The fight has hea...

Opinions, observations, and practices in college-level educational technology and distance learning. Tuesday, November 1, 2011. A "New" Kind of Virtualization for Distance Learning. Although in virtualization we are not talking about mainframes, a good deal has changed. In fact, virtualization now does not necessarily mean you need a special client device. Instead, it may be possible for a virtual server to work with existing desktop computers, laptops and tablets. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Edtech Application: June 2011
http://kembarfield.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Opinions, observations, and practices in college-level educational technology and distance learning. Sunday, June 12, 2011. Twitter has and has had tremendous promise for use as an educational tool but bringing it into broad educational usage is fraught with challenges, some that have to do with students, the administration, and faculty…and some with Twitter’s own policies. Public, you can also follow lists themselves, essentially follow the tweets of sets of others without following them individually.

Edtech Application: Too Much Interactivity in Online Courses
http://kembarfield.blogspot.com/2011/01/too-much-interactivity-in-online.html

Opinions, observations, and practices in college-level educational technology and distance learning. Monday, November 29, 2010. Where Are the Faculty Leaders for Digital Humanities? A colleague recently sent me a link to a New York Times article, Digital Keys for Unlocking the Humanities’ Riches. The article is not a list of hitherto unquantifiable potentialities; it asks the question of purpose and value of the information being obtained. Leading web 2.0. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
