Un nouveau centre d'innovation pour des applications d'e-learning mobiles Transformer la manière d'apprendre grâce des applications mobiles ad-hoc, tel est l'objectif d'un nouveau centre d'innovation du MIT, en collaboration avec Google. Le "MIT Center for Mobile Learning" vient d'ouvrir ses portes aux Etats unis. Né d'un projet commun entre le MIT et Google, il aura pour objectif de créer et d'étudier les nouvelles technologies mobiles qui permettront aux internautes d'apprendre, n'importe où, n'importe quand et avec n'importe qui. Hébergé dans le célèbre Media Lab, le centre va démarrer son activité avec le développement et l'amélioration du logiciel open source développé par Google, nommé "App inventor for Android", et qui permet à l'utilisateur de développer de petites applications sur le modèle du Click'n share. Un cadre de développement bénéfique aux deux participants Plus que les innovations qui verront le jour, c'est la coopération entre les deux organisations qui attire l'attention.

Unbolting the chairs In the physical world, it goes without saying that not all classrooms look the same. A room that is appropriate for teaching physics is in no way set up for teaching art history. A large lecture hall with stadium seating is not well-suited to a small graduate seminar. And even within a particular class space, most rooms are substantially configurable. The situation is starkly different in most virtual classrooms. This is not as it should be. Granted, some of these applications exist today and can be included in an LMS. Opening the Floodgates There are several different ways that software can be designed for extensibility. Nevertheless, even the most conservative estimate of Google Maps mash-ups is higher than the total number of extensions that exist for any mainstream LMS by an order of magnitude.

Bringing online learning to a research-intensive university A spirited debate recently arose on the International Forum of Educational Technology & Society (IFETS) listserv. A (real world) conference had been announced with the aim of "raising awareness of the benefits of using online technologies in supporting teaching, learning and assessment, with a particular emphasis on the impact of e learning." A university was organizing this conference and aiming it at the university sector. Contributors to the IFETS listserv questioned whether there was still a need for conferences on this topic. E-Learning and the VLE UCD is a traditional, campus-based university with a strong commitment to research. Nevertheless, a few academics at UCD have become enthusiasts for active and engaging e learning. Case Study The UCD School of Medicine and Medical Science and the UCD Audio Visual Centre set up a project team to conduct a study on the attitudes to and practice of e learning within the School. Some members of the faculty were interviewed. Our Solution
APA Formatting and Style Guide Summary: APA (American Psychological Association) style is most commonly used to cite sources within the social sciences. This resource, revised according to the 6th edition, second printing of the APA manual, offers examples for the general format of APA research papers, in-text citations, endnotes/footnotes, and the reference page. For more information, please consult the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, (6th ed., 2nd printing). Contributors: Joshua M. Please use the example at the bottom of this page to cite the Purdue OWL in APA.

planete-elearning Predictions for e-Learning in 2011 At the start of each year, eLearn Magazine's editors, advisory board members, and other contributors predict what changes are afoot for the coming 12 months. Here are our predictions for 2011. The Rise of Curation The massive amount of information online needs better curation so that more people benefit from it. With the increased use of technology in all education and training and the increased use of mobile phones globally, it makes less sense than ever to talk about e-learning and m-learning. —Lisa Gualtieri, eLearn Magazine editor-in-chief, and adjunct clinical professor at Tufts University School of Medicine [Twitter: @lisagualtieri] Change One Teacher at a Time 2011 will see more progress, albeit at a leisurely pace, of new technologies in the classroom. —Jill Duffy, formerly senior editor at eLearn Magazine, writer and editor covering technology in New York [Twitter @jilleduffy] Working and Learning Merge! —Charles Jennings, Duntroon Associates and Internet Time Alliance —Roger C.
~ Stephen's Web [All Presentations] New Tools for Personal Learning Nov 25, 2009 Lecture presentation delivered to MEFANET 2009 Conference, Brno, Czech Republic, via MVU Videoconference. In this presentation I describe how new technologies are being designed in order to adapt to a rapidly changing and complex world. [Slides] [Audio] [Conference Link] Mobilizing and Globalizing with Online Education Whatever the times, education is an important vehicle to rise above certain of life's inequities. While many countries, including so-called third world nations, have slowly been building their educational systems, America—despite its policies, programs, and good intent—has paid mere lip service to the realization of its educational goals. Consequently, education in many states in America is witnessing a breakdown. For example, in the state of Georgia, high school graduation rates are low, and college graduation rates even lower. What these figures project for our students' futures, in terms of jobs and the attendant quality of life (let alone gender and race relations), is anyone's guess. Like a call from a person on the verge of committing suicide, these figures are a clarion cry for help which must not be ignored. Setting aside lofty rhetoric: We must mobilize education! Inclusiveness is also evident in new curricula for existing and new courses and programs of study. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
Personal learning environment Personal Learning Environments (PLE) are systems that help learners take control of and manage their own learning.[1] This includes providing support for learners to: Set their own learning goals.Manage their learning, both content and process.Communicate with others in the process of learning. A PLE represents the integration of a number of "Web 2.0" technologies like blogs, Wikis, RSS feeds, Twitter, Facebook, etc. around the independent learner. Using the term "e-learning 2.0", Stephen Downes describes the PLE as: "... one node in a web of content, connected to other nodes and content creation services used by other students. ROLE supports openness by designing a ROLE Reference implementation - infrastructure that supports assembled widget bundles with communication channels, authentication and authorization mechanisms, services for activity tracking and analysis and access to psycho-pedagogical user profiles.
