Graduate Certificate in Higher Education Website, Weblog & Wiki Phew...  this is the first website I've ever really put together in total... it is in the daft template that my University dictates I must use, imports the weblog as a (secret) frame from incsub.org as nobody will support the use of .php (or any dbase driven web content actually!) and looks funny in IE... but who gives a crap eh, it's done for the moment :o) Just in case you missed it, here it is again ;o: Graduate Certificate in Higher Education - Teaching and Learning Online (which I've been co-planning and am teaching on - yay :o) - in the second half of this semester) Having said that I'd love some feedback, there's a posting on the site now asking for that and I'd be deeply indebted if anyone felt they had a minute, a moment, a faint glance... (bearing in mind the constraints I'm working with and the fact that I only just this afternoon figured out how to make links open on a new window :o) People might be interested in: The journals section - I'm quite pleased with this, it's a kind of edited & annotated version of an earlier list and now quotes the sites themselves and tells you if they have search functionality (which is just a bit' important I reckon) The articles - each category has (down the bottom of the left bar) some interesting scholarly recent online articles in that particular area. Check out Communication, Collaboration & Community Online, Evaluation Online, Assessment Online,  Culture and Internationalization Online &  Using Online Resources. Guidance and purpose in using a weblog (I'm using WordPress here) and a wiki in this context (the general site purpose which touches on these is here). I've done a quick step-by-step for the wiki for any Tiki enthusiasts out there. 9:24:00 PM    comments   trackback

Self contained worlds and real games Clay writes brilliantly over at M2M about a scam in online game Eve by a seriously unhappy user. This is one of those postings that I think is going to have a delayed impact as there are so many important points within it but a couple that jump out are the first bit about communication tools: "There was a time, in the days of LambdaMOO, when a number of observers of computer-mediated communications believed that most mediated interaction would be contained in a self-consistent world — users would go to a place and talk with one another once there. (Insert “as if” quotes to taste…)" Which made me smile and then sob a little as anyone who is forced to work with the likes of WebCT knows that this is a perception that has not gone away but has in fact gained ground and is continuing to do so (have Blackboard done away with their use of email? Something I read on the site recently seemed to indicate that they had.) Also I had a bit of an 'ahha' moment reading this in terms of games. If I read another article about the potential use of video games in elearning then I'll probably, um, well, say 'pah' or something. Games are important in teaching and learning, very very important (as any Thiagi or Rinvolucri reader will attest to), but it's not about video games, artificial realities or computer-person interaction, they are important because they are fundamentally based around people and interactions between people... and that's the beauty and the pain of Eve for Nightfreeze I guess... and the potential for us. 10:53:08 AM    comments   trackback
