Summary:
In our interconnected world, it is evermore important for educators to not only utilize communication technologies in the classroom but to evaluate students. This presentation addresses how to use visually enhanced podcasting in a Liberal Art course as an assignment that assists in preparing students for tomorrow’s world.
Visually enhanced podcasting is a pedagogic technique that points away from a teacher-centered education by combining audio with film and multi-media images in a single assignment. As a multi-media assignment, podcasting is ideally suited for learning and teaching the Liberal Arts. I discuss the basic construction of a visually enhanced podcast and focus on two types (i.e., power point and non-power point) that I have assigned to students. I examine these assignments’ role in student evaluation and how they encourage students to explore their mental “toolboxes” prior to complex decision making in the post-college environment.

Social media and emerging technologies are gaining increased attention for use in education. The list of tools grows daily. You've heard of blogs, wikis, Ning, podcasts, Facebook, Twitter, Second Life, cloud computing, surface computing, mobile learning, and so on.
This webcast will explore the impact of new technologies, research, and related projects. What does it all mean? Do long term trends and change cycles exist in the constant change? What patterns are emerging? And, perhaps most importantly, should academics and education leaders respond?

Summary:
Ambient Insight defines three major types of "native" Mobile Learning products: Handheld Decision Support, Device-embedded Learning, and Location-based Learning. This Webinar will explore new innovative learning products that utilize location-based services (LBS) technology. These products enable a type of knowledge transfer facilitated by wirelessly networked interfaces and sensors adapting to the presence of the user at a specific location. Global Positioning System (GPS) chips, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) chips, and 2D and 3D bar codes are often used in this type of learning, particularly in clinical healthcare environments, first responder situations, museums, consumer education, and in the tourist industry.
