on the first phase the blogging about the UdG Agora Project, here I will dive into some details of the web site(s) which I am responsible/to blame for. This post covers the overall set up, some stats, and info on the main site. Subsequent posts will/should detail […]
I do not know where to begin writing. Back when I was just a puppy of a blogger, I’d document almost every session of a conference. I look at this empty WordPress editing screen trying to figure how to describe the last two weeks spent in Guadalajara in the perhaps the most intense and most […]
It’s impossible to summarize. And likely will not fully happen. Today is the last day of two weeks of the most intensive and the most rewarding work with faculty and technology, in a city I continually use my stunted Spanish to say “Me encanta Guadalajara.” So intense the blog posts have not happened. But to […]
