WordPress as eLearning Launchpad – H5P Roadshow 2021
Well, 2021 is shaping up to be a lot like 2020 as far as travel goes. Normally this time of year I’m getting ready to head to conferences in person. This year I’m participating in a few virtual conferences, and one of them I am I super excited to have been a part of is…
ABC Learning Design, ABC to VLE
I am pretty sure that a couple of years ago I was at some other conference and had heard about this ABC method of designing courses. I have to say I was quite pleased with how the workshop went and that this might be the single biggest take-away for me from EDEN19. At least 80…
We Underestimate the Testing Effect
The opening plenary session of EDEN was mostly about assessment. Although they call it the testing effect, a number of the tools the presenter showed included assessment techniques beyond what we would normally assume to be straight up MCQs in perpetuity. (e-)assessment – exam – evaluation – certification The presenter began with the Ebbinghaus’ forgetting…
EDEN Day 3
I attended a synergies session this morning where quite a few short and sweet presentations were given. There was a bit of conversation and indications from the presenters and audience that a number of the projects overlapped and that they would need to connect following the conference. This post will mostly just be a blast…
EDEN day 2
Making Connections in Distance Education This morning we had an engaging presentation from Jan Elen (KU Leuven, Center for Instructional Psychology and Technology, Belgium). He told the story of their journey to distance delivery of brand new programs, the context and the challenges. Of course one of the key issues was that this was to…
EDEN Day 1
Well, I ended up with like half a dozen new blog posts that will not become their own posts by this point. I sometimes see people go to conferences and make individual posts for every session, and kudos to them, that’s just impossible for me it seems despite my best intentions. We Underestimate the Testing…
OEGlobal 2018 Day2
The TU Delft Campus is full of interesting sculptures. Working at the intersection of open research and open education Erin McKiernan’s keynote provided a deeper dive on what open education could mean in a physiology classroom. There were not any mentions of textbooks, or wikipedia, but instead she focused on what teaching and learning looks…
OEGlobal18 Day 1
I think the only way to describe this conference is “jam packed”. 20-25 minute sessions back to back to back to back to back. It’s a lot to take in, and some of it definitely sticks and some of it runs off of your already over saturated brain. Today certainly had it’s highlights though: Open…
Pre-Conference TU Delft Open & Online Education
After making my way from the OER18 conference and Amsterdam I found myself in the city of Delft. I’d met open ed folks from TU Delft at past conferences, seen their MOOCs online, and heck we even used the Delft Design Method as our approach to the Instructional Design Service MOOC with Designers for Learning.…
OER18 Lightning Talks
Layne Lawson This might be the first, true to form, lightning talks segment I’ve been to at a conference. I have to say that all of the presenters and the time keeper were quite respectful of one another. Other times I see this format play out at conferences there is always at least one person…
