Hinweis der Redaktion
- Stress the word “Towards” – this presentation will not provide a complete answer to the set essay – that would be stupid!
- Admire your initiative. But this approach isn’t scalable and I need to be fair and treat every student in the same way.Also I didn’t set the assessment, or even get to see it before it went out. There are a few issues that you’ll need to discuss with Neil.
- Slides available and extra material in duo – including links to things I think you’ll have trouble finding…
- You don’t need to scrabble to write down the URLs – links are on duo.
- You don’t need to scrabble to write down the URLs – links are on duo.
- You don’t need to scrabble to write down the URLs – links are on duo.
- You don’t need to scrabble to write down the URLs – links are on duo.
- Take a few slides just to remind ourselves what we have to submit at the end of the day
- I think we need to have some common understanding of these before we can look at examples
- We will look at these systems and consider the biases we bring to this process!
- I’ve not read this – applying this framework is your job!Remember I don’t teach or mark this work!.I am a Geographer not an Economist by training
- Ask the students about this…
- Hmm – what are these?This is not a definitive list – I don’t think the University has one! SMS, mobile, etc.
- Hmm – what are these?Stress the importance of flexibility/customisation (but a double-edged sword)
- What does this mean?Anyone studied Education? Know what it means? No? Use your technology…
- Lower order thinking skills (base) to higher order skills (peak) – what can students do in the system?This has been used to categorize a range of tools – don’t necessary agree with this one, but you get the idea.We could apply this to LMSs…

- Guess where each LMS lies along any of these (or other) continuums
- In no particular order, lets look at support for standards – the LMS is maturing now.ASIDE: the Librarian’s Question – what do we do when we stop using your software – how do we get the data out?
- Why are standards important?
- Just examples – how important is supporting everything: BYOD vs supported list.Controlled environment: NHS vs chaos - University
- Middleware is very important, standards may help here.
- Capital, per-student and on-going support costsRemember some software may not be for sale!
- What is the item often paired?Is software ever free? What is the real cost?Predictable vs open-ended – e.g. number of users vs. disk space
- Add warning – I don’t teach this course, I don’t mark your work, I’m a geographer…
