Sakai: Open Source … Open Minds

"Unlike Learning Management Systems, Sakai turns students into active learners and contributors, and the instructor into a facilitator. The instructor activates tools and gives students, or groups of students, permissions to use them as they like; the instructor does not have to be an expert in the tools. This is just the start of the difference between Sakai and LMSs."

Using a wiki to document Isaak, Brock University’s Sakai-Based LMS

"The web is the best tool for infinite access to the same resource and to that end the CTLET look to Wikis to document things like WebCT, Sakai/Isaak, Brock University on iTunes U, etc. This decision to use a wiki was because of the constantly evolving nature of these teaching tools and the scarce resources of the Centre: It was just more timely to write-up articles that explain things or to write a how-tos that were sufficient and then post them.

Capturing Lectures: No Brainer or Sticky Wicket

"This ECAR research bulletin describes how the formerly separate domains of lecture capture technologies and the emerging options for publicly sharing lectures on Web 2.0 consumer platforms are destined for convergence and are raising important questions related to policy, control, and governance. Lecture capture and cloud-based consumer publishing platforms are creating a range of opportunities and challenges for academic leaders that will touch on issues of openness, transparency, outreach, and control."

Fans and Fears of 'Lecture Capture'

"Attendance is much more contingent on whether the professor is an engaging lecturer, said Jennifer Stringer, director of educational technology at the Stanford University School of Medicine, at one of the sessions. “Well-attended lectures were well-watched; poorly attended lectures were not watched,” Stringer said, pointing to research she had conducted at Stanford. "If you’re bad, you’re bad. If you’re bad online, you’re bad in lectures, students don’t come.”"

Online Learning: More Than Technical Savvy

"... the introduction of online experiences for students should be consciously engineered to best capitalize on their readiness for independent learning, and that the progression into the online learning environment be intentionally built into the undergraduate curriculum rather than simply offering students an open menu of face-to-face, hybrid, or fully online courses."
