"Students in Chris Haskell’s teacher training classes at Boise State University learn by completing digital “quests.” If an assignment has mistakes, Haskell will return it to the student to correct. If it doesn’t, the student will be rewarded a certain number of “experience points” counting toward the final grade. This is how learning takes place in a quest-based classroom, which Haskell, a clinical assistant professor of educational technology, has helped develop at Boise State. In 2010, Haskell and Lisa Dawley, an educational technology professor, created an online gaming, quest-based learning platform called 3D GameLab, which is now being tested by 560 teachers at secondary schools and higher educational institutions around the world..."

The Smarter Objects system explores a new method for interaction with everyday objects. The system associates a virtual object with every physical object to support an easy means of modifying the interface and the behavior of that physical object as well as its interactions with other "smarter objects". As a user points a smart phone or tablet at a physical object, an augmented reality (AR) application recognizes the object and offers an intuitive graphical interface to program the object's behavior and interactions with other objects. Once reprogrammed, the Smarter Object can then be operated with a simple tangible interface (such as knobs, buttons, etc). As such Smarter Objects combine the adaptability of digital objects with the simple tangible interface of a physical object. We have implemented several Smarter Objects and usage scenarios demonstrating the potential of this approach.

"O sistema de objetos Smarter explora um novo método de interação com objetos do cotidiano. O sistema associa um objeto virtual com cada objeto físico para suportar um meio fácil de modificar a interface eo comportamento do objeto físico, bem como suas interações com outros "objetos inteligentes". Como um usuário aponta um smartphone ou tablet em um objeto físico, uma realidade aumentada (AR) aplicativo reconhece o objeto e oferece uma interface gráfica intuitiva para o programa de comportamento e interações com outros objetos do objeto. Uma vez reprogramada, o Smarter objeto pode ser operado com uma interface tangível simples (como maçanetas, botões, etc.) Como tal, os mais inteligentes objetos combinar a capacidade de adaptação dos objetos digitais com interface tangível simples de um objeto físico. Nós implementamos vários objetos inteligentes e cenários de uso, demonstrando o potencial desta abordagem." Delete the scoop?

First of all, the MOOCs I have worked on have not focused on assessment - they have been courses, yes, with a small number (20 or so) taking them for credit, but the vast majority of participants auditing. So the question of marking term papers never came up. And like you, I would not contemplate multiple-choice exams in humanities and literature courses. Via Kim Flintoff

Mind mapping is a method that works for quite a lot of people. Brain storming, idea mapping, thought generation, think tanks – call it what you will. Traditionally done on large pieces of paper, why not use your iPad to create mind maps? You could use these for your own purposes, or “convert” those large flip charts into a smaller, digital version. Via Baiba Svenca

Research shows that mind maps (graphic organizers) are effective during all stages of learning. You can use them as an introduction to a unit, during the unit for continued note taking, or at the conclusion as a formative assessment to make sure your students truly understand the material.

Great concept: "TeachingTree works by allowing its users to add videos and tag concepts at specific points in long lectures. Other users can then jump to the exact moment when an idea is being explained, easily view other teachers' explanations of a concept, and skip to related topics without delay. With data collected from over 2000 tags and 900 videos, TeachingTree is also able to present concepts in a unique way using "the Tree", which maps the connections between each tag on the site. This allows users to naturally work their way through subjects without being constrained by a single lecturer or a course's linear structure..." Delete the scoop?
