Happy Solstice, Year End Reflections
(I have a half-dozen posts to write that don’t seem to be getting done, so this will have to suffice for now. Maybe over the holidays – oh yeah, right, “holidays.” Time *off*.) Tonight (and tomorrow, we don’t discriminate) is one of our biggest celebrations of the year, Winter Solstice. I hope you have a [...]
Walking the Web 2.0 Talk…and you can help
http://solr.bccampus.ca/wiki/index.php/SREB_Web2.0 Next week I am back in Atlanta to give a talk on “Web 2.0″ to the educational technology working group of the Southern Regional Education Board (SREB). At this point in the game, giving a talk on “Web 2.0″ is pretty daunting, not because the topic is that difficult but because it’s been done [...]
Recent Presentation – The Pros and Cons of Loosely Coupled Teaching
http://edtechpost.wikispaces.com/The+Pros+and+Cons+of+Loosely+Coupled+Teaching The other presentation I did at WCET this year was a lot more fun. Asked to do a 15 minute spiel on a panel entitled “The Once and Future LMS” I promptly ignored the title of the session (as is my wont) and came up with my own, The Pros and Cons of Loosely [...]
My Recent OpenID Preso
http://www.slideshare.net/sleslie/open-id/ Somehow I think this is likely of limited value if you are reading this blog. I don’t think I really know that many people who don’t know what OpenID is or why we in higher ed should be paying attention to it. But when I gave this talk during an ‘student authentication’ session at [...]
My interview with the CogDog
http://cogdogblog.com/conversations/scott-leslie.mp3 As part of the cogdog’s recent tour down under, he interviewed a number of blog colleagues for quotable quotes. I just found the one I did with him now and listened to it for the first time (what, like this is a revealing admission, from a blogger?) I must admit I’m actually kind of [...]
Your favourite "Loosely Coupled Teaching" example?
As part of my new ongoing efforts to collect and re-present ‘Best Practice’ examples of what I’ll call “loosely coupled teaching” I am really interested to hear from readers their single best example of a course (ideally one reachable on the public internet) taught using contemporary social software/web 2.0 tools outside a course management system. [...]
Zero-Install Remote Screen Sharing Apps?
Both as someone who supports online learning and as someone who supports remote users of various software services, I have a keen interest in screen-sharing software and techniques, as these are often the quickest way to diagnose and troubleshoot problems. Now there are a huge number of good solutions that let you share your own [...]
Teaching with Technology Idea Exchange 2008
http://www.ttix.org/ Got an email today from someone at Utah Valley State College asking me if I would place an ad here on edtechpost for their upcoming Teaching with Technology Idea Exchange conference. I told them that I do not accept advertising, but given that the conference is FREE I told them I would at least [...]
Suggestions for best sources on teaching with loosely coupled tools
So, if you’ll induldge me again, I have another question as a follow up to the last one. What is your favourite source for finding new examples of people teaching online with loosely coupled tools? Is there a blogger you already follow who regularly posts great examples from the field? Or is there a trove [...]
What would help you make better technology choices?
So I need your help. For about 5 years I worked on the Edutools project with my friend and colleague Bruce Landon. Whether you liked the site or hated it (there seemed to be hundreds lined up on both sides of the fence) ultimately our goal and motivation was to help people make better decisions [...]
