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.
