Week/Deadline #5
- listen to weekly podcast (week 4 and 5 will be up in Gabcast by the end of the evening 3/18 and up in iTunes sometime tomorrow!)
- course build: Basically get building! I'm hoping that you will attempt to build a complete module; however, that means different things to different people/courses. Once you've completed building some materials, please share them with us in some manner. If they are materials in password protected LMSs, consider taking screen captures and sharing them in Picasa or your blog. Please do post a "course build" blog entry that talks about the processes of building this module (difficulties, surprises, excitement, etc.). At this point I'm just a cheer leader! If you want feedback on what you are doing, please just make sure to invite feedback (ask specific questions) in your blog. The rest of us will be sure to go in, read, and respond.
- new technologies: Video, well, I already briefly introduced Jing as a method to make screen capture videos. There are lots of tools out there to help make videos from different raw materials; some examples include:
There are also lots of ways to "publish" video materials, with YouTube being the most popular (upload video that is then made into a Flash file that you can embed in other resources like wikis and blogs). Many schools (with Mesa CC being one of them) are slowly developing methods for streaming video from their own servers. Ultimately, video is a HUGE topic. If you have specific ideas or questions, ask below and we can start a dialog.
- find course content: Instead of making your own videos, find some pre-made ones. Sites to check out (and don't forget to think about copyright issues...) include:
- blog entry: reflection on learning from week and briefly discuss a video you found (try to embed it into the blog posting).
- wiki entry: Please find a resource about accessibility and online learning and post it to the ADA wiki page
- iGoogle: add links about either your topic or about online teaching and learning to your online teaching & learning resource page (at least 4); remember, you have to re-share with me since iGoogle doesn't automatically update on my shared page :-(
- And for a good laugh...what would you do if you owned the internet? (video from TED)
