General educational technology things no longer worthy of their own cateory
One of the discussion topics at Maricopa’s May 2002 Ocotillo Retreat, we had people work in groups to produce “blueprints” for various instructional techniology topics. See the Cafˆà Discussions: Library of Re-usable Learning Objects for the activity and see the summary and images of sketches.
Learning Objects Readings assembled by Micheael Roy at Wesleyan for a new Learning Object site being developed there (worth a click and look). Their project sounds interesting and is using some (free) web portal tools from the Internet Scout project
Ryan Eby, a Michigan State University education major, has created an e-Portfolio in Movable Type, a nice example of using te reflective aspects of a blog for this purpose.
An online workshop from Australia’s NET*Working 2002 conference (Ozzies know how to run a great online conference, I have participated in this one was as well as th eone from 2000) designed as an introduction to LOs.
This experimental site form 2000 (MLX Item #372), a multi-user application designed to teach students the interplay of variables in the Ideal Gas law, has been getting a fair bit of action lately. Check it out.
Just to keep up, here is some summary blog action referring to our work here on Learning Objects and RSS (Too bad Manila/Radio users do not have their entries coded internally to be recognized via autodiscover, and cannot be TrackBacked)…
And it has been only about a week or two since the dabbling really got started.
More to come here in the nest few weeks as some new efforts get under way in the area of Electronic Portfiolios. For now, see the 100+ resources collected for our October 18, 2003
ePortfolio Dialogue Day
MT Plugins is very useful collection of addition tools for Movable Type for those that are setting up an MT site, all free. I’ve added two so far and plan to go back for more…
Meet my second learning object blogger, Boris the humanities teacher. He also finds the same correlation meter blogged by Lora, and ads an entry to his own blog- essentially he has a different use for the same LO. And thus, one object in our collection can be networked to places where it is referenced: http://jade.mcli.dist.maricopa.edu/cgi-bin/tb.cgi?__mode=list&tb_id=278
