The last post outlined the process for extracting data from ~300 student submissions. This one outlines what was done to actually do some analysis on that data....more...
A couple of weeks ago I wrote this post outlining the design of an Excel spreadsheet EDC3100 students were asked to use for their first assignment. They'll be using it to evaluate an ICT-based lesson plan. The assignment is due Tuesday and ~140 have submitted so far. It's time to develop the code that's going to help me analyse the student submissions....more...
The following is an attempt to think about the inter-connections between the paper "Open Educational Resources (OERs) for TPACK Development" presented by Mark Hofer and Judi Harris at SITE'2016 and the Moodle OpenBook project and my own teaching....more...
SITE'2016 is almost finished, so it's past time I started sharing some of the finds and thoughts that have arisen. There's been a (very small) bit of movement around the notion of open. I'll write about LATs and OER and some possibilities in another post. This post is meant to explore the possibility of adapting some of the TPACK learning activities shared by @Keane_Kelly during her session into SPLOTs....more...

The following is intended to be an example that will be used in the course I'm teaching. It's meant to demonstrate appropriate ways to reuse resources that have been created in different ways. It's also an opportunity to explicitly test my understanding. So feel free to correct me....more...
EDC3100 tries to get students engaged with writing their own blogs and following the blogs of others via a feed reader. Yes, just a bit old fashioned....more...
The following documents the (hopefully) last bit of extra work I have to undertake to prepare the digital "learning space" for EDC3100, ICT and Pedagogy. It's work that has taken most of my working day. At a time when I can't really afford it. But it's time I have to spend if I want to engage effectively in one of the most fundamental activities in teaching - know thy student....more...
Semester has commenced. First lecture yesterday. Big plans to use Zoom to "broadcast" the lecture to online students and to make a recording that could be shared with those who didn't want to/couldn't listen to my dulcet, droning tones at 8am on a Tuesday morning....more...
