The National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) operates an exclusively open and distance learning (ODL) mode of education whereby students study mostly by reading printed course materials. Practical activities including tasks, exercises, experiments and other activities that involve doing things practically are integrated in the course materials to support student learning. Because distance learners are physically separated from their tutors, we do not know whether or not they actually carry out these practical activities they are expected to complete. This study was conducted to ascertain the competency level of NOUN students in terms of the extent to which they have attained mastery of practical activities embedded in their course modules. We adopted descriptive survey design and employed multi-stage stratified sampling technique to select 283 third-year undergraduate students to perform practical tasks. In addition, 43 copies of printed course materials in which the practical tasks were extracted, together with 43 subject specialists who assessed students’ performance, formed sample for the study. Students’ performance was assessed against a set of 9 pre-determined criteria all of which were rated on a 4-point scale (1=poor to 4= excellent). Data collected were analyzed using basic descriptive statistics. Findings revealed that students generally demonstrated low level of competency in the performance of their tasks. However, of the 9 criteria, students demonstrated highest mastery in accuracy and logical reasoning followed by clarity, application and sequence of ideas in that order. The least attained competency was self-learning followed by coverage and problem solving. Further findings revealed that 84 (29.7%) of sampled students appeared not to have mastered the practical skills prescribed in their course modules as opposed to 199 (70.3%) who appeared to have acquired some level of practical skills. The findings of the study suggest the need to focus support services aimed at helping learners to engage actively in the learning process.

La semana pasada les hablábamos de las nuevas oficinas de Google en Japón. Si estas oficinas nos sorprendían por su elegante aire “zen”, espérese a quedarse de nuevo con la boquiabierta con el nuevo campus del gigante de internet en Dublín.

Have you ever wanted to create, print, and demonstrate graphs in your classroom? If so then using Desmos would be an awesome web 2.0 tool for you to look into. This graphing calculator can graph anywhere from simple to complex graphs. Just add the formulas and the graph will appear quickly. You can then save, print and share your graphs via email, website or your classroom blog.

Al parecer Google está probando un nuevo servicio, o al menos una nueva característica para Google+. El nombre que tiene por el momento sería Google Mine, y del cual hemos tenido noticias por primera vez hoy.
¿Cuál sería su función? “Compartir tus pertenencias con tus amigos, y ver qué están compartiendo”. Sería algo así como un gestor de préstamos online e integrado con la red social. Podríamos, además, crear wishlists, escribir comentarios sobre los items y, además, integrarlo todo con Google Shopping.
Incluso parecen tener preparada una app para Android en Bazaar, su repositorio interno, y un visor basado en WebGL llamado Katamari que nos permite visualizar los objetos en 3D. Estaremos atentos a ver si esto sale a la luz o no pasa de las pruebas internas entre empleados de la multinacional.

La nueva versión de Dropbox en su línea experimental, más precisamente la 2.3.12, ha dejado ver las primeras nuevas características de su servicio entre las que se destaca la subida automática de las capturas de pantalla que se realicen.
De momento, solo en las versiones de Windows y Mac podremos utilizar este servicio y la captura se puede realizar como se hace habitualmente en cada sistema. Una vez hecha, la imagen se cargaría automáticamente al servicio y se copiará el enlace público al portapapeles sin hacer nada.

Sam Gilksman has compared the two platforms for use on his iPad.
Great comparison. Liked finding out more info on Schoology.
I like the feature of being able to grade the discussions. I love Edmodo, however, Schoology looks like a great solution for secondary classes and their workflow.
