Engaging #students #online with @engageli? Apart from the screenshots and analytics, this looks just like using #BreakoutRooms and polls/chat in #ZOOM? What am I missing? #TheEmperorsNewClothes #HigherEd #TEL
Pandemic closes school. Students go home. Remote classes falter. Child is disengaged. Parent builds edtech.
So goes the origin story of many education startups born this year, like ClassEDU, which raised $16 million to put some oomph in Zoom classrooms. It was started by one of the co-founders of Blackboard, now a household name in education technology.
Now, a couple with similar industry cred has a similar vision—along with plenty of funding.
“We want to build from the ground up an inclusive learning system for students and faculty, one that can recreate engaging, live learning experiences online,” says Dan Avida.
Avida is the husband of Coursera co-founder Daphne Koller, and one of the first board members of the company that helped put the spotlight on massive online open courses, or MOOCs. The couple is no longer with Coursera, which is now valued at $2.5 billion. But they are not done with higher education yet.
Through their new startup, Engageli, they want to replicate the social feeling of being in a classroom, layered with live data about student engagement, on a browser-based tool that they hope to sell to colleges and universities.

"The impact and possibilities of video feedback in higher education - towards a model of care, trust, and social presence."
This presentation explored the use, impact and possibilities of Video Feedback in Higher Education towards a model of care, trust and social presence. Fostering the conditions for the design of a sustainable model in which dialogical feedback/forward can develop means the function of feedback can be mutually understood and utilised.

You might think of captions as necessary for students with a hearing impairment to participate in your online class. And while that is true, live zoom captions serve other purposes too.
Getting the whole picture – visual approaches to learning design and curriculum mapping at different scales Webinar Thursday 30th September, 2021
This webinar is part of a TELedvisor series on working across teams, and looks at some of the tools that teams use for planning and sharing curriculum designs and learning designs.
This is a joint presentation of ascilite's Learning Design SIG and TELedvisors SIG.
Michelle Riggs - Michelle is new to learning design, new to the Australian Institute of Business, Adelaide, where she is an educational designer, and new to research. When she took on the design of a new unit in the research program, she wanted to get a clearer picture of the unit’s place in the research candidate’s journey. She’s adapted her team’s approach to unit and module design to explore visual representations at a program level, using a simple online planning tool.
At San José State University, students are back. But virtual classes are not going away. The trend toward online teaching, fueled by covid concerns, appears to be making deeper headway in higher education.

A Melbourne school has launched a podcast to enhance its student voice and develop an array of communication and technical skills in a real-world setting.
The new podcast, called Beyond the Gates, also gives students access to external experts for inspiration and guidance as part of the project.
Podcasts have become increasingly popular during the COVID-19 pandemic. This year’s Infinite Dial Australia study by Edison Research and Commercial Radio Australia found that 5.6 million Australians (26%) listen to podcasts on a weekly basis – up from 53% in 2020.

As classes return to face to face after last year’s unforeseen pandemic, “Zoom university” has already become second nature to students. Offering more hybrid flexible courses should have been a priority this semester so students could continue to feel comfortable. Many students are questioning the r
The COVID-19 pandemic has made it necessary to innovate flexible teaching methods. As a result, many instructors have learned to deliver their agendas and instruction via Zoom and Teams. In autumn of 2020, students returned in limited numbers. They were welcomed by "HyFlex Learning" in which half received remote instruction while the other half were physically present. This new normal became a part of the day-to-day lives of UCPH students.
Creating e-learning modules can seem overwhelming, even if you’re a longtime educator. Plus, once you’ve created e-modules, how can you tell if they are good?
The NEscore, an e-learning scorecard created by educational experts at the University of Nebraska Medical Center, is your roadmap to developing high-quality modules and evaluating existing ones.

2021 was the YEAR OF DISRUPTION! There were a substantial number of new tools nominated this year so the main list has now been extended to 300 tools to accommodate them, and each of the 3 sub-lists has been increased to 150 tools. Although the top of this year’s list is relatively stable, there is quite bit of movement of tools on the rest of the list, and the effect of the new tools has been to push other established tools down – if not off the list altogether. Further analysis of the list appears in the right-hand column of the table below.
