#ocTEL   James for your post which I saw on the ocTEL website, flagging up this community – I’m trying Google+ out for the first time (all part of week 0, isn’t it!).  

I thought I would share a blog I have written after attending a fascinating workshop yesterday by David White of Oxford University about online behaviours – visitors and residents.  My big question for ocTEL is about this area.  There are some links to find out more about the project in my blog entry…

#ocTEL Visitors and residents – David White workshop

Posted on by AliSheph Posted in Blog posts, Course Reader

I attended a workshop run by David (from the University of Oxford’s continuing education department, where he co-manages the TALL (technology-assisted lifelong learning) research and development group) yesterday.  Thought-provoking stuff, not least because the subject is closely linked to my big question for #ocTEL, and my musings on digital expectations gap! ‘Visitors and residents’ relates […]

Profile & big question

Posted on by Kevin Brace Posted in Course Reader, JISCMail, Lists

My name is Kevin Brace,

I am currently working at Aston University supporting the uptake of Technology Enhanced Learning by academics & their support staff. The VLE is still the prevalent platform, although leacture casting is making great strides into the TEL arena, as is webinars, but on a lesser level. E-assessment and all of its facets still continues to dominate the big conversation, yet also still resists taming! Previously I worked for JISC RSC West Mid’s helping to spread the word of using active learning online tools, and promoting the need for curriculum (re)design to ensure TEL tools are […]

Time-Travel as Punishment-What our kids REALLY hate

Posted on by Anne Nortcliffe Posted in Bookmarks, Course Reader, Mendeley Group

Educational Technology (2013). Pages: 1-2.

Marc Prensky et al.

I recently heard a school librarian describe her approach to getting kids to take an interest in projects she wants them to do. She offers them two alternatives: Plan A is for the kids to use any and all of the computers, phones and other technology at their disposal to do the project. Plan B is to do it the old way—hauling books, encyclopedias, dictionaries etc. off the shelves, and copying and writing only by hand. Almost all the kids choose plan A, she said. They see plan B as punishment—often severe punishment.

Activity 0.2 Initial Comments and discussion

Posted on by jrconlon95 Posted in Blog posts, Course Reader

I think this will be Activity 0.2 part 1 as I think I may be going off on a tangent. Or off on a tandem as my son used to say! I have been thinking about participation and discussion today. Also about the judgments we may make about level of participation. I stumbled across James […]
