Before it became known as the idiot box, television was seen as the best hope for bringing enlightenment to the American people... ... In light of the current buzz surrounding flipped classrooms, MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) and video lecture-capture; this piece on Matt Novak's excellent Paleofuture blog at Smithsonian.com, serves to remind us that educational TV/broadcasting; (now online video), is nothing new and perhaps offers us a clearer historical and academic context for evaluating the current use of video and broadcast technologies for learning. The drawings used to illustrate the article are superb, and worthy of inclusion in any serious presentation about online learning!

"The purpose of this article is to promote the significance of feedback regarding students’ working with written texts in higher education and to point out how technology can develop the quality and form of teachers’ feedback. The results of studies and tests completed in eight separate subject areas demonstrate that video feedback simplifies and increases the efficiency of responding to students’ work, as it allows the opportunity to achieve increased levels of precision and quality in the feedback process. Students emphasize their learning dividend and the inspiration they experience from working with this format. They actively use their teacher’s comments and acquire a stronger emotional bond with him/her as well. Keywords: Video feedback, screen capture, feedback, higher education."
Sherry Stones is presenting the workshop: “A Flipped Classroom: Students as Curators with Storify”. Storify will be used to demonstrate design multimodal/multimedia research-based assignments, due to its features such as Hashtag specific Tweets, Flicker and Instagram images, Soundcloud audios and Youtube videos. Most of the expected outcomes of the workshop can be associated to teaching and learning in general. Important ideas: a) Storify has a great educational potential; b) You can organize Storify content based on theme or topic; c) You can easily embed Hashtag specific Tweets, Flicker and Instagram images, Soundcloud audios and Youtube videos; d) It helps students develop research, synthesis and presentation skills; f) It helps students to evaluate the credibility and relevance of web sources; g) It enables teachers to set assignments and rubric; h) You can embed a Storify page into a Blog; i) Other types of Open Access Content are great for embedding on Storify, such as: Xtranormal, Goanimate, Animoto animations; Infographics and Flicker images; Google Docs; Vimeo, Big Think, and Academic Earth videos; Webcomics; Prezi and Google Slideshows; Learning Objects.
