Amazing what you can do with an iPod or free open source learning software and resources
I just participated in the e-Learning DevCon 2007 conference over the last three days, and here were some of the topics and practical skills that I learned more about:
- How to create effective simulations for learning
- What Web 2.0 things do and do not work for corporate “knowledge management” purposes
- How to use video iPods for interactive learning (very interesting - never seen before how interactive an iPod can be)
- “Google gadgets” for learning
- How to create video blogs (vlogs) using a software called Vlog It! (which I hope to do soon!)
- How to create custom search engines with Google or EBSCO
- Effective ways to utilize and promote “drivetime podcasts”
- More about effective interactive design
- Overview of all the open source learning software and resources
- Using cookies to track learning data in Flash
- The power of video ethnographies in e-learning
- Must read book lists
- And a bunch more…
To be honest, the conference started a little slow for me, but by the end I was very glad that I went.
I want to learn all these too! Do you have notes to share?
I do have my own notes and access online to the audio files of most of the presentations (along with their presentation materials). Let me know what you are most interested in and I can get you more info. Thanks!
