Dragos Ciobanu, Neil Morris and Alina Secara showed how at the University of Leeds, they are experimenting with Adobe Connect Pro. Here too, they luckily choose to just demonstrate instead of explain in words only.

Simon Booth from the University of Stirling and Colin Dalziel from Pebble Learning gave an overview of the use of LTI as part of the ceLTIc project. LTI stands for Learning Tool Interoperability and is a mechanism with which it should be easier to connect different systems. For example, you have Moodle as your VLE and want to use PeddelPad. Through […]
In his presentation titled “The Distributed, Web 2.0 VLE?

Ik kreeg een mail van Tom Bakker met een verwijzing naar een tweet van hem over hoe ik de gratis ruimte van mijn Dropbox account eenvoudig kon verdubbelen. In mijn geval van bijna 10GB (het maximum dat je met referrals kunt verzamelen) naar 20GB! Het is heel eenvoudig: Dropbox heeft een actie waarbij ze de gratis ruimte + de bonus per […]

He used one of the participants to perform a […]
John Davies and Clare Hardman from the Teaching and Learning Development Unit of the University of Sussex did an interesting session about their Me2U project. They use the Echo360 Personal Capture system with which teachers can create (small) recordings on their laptops. It works similar to what I would do with Camtasia Studio, but without the more advanced options. However, this […]
Day one of the ALT-C 2011 started with a keynote by Miguel Brechner. He talked about the educational and social impacts of Plan Ceibal, the One Laptop Per Child project in which more than 450,000 computers have been deployed to every pupil in state education from the 1st year of primary to the 3rd year of secondary school. 99% of these […]
Oei, veel teveel buzzwords in die titel. Maar er was nou eenmaal geen kortere manier om dit goed te beschrijven. De oplossing van HannsG zorgt er voor dat je via een USB dongle in je Android tablet een verbinding kunt maken met een monitor. Je kunt dan draadloos alles wat je op de Android tablet doet laten zien op die monitor. […]
Deze week ben ik in Leeds bij de Universiteit van Leeds voor de ALT-C 2011 conferentie. Het is de 18e editie alweer van deze Britse conferentie van de Association for Learning Technology, een beroepsvereniging op het gebied van leertechnologie. Dit jaar verzorg ik er een short paper presentation naar aanleiding van mijn promotie-onderzoek. Ik heb dan 12 minuten de tijd om […]
