Resources for DNLE for 21st Century

Good idea...

The "Peacock", OMG!

Interesante y divertida inforgrafía de los perfiles en la red.

Funny article, but its a very interesting update about user Personalities.

Mobile phones key throughout Africa...and don't forget about two (at least) long-standing concepts in the NEW context of digital learning: appropriate technology AND sustainability.

"We are entering the stage where broadband penetration, at least, in (Western) Europe, is pretty much a good myth, specially, if you don’t live in big cities. If you live in relatively small towns, or rural / remote areas, that pervasive connectivity is non-existent, which comes to fight the argument that the Web keeps us all hyperconnected and networked no matter what. Well, it matters, connectivity, at least, in Europe, is not as pervasive as what most folks feel, and if you have been reading my recent business trips across several European countries, it’s more of a wider issue than anything else, not necessarily related to a specific country or local region."

One for the 'cloud' risk register me thinks ;)

So connectivity is not universal. That will be a surprise to some people I work with.

Simon Staffans builds on Robert Pratten's 5Rs of Mobile in Transmedia Storytelling.

Peeps consume different media at different times on different devices. Worth some thought for sure.

Excellent reflection of a multidimensional concept!

Literacy

Good PD for teachers - a lot of interesting things to think about while presenting in the classroom and beyond.

Before setting your students off to do their PPT have them review this.

We have to know how is the better way to show effective classroom presentations

Useful advice from those who know how to present!

add your insight...

This works as a great summary reminder of tools, tips and tricks to make you communication (not just presenations!) more compelling

Need to explore Emaze to create amazing presentations

This is an early stage beta; fun to play around with but not super-intuitive. Still, it beats PowerPoint's klugey design and typography from dolts.

It's an early beta but looks promising for making more interesting presentations. Not at "swoopy" as Prezi (that's good).

Please visit  http://www.digitalcinema.ca for one of our surveys!

The way that we connect to static story as opposed to interactive story is an interesting topic. The masters of the genres discuss it here.

Excellent pointers for a creative presentation 

Great list!  And not just social media...

A great list of C's

This blog post looks at how you can use a task management tool with gamification features to increase learner autonomy and better time management.

In a well-planned badge framework, these can be symbols of assessed knowledge and skills

Excellent site about learning modatlities Visual, Aural, Read/write and Kinesthetic. Contains questionnaires in different languages for adults and children and learning strategies that support the different styles.

And a Learning Style Questionnaire

Though your channel's landing page might appear simple (and it's grown simpler over the years), there are a number of features you can fine-tune to optimize a viewer's experience. You can't customize like you used to, and there's a lot of white space, but there are very specific ways to make your page stand out.

"How can people and computers be so connected - collectively - that they act more intelligently than any individuals, groups or computers have ever done before?"

Two articles in PDF:

Managing Collective Intelligence

An Introduction to Collective Intelligence

An interesting looking kind of annotated bibiliography about collective intelligence.

Great tips on how to animate cut-outs in PowerPoint to create a screencast of a tutorial or a presentation for learning purposes.

You can download the cut-outs from the Common Craft library http://www.commoncraft.com/cut-out-library or create your own images.

I like Prezi!

Prezi realizza presentazioni di grande effetto con il minimo sforzo, ma spesso l'autore non riesce a sfruttare il supporto nel migliore dei modi. Questo post fornisce indicazioni utili e semplici almeno per cominciare nel migliore dei modi.

In 2011, the respective roles of higher education institutions and students worldwide were brought into question by the rise of the massive open online course (MOOC). MOOCs are defined by signature characteristics that include: lectures formatted as short videos combined with formative quizzes; automated assessment and/or peer and self–assessment and an online forum for peer support and discussion. Although not specifically designed to optimise learning, claims have been made that MOOCs are based on sound pedagogical foundations that are at the very least comparable with courses offered by universities in face–to–face mode. To validate this, we examined the literature for empirical evidence substantiating such claims. Although empirical evidence directly related to MOOCs was difficult to find, the evidence suggests that there is no reason to believe that MOOCs are any less effective a learning experience than their face–to–face counterparts. Indeed, in some aspects, they may actually improve learning outcomes.

Conclusion

According to one study, the "pedagogical foundations of MOOCs are sound" in comparison with traditional university and college courses - although admittedly they didn't have much data to work with.
